conservative or chaotic members of their conference who have put us in this position, but they honestly can t afford to wait around, let this come out and potentially risk not being able to get a set of rules to govern the conference going forward. speaking of transparency, jamie gangel, what about the fact we ve had so much transparency we haven t been in legislative business so the c-span cameramen and women have been able to shoot anything they want as opposed to the government seizing what they have. are they going to allow the c-span cameramen and women to continue to show what s going on the floor of the people s house? first of all, you ve had too much coffee. where is your energy coming from? i m just taking these people at their word. big finish, jake. look, i just want to say one thing that i would like in the rules package thought that i get a vote. i want the c-span cameras to stay. america does. just this way. i salute c-span this week. it s been sp
that began way back on tuesday. along the way, we were treated to an important at times chaotic civics lesson including near fisticuffs live and on camera. friday the fourth day of voefting we saw 15 holdouts switch their allegiance during the 12th and 13th rounds of balloting, and then after an adjournment mccarthy thought he had the needed votes and at 11:00 came to a 14th vote yet one vote shy of a majority. for the first time all week he couldn t hide being visibly angry. lauren boebert and matt gaetz voted present while four other anti-mccarthy holdouts remained steadfast. it was dramatic and gripping to watch. a fistfight nearly broke out as mike rogers the chair of the house armed services committee, was physically restrained from matt gaetz who supporters rushed to his side. on enies were heard. mccarthy thought he d whipped the votes necessary. when it seemed they were going to be adjourning for the weekend there was more arm twisting. suddenly mccarthy was smiling a
i m jake tapper in d.c. kevin mccarthy is living on a prayer today is a day a deal will come together. we ll shock you, mccarthy promised reporters last night. so far shockingly no deal. only assurances of some progress. we were told that yesterday, of course, and the day before and the day before. the math today looks nearly identical to the math on tuesday, ballot one, ballot two, 19 rebels, ballot 3, add another rebel to the resistance, four, five, six, a present vote on top of the 20 hard-liners, seven, eight, nine, the math remains the same, more evidence the opposition is dug in. ballots 10 and 11, no show of momentum towards mccarthy. something his allies said he needed to demonstrate then and still needs to demonstrate soon. this farce in the house is also clashing with a deadly and sobering anniversary. lawmakers crowded the capitol steps earlier today to mark two years since the mob emboldened and incited by donald trump s many lies about the election tried to preve
today s vote. and just so you know the prompter could add two asterisks and some boldness to it to make sure i said it. all of this we are told contains more concessions to the conservative fold outs but insiders are signaling that even that may not be enough to get him to 218 votes and the stalemate could continue to route that we can. this is outnumbered i m harris faulkner with my cohost emily compagno also joining us today kennedy, jessica tarlov, and bill hemmer, you know the news is big when you get for lexmark let s do this. let s take a look at things live on the floor today. one thing we have not seen, bill, as we haven t seen them come right out and reconvene for a recess. we are probably not likely to see that anymore because it s so hard to get them to agree on a journey. bill: i was wondering because i can t remember but how did that bill murray movie and after all? groundhog day? harris: oh, my goodness! they were in love! to think she is in the movie? do
elect a speaker since the 1850s continues to play out. he has not yet reached a deal with the senate, mccarthy remains optimistic. lawmaker reportedly even making more concessions to hard line conservatives, some say they still will not support him. sandra: we will likely know a whole lot more as the minutes go on here. we are watching it with you. some mccarthy allies are acknowledge never enough compromise for some hold-outs. warren davidson is backing mccarthy s bid but more than four never kevin lawmakers who will never vote for him. we will have more with the congressman-elect, davidson. he is in front of the camera right now, we ll get to him in just a moment. john: fox news live team coverage, martha will join us with more perspective on the speakership fight, and chad pergram kicking things off this afternoon, live from capitol hill and here we go for a 12th time. here we go again but also some changes. we indicated earlier this morning kevin mccarthy was going
