emma like am i free? can i watch you guys? now, i know. all right. burning the midnight oil, chris a s. i ghlove to see, my friend, i have a good night. you do. thank d you for joining me this evening. it took nearly a month to get it, but we finally have it, the d.c. circuit court of appeals has ruled on presidential immunity, donald trump s last best attempt to evade a criminal trial for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. it is unanimous ruling, rimmed i by all three federal appeals court judges overseeing this case, to biden appointees and one appointee of president george h. w. bush. those judges spell it out and no uncertain terms. donald trump s claim that a former president cannot be duly prosecuted is worthless. quoting from the ruling, it would be a striking paradox if the president, alone, is vested with the constitutional duty to take care of the laws he faithfully executed, where the e sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity.
chris, extraordinary things that we are watching a realtime, the disrobing of the house minority leader, the man who would be speaker, essentially crawling politically naked into what he thought was gonna be s finest hour. watruly an apt metaphor, and uncharted territory. and one of those things, election is run like this, you don t know what the outcome is you simply don t know what will happen next. it s not often that you get that that midnight aca but where john mccain vote where you give the down some. but they are few and far between for instance, joy, and thank you for passing this off, i appreciate it. for those, joining if you re looking at what that is, that s a motion to adjourn. kevin mccarthy the would-be speaker has lost 11 consecutive votes he set a new contemporary record, we re now back into the 1830s, which is the last of 11 votes happen, 1850s or is like 133. he s lost 11 votes, now there s a motion to adjourn, to take some time off from the, losing to do s
you are telling me, you dream that true. i did. it wasn t as close my dream. some very bad liberating takes us on the air tonight. and tomorrow at noon, when they resume, let s hope some serious business gets done. on that, note i wish you a very good night, well of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, i ll see you at the end of tomorrow. end of tomorrow. he set a new contemporary record, we re now back into the 1830s collapsed. of 11 votes happen, 1850s or is like 133. he s lost 11 votes, now there s a motion to adjourn, to take some time off from the, losing to do some more talk about this, colleagues to work in a deal so you won t keep losing. he s been losing by basically the same margins over and over. he can t afford to lose, for and he s been losing 20 over and over. one of the allies has made a motion to adjourn, as was the case 24 hours ago. if you watch innocent, thinking i feel like i was just here. i feel, you i do as well, because this is where
the country to have repeated but impeachment problems. and joining me now to discuss this is the host of who s talking to chris wallace, chris wallace himself. this is, chris, a real problem, i think, for republicans as they go into the next few weeks. do they have even the support of republicans to do something like this? what do you think is behind mccarthy opening the store in the way that he has this week? well, there s certainly a lot of support among the right-wing, the freedom caucus, a number of the real hard-liners. but when you get somebody like can buck, who s pretty darn conservative, a republican in the house say this is just a distraction, this is a bright shiny object from all the problems that republicans have, and then you see the total disinterest on the part of republicans in the senate, i mean, you know, the basic question you ve got to ask
this list was on this list last night at this time. so nobody moved, over nobody moved to present today. so again, you look at some of the comments of this these folks have made. my colleague bob good from virginia was quoted as saying, you don t ever have for me to question again, i m never on kevin mccarthy. so for say that, and everybody else on this list voted for mccarthy, mccarthy is the speaker. it five take that position, then doesn t matter how many of us on this let s vote for mccarthy, he won t have the votes, as long as, i ll 212 democrats continue a showing up, and be voting for hakeem jeffries. we lost can buck, from, colorado he said there is a pre-nonemergency mess medical procedure. so there s one less vote in that camp. i want you to stick around, steve, that s very useful. let me go back to, you ali vitali, this is, i guess let s start here. to his, point and the fact that you the three of us having this conversation 24 hours ago. i think if he asked me to wager, w
