when they say we'll keep doing it over and over again? do you agree that they will if they can? secretary austin: i do. senator graham: do you believe hezbollah is a terrorist organization also bent on the destruction of jewish state. secretary austin: it is. senator graham: israel has been hit by iran, hezbollah, and hamas, and you're telling me you're going to tell them how to fight the war and what they can and can't use when everybody around them wants to kill all the jews and you're telling me that if we withhold weapons in this fight the existential fight for the life of the jewish state it won't send the wrong signal? host: senator lindsey graham in that hearing yesterday with the defense secretary. if you missed it go to our website c-span.org. we covered the entire hearing. can you watch it there. we also covered yesterday's

officials from public schools k through 12 on capitol hill testifying about anti-semitism in k through 12 education. it made the front page of the "new york times" this morning. public school chiefs perry anti-semitism claims the hearing was the third by house republicans to exphroez what they say as a pro-palestinian agenda gripping schools and college campuses since the start of the israel-hamas war. david banks, the new york city schools chancellor, said the repeatedly hostile questions from the panel suggested it was trying to illicit gotcha moments rather than solve the problem of anti-semitism. quote, he said, we cannot simply discipline our way out of this problem. the true antidote to ignorance and bias is to teach. you can find that hearing as well on our website c-span.org, or download our free mobile video app, c-span now. you can watch what these officials had to tell lawmakers yesterday. anthony in staten island, new

york, a republican. open forum. caller: i was going to talk about the voting law which it should be. talk about lateral and gaza how president biden is an empty shoot on this issue because all he cares about is getting votes. i'm sick and tired -- why don't they give the correct information. when they talk about how many civilians did they say have been killed in gaza, do you have that number? host: over 30,000. caller: ok. do you realize they also include hamas soldiers in that count? if there's 13,000 soldiers killed they count that with the civilians. it's all inflated to make israel look bad. they are surrounded by 22 muslim countries f these people, these palestinians, why don't the other muslim countries take them in. egypt doesn't want them. host: what about the 70 -- people say 70% of those killed are women and children. not hamas. caller: how do you know that? that's hamas telling you that. do you know that for sure? they count their soldiers into

their civilian count of dead. host: you don't believe that. caller: you trust the count? host: ok. joseph in tampa, florida, republican. caller: hello. host: good morning, joseph. caller: yes, how are you? the last caller i agree with sneaky joe biden's tricks. i don't understand why he's even getting involved in that. he's been there so long. doesn't need to supply artillery shells. the australian tanks take over. he's warned them people to get out of rafah. get out of town. or we are going to blow you up. get out of town, folks. host: where would they go? caller: where they supposed to go. back north where gaza's already cleaned up. host: mary beth, pittsburgh, pennsylvania, democratic caller. caller: hi. i don't want to talk about the war. i want to talk about president biden. he has done an incredible job.

he has done so much more for this country than any president i have seen in the last 50 years. we got jobs. he brought us out of this pandemic. like nothing before. and americans really need to make up and stop listening to fox and all those other lying conservatives. president biden is doing a better job than trump could even think of. thank you. host: all right, mary beth. headline to share with you anti-"washington post." r.f.k. jr. said he had a parasitic brain worm and undisclosed memory loss. this was more than 10 years ago. and according to his campaign staff, the issue was resolved then. and he is in robust physical and mental health. questioning mr. kennedy's health is a hilarious suggestion given his competition is what the campaign said. michael in mount vernon, new york. democratic caller. hello. caller: good morning.

i wanted to talk about the guest you had on this espaillat kaeurbg tefrplt he is such a liar. i'm telling you, democratic party here in new york are a bunch of liers. they don't tell you the truth. it's all coming from washington, d.c. from this joe biden and his administration. all this stuff about gaza and all this. they are all inflating it. telling you lies. you can't believe nothing. you cannot believe anything that is coming out of the democratic party right now because all they care about is their purses. all right. i believe that when this election comes up that donald trump is going to be the man. all right. and i believe that. all these people talking about how the economy is doing all great and everything. that's a bunch of bull. the economy is not doing good.

people are out here struggling. all right. if you drive around on any street during the weekend or late at night, nobody is there. it's dead. because people can't afford to go out. people can't afford to have a social life. everything is based on economic thing they have going on in d.c. they are not doing a good job. they are doing -- they are the worst. host: all right. michael's thoughts there in mount vernon, new york. happening on capitol hill today the senate banking committee holds a hearing to examine the impact of hidden fees in financial services and rental housing that adds extra cost to consumer's monthly bills. watch that live right here on c-span at 10 a.m. eastern time. also on c-span now, our free video mobile app or online at c-span.org. also at 10 a.m. eastern time, confirmation hearings for several state department nominees, including the

democrats and republicans voted to save him. mr. johnson: members have just voted. they made their voices heard on the motion to vacation the matter. now we have very important work to do for the country. there are a lot of things to fix. last week we announced a house wide effort to crack down on anti-semitism on campus. this morning, we introduced legislation to fortify american elections. and ensure that only american citizens can vote. i'm glad that this distraction is not going to inhibit that important work and all the other things that are on the table and on the agenda for us right now. hopefully this is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character assassination that has defined the 118th congress. it's regrettable. it's not who we are as americans and we are bert than this. we need to get beyond it. the speaker of the house serves the whole house. that's the job. everybody. but i am a lifelong movement conservative republican. and i intend to continue to govern in accordance with those

core principles. we believe in the core principles. i call them the seven core principles of american conservatism. they are also the core principles of america itself. i believe in the individual freedom. limited government. the rule of law. peace through strength. fiscal responsibility. free markets and human dignity. those are the guiding principles that inform our work. that we work for every day here to pursue. to ensure that all americans have more liberty and opportunity and security. and those foundations are in jeopardy right now. we need steady hands at the wheel. we need people who understand what made america. the strongest, most power free, successful, benevolent nation in the history of the world. we have to fight for that every day. host: speaker johnson, republican of louisiana, will continue in that role after an effort to oust him failed on the house floor yesterday. raymond in florida. democratic caller. raymond. caller: how you doing.

host: morning. caller: i just have a couple of things to say. first of all, it would be really nice if you have live speakers on there, people could be more respectful. don't know what we are doing in our society that you don't have to agree with -- disagree with them, just try to be more civil. sometimes i watch, goodness, gracious. that's all i wanted to say. and just one other thing. two other quick things. one, all we ask for is people to be honest. yesterday on cnn when biden got on there, be honest. if inflation is high, it's high. don't say it was 9% when i took -- when i took office. it was a year and a half later. let's just have some honesty. it's ridiculous. my last point on the bombs. i agree with biden that we shouldn't be sending over those 2,000-pound
