The jordan forces wanted him to do. They wanted him to vote present but he voted for mccarthy. That is essentially a no vote on jordan. The next vote that were going to be dipping in for will be Congressman Ken Buck, another nay on jordan. His issue also different, kasie hunt, again, not a moderate against jordan, ken buck a very conservative republican from colorado, his issue is elections and whether or not joe biden actually won the election fair and square. Big picture, jake, i just think we are watching the formal installation of donald trump. There have been so many ways in which this has happened, but this is a moment crystallizing it for me, as the current Singular Entity republican the Republican Party, this is an institution whose glass doors were broken. There were gun shots fired outside this chamber. The members had to evacuate in gas masks on january 6th of 2021, when a protrump mob stormed the place and as we were discussing before, jim jordan was and jamie reported abou
they seem confident in this bill we are defunding planned parenthood but putting them into other woman s issues std prevention prenatal screening, things of that nature. harry reid said democrats won t vote for this because this is an assault on women s health. planned parenthood is an organization that is very much aligned with democratic interests so it will be interesting to see how strong their lobbying is in the face of what will be pretty stiff opposition. all of that being said i think this story will be around on capitol hill in in capacity. there have been discussions in the house about doing something very similar, if they are able to get this bill through the senate through the cloture vote and break the filibuster it will see some movement in the house. we ll see if they get the democratic support to pull that off. luke russert on capitol hill thank you. after the break we ll zoom through some of the other top story including a day two of a heat wave affecting 32 millio
that for whatever reason want to keep some sort of a confederate battle flag on that flagpole and, you know i came out early on. i was one of the first two republicans in the house to actually state that we need to remove the flag and put it in the state museum. but there are several amendments to do various things and now that the senate has overwhelmingly, the last two days approved this bill to remove the flag from the state house grounds and send it to the confederate rally down the street here in columbia i think that sends a very strong message to all of us in the house, and i m looking forward to getting that bill over a little bit later today. i m sure it will be read across the desk today, and there are some procedural moves that will be made to try to get it on the house floor as quickly as possible. and hopefully we can move this bill forward by the end of the
senator haynes bill with a 37-3 vote. the house must do the same. meanwhile, as we come together as a caucus today, it is to tell you what concerns us. we see movement in the house, a movement that has 50 co-sponsors to not remove the flag but substitute it with another confederate flag or substitute it with an american flag significant support growing in the house of chambers among republicans. let me be clear. there will be no flags and no flagpole when we were done with this debate. [ applause ] it s important. to do so continues a legacy. not a legacy of heritage but a legacy of hate. do they need to be reminded when this flag showed up? assembly of house democrats here as they expect to get a vote today as the state democrats voted overwhelmingly
flag goes down. absolutely and some going even further saying they want not just the flag to come down but also the flagpole that nothing should go in its place. the current bill the senate is asking to be passed which is a clean bill, would simply take the flag down and move it to a relic room which is a nearby civil war adjacent museum. they said they want the senate path to go cleanly through the house, but there are amendments some of which apparently have dozens of co-sponsors that would leave the flagpole flying and would fly other confederate flags. that is the bone of contention and there is a question of whether the bill would go to the judiciary committee which would also hold things up in the house. not out of the woods yet. there has to be three separate votes in the house as well as the formality vote in the senate today. very similar in 2000 where they ended up with that compromise, moving the flag where we see it now. joy reed thank you very much for the update.
