plus we will speak with the new secretary of transportation pete buttigieg live in this show in a bit. but, first, breaking tonight, just moments ago it has been more than 100 years since we have seen this moment on capitol hill. more than nine ballots for speaker of the house and just now after a tenth vote has just wrapped up. we still don t have a house speaker. the growing question now is who will blink first? we re in the third day day of the republican battle over this job. former minority leader kevin mccarthy still does not have enough support to get to the magic number and the top spot. about 20 opponents are refusing to buckle so far as negotiations continue behind the scenes vote after vote. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram has the latest tonight live from capitol hill. good evening, chad. bret, kevin mccarthy expected to move the meter today. it never happened, despite concessions. the house is no closer to electing a speaker than when it started
But its still not far enough. Ten months ago, britain stood on the edge of the precipice. A vote for brexit said the government would be disastrous. The hit to the uk economy would be so great, there would be spending cuts and tax rises, almost immediately. Well, what a difference ten months on. As the country prepares to start the brexit process, phillip hammond, todays chancellor of the exchequer, was sounding a very different tone. I report today on an economy that has continued to confound the commentators with robust growth. A Labour Market delivering record employment and a deficit down by over two thirds. As we start negotiations to exit the european union, this budget takes forward our plan to prepare britain for a brighterfuture. And the reason for this cautious optimism is the growth rate for the uk economy for 2017 it has been revised upwards from 1. 4 to 2 , while employment is forecast to grow every year to 2021.

Investigate this and oh, my god how could President Obama have done this to President Trump, and they were quiet, with the ni microphones except f microphones except for john mccain and lindsey graham. The question is why would the president Want Congress to spend money investigating a question to which he has the answer by virtue of his tweet . And can make that public any old time he wants. Lets talk turkey here.

And sean spicer was asked and
this because he hasnt shown any evidence. Imagine if he had evidence of this action by the former president it would be the biggest political story in 50 years or so and he would want to put it out there and we will wait to see what he does. I think they are hoping this does become like Groundhog Day and e
If the administration was standing by that tweet which sean spicer said the president is, then why could congress then need to investigate if this information already exists . The Press Secretary talked a little bit about the issu i have to listen to the vshage again, the transcript, but he talked about credibility and the idea there is a separation of powers as well. We also talked a little bit about the idea that hey we are in tax season, tax day is just over month away. Will the president release his returns from this most recent year . The president secretary said he would got back to us. And then is the president still under audit for past returns . The Press Secretary confirming he indeed is. A separation of powers, and they dont want to be perceived as directing congress to investigate in a certain way. Harold ford is this going to dog them much longer . It will. The question by halle and the other young lady spelled i out. I think the health care the governors will be the ar ab
Somebody disrespects our flag . To say, get that son of a off the field. I have a daughter. I do whatever i have to do to make sure she can look at her dad and be, like, hey, he tried to make a change. It was divisive. For him to use this platform to divide us more is not something i can stand for. If youre a multimillionaire who feels oppressed, you need a therapist, not a publicity stunt. They can do the free speech on their own time. He should apologize. Theyre not sobs. Theyre thoughtful, smart guys. The latest push to overhaul obamacare may be in Critical Condition again. Can only afford to lose two, and they already have. It is difficult for me to envision a scenario where i would end up voting for this bill.
