and to you. if mccarthy did prevail he d be a weak speaker who may be in office but barely in power. he had weeks to get the majority together, either he had accurately counted the votes or has no control over his conference. your thought about that point were he to eke something out. that is. and why it s at a price others don t want and why republican after republican speaker has left, you know, not wanting the position anymore. by the time john boehner left to your point in 2015 he sort of said to heck with this and ryan was the same way saying if anybody wants this job, take it and ryan didn t want it when he first took it as well. he sort of was coerced into it in similar circumstances. so i think republicans more than anyone know how difficult this caucus is to govern not to say impossible and that whoever has
want to do. he s going to prove himself to be the political animal. let s assume the nine skeptic who wrote the letter, chip roy, et cetera, that they come around. that s certainly possible. they re just skeptical of kevin. but these five he can only afford to lose four of them. who is going to buckle of these five? i just don t know. they re all out there, they have nothing to lose, it seems to me. i mean, other than the republican party. i actually think that he wins it eventually, but for these five folks, they kind of have to i think they kind of have to push this to a second ballot and really try to at least embarrass him. because after that, i mean, they re out there, they re all out there. they re kind of all in on pushing this. and, again, maga wins here. trump has endorsed kevin

laura: bingo. ryan didn t just sellout his constituents on high energy prices but sent their jobs overseas. tim ryan, explain why the guy had his congressional district lose tens of thousands of jobs to china. laura: tim ryan needed to pull off at that point. that wasn t the most effective take down. there are were more. tim ryan thought he had vance over the ropes over one issue: abortion. after claiming that vance would not support abortion in the rape of a young girl, which is a lie. he refused to explain the
over that arbery was to blame for his own death. he was a recurring, nighttime intruder. and that is frightening and unsettling. reporter: and william bryan s attorney, kevin goff, arguing there wouldn t even be a trial were it not for his client, his cell phone, and the video he took. bryan didn t shoot anyone. at the time of the shooting, he was some distance back. he was armed only with his cell phone. reporter: outside the courthouse, the number of protesters swelling with the presence of the new black panthers, including some members who were armed. something that drew the defense of defense lawyers on lunch break. and it was the presence of those armed protesters that had defense attorney kevin goff once again rising in court, filing a motion for a mistrial. and again, the judge said no. the judge had hoped that the
