look, we re only a matter of hours away now from when the house is going to be back in session tomorrow at noon when they ll do what they did today all over again after they failed to elect a speaker on three consecutive ballots today. leaving kevin mccarthy fighting for his political life. there is a lot going on behind the scenes, as we speak, including an effort by the so-called never kevin republicans to turn things in their direction. that is kevin mccarthy tells cnn he spoke to former president trump tonight, and he, quote, reiterated support. do you need trump to come out and reiterate his support for you? trump has already reiterated his support. how was your call with trump? what did you guys discuss? what was the nature of it? i mean, look, from that perspective, he thinks it s better that all the republicans get together and solve this. it doesn t look good for republicans, but we want to be able to solve it where we re stronger in the long run. what we wen
republican party? all we ve done is try to defend donald trump. his failed record is embarrassing activities as president and afterwards. i don t think leaders won on polls. leaders what this party needs leadership, this country needs leadership, and if we re gonna fall polls we re gonna get more of what we got now, that s lack of leadership. i understand, but if you re active seeing you re gonna be a principal candidate and you gonna stand on stage on august 23rd in milwaukee, you re going to say your piece and it s going to fall on deaf ears. winning strategy has got to be twofold. you have to assume that this will carry too much away and donald trump is going to fall. if he doesn t fall, he s the nominee and he gets beat by joe biden. if he falls and it starts to weigh on, and we have a candidate who s willing to stand up and talk about the issues and move forward. what if he? doesn t then he loses to joe biden. what if he doesn t lose to joe? biden but he. well i m

20, that s a different scenario. so i think what you re going to see tomorrow they re probably going to try this one more time. and then you ve got to start thinking about what are your alternatives. part of the problem here is that kevin mccarthy has been so transparent that he just wants to be speaker at any cost. when you re an empty suit in a hurricane, you get blown around. he prostrated himself before donald trump. he had no principles there it looks like he spent the past certainly the past year just looking like i just want to be speaker, no matter what. that is not a strong position to lead. this country needs leadership. both parties need leadership. he has not shown leadership. he has actually shown he wants this job. it s not enough. i think what you re going see going forward is maybe some creative ideas. people have forgotten. you don t have to be a member of the house of representatives to be the speaker of the house. so they could go outside. they could go get newt gi
