i m thinking of the house republicans and the grateful dead if you plant ice you will harvest wind, which is one of those lines that could mean anything, but sometimes what it means to me at least is, yeah, you put stuff in the ground that is not a seed, that is not meant to grow, it s not going to work with the surrounding environment. what are you going to get? and i was watching your coverage and thinking what you said that this is what they want. how do you negotiate with someone for a solution when the actual think they would quote, negotiate for is no solution? is what they re getting. i m glad you went back toest because republicans frankly fewer and fewer used to call me during the trump years. what do you want from us? we said grab them in the bleep wasn t ideal but you re still for him, you re still helping him beat his opponent who s a better choice, who isn t a threat to national security which all republicans are knew believed he was. so the bet was always to
i think at the end of the day we ll get everybody together. you failed three times, how do you possibly pull this off? you get to 218. how do you do it? you come back, you continue what you re doing right now, talking, solve the small problems. they say if you do the same thing over and over insanity. and expect the same that s the definition of insanity. it was supposed to be kevin mccarthy s big moment. so what the heck happened? good morning, america, good to see you. poppy and i are here in new york. kaitlan is live in washington d.c. hi, kaitlan, doing okay? we re bracing. it s the worst episode of the west wing ever playing out right now. we ll see what happens today. a chaotic day on the hill. no speaker elected. some in the republican party turned against their leader. ahead kaitlan collins is going to speak with a member who switched his vote after first saying yes. plus we have buffalo bills safety damar hamlin news, still in critical c
in this moment it s unclear if there is any concession they will accept beyond kevin mccarthy taking his name out of consideration. unclear if the house adjourns as soon as it gavels in or the opposition is going to force mccarthy to stomach another vote and likely public humiliation. cnn s capitol hill team is tracking every development on very little sleep. let s check in with manu raju. manu, mccarthy allies remain worried and now they re worried that they might even begin to hemorrhage even more support on a potential fourth ballot. yeah, that s been the reason why there have been active suggests to try to delay today s vote, move to adjourn the house immediately as they come into session at noon. but here s the problem. they don t have the votes to do that and i just talked to two republican members of the leadership team who just left kevin mccarthy s office, richard hudson and tom emmer. both said the vote will happen at noon. they expect that to happen and the reaso
live coverage. and aim jake tapper in washington. the united states still without a house speaker this hour and there is no sign that republicans are going to be able to settle on one any time soon. kevin mccarthy is going to come up short a fourth time. that s the vote we re watching right now. the hard-line opposition of about 20 rebels backing congressman byron donalds of florida this go-around. this vote is playing out as we re seeing quite an interesting split screen moment on the left side of your screen. you see senator senator minority leader mitch mcconnell at an event in kentucky with president biden there talking about the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was only passed because of democrats and republicans working together and now you see on the screen a place where bipartisanship is not happening, in fact, barely partisanship when it comes to republicans. cnn is tracking everything as it happens vote by vote. let s start with lauren fox. kevin mccarthy s a
