that mccarthy gave to deal with the budget issues and budget reforms going forward, something that she said will be enough for her to vote for this package. the question will be what will happen next. in talking to some members of the republican conference they re willing to vote for this bill because it includes a slue of spending cuts but they re concerned about future comp compromises. i would like for it to be more conservative than it is right now. i think it s a happy compromise with our conference. i want it double what was in there. i agreed to vote for it because this starts the ball, gets us in the arena to solve the debt problem. now, i m not interested in anything coming back, anything but what we voted on. just said this cannot take up anything from the senate. we freeze until they get back with us on what we agreed to. reporter: now, this vote if it does happen this afternoon is expected to be very, very close. we do expect at least one
better it looked for investors who hope republicans get their act together, do something about that and in this case gridlock within their little group wasn t a good thing? look, the big story i ve been listening to your interviews. the big story here is that conservatives won. it looks like kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker. the conservatives held out for more budget reforms. as you heard the congressman talking about, we have to get back to a balanced budget. i believe and i think that conservatives that revolted against mccarthy at least temporarily are saying we can t have business as usual on capitol hill. this isn t working. they have succeeded, neil. there s new measures in the new agreement that are going to make it easier for republicans to move forward with a balanced budget plan in seven or eight years because let s face it, neil, we can t go on as a nation
