the world. it s not one of those positiono you give tgiveo elderly men who have campaigned from the b their basement. if you wantent. to be the guy in ls second in line from the presidency in america, you ve got to work for it. to work and kevin mccarthy ca has worked for it this week.t whatever you think othinf, theyt the feeling mccarthy would crawl naked through a sewer to get this gig. et thi s and that s not necessarily an insult, by the way. it s what it takes, obviously. maybe it s what it should take. so if you take a deep breath and you think about it foringtor a second, nothing we have seen in washington recently the supposedly apocalyptic world ending drama of politicians arguing with each. s none of it qualifies as especially unusual or even bad. this is what democracy lookst up like when you get up close. i want one thing.ote to s you want another thing. we schedule a vote to seecase who gets it, or in this case, eleven votes, but whatever . bu how is
but he s not going to do the deal, not on this roll call. maybe not today. chris jansing, my colleague is going to take over this roll call. watch with steve kornacki. this has been an extraordinary day already. we have another flip here. we knew it was going to be historic. steve kornacki, what did we just seethe? i want to go back to steve. what are we looking at? mary miller from illinois, another one of the holdouts, she also flipping over and voting for mccarthy. that means there have been 13 folk who is have voted against mccarthy previously and now 7 of those 13 have flipped over. so he s actually of the votes cast by previous mccarthy opponents in this roll majority over. he s gotten more than half of them. 7 of the 13 have flipped over. paul gosar will vote at the end. he has seemed pretty dug in, but we ll see what happens there. the next name to come on the list is ralph norman. we re about 15 names away from him. very rapid fire after that. scott perry, chair
pete: i think it is the buildings, will. i don t think so. i think latitude. i think we re further north so we get fewer, i think it comes up pete: talking earth tilt here? will: i m totally over my skis. rachel: we have to bring rick in. pete: rick would know. we bring confirmation, is the earth tilt, no way florida get as sunrise before new york. will: i lived in texas obviously. lived up here, worked in connecticut, just an hour or two north of here. in the summer, your days in connecticut are way longer than the summer days in texas. in the winter they re way shorter than the winter days in texas. there is something to being higher in latitude. you get longer days in the summer and shorter light days in the winter. pete: latitude is north/south. longitude is east/west. i did know that. we ll find out from rick later on. will: that was some of the largest guesswork i ve done on television. pete: i thought you were out on your skis but your explanation. rachel: he pu
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
