the wuhan lab in china for gain of function research. but yet dr. fauci hasn t come before congress in the house of representatives. the american people deserve answers on covid-19 and speaker kevin mccarthy has given the republican majority the tools necessary to make that possible. [applause] the democrats have spent the past six years investigating a president for potential wrongdoing in ukraine and russia. now let me say this loud and clear. the republicans will also investigate a president for potential wrongdoing in ukraine and russia as well as china. the american people have a lot of questions for dr. fauci. christopher ray, merrick garland, secretary mayorkas. we cannot ask those questions until we elect our speaker. under speaker pelosi was a full-time committee to harass the previous president, to advocate for wage, social issues which the oversight committee had absolutely no jurisdiction and committee totally uninterested in the american taxpayer. in a repu ....
difficult. it can be short term uncomfortable. but when you move to the correct path, all of a sudden, things ease up and you can start having success. the direction here in my opinion is to someone like a byron donalds, a man who is living the american dream, and is the example and the mentor for millions who need hope. here is a man who that has worked his way, has worked his way up. he is not a novice. he has the experience, he has the chops to be the speaker. he is a man, he has a lovely family, and they are politically engaged, they know what s going on. he has worked in florida politics, he s worked in the legislature, he has respect, he has the quiet confidence that a leader needs. i look around this body today, and i know it s hard for you to believe, i know it s hard for me to believe sometimes, when i m here, and i have the great honor and privilege of serving with you, but you represent the cross-section of america, the great american experiment. the experien ....
mexico and attempting to enter the united states without going through our legal processes. we responded by using and ensuring there are two safe and lawful ways for someone leaving the country to come to america. that was one of the reasons you were proposing. first, if they are seeking asylum, they can use an app on their phone called cbpone. that s to spell it out. not the number 1. to schedule an appointment at a port of entry and make their asylum claim there without crossing the border unlawfully and have a decision determined by an asylum officer, do they qualify? second, in october we worked with the mexican government to launch a new parole program. there s another program you know it but the public may not. it immediately showed results by reducing the number of people crossing the border unlawfully. the way this parole program works, one must have a lawful sponsor here in the united states who agrees to sponsor you to get here. then that person has to go ....
in this moment it s unclear if there is any concession they will accept beyond kevin mccarthy taking his name out of consideration. unclear if the house adjourns as soon as it gavels in or the opposition is going to force mccarthy to stomach another vote and likely public humiliation. cnn s capitol hill team is tracking every development on very little sleep. let s check in with manu raju. manu, mccarthy allies remain worried and now they re worried that they might even begin to hemorrhage even more support on a potential fourth ballot. yeah, that s been the reason why there have been active suggests to try to delay today s vote, move to adjourn the house immediately as they come into session at noon. but here s the problem. they don t have the votes to do that and i just talked to two republican members of the leadership team who just left kevin mccarthy s office, richard hudson and tom emmer. both said the vote will happen at noon. they expect that to happen and the ....
reporter: all of these options are thorny. if they go to another round of balloting, it s not clear i would be surprised if mccarthy were able to peel off the number of people that he needs from this 20 no vote coalition on his side to actually become speaker on this next ballot. what we are hearing is that the mccarthy team could go for a motion to adjourn until tomorrow. you are right, that would buy them time. it would save them another round of embarrassment if he were to lose on this fourth ballot. as i was walking over here, i tried to find some key members of that 20 no vote coalition to ask if they would support that motion to adjourn. right now, democrats have said they will not represent republicans do that. they are whipping against that motion. republicans would have to go it alone. they would not be able to pass that motion to adjourn unless some of these 20 republicans were also on board and supportive of it. i talked, for example, with congressman and ....
