all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. iowa republican senator charles grassley is as establishment as in the establishment republican can be. even a significant part of the republican landscape for as long as i ve been covering, politics for decades. first elected to the senate in 1980, grassley currently serving his seventh term, arguably the most powerful figure in iowa politics. when last we discussed senator grassley on the show just a few days ago, he issued a rather contentious rebuttal to the bombshell reports from the senate judiciary committee, which cracks in number of new revelations and confirmed detail about just how hard donald trump tried to effectuate a coup, and install himself empower against the will of the people. this weekend, grassley appeared at trump s rally in iowa. i have to say, why he said was incredible. utter honesty, something that could honestly be larry king in the dishonest trade of politics, senator grassley s
nothing but drama, we re on multiple days now with multiple candidates from this group. so i m not sure how lauren boebert on one hand can demand so much out of kevin mccarthy but then demand nothing out of someone else and be willing to vote for them as speaker. marjorie taylor greene saying the american people are sick of drama. has marjorie taylor greene met marjorie taylor greene? that s rich. three days, 11 rounds of slvoti and still no speaker. good morning, everyone. kaitlan is in washington d.c., again. and kevin mccarthy is suffering a historic defeat. hours from now, what will happy ahead of the chamber s 12th vote. they re hoping there s a glimmer of hope. there have been tense negotiations happening behind closed doors, questions whether or not a final proposal may be on the horizon. something that mccarthy and some of the party holdouts can agree on. we ll wait to see if the hard liners can. and also this morning what we are laerearning about the suspect of
