six Appropriations bills to fund the government through fiscal year 2024 the bill now heads to the Senate congressmen from the left and the right oppose the bill s and Republicans representative margerie Taylor Green from Georgia has filed a motion to vacate the speakership our Washington correspondent Luis Martinez joins us live from the capital Luis what can you tell us about these latest developments from Congress Stephanie yes so earlier this morning the House of Representatives passed a second batch of six appropriation bills to fund government through fiscal year 2024 with 286 votes in favor of the bill and 13 34 against over 20 Democrats voted against this funding bill mostly because it cut funding to the United Nations and its Palestinian refugee program uh but also more than a 100 Republican congressmen voted against the funding bill I he spoke with the chairman of the freedom caucus of Congressman Bob good earlier today and this is what he had to say of why he and his caucus voted against the funding bill let's listen to Congressman Bob good I think those are mistakes I think the Bill's a mistake I think failure to require border security to fund this government we're giving $3 billion more to the Department of Homeland Security we're giving $3 billion more to my orus to facilitate the Border Invasion so it's a bad Bill it's a bad process and is a failure leadership so right after casting her vote the representative Marjorie Taylor green the Republican from Georgia took the steps of the Capital Hill to announce that she had introduced a motion to vacate the speakership a motion to OU speaker Johnson let's listen to what representative Marjorie Taylor green had to say about her confidence in her conference's leadership today I filed a motion to vacate after speaker Johnson has betrayed our conference and broken our rules uh we were promise promised regular order uh that's what our conference had started out as uh with rules and Promises to the American people that we would bring regular order back to Congress uh this is a betrayal of the American people this is a betrayal of Republican voters so the House of Representatives right after this vote began its recess uh break for two weeks so the motion to vacate the speakership won't be discussed for over two weeks uh the funding bill uh did go straight to the senate floor with some Senators hope uh to meet the midnight deadline and avert a partial government shutdown but other Senators like Republican senator Mike Lee from Utah and Rand Paul from Kentucky had already signaled that they will request amends and hold the process in the senate floor so a government shutdown is still a possibility back to you Steph all right Luis Martinez reporting live from DC thank you so much of course and supporters of Trump's social media merger are expected to vote today to take the company public the approved merger between Trump's truth social and digital world acquisition Corp would net the former president a potential of $3.5 billion Trump would have a 60% stake in the company public company it's unclear when Trump can access that money which he may need with his $464 million bond for his civil fraud case due Monday a provision in the deal prevents insiders like Trump from selling shares for six months he could request special permission to sell or borrow against the shares however it's unclear if the insurers would approve and former president Trump says he raised nearly $500 million in cash but it isn't enough to stop attorney general Laticia James from seizing his property and Trump is beating President Biden in a Michigan poll by a lot ntid's legal correspondent Arlene Richards reports Mr President former president Trump has lots of cash he said in a truth social post that he has almost $500 million in cash but is it enough to pay a massive fine the cash would have been enough to pay the massive judgment in the New York civil fraud case a few weeks ago but he also has to pay 9% interest per day which increases the amount to more than $500 million A source told Fox News that the Trump team is continuing to look at every conceivable option hoping for the best but preparing for the worst while Trump is battling a legal fine in New York he's coming out ahead in a Michigan presidential election poll in a new CNN poll conducted March 13 to 16 50% of Voters support Trump over Biden with 42% favoring Biden Arlene Richards NTD news today the United Nations security Council was unable to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal both Russia and China vetoed the measure proposed by the US the Russian Ambassador says it wouldn't have an impact on the ground this hypocritical initiative which is designed to disorient the International Community and essentially to undermine the authority of the council the resolution calls for a six- week long immediate and sustained ceasefire it would protect civilians and allow for the delivery of humanitarian assistance the American ambassador to the United Nations says the vast majority of this Council voted in favor of this resolution Russia's ambassadors as a number of non-permanent members of the security Council have drafted an alternate resolution and as the ceasefire deal failed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also met with US Secretary of State Anthony blinkin today he says Israeli Defense Forces are going into Rafa into Rafa after Hamas with or without us support and in the West Bank more settlements are coming Israel's fi Israel's fin Finance Minister said nearly 2,000 acres of land have been designated for that purpose leaders in the Palestinian Authority condemn the move calling it quote a continuation of the extermination and displacement of our people the US recently called Israel's land approval inconsistent with international law that law refers to territory Israel captured during the 1967 Middle East War Israel denies that claim citing the Jewish people's historical and biblical ties to the land to better understand what this all means we're joining joed with David joined by David wormser he's an analyst for Middle East Affairs at the center for security policy David why are they doing this to begin with what's your understanding of that well thanks Stephanie why they're doing it is in part uh security the uh the not all Israelis but uh this Israeli government many Israeli governments before believe that actual uh settlement on the land is essential to seizing strategic territories that cannot be turned back over to any other authority and that therefore the only real way to guarantee that they will never be turned back over is to is to have actual settlement on those lands so it's a strategic move for many Israelis to Define their eventual borders uh legally the Israelis have a very strong case the uh state state department or the United States declared them illegal about a month ago but the truth is that uh every government of the United States up until now the exception of one brief diversion in the 70s under President Carter has examined this issue and decided that actually Israeli settlements are legal we oppose them because we feel they're not helpful but but but they're legal so in terms of the legality of it could they potentially adopt the same method in the Gaza Strip well yes anything that is part of the original 1922 mandatory territory which includes everything between the Jordan River and including Gaza and what we know as the West Bank all of that's part of the mandatory territory which is now of undetermined sovereignty uh there's by the way tremendous amount of Palestinian settlement going on as well that is illegal in territories that they had agreed not to settle under the uh Oslo Accords the Israelis are settling in areas that they did never agree not to settle in under the oso Accords but yes all of this is part of that territory including Gaza and there is a there is a political point that the Israelis want to make is you can't declare war on Israel cost free that you may lose land irreversibly for doing that and of course these negotiations around ceasefire are still going ahead in some sense they keep coming back how does this move impact the ceasefire negotiations well that's a really good question I mean the obviously the Palestinian side especially will seize upon this to say oh that's one more bad move or lack of Goodwill gesture on the Israeli part but the Israelis have one very focused attitude toward the ceasefire there's no point to a ceasefire until total Victory unless there's a temporary pause to secure the hostages so for them give up the hostages and we'll go back to war and finish you off that the Israelis are are on the road to Total Victory against Hamas and Gaza and a cease fire is only a small in their mind so that whether Hamas agrees or not or whether it feels that this is a bad move or moves them away from it that's less concern for the Israelis for them the the greater concern is eventually to defeat Kamas so that Kamas will not be in a position to do another October 7 which we know that they have said that they would want to and intend to do over and over and over again until Israel is obliterated so it's worthwhile keeping that perspective in mind as we consider these ceasefire talks yeah thank you so much for your time David worms are great to speak with you thank you Stephanie tensions continued to mount today after hundreds of illegal immigrants stormed

this information David vies ND news Paris staying in Europe among the speculation on social media the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton breaks her silence in a new video posted on X today as you can imagine this has taken time it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment but most importantly it has taken us time to explain everything to George Charlotte and Louie in a way that's appropriate for them and to reassure them that I'm going to be okay she said she would use chemotherapy and encouraged anyone facing the disease not to lose Faith or hope the Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday that it still expects to cut its key interest rate three times this year nd's Andrew Thomas speaks with Bank rates Chief Financial Analyst to discuss how the Central Bank rates projection will impact consumers and businesses after Wednesday's meeting fed officials kept their Benchmark rate unchanged for the fifth time straight the central bank's decision comes as prices for food and other consumer Essentials continue to soar Greg what does the fed's latest announcement mean for consumers who are struggling with inflation inflation is moving closer to that 2% Mark but it's a bit of a bumpy road uh we haven't seen consistent progress uh there's been some some setbacks in the January and February numbers uh so it's not going to come at the same Pace that we had seen late last year the bottom line is uh even though prices aren't going up as fast as they had been they're still going up and they're still considerably higher than they were just a few years ago the Consumer Price Index itself is up 20% food prices are up 25% from just a few years ago and that's the reality that that households are continuing to contend with so how will the fed's recent projections impact businesses and business owners uh the FED really has sort of stuck to this idea of of potentially three rate Cuts this year and you saw a very positive reaction in markets because of that so uh the prospect that inflation's going to continue to come down uh that interest rates themselves will be able to come down and all the while the economy is going to continue to grow uh I think is very positive backdrop uh as it pertains to uh consumers and businesses but McBride adds that this is no time to get complacent however if you have debt keep in mind interest rates took the elevator going up but they're going to take the stairs coming down so you cannot uh ease off on that prior priority of of paying down high cost debt like credit card debt those rates are going to stay high even when rates come down they're not going to come down very fast so lower rates won't bail you out from that perspective you're still going to have to do the heavy lifting uh in terms of of making Headway on that debt for the fed the continuing effort to tame inflation is a balancing act yeah there's a bit of a timing issue here the FED doesn't want to leave rates too high too long and topple the economy into a recession but at the same token they don't want to ease back interest rates too quickly either uh and really squander the success on on getting inflation lower or allowing it to flare up again the FED expects fewer rate Cuts in 2025 and raised their inflation forecasts as well Andrew Thomas NTD news about 10% of us workers are in jobs that face the greatest risk of
