needed to be the speaker for a fourth consecutive time. florida republican byron donalds appear to have received just enough support to prevent kevin mccarthy from getting to 218. so what happens now? the house remaining paralyzed this hour. no committees, no legislation, elected members can t even be sworn in. they don t even know if they are getting paid at this point after they have tried and failed again four times to elect a speaker. it s a level of dysfunction unseen in modern political history. so let s bring in an incredible panel. senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake. yamiche alcindor is our washington correspondent. doug high is a republican strategist for the rnc. peter baker is chief white house correspondent for the new york times and an msnbc political analyst. steve kornacki is at the big board. garrett, tell us what s happening this second and what should we make of it? we re watching kevin mccarthy on his way going 0 for 4. byron donalds, the l
should we make of it? we re watching kevin mccarthy on his way going 0 for 4. byron donalds, the latest person to be the anti-mccarthy antecandidate of the moment is on his way to matching the vote totals of jim jordan yesterday when he was in that role. the fact that it s now donalds instead of jordan telling you a little something about the rebel s strategy here. it s not about the particular other person who they are voting for here. it s about communicating that they are not for kevin mccarthy under any circumstances. and they are sending that message here again today despite this renewed push from former, the figure head leader of the republican party, saying to vote for kevin mccarthy torks drop these challenges for the good of the party. and from that message being communicated throughout the ecosystem. it s been a message on fox news, in prime time last night throughout the day today. but the rebels are digging in. so we re going to see this fourth vote come to a conclusion i
leaders, al-baghdadi was surrounded by iraqis, so we are likely to see a splinter in isis, syrian isis, iraqi isis and isis in the saha region of africa. gillian: interesting, are we in a situation now where a new figure head leader has already been named and emerged and they re just carrying on or is there kind of this isis organization go through a leader list moment? who vouches for the new leader, that s one of the biggest thing al-qaeda had, one osama bid laden, we saw hamza bin laden, they ll but lot of competition, no one to bless the next isis leader, we are likely to see a splint near the group, new leaders and competition,
brian: talk about your op-ed today. we had op-ed yesterday on up on foxnews.com. brian: that bannon is leading the charge on. that s right. steve bannon is kind of the figure head leader of this antiestablishment movement that s going on. i believe there s a lot of candidates that are out there that need to be supported. and my position is that if they get tax reform done, the temperature combings down on these primaries a lot. that s the problem with people in america right now is they re frustrated with washington. washington has done nothing. they have promised, promised, promised and delivered very little. and the president s agenda is stalled in congress. not in the white house. but in congress. and that s why these senators are feeling the pressure. they are feeling pressure from challengers because they have been ineffective. and i think if they get tax
demonstrators and probably we ll see the result tomorrow. wolf? i got an e-mail, ben, from a friend in egypt who basically said what mubarak did was give himself the powers of being, let s say, like the queen of england, the figure head leader, the head of state, but with no real power to conduct the operation of the government. is that your understanding of what mubarak has done? reporter: perhaps, yes. he s reigning but not ruling. the worry is that suleiman is mubarak s man. he rose through the ranks. he became his right-hand man dealing with dealings with the united states, with israel, with hamas, with the palestinian authority, with other powers in the region. there s no daylight between the
