the media kept touting each ballot as a crushing defeat for ken mccash think kevin mccarthy, although he was winning 95% of house republicans. that was especially true late friday night when after flipping most of his opponents to his side, mccarthy lost by one vote. you could see he was stunned as he walks away there, and one ally, mike rogers, made a beeline for matt gaetz who had taken a half step by voting present. not until the early morning our hours yesterday did mccarthy win. some of the talking heads predicted mccarthy would drop out. i suspect that when they come back after dinner that mccarthy is going to end up withdrawing. oh, i think his goose is very much cooked. i don t think we re going to see a speaker kevin mccarthy. howard: only in the final late night drama did journalists say, hey, shocker, mccarthy, who we all branded the biggest loser, might actually win this thing. of i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, my exclusive int

elected. a speaker has not been elected. yes, the circus is still in town and the group of 20 serial insurrectionists opposing kevin mccarthy, they are right about one thing, this man has no business being speaker of the house. if he can t navigate his way around the basic vote to get the job he s not remotely capable of leading especially a radical caucus filled with this iteration of republicans. and we do begin tonight with the never ending republican fight over the next hour the never ending republican fight for speaker. over the next hour kevin mccarthy should be wise to learn this one lesson because he s going to be facing this hell over the next hour. any tolerance of insurrection breeds more. in the next hour as i mention the house will return to try to get done what they could not do earlier on this ground-hog day of voting. but beyond showing in realtime kevin s inability to do the job this dumpster fire is making it clear the republicans keeping republicans par
