Tsirkin on the capitol hill, and our brian chungs here with me in new york, and with us, lindsey gorman, Senior Fellow for emerging technologies, alliance for securing democracy, and also Senior Adviser in the biden white house. Julie, this could be a rare bipartisan vote, why the urgency now and what does this bill do . Reporter yeah, its rare indeed, ana, every time we talk about, we talk about how things arent going well here on capitol hill. But here you have overwhelming support from republicans and democrats to pass forward this crackdown of tiktok essentially, this bill, as you laid out, would force the Parent Company of tiktok to divest to an american company, not only tiktok, this bill would force any app, any Company Owned by a foreign adversary to do the same or else tiktok is banned from the app store, from any platform here in the u. S. If that doesnt happen within six months here. Not everybody is on board, right, you did have a small percentage of young House Democrats h
the media kept touting each ballot as a crushing defeat for ken mccash think kevin mccarthy, although he was winning 95% of house republicans. that was especially true late friday night when after flipping most of his opponents to his side, mccarthy lost by one vote. you could see he was stunned as he walks away there, and one ally, mike rogers, made a beeline for matt gaetz who had taken a half step by voting present. not until the early morning our hours yesterday did mccarthy win. some of the talking heads predicted mccarthy would drop out. i suspect that when they come back after dinner that mccarthy is going to end up withdrawing. oh, i think his goose is very much cooked. i don t think we re going to see a speaker kevin mccarthy. howard: only in the final late night drama did journalists say, hey, shocker, mccarthy, who we all branded the biggest loser, might actually win this thing. of i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, my exclusive int
you ll find out the things you disagree upon are not insurmountable and we can finally get to resolutions and get to yes. the first test is well, first test was electing a speaker and that proved to be quite difficult. but i m glad you can laugh about it now. the next one is rules package for anyone out there wonder what that means. it s a package that dictates how the congress, the house in particular is going to run for the next couple of years. and it s not clear whether or not even that will pass. what do you think? you know, a lot of people are coming into this and grumbling, well, the people who are negotiating got everything and kevin was giving away the store. but i think part of the process with a lot of other members in working with my group, the republican governance group and explaining along the way of what was taking place, and there s nothing in this package that really hurts us because, unfortunately and i ve seen it since my time here too much power
were, you know, put in exile. that s what they ll have to get to. you ll have the folks. mary miller just miller. let s wait and see, chip roy and if you have scott perry voting yes, you ll have the serious people will now come over to kevin and then you ll have the kind of the clown show for lack of a better phrase, right? the people who are just they re just here for theater, right? if those are the folks still outstanding mccarthy will win. that s i think the key point. that was mary miller. mary miller who had previously been part of the bloc of 20 just flipped her vote. you see this building momentum in terms of flitting the bloc of the 20 who are obstinate against mccarthy. the thing to look at if you don t read the tea leaves of politics every day, the difference if that 20 between the intransigent ones there not in good faith to simply make a stand and show and frankly burn the house down, and the ones who have principled policy differences where they re
but he s not going to do the deal, not on this roll call. maybe not today. chris jansing, my colleague is going to take over this roll call. watch with steve kornacki. this has been an extraordinary day already. we have another flip here. we knew it was going to be historic. steve kornacki, what did we just seethe? i want to go back to steve. what are we looking at? mary miller from illinois, another one of the holdouts, she also flipping over and voting for mccarthy. that means there have been 13 folk who is have voted against mccarthy previously and now 7 of those 13 have flipped over. so he s actually of the votes cast by previous mccarthy opponents in this roll majority over. he s gotten more than half of them. 7 of the 13 have flipped over. paul gosar will vote at the end. he has seemed pretty dug in, but we ll see what happens there. the next name to come on the list is ralph norman. we re about 15 names away from him. very rapid fire after that. scott perry, chair
