things that could be promised. maybe they say, you know, we re not going to impeach mayorkas. maybe they say we won t do biden investigations. some people throwing out names like liz cheney and fred upton as potential speaker of the houses as unity candidates. i would remind everybody at home, you don t have to be a sitting member of the house of representatives to be the speaker. the interesting part in any state legislator, this has happened before. there s been tight majorities. when the majority party doesn t come together as one, there s no telling what can happen. in those situations, you know, not able to govern well. you re making concessions to the democrats. in the essence, the democrats would win on that we don t want that to happen. the american people have just spoken. they want a border that is secure a economy that is the strong and lower gas prices and become energy independent. they want to make sure parents have a bill of rights and hold their government accountable
you think is going to happen here, do you think he s going to come up with the votes if. it s interesting because here s the state of the negotiation as best we can tell, andy biggs who ran for the speakership and got 31 votes against kevin mccarthy says he s hard no matter what. matt gaetz says the same thing. hard no votes for kevin mccarthy no matter what, there would need to be another candidate to come in, my guess however there s going to be this negotiation that goes on, a potential speaker has a lot of goodies to give away as far as seniority on different committees, standing on various special committees that are created, leadership roles, federal money that goes to special projects back in their districts. a long way between now and january 3rd. i wouldn t be surprised if mccarthy finds a way to hold this together. and sources have told me that
you re going to work with kevin mccarthy as potential speaker. stay with us. yes, i need a trim. i just want to be able to cut the damage. we tried dove instead. so, still need t that trim? oh my gosh! i am actually shocked i don t t need a haircut. don t trim daily damage. stop it with dove. becacause i trust their quality. they were the first to be verified by usp. .an independent organization that sets stct quality and purity standards. nature made. that the number oneity pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplent brand.
i mean, jake, kevin mccarthy has said that he is willing to detonate the american economy, default on our nation s debt in order to try to strip away social security and medicare tens of millions of americans. it s incredibly reckless. it s at the top of his agenda. it sound like you want pelosi to work to raise the debt limit now so mccarthy can t do that, though, right? we re going to have a conversation as democrats about the best approach, and we have to find common ground with not just 50 democrats in the senate but an additional ten republicans in order to make some kind of change to the debt ceiling, but it appears to me that that is the right thing to do to try to prevent kevin mccarthy from being able to hold the american economy hostage. congressman, stay right there. i have more questions for you. we re going to ask about how you re going to work with kevin mccarthy as potential speaker. stay with us. new way of manufac.
majority, far narrower than what kevin mccarthy wanted. his team hoped going into election day they could get 20 or more seats that would give them some flexibility, some room to lose some vote, not just on legislating but also getting the votes in the full house in order to become speaker. remember, next week is the beginning of the possess. republicans will go behind closed doors and will nominate their choice to become speaker. he only needs a majority of support within his conference to do that. the big vote comes in january. that s when 218 votes will be needed in the full house for him to get elected speaker and if there is a narrow republican majority, say 220 seats or 225 seats question only afford to lose a handful of defections otherwise it gets complicated, behind the scenes a number of the freedom caucus are pushing for a number of different issues including giving more leverage over a potential speaker in the new congress as well as giving them more time to review legislat
