of his teeth. and coming back to vote again because there has not yet been a speaker of the house elected. and it s all right now seemingly about buying time for more negotiations behind closed doors. so the fact the motion to adjourn even passed, well, that s a little bit of good news for kevin mccarthy. he did speak to manu raju just a little while ago saying he still believes that he will become the next speaker of the house, but he wouldn t commit to when that would actually take place or even getting it wrapped up by tomorrow. wrap it up tomorrow? no, no, i m not putting any time line on it. i think we ve got members talking. i think we ve got a little movement so we ll see. we ll have more from manu raju in just a moment. kevin mccarthy has suffered what many are calling five humiliating defeats. well, that was just today, and you can add that to what s happened in the past over the past several days. his own party has told him, nope. that comes of course from con
boys group are now charged with seditious conspiracy. we are learning a capitol police officer who was injured in an altercation with that group will be one of the first people to testify thursday during the january 6th committee s primetime public hearing. also this morning, fast-moving developments on the efforts to get some form of gun legislation passed on capitol hill and what by all accounts is a critical week. details on what could be included in a bipartisan teal and what is likely going to be left out. and will they take action this time? we ll see. those negotiations are happening, though. as we hear heartbreaking new details about what happened inside robb elementary school. frightening details frankly. it s two weeks ago today. this is an interview you re about to hear with abc news of a fourth grade teacher who says initially he who says he initially told his students to pretend they were asleep when all of this began shortly after he came face-to-face wi
of kevin mccarthy. instead of doing an in-person meeting they re doing a phone call tomorrow instead. they re hoping it goes off better. well, manu, one can swear on the phone as well as you can do in person. they can also mute when people respond. we re in the covid zoom call generation at this point. the ability to have the anonymity and distance to really speak one s mind it might even be a worse scenario. to be a fly on that wall or have that zoom meeting i.d., who knows. thank you so much, manu. i want to bring in congressman-elect because without a speaker no one can be technically sworn in. congressman-elect ryan zincy a montana republican. i m glad you re here, congressman. but what do you make of what s happening right now? i mean i m calling you congressman-elect. we re days after the time you should be called congressman, days after perhaps committee assignments ought to be handed out, security clearances
