insurrectionists across the capitol while being called the most violent, racist names. i am jonathan capehart. this is the sunday show. this sunday, after four days and 15 rounds of voting, kevin mccarthy is finally speaker of the house. but, what comes next for the new speaker depends on what he had to give away to win the gavel. it was chaos and drama friday when mccarthy thought he had the vote in the bag on the 14th round, only to be thwarted by congressman matt gaetz, a never kevin who voted present instead of four mccarthy, which is strange, because gaetz had already crowed that mccarthy had already agreed to every concession that gaetz had asked for. i am excited and encouraged, i am grateful that speaker doesn t give mccarthy receptive to each and every change we have demanded. and shawn, without the stage right now where i am running out of stuff to ask for. stuff like allowing one member to call for the removal of the speaker and giving seats on the rules comm
some of the framework that he agreed to with this group of 20 hard-line defectors. you know, who ultimately got him to agree to some of these concessions. as you noted. coming to the floor for a house vote on term limits. lowering the threshold for the motion to vacate, to one person. that means you only take one person to potentially call for an ousting a speaker mccarthy. anytime they don t like his. votes that s gonna make it harder for him to make the debt limit, raise spending. raise taxes. and then there is also going to be more of these members out of this 20 that are going to be on the house rules committee. who are going to dictate the rules and police them. and the world, committee that is the committee that determines how and when and why bills get to the forum for a vote. i want to bring up one other. thank you reported that congressman mike rogers, anchor
doesn t give mccarthy receptive to each and every change we have demanded. and shawn, without the stage right now where i am running out of stuff to ask for. stuff like allowing one member to call for the removal of the speaker and giving seats on the rules committee to superconservative s from the freedom caucus. lord only knows what more mccarthy gave away, because in the wee hours of yesterday morning, kevin mccarthy became speaker mccarthy. now, the hard part begins. the chaos and drama of last week could be replayed this week, as the house will have its say of mccarthy s concessions, when members vote on the rules package which will govern house operations, and is no guarantee it will pass. so buckle up, america. mccarthy is one of the weakest speakers in modern history who live in fear of his caucus, and that is terrifying. as the governing in policy implications of mccarthy and the nation will face are
charlie, and then chairman seal, but we will see the same chaos tomorrow that we have seen all last week? well, we will see a lot of chaos. it might fail on the first few votes, eventually they will get something done. that s why this is a bigger crisis than just kevin mccarthy for the republican party. because as chairman steele said, now the question is, as kevin mccarthy made so many concessions, congress will be unable, incapable of fulfilling its basic functions keeping the government open funding major government programs including the military, paying the bills and avoiding an absolutely economic catastrophic default on the debt. and you look at the kind of concessions he has made, putting the bomb throwers on the rules committee, the motion to vacate. it is extremely difficult to see a kevin mccarthy couldn t negotiate anything, because the man has self-gelded his
along the freedom caucus members to be on the rules committee, and have people say, over budget issues and things? that is huge, all of it is huge. the biggest one for me is giving them, basically making the promise, that they are not going to be as gung-ho to deal with the debt crisis looming ahead of us. that s going to be the real big first test i think for kevin mccarthy, as speaker, is how he negotiates with the administration, how he navigates s caucus, with whose members have basically said to him, we are okay with the country going into get, we will just blame joe biden. that s not going to fly, you said you are okay with going into debt, that was part of the steel deal of making him speaker. you are okay with blowing up
