hi there, everyone, here we go again. it s 4:00 in new york. at this hour, the house of representatives is completely and totally paralyzed. it is unable and incapable of swearing in members, forming committees, setting rules for itself, passing legislation even in the case of an emergency, couldn t do any of those things. it s a state of chaos and paralysis that is unprecedent ed in modern american history and it is all because the new republican house majority cannot agree on who should lead it in the 118th congress. house gop leader kevin mccarthy has moved into the speaker s office already, appears to be living by the motto, if at first you don t succeed try, try, try, try, try, try again. he has now lost five votes for the speakership, a sixth vote is underway. it s already clear from the math that mccarthy doesn t have the votes to become speaker of the house of representatives this time either. democrats for their part quietly made history yesterday by choosing the fir

thank you so much for being with us on this busy day of news. the beat with ari melber starts right now. thank you so much. welcome to the beat. we are tracking this breaking news as republicans suffer the first open speaker revolt in a century. kevin mccarthy started the new congress a humiliating failure. he lost the vote for speaker today. lost 19 republicans on the first ballot. it s the first time any politician in any party lost a hope floor vote for speaker since 1923. it s rare because of course this is a job where the votes are typically lined up. person who is becoming speaker is above all else supposed to get, count, and keep votes. in the orderly process of this first day of the new house, here s what it sounded like on the floor. the honorable hakeem jeff his of the state of new york has received 212. the honorable kevin mccarthy of the state of california has received 202. no person having received the majority of the whole number of votes cast by surnam
