we are together. they ve sat there, they have laughed and they have chuckled and pointed fingers at us. you know what? as my friend from florida just said, we re together. neil: well, not quite all together right now. the 20 that are resisting kevin mccarthy remain about that now. we re about the halfway point of a ninth vote to see who will lead the house of representatives. looks like for the ninth time in a row, kevin mccarthy is going to have to suit up for number 10. that is if we get to a number 10. under others there, you can see 11 votes for someone other than kevin mccarthy. keep in mind the republican leader can shed no more than four of his republican colleagues. in this vote, as in the prior eight, he has failed to do so. chad pergram has the latest from capitol hill. chad? neil, this is the longest speaker election since 1923. the house is now taking the ninth vote for speaker. it must go to a tenth. the goal was for kevin mccarthy to move the dial today. p

neil: it is. ask my constituents. these people neil: i wish we had more time. 24 hours, i m going to get back to you. here s where we stand. we re entering a tenth vote to term whether kevin mccarthy will ever get his dream job of becoming speaker of the house. if it s like the other nine, the answer is no. here s the five. greg: hi, i m greg gutfeld, jesse watters, judge jeanine, dana perino, it s 5:00 p.m. in nyc and this is the five ! the battle for the gavel still happening on capitol hill heading for a 70th vote. we ll have more on that coming up but let s get to this ins instead. america, the adults are back in the room after turning the
took control of congress in 2010 after that midterm, when in the president s memorable words, the democrats got their shellacking that year, hatred of obamacare, top of the lungs republican opposition to every element of obamacare, that became sort of the main thing that the republican party stood for and did in washington. we actually stopped counting at this show when the republican-controlled congress took its 70th not 17th, 70th vote to repeal obamacare. they never actually did repeal the law, but they tried to bite off little bits and pieces of it, and they kept repeatedly going back, making sure they could take 70 different votes that they could label repealing obamacare in order to show off to the republican base that they really stoked on this issue that they were doing the absolute most important thing they could do in the country, which is that health care reform. that effort on the republican side has continued. today there are 20
the amendment was from bob corker. i think he s a yes on this. you re very quickly getting not only to 60, which you need to cut off debate and have a final vote on passage but you re getting up to 70. i think at the moment the ceiling is probably 80 votes. they ll probably get closer to 70. there s about 15 to 20 republican senator who is are eyeing each other because it s a lot easier to be the 70th vote or the 75th than the 61st. you re taking a lot more political heat if you re 61 than 75. i m impressed you did that without the white board. that was pretty good. do you agree, do you think they get to 70 yes votes? is it plausible. even if they do what happens when this goes to the house? there s no guarantees there.
