Washington Today (10/16/2023): Secretary Blinken Meets with Israeli Defense Minister

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was back in Israel today after visiting six Arab countries over the past four days… He reaffirmed US support for Israel to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant…We'll hear what both of them had to say coming up. The House is back in session today at 6 pm Eastern before a possible vote for Speaker at noon tomorrow. And at 6:30 eastern tonight. House Republicans are expected to hold another conference meeting to build support for Jim Jordan to be the next Speaker. He became the nominee on Friday, but the latest count shows him short of the 217 votes needed to take the gave.

And we'll get a preview of episode five of Books That Shaped America. Tonight's program looks at "The Common Law" by Oliver Wendell Holmes. He wrote the book based a series of lectures he had given on criminal and civil law two decades before he would become a Supreme Court Justice.
