Well tell you what theyre doing to settle the score. We start in washington where a chaotic new chapter in the history of the House Of Representatives has begun, and just when it seems things couldnt get any uglier, they have. Republican supporters of Kevin Mccarthy Furious Over Democrats unwillingness to protect them and protect the speaker from conservatives are now exacting revenge. Over the past 24 hours, two democratic leaders, nancy pelosi and steny hoyer have been told to vacate their offices inside the capitol.

After the outspoken leader of his republican opponent, matt gaetz, officially filed his motion to oust the party speaker, for partners with democrats to keep the government open. Why not .

Let republicans deal with their own problems. They can let them wallow in the pigsty of incompetence. We will talk to two House Republicans all coming up. Here in new york, former President Donald Trump is back in the manhattan courtroom today in that civil fraud trial against him and his adult sons and the Trump Organization.

So im very proud of this speaker. Im very proud to stand behind him. Tomorrow morning, whether i win or lose, im going to be pretty proud of the people i fought with, and im going to be extraordinarily proud of the person i fought for, the speaker of the house, Kevin Mccarthy. [ applause ] with that i reserve the balance of my time. Gentleman from oklahomas time is reserved. Gentleman from florida. Mr. Speaker, my friend from oklahoma says my colleagues and i who dont support Kevin Mccarthy would plung
