Tonight on three 60, the dysfunction is coming inside the house as republicans fight republicans over who will be the next speaker. New yorks the tourney general Laetitia James, thats the donald trump show is over as this while trial continues in the former president heads back to florida. Plus, the First Quarter france for the first person yet to be charge into boxes killing, 27 years after the crime. We will talk to the t eight on the case. Good evening, thank you for joining, us we begin tonight with the Dysfunction Infighting and backbiting among House Republicans after eight of them meet their Party Leader Kevin Mccarthy the first ever House Speaker to be voted out of a job. That, and why none of it should be surprising to him or anyone. First, quickly, the dysfunction got so bad after the vote, we learned today that republicans cannot even stand to be in the same room together for more than a few minutes. There was a meeting last night as you may, know of republicans, and that room would have devolved into i think physical attacks on one another if people stayed in there for long periods of time. That is a republican congressman resident mitt at left members last night unable to agree on a successor or anything else except putting off a decision until next week. Today other than congressman jim jordan throwing their heads in the ring, and Marjorie Taylor greene saying the former president should get the job, nothing whatsoever happened. Nothing but anger and recur nations against the gop rumbles who voted to ask mccarthy, especially the instigator florida matt gaetz. I think yesterday we saw matt gaetz, one of the greatest acts of heresy ive seen in a while. Matt gaetz undermined the entire conference, he undermined the entire institution. What theyre guys doing is not the best interests of the United States of america. You want to come at me and call me a rhino you can kiss my thump your chest on, twitter yes, come to my office and i really cant believe that people like matt gaetz were so dumb to fall for this. He is certainly going to have to earn some respect within the conference. There needs to be accountability for the eight individuals who selfishly upended our house majority, and put their own interests above the country. Matt gaetz is using the American People as pawns in his narcissistic game of charades, and i think we have had enough. The house is adjourned until friday, they have until tuesday or wednesday to find its weaker. A. To ukraines intimate with all the other important things the congressman needs to do including passing measures to keep the government, going and troops paid when this weekends temporary Spending Measure expires 42 days from now. And, again none of this should surprise the former speaker rebellion within his own Party Costume speakership. Aided by the role that he himself agreed and exchange to the job. The allowing a Single Member of this case Congressman Gaetz to launch the effort to unseat him. Instead of looking inward last night he said this. I think today was a political decision whether democrats. I think of the things they have done in the past heard the institution. They just started removing people from they just started doing other things. And my fear is, the institution because you cant do the job with eight people, you have 94 , 96 of your entire conference, but eight people can partner with the side. How do you govern . And for them to make a motion on me because that Make A Decision for the country, that they agreed with, but they choose to do the other. That becomes a problem. Now keep in mind, that claim, democrats disingenuous that, best the rule allowing a Single Member to challenge a speakership with a house rule. It applies to any member of any party, meaning any democrat could have done what matt gaetz did at anytime during kevin we got these 269 days as speaker. No democrats did. Matt gaetz, a republican use that rule, which again mccarthy agreed to in order to get the job, which in turn made his job impossible, some ten Republican Senate leader has underscored today. To do that dawn, or anyone, you have to get rid of the motion to vacate, because it puts whoever the speaker is in a hammer lock this function. Potential dysfunction. The Concession By Mccarthy was part of a series of steps he took that have fed and nurtured the radical wing of his party in order to more from my friend colleague jake tapper, and fed in assured the eating elaborate that would that coddling of his political assassins began before republicans control the house. Starting when he abandoned his criticism of the former president just two weeks after saying he bore responsibility for january 6th. It continued with the forcing out of law straining, after kinzinger joined the Marjory Taylor green, Speaker Mccarthy telling according to the new york times, quote, i will never leave that woman talking about green. Tellingly, she disappeared him yesterday. But in a larger stance her piece of the party including Government Shutdown only empowered republicans who including the one who pushed the same hardliners to shut down Anti Government and push the speaker he once called into a corner he could not get out of. The former president who should be known in court on trial for fraud. Joining us now, cnn political commentator and are you surprised that most House Republicans are not blaming mccarthy for teeing up all this . Yes, i guess in a way, they have to give their public view, but i think at their heart they know. At their heart they know that he made concessions to the very people, even in the concessions to the very people to run their vote. Not only for eight, months they turned against him. This was the most foreseeable thing. It is disingenuous of mccarthy, or lets think about the motion to vacate, lets think about, this do you really think a single republican if the script was flipped would have voted to not vacate nancy pelosi from the speakership . Of course they all would have voted to vacate. You think Kevin Mccarthy, this was the, point as you mention in the opening, he open an Impeachment Inquiry without he went to maralago and resurrected donald trump. I mean literally, he took the figuratively he took the paddles out of the ambulance, and brought him back to political life. So i think republicans today, republicans in the house are scratching their heads, saying how do we get here, but all they have to do is think back a few months and you can see it. Do you think the next week or whether well have to cut deals with the farright members in the same way . Will they have to agree to the same one person can vacate the chair . I think so. I think the only way that changes is if we go a month without a speaker. We have multiple races, eventually people are desperate to put a speaker in. This is where i think it will get interesting. You have folks that are willing to vacate the chair, you have folks willing to whatever the demand is, and they are all extreme demands. The question is, what does this do to ukraine aid . What i really worry about is those that move to vacate Kevin Mccarthy with have no idea where she came from on this, but they have all been talking about things like regular order. To the viewers, regular order means if you are a member of congress, you should be able to bring up a resolution, or an amendment in that you get voted on the regular way of the order of business. But these are the same people now saying, they do not want to come to the floor and vote on ukraine. That would put overwhelmingly and have to get their message straight. I worry that whoever runs for speakers would have to commit to no ukraine aid and of course, i have to tell, you i think hes going to be in the seat on, this and i can get into, that but i think it is important for five or ten members of the house, near refuse for anybody that wont bring ukraine to the floor for a vote. When they do that, and probably not. Why do you think jim jordan is in the seat. Because it is all about, i think if it was a secret ballot, he went overwhelmingly, for anybody but jim jordan, but what you are going to start seeing is on the emails of the fund raising of other cable news networks, jim is now going to be the new litmus test of are you a true conservative or not . Steve scalise, stormy it will be jim jordan. There will be a slow acquiescent everybody to jim jordan. That is my i certainly hope for the country becomes run. But how is shut it down kind of guy actually governs . Congressman kinzinger, thank, you appreciate, im much more on the bitterness of the cnns lauren fox has that. Good morning. In one of his first moves which was directed by mccarthy, temporary speaker mchenry ordered representatives and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi removed from their officers at the capitol. So mccarthy could move in. Pelosi writing in a statement, quote, office base does not matter to me. It seems to be important to them. A source close to pelosi says, the move was retaliation for democrats citing against mccarthy inside the speakers vote. Rather than being petty and silly, and throwing nancy pelosi out of her office, how does that contribute to civility appear . A House Of Representatives without a speaker, paralyzed. We cant get anything done, those can be brought with us, what we can to be on the house, what we can pass an eating into law. Lets just pray that there is not a National Emergency that we have to respond to, because this places in operable. And if the republican is turning inward to representative matt gaetz who led the charge to unseat the speaker. Yesterday, effectively somebody threw a grenade in the middle of the house floor. There was a meeting last night as you may know, of republicans, and that room would have devolved into a physical attack on whether people stayed in there for long period of time. Some republicans calling for the rebels to be punished. I dont see how they can be part of a conference when they stand on the inside listening to what is going on and it is a waste of time having conversations with these people. Mchenry will remain the speaker until a new election can take place, with a majority and representative jim jordan already vying for the position. I think for a conservative centerright, party i think im the guy and ate rule that allowed mccarthy to be removed in the first place, may not be going anywhere according to another member considering the speakership. Im not afraid. That is something the members wanted, that is fine. Lauren fox, cnn, capitol hill. You heard some of the frustration and outweigh anger towards my gate and republican Congressman Mullin took it to the next level this afternoon going after Congressman Gaetz for the allegations against him over Sex Trafficking which launched a federal investigation. Listen. You have to think about this guy, this is a guy who did not have the media did not give the time of day after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. There is a reason why no one in the Conference Game and defended him, because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away of the growth he had slept with. He bragged about how he would crush medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night. This is obviously before he got married. So when the accusation came, out nobody defended, him and no one and the media would give him the time of day. All of a sudden he found fame because it was the speaker of the house back in november, and he is always stay there. He was never going to leave until he got this last moment of fame by going after a motion to vacate. It is important to know that Congressman Gaetz has never been charged with any Sex Trafficking, crime and gave a c statement to cnn in response. I dont Think Markwayne on the house floor this is a lie from somebody who does not know me and who is coping with the death of the political career of his friend kevin. Thats an prayers. Im joined now by republican congressman who voted for mccarthy to retain these bigger ship. Congressman, good to have you on. Are you surprised by the personal nature of the attacks between members of the gop conference in the last 24 hours . Im not surprised. Tensions and members have been running pretty high for the last nine months. Anderson, you know, it with a small group of hardliners that are just making it impossible for us to run the house like it needs to be run. I would note just a tiny bit of amusement that one of the allegations that matt gaetz leveled as Speaker Mccarthy was, he had not passed 12 bills on the house floor yet. Part of the reason for that is that ease hardliners have been polling against bring in these Appropriation Bills to the floor. The spy, that kevin kathy managed to get 70 of Discretionary Spending through the house before the deadline, but for matt gaetz, all attention and chaos is what he sees. So some of her gop colleagues most recently who spoke with moneywatch a short time ago talked about expelling matt gaetz from the gop conference. Would you support that move . I am pretty frustrated still. I am angry. I try not to make decisions when im angry. I would counsel all my colleagues to just take a couple of deep breaths for the next couple of days. Before we make any decisions about accountability, before making decisions about who should be speaker of the house, lets make sure we are clear and focused on what can move the house in the right direction. Because anderson, if we do not the foundational problems of the oust republican conference, the new speaker is just going to be in the same old clown car, but a different driver. That will not get it done. So what are the foundational problems you see, obviously many of the things that mccarthy had to agree to in order to get the speaker job as mixed mcconnell pointed out made a job impossible. I thought it was a bit of an unfair allegation at the top of your show, nancy pelosi also had she agreed to a number of world changes. This is what happens. Nancy pelosi and Kevin Mccarthy will cut the deals the need to get to cut to get to 218, in some respects those rules made the husband or an others they made them harder to govern. Lets not blame other would tell you the motion to vacate is that is, you are saying it is insanity, if any member of congress can do a motion to vacate, doesnt that make Mitch Mcconnells point, doesnt it make it impossible . It does. We should change that rule. It seems like the most veasey thing ever to blame an arcane rule, when the problem is the makeup of the house. Yes, lets change the rule, but i will not change the rule. At some point it is garbage in, garbage out. If you do have numbers that do not want to work. If you have members that grave chaos, if you have members who have never actually figured out how to work with any other human being and to find Common Ground ever, it is going to be a mess. Regardless of the rules. Would you be comfortable voting for either of the two most prominent candidates . I know you said you wanted to take a breather, what do you make of the names that are out there . I think they are capable individuals, but we need to do a better job of putting them in a position to win, and mccarthy is as emotionally intelligent as anybody i have ever worked with. He listened as much as anybody i have ever served with. He really found and delivered some victories that many in the media and the house did not think he could deliver. The next speaker is not going to last any more than nine months if we did not take care of business. Congressman, i appreciate your, time thank you. Thank you. Coming up, next former president s watch on what to make of his game today that he will testify in his own defense, and later will happen today in court us made his first appearance as a defendant of in the case. We mentioned at the, top the former president was in court again for the Third Straight day in his new york Civil Fraud Trial when it was over he left for florida meaningful not least, as the new York Attorney general Letitia James put it, the trump show is over. The trial though goes on, and he did say he would testify if called upon. Cnn s has been following all, week was in court again today. So did the former president abide by the judges gag order . He did. The gag order only covers comments about the judges staff, but trump wasted no time and nor opportunity to lash out against the judge and new York Attorney general Letitia James, and for the first time this week she responded. Take a listen. The judge already knows what hes going to, do he is a she is a democrat judge out of the and is a sham. Im stuck here because i have a corrupt Attorney General that with the doj In Washington to keep you paid, back and you get sued by political ally. Mr. Trumps comments were offensive, baseless, they were void of any facts and any evidence. What they were, they were comments that unfortunately will lead to violence, comments that and comments on humanity. The judge himself even got frustrated on the bench by the crossexamination by one of trumps attorneys, and he slammed his hand down and said this is ridiculous. You are not allowed to waste time. Anderson . Now that the former president has left new york, not expected in the courtroom, or what is next in the trial . So their crossexamination, the longtime account will continue with his attorney, trumps attorney say that could go all day. But inside the courtroom, its a demeanor has changed dramatically. The temperature has come way down. The judge even wished one of the government attorneys a happy birthday, and the trumps attorneys even objected less to all of the questioning. So this will continue now as we get into the nittygritty of these financial, statements at the values of these properties. Anderson . All right, thank, you joining us now cnn legal analyst joey jackson and she is a Defense Attorney specialized in White Collar Crime and a columbia university. Obviously, there is the politics of all of this. Did the former president help himself or hurt himself in just legal turns . So legally, anderson, what it is about is what happens in the courtroom. This is a judge trial as we all, know you are not pandering to a jury, playing to a jury. Judges are generally well equipped in assessing what the factual issues, are and assessing what the legal issues are. Remember to put everything in perspective. You are talking about seven different, if it were indictment we would call accounts, but it is a civil case, right. We call them causes of action. The first cause of action relating to, fraud we all know where the judge stood relating to that. He issued what is called a summary judgment. A motion in favor of the Attorney General, indicating that there was persistent fraud here. So what is left to on the other counts relating to what . False Financial Statements, relating to falsifying business records. Exactly right. So i think the judge, he is a little concerned about what trump does outside of court, hence the gag order, my as it relates to the legal and factual, issues no matter what the feuding, as i think he will has his eye on the prize. Caroline, the a multiple times the lack of injury, but there is not usually a jury in this kind of trial. Well it is interesting the legal question, not to be too lawyerly like, but theres a difference between a remedy in law, and a remedy in equity. Because the statute, the cause of action that Laetitia James actually brought this case, under the one that the judge ruled on summary judgment. Because that is a unique statute that really has its real median equity, as a disgorgement, she is looking for being repaid for what the state of new york was defrauded from. Typically, there is some case law on point that would point to the fact that there may not be a jury in that type of case, however, i will, say that any competent lawyer would have had at least check the box as it were, put in that boilerplate language that we requested jury trial, this could have litigated the issue for sure. And im not sure they and the judge said that neither side asked for jury trial. That is significant, to the, point you could at least make the ask without getting into the niceties of equities, and what it is about. Ultimately, what happens in the civil trial, is theres two phases. One is to determine liability, as i noted the judge made that assessment. You have liability as fraud, talking about fantasyland and everything else. The judge will make assessments factually as to the issue of cooking the books as you mention, anderson, that is the Financial Statement fraud. The issues relating to falsifying business records, insurance, frauds but certainly if trump wanted a juror, trial that issue could have been litigated. It was not. As a result of, that you are stuck with this judge who is going to assess the facts, and only the facts. So help them. Caroline, what do you make of the case that prosecutors are presenting . There are shady dealings in new york, really, state and people pump values, and sort of have aspirational values . That certainly is going to be one of the arguments that trumps defense team makes on appeal. I think what is interesting about this case, the summary judgment, really it is half of the hole in this matter. The interesting part is that now, tish james will have to show intent to defraud, show that there is a victim in this case, whereas before on the other issue of pervasive fraud, it is really a strict liability there was this misrepresentation and persuasiveness reconcentration. The hurdle is a bit larger, now and for the state to move forward, and the criminal trial here were getting inside of ahead we saw today, they are really pounding away at the accounting, it was your fault theres a lot of Finger Pointing and terms of what was known pointing and saying it is your fault. So the point where anger was state hands on the, table saying he is not a codefendant, they are basically trying to Pin Everything on him. Appreciated, joey jackson as, well thank, you from its list of 400 richest americans, it is the second time in three yoshi has missed the cut. Cnn Senior Reporter harry enten joins us now. So how much money that the former president lose last year . An astounding 600 million. That my friend is a very rare thing given that most of the people on the forbes list, at least those in 2022 actually gained 226 of those gained. Trump is just one of 24 who dropped off the list. So 2023 might be a good year for a lot of, us it hasnt been a good year for donald trump at least in terms of his worth. What was the biggest financial loser . Truth social, that is the Social Media Platform people longs to. You will noticed he does not post on twitter or x anymore, because he poses so much of truth social. Its worth dropped from 700 million to less than 100 million, i guess part of that is because you and i are not on that particular platform. The fact is, there are many who, simply put, have decided not to take part in these true Social Media Platform. If the former president had invested in the s p 500 when he first land on the forbes 500 back in 1982, how would his fortunes have tracked . Would he have made be more successful . A lot more. I mean, this is something that is simple financial advice. Invest in the s p 500, it has gained about 10,000 since 1982. Donald trump has gained net worth, about 20 500 , but the fact is that his network would be significantly better if he had just taken the money he had in 1982, invested in the s p 500 look, donald trump is worth billions of dollars, but the fact of the matter is that it is not because he is a good investor, it is that he started off with a lot of money and basically was able to make money. The fact is, once you have money, it makes money, and donald trump its a good example of that. Harry enten, thanks a lot. Coming up, back to the fight inside the republican party, specifically over the issue of funding deeper into crane. Whats the fight means it looks like on the battlefield. We will have a report from the front lines, next. And, a cnn exclusive, the bidens top, commander, has been involved in more biting incidents than previously reported. Details ahead. Cmon, were right there. Cmon baby. Its the only we need. Go, go, go, go ah Touchdown Baby touchdown are your neighbors watching the same game . Yeah, my 5g Home Internet delays the game a bit. But you get used to it. Try these. Theyre noise cancelling earmuffs. I stole them from an airport. Its always something with you, man. Great solid greek salad . Exactly dont delay the game with verizon or tmobile 5g Home Internet. Catch it on the xfinity 10g network. The uncertainty over future or funding for ukraine, which began with the implosion of the House Republican majority, through today as we reported earlier in the upper, one of the leading publican candidates for House Speaker, ohios jim jordan, told cnn he is against it. What about ukraine . Are you willing to move forward with an aid package for ukraine if you are speaker . I am against that. What i understand is, at some point we will have to deal with this Appropriation Process in the right way. We will try to do that in the next 141 days 41 days. The most pressing issue on americans minds is not clean, it is the Border Security situation and crime on the street. Shortly after that exchange, the republican chairman of the house, Foreign Affairs Committee Told cnn there may be a window for a deal tied to Border Security. Ukraines president says the shortage of weapons is posing difficulties, Fred Pleitgen is on the front line with this exclusive report. The Artillery Troops need to move fast. Russian drones might be in the air. Flying up, calibrate, fire. Rockets, thats it. This larger would be more effective. Its not very precise, this soldier says. It depends on the weather and range. It would be good to have more precise rockets or guided ones. But the ukrainians are running short on even these unguarded sovietera rockets, and emma shortages are a problem across the battlefield, here in Eastern Ukraine. Soldiers from the 80th airborne assaults brigade have a quick snack, then get ready to fire their western donated missiles. The american 105 millimeter shells are valuable but increasingly scarce commodities. The ukrainians call this the Cypert Riffle of their artillery because it is so accurate, but also illustrates one of the big problems they have, which are plenty of battles to fire from, but not enough ammunition to fire. Battery commander tells me that the lack of shells means his forces are badly outgunned, here. It is hard to give precise numbers, he says, but i think they fired ten times for every round week fire, sometimes it is 1 to 100. The russians are constantly taking aim at this area, the ukrainians say they are making gains, pushing Vladimir Putins army back, even using Combat Helicopters close to the front lines. [sound of artillery] kyiv says it needs more ammo to sustain its offenses, both here in the east and in the south. The u. S. Budget impasse could mean further delays. On top of that, nato is warning its members are running dangerously low, themselves. We started to get away from half full or lower warehouses in europe. Therefore, the bottom of the barrel is now visible. For the ukrainian troops, that means rationing will continue, all while trying to continue their advancing soldiers on the ground. [sound of artillery] fred blinken joins us now from Eastern Ukraine. When you talked to troops in the field, are they following the political debate In Washington over aid . They are following pretty closely. I think a lot of the ones that we speak to on the front line, anderson, are pretty shocked at some of the things they are hearing out of washington simply because none of them could ever have fathom that the u. S. Would be the country whose support could be uncertain at any point in time. The support has been so strong and so important, also for ukraines war effort. I think one of the things that our viewers would be surprised by if you go around the battlefield here in Eastern Ukraine is how much u. S. Vehicles are on the ground here. U. S. Guns and u. S. Ammo as well. The thing about the mlas, the ukrainians really say that with this counteroffensive they need a lot of it. Certainly, nato countries could replace some of the emails that the u. S. Has been giving, but there is also certain kinds of ammo that only american can give, like, for example himars, guided missiles are very important. Also, some of those missile systems, that stuff is only punishable by the u. S. If u. S. Support went away, it would be catastrophic for them on the battlefield. They say they could continue to defend themselves, maybe, but personally would have very big problems making any sort of gains on the battlefield in the future, anderson. Fred pleitgen, appreciated.

More than 27 years after rapper Tupac Shakurs murder, a suspect arrested for gunning him down appeared in a Las Vegas Court for the first time. Duane keith davis is his name, accused of orchestrating the shooting and will be arraigned later this month. There are a lot of questions about the investigation, about what actually happened and why it took so long for the man to be arrested. He had not only said he was at the scene of the crime, but in the court with the shots that killed tupac shakur were fired. I am joined now by the clark County District attorney, whose office is Prosecuting Davis for his first interview since that arrest. Steve wolfson, appreciate you being with us. The arraignment was delayed today because the suspect had no Las Vegasbased attorney. How strong is the case, do you think . Well, thanks, anderson for having me on your show. I want to start off by saying that mr. Davis enjoys a presumption of innocence like any other person charged in this country with a crime. The arraignment was delayed because mr. Davis said he had retained a lawyer out of california and we cannot arraigned a person until they have a lawyer. In terms of the case itself, is there much you can share about why you believe tupac shakur was gunned down . Well, there has been a lot of talk in the media for the last number of years, and of course recently in the last few weeks. It started with a number of admissions that mr. Davis has made over the last few years. He participated in the documentary, he coauthored a book, he gave a number of youtube interviews. So, his admissions really peaked the investigation to look more closely into what was going on. It was brought to my attention. We then executed a Search Warrant at mr. Daviss home where we seized certain items of physical evidence. After all of those considerations, we wanted to make sure we got it right, anderson. This is an important case that is getting a lot of attention, so after we reviewed all of the evidence, we felt comfortable that we should bring this case to a grand jury, which obviously agreed when they returned, and indictment. So, even after all this time, 27 years, when you did a Search Warrant on his house, or is saying that there was evidence that you will use at trial, which implicates him . Yes, a number of physical items of evidence were seized at his house that will be used. We wanted to gather as much supporting evidence as we could. We didnt want to proceed just with his admissions. Certain witnesses came forward in the last couple of years, so we felt at this point when we put it all together, that we had a Strong Enough case to charge mr. Davis with murder with use of a Deadly Weapon with a gang announcement. Police have given some details. There was this beating that occurred, a fight that occurred, in a casino where tupac shakur were there to see eight mike tyson fight. We are showing the Surveillance Video of the beating that tupac shakur and sugar knight allegedly took part and. The person who was being kicked there on the floor, that is the nephew of the suspect you now have that a grand jury has and stated. I want to play with his nephew said in 1996 and an interview, the man who was beaten, there. Were you involved in any way in the death of tupac shakur . No, i was not involved. I am like a victim. I feel sorry for him. So, i believe he is no longer alive and mr. Davis is the only suspect or the only person who may have been involved who is still alive. But he was in the car with his uncle. His uncle was in the front seat when the shots were fired, correct . That is what the evidence shows . That is true. I dont remember exactly who was sitting where, but mr. Davis was in the car, as well as mr. Anderson. Just because one of the accomplices, 25 plus years ago, says he was not involved doesnt mean we stop investigating the case. We always continue to investigate the case, and like i said over the last few years in particular with mr. Daviss admissions, other witnesses coming forward, the gathering of a lot of items of evidence, brought us to a point where we felt comfortable charging him with the murder. Steve wolfson, i appreciate your time tonight, thank you. Thank you, sir. Coming up next, another exclusive report, this time on commander biden, the white house talk with a biting problem. Also more, on our top story, the outfall of Kevin Mccarthy ouster being felt in his Home District in california. Exclusive reporting on President Biden and first Lady Jill Bidens dog, commander, their two year old German Shepherd with age fighting problem. Kayla tausche is at the white house. What have you learned about the president s dog . Well, anderson, we are learning tonight that that dog, commander, has been involved in more biting incidents than previously reported. The u. S. Secret service had acknowledged 11 known incidents involving its personnel, but cnns betsy cline is now reporting that the tally is unknown and also includes incidents involving workers in the executive residents and other workers across the white house. It is unclear if there is a full tally, but we know from our reporting that the bites have ranged in severity from at least one requiring hospitalization, a handful requiring treatment from the white house medical unit, and still others on reported and untreated. Despite assertions that the dog would receive training, these incidents have kept happening with the last confirmed by taking place on monday. The bidens have said they are taking the situation seriously, a white house official confirms that they are and are consulting with vets, trainers, and other experts, and that commander is no longer on white house campus as the first family deals with this situation. So, he is do we know where he is . What is the white house saying about it . We dont know where he is, we just know that he is not on white house campus, currently. Communications director for the first lady confirms that information to cnn, and also says the following. She says, the president and first lady did care deeply about the safety of those who work at the white house and those who protect them every day. They remain grateful for the patience and support of the u. S. Secret service and all involved as they continue to work through solutions. Unclear what the final solution here, though, will be. Anderson . Kayla tausche, thanks so much. More tonight on todays story, the fallout from Kevin Mccarthy s losing his job as speaker of the house, specifically how it is playing back in his district of bakersville, california. Cnns kim ma talked with voters, there. At the pyrenees cafe, a historic stop in bakersfield, Kevin Mccarthys local supporters watch this historic moment In Washington unfold, starring district 20s favorite son, who is now the third shortest term speaker in american history. What does this mean for republicans, if this fighting continues . It will be our downfall. In mccarthys own district, agriculture and Oil Production dominate feet landscape. The Central Valley remains a red island in the blue sea of the states policy. Mccarthy is the embodiment of a National Success story of an overlooked region. The son of a firefighter, born and raised, who went to school here, fighting his way out and to the top. But always someone who came home. He always seems to have our best interests at heart. What do you think about this fighting amongst one party . I feel like it is a child that is kicking and screaming because he is not getting his way. And i think that kevin is doing the best job that he can. This process is especially agonizing in this room. Wow. Yeah, i was hoping. Kathy abernathy is one of mccarthys staunchest supporters back home. She hired him for his First Political job out of college, helped him when office after office and remains a family friend. He fought so hard to get that majority. That is what is the biggest problem with what they are doing. It is not just his leadership, which they can argue with, but his leadership and raising the funds, go into all these states, winning the seats that gave us this majority. There is a Silver Lining for mccarthy and his party, as Marc Raimondo says. Do you think you would ever vote for him again . Yes, he is winning me back over. Raimondo did not vote for mccarthy last year because of how he says Mccarthy Pouch To former President Donald Trump after the january 6th insurrection. Defiant, matt gaetz and the rest of the right flank shows moderate, says raimondo, that trumps grip maybe loosening on the party and on Kevin Mccarthy. He is like your alcoholic uncle, who is sober for a couple of weeks. You miss him a lot, wants to hang out with him but you are not exactly sure if you will stay the course. We hope he does. He stays off the bottle . Stays off the trump bottle, that would be great. There are approximately 14,000 federal workers who live here in mccarthys district. For them, they are watching this drama play out In Washington post, they actually need congress to fund this government. Those employees who work for the faa, the military bases, and those federal contractors need a speaker of the house because they need this government to function. Anderson . Kim, thanks so much. Coming up next, i will make you smile at the end of a long day, maybe the best video you will see, at least today, ahead
