numbers. we ll speak with the bishop about that. the new take on the color purple comes out on christmas. what is it that resumes with so many people? we re going to discuss next. we promise we ll get to the color purple. we ll dive deep. but first the iowa caucuses about are three weeks away and republican front-runner donald trump got a win, at least for now, as he battles legal troubles on the campaign trial. on friday there was a denial of jack smith s request to fast-track the former president s immunity case. trump is also waiting for his colorado ballot case to full ya played out. his team appeals to boot him based on 14th amendment rules regarding insurrectionists. we bring in joey jackson. frank question, you tell me, what are the odds trump s name appears on a ballot in colorado in 2024. i do think, danny, there could be many odds in favor of trump, but i think we can t look at this from a political perspective. i guess it has to be because it s an e
and good evening, along with jake tapper in washington, d.c. we are watching the house of representatives longest running drama since the civil war era. republicans failing time and time again, 11 times so far to elect kevin mccarthy speaker. 11 times. the latest vote, not only on that, merely on whether to adjourn and end kevin mccarthy s rolling humiliation for this evening. manu raju has new reporting on the state of play tonight. he joins us from the capitol. m manu, if they adjourn for the evening, what happens then? then the negotiations will continue. actually, the motion to adjourn is a good sign for kevin mccarthy, who has had one bad result after another. 11 straight times being rejected, not being able to get a majority of the house to elect a speaker, paralyzing this institution, the start of the 118th congress. that is the first order of business. if they can t elect a speaker, then they can adjourn. that s really the only two options. but the majority of
kevin mccarthy allies, and maybe some people who are not strong allies, but people who have been voting for them. and i call it concession regret, which is something the congresswoman just told you, jake, she doesn t know what s being promised away in that room. and there is real concern. we have seen historic dysfunction, at least in the modern era. and there is real concern that the promises that kevin is making to try to get in enough votes to get it down to 4 are going to lead to a disaster down the road. a frank question. because you re a former health correspondent, as am i, as are you. what do you think the odds are that i know more about the discharge petition situation about what this next congress is going to look like than more than a element of these republican and house members? i don t think a lot of these
i was not a cheerleader either times that he ran for president, but i admired he tried to shame the republican party for being so craftily political when it comes to putin. he said we are taking a country that is small and doesn t innovatate and cites nothing and turn them into a super power by being divided among ourselves. that criticism is there and should be levelled at republicans who are cowering when being asked a frank question. should russians have the ability to meddle in our elections? you can believe donald trump would be president anyway and say but i will never let the russians interfere with our political system. i thought his comments about politics, this is something i heard privately from white house aides have been the losses his parties have suffered on his watch. what he called the inability and the limits of the
world. we ll have to see what happens, and we ll be playing close attention to what happens in asia tonight. we ll be watching tonight, with you through the rest of the week, cristina alesci, thank you so much. i m going to say good-bye early, because my colleague john berman is live at the new york stock exchange, with the lead, which starts right now. \s all right. i m john berman on the floor of the new york stock exchange. people have not been want watching this space this closely since 2008. that, my friends is not a good thing. people here on this floor, people asking a frank question what the hell just happened? because this morning, when the storm opened, it fell 1,000 points in less than ten minutes. right now we re about three minutes away from the closing bell and the market is down about 486 points. what will happen in the next two minutes? we simply do not know.
