we are together. they ve sat there, they have laughed and they have chuckled and pointed fingers at us. you know what? as my friend from florida just said, we re together. neil: well, not quite all together right now. the 20 that are resisting kevin mccarthy remain about that now. we re about the halfway point of a ninth vote to see who will lead the house of representatives. looks like for the ninth time in a row, kevin mccarthy is going to have to suit up for number 10. that is if we get to a number 10. under others there, you can see 11 votes for someone other than kevin mccarthy. keep in mind the republican leader can shed no more than four of his republican colleagues. in this vote, as in the prior eight, he has failed to do so. chad pergram has the latest from capitol hill. chad? neil, this is the longest speaker election since 1923. the house is now taking the ninth vote for speaker. it must go to a tenth. the goal was for kevin mccarthy to move the dial today. p

i m not a member of congress right now. i can t get classified briefings. i can t do may job. i can t fix the border. i can t tell you what s going on with the cartels and introduce legislation to combat the mexican drug cartels that are coming with tens of thousands of people a year with fentanyl. we don t that because 20 people tonight like kevin mccarthy and think he s mean or think he lied to them once. they can t articulate what they want from him at this point. this is an extreme disservice to the american people. neil: is it possible, sir, that kevin mccarthy botched it? that he s supposed to watch the numbers in the count. you re right. he had 90% of the caucus going for him. as you know, you need 218 votes. just like when you run for president, you need 270 electoral votes. you don t win if you have 90% of that. maybe he s counting his chickening before they hatched and this is on him?
