Talking. i think we ve got a little movement so we ll see. so we ll see. mccarthy allies and hardliner holdouts negotiating once again late into the night on thursday. talks continuing this morning and soon house republicans set to hold a conference call as they continue to try to figure out a deal. break out the boxing analogies, we re going 12 rounds at least. plus, stunning new revelations in the brutal murders of four idaho college students, the suspect located around the house where the murders took place at least 12 times leading up to the attacks. a detailed timeline of the minutes surrounding the killings and how one surviving roommate came face-to-face with the killer who was masked after hearing cries from another room. i spoke with the father of one of the victims, kaylee goncalves. listen to what he had to say. i feel like he s scared to look at me in the eyes and start to understand what s about to
Jeffries, the democratic minority leader who keeps getting 212 votes. they voted so many times now that hakeem jeffries has now received more votes in history for speaker than nancy pelosi did because they ve gone 11 rounds. right. you know, i m old enough to remember when heavyweight fights went 15 rounds, so maybe we ll get there today. yeah. but he has to show progress and get ahead of hakeem jeffries and isolate the last four or five votes and then pick them off one by one. i said the boxing analogies were coming and there they are. right there. thank you, paul kane. mar margaret talev, thanks to both of. you pulling no punches there, jim. i like it. it is friday. this morning lawmakers also preparing on a much more somber note to mark two years since the january 6th attack on the capitol. next hour they are holding a ceremony. we are going to bring that ceremony to you live. it s remarkable to think that

I know what it s like to take a punch. vitaken a few. but more importantly, i know what it s like to get back on your feet. reedry, we have heard him make boxing analogies many times and there he goes again, saying this is the beginning of the next round. we ll see what that means. joining us for final thoughts, our panel. brit, as we wind up the night, your final thoughts? well, it s been the wave of election that we anticipated, that the polling pointed to. it was not as huge as i thought it would have been. i don t know what the final net vote count will be. how big a percentage advantage the republicans will enjoy. if it had been as big as it looked yesterday for a time, i think they would have won the senate and they didn t. but it s a huge turnout. it s the single biggest reversal of political fortunes as i have ever seen and i have been
