hah keep jeffries. cleaver? jeffries. cline? kevin mccarthy. cloud? jim jordan. clyburn? jeffries. clyde? biggs. cohen? hakeem jeffries. cole? mccarthy. collins? as we listen to the roll being called by my count, five republicans have voted against mccarthy for speaker. two voted for jim jordan, one included boebert. and two for andy biggs. garrett haake, by my count that s five and he could only lose four. on this first role call, he said he will keep this going vote after vote until they get worn down or something breaks. is that your take? we never call votes until they are over, but in this case, i now count six, one more since we came on the air. clyde voting for andy biggs, one of the leaders of this rebel group. six republicans so far voting against kevin mccarthy. if the math holds through the remainder of the alphabet, as we have every reason to expect it will, with all democrats voing for hakeem jeffries, we do appear to be in a s
In adolf hitlers manifesto he wrote, all the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out as a result of contamination of the blood. He links the poison which has invaded the National Blood to, quote, an influx of foreign blood. The Blood Reference is reminiscent of the chants by White Supremacists in charlottesville in 2017. Tonight, donald trump is now under fire for similar language about immigrants. Good evening. Im abby phillip. Here what is the former president and current republican frontrunner just said about immigrants. We know theyre terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like were witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. Its poisoning the blood of our country. Its so bad. And people are coming in with disease, people are coming in with every possible thing that you could have. We dont know what really inspired trump to use that language or what was even in his head, but this episode comes as trumps rhet

House. This is picture for that meeting. And for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. Truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. Yet another record today after Donald Trumps win. Michelle kosinski is outfront at the white house. Michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and President Elect at the white house. Maybe even not the two people at the meeting. And tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior.
