chris, extraordinary things that we are watching a realtime, the disrobing of the house minority leader, the man who would be speaker, essentially crawling politically naked into what he thought was gonna be s finest hour. watruly an apt metaphor, and uncharted territory. and one of those things, election is run like this, you don t know what the outcome is you simply don t know what will happen next. it s not often that you get that that midnight aca but where john mccain vote where you give the down some. but they are few and far between for instance, joy, and thank you for passing this off, i appreciate it. for those, joining if you re looking at what that is, that s a motion to adjourn. kevin mccarthy the would-be speaker has lost 11 consecutive votes he set a new contemporary record, we re now back into the 1830s, which is the last of 11 votes happen, 1850s or is like
133. he s lost 11 votes, now there s a motion to adjourn, to take some time off from the, losing to do some more talk about this, colleagues to work in a deal so you won t keep losing. he s been losing by basically the same margins over and over. he can t afford to lose, for and he s been losing 20 over and over. one of the allies has made a motion to adjourn, as was the case 24 hours ago. if you watch innocent, thinking i feel like i was just here. i feel, you i do as well, because this is where we were 24 hours ago. we right now, the yeas appear to have, it i don t know but those not voting will be, so it depends on whether 5 to 17 says

No sooner had lawmakers reconvened to vote for the seventh time for speaker of the House than Republicans put forward another motion to adjourn to keep negotiating with the conservative hard-liners keeping Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from winning the gavel.
border. crying out loud, sean, we asked for a balanced budget. imagine a congress that doesn t spend money we don t. have we will get this right with the right speaker, sean. sean: if you only have 30. 30 would be a beautiful number to reach. sean: telling kevin mccarthy and the 203 people that support him to withdraw because they don t have 218. that is what you re saying. it s obvious by tonight s motion to adjourn. kevin mccarthy and his supporters have voter fatigue. i m here for it. sean: i asked you a simple question. i feel i m getting an answer from a liberal. i m not going to support sketch mccarthy. if i m the last person standing, which i don t believe i will be i will not sean: i feel we made progress. i love president trump. you won t pit him against me. i love you. sean: that s what you said to
