hah keep jeffries. cleaver? jeffries. cline? kevin mccarthy. cloud? jim jordan. clyburn? jeffries. clyde? biggs. cohen? hakeem jeffries. cole? mccarthy. collins? as we listen to the roll being called by my count, five republicans have voted against mccarthy for speaker. two voted for jim jordan, one included boebert. and two for andy biggs. garrett haake, by my count that s five and he could only lose four. on this first role call, he said he will keep this going vote after vote until they get worn down or something breaks. is that your take? we never call votes until they are over, but in this case, i now count six, one more since we came on the air. clyde voting for andy biggs, one of the leaders of this rebel group. six republicans so far voting against kevin mccarthy. if the math holds through the remainder of the alphabet, as we have every reason to expect it will, with all democrats voing for hakeem jeffries, we do appear to be in a s
republican tried to ambush and hand fraudulent electors to mike pence on january 6th. those stories and reports are coming up. but after a hearing like today s we begin with something more fundamental than a legal breakdown, and more powerful, perhaps, than meticulously going through the evidence, though that also matters. right now we begin with this. what millions of americans saw and heard today from the top republican leader out of arizona in plain, serious, and stern testimony about the choices officials have to make, the tests that trump posed, tests that, by the way, many republicans have fail bid cowering to a would be autocrat by minimizing threats of violence and coups, by only speak out late, if at all. some have walked back from some of those public humiliations. others just live in them. but today s testimony by this republican here offers a view of what it looks like to stand up. i said, look, you are asking me to do something that is counter to my oath that i
