Personal matter, but i am now told from a democratic source that he is on his way back. why would he be on his way back? because in the complicated math of having to win a majority of those voting on the floor other than those voting present who do not count, right now kevin mccarthy only needs to pick up three republicans to get the magic number 216 to become speaker, but this democrat tells me and im no math expert, but this is what they say, they have people who do this professionally, if dav...

Straightjacket. >> you can tell them, ill support it. thats not to say the senate wont put that money back. >> there are things he can say that he supports. >> lets listen for bob good, a never kevin, from virginia who comes after vicente. >> good of virginia. jordan. >> jordan. so thats it. already mccarthy has lost five votes and we believe hes only able to lose four to become speaker of the house. it looks like he will lose on the 13th ballot, although he has made some progress. it looks as t...

Cheekiness in the house. when we take a look at the math, any way you cut it, hes got to get three more votes and whether he gets those from people who voted for others flip or maybe like trone, there are different ways to get to the magic number. but im just wondering what you make, bret and martha, of the fact that the house freedom caucus chair scott perry changed his vote, he said he was open to changing it, unlike matt gaetz. dan bishop and chip roy. they must have gotten a promise from mcc...

Hes made some progress and, frankly, alex, at this point thats what they need to show. >> 14 or 15, ali, still leaves, am i doing my math wrong six or seven that could be noes. >> it still leaves five, four or five that could be noes but they can be noes, they can be present, thats an option if they have the 15 or 16 people they need to actually get him over the finish line. >> so at this point, any yes, hell take and well see where the numbers land tomorrow. >> reporter: thats definitely true h...

Could be, if the dam broke, as many as 10 to 12 flips in the course to have this vote. that does look like where were headed. i said to watch chip roy. where he falls in the alphabet, hes a lagging indicator, but he was one of the leading negotiators with mccarthy and his allies. i do think given everything else we have seen, we should expect to see -- that was rosendale. we should probably expect to see roy go with mccarthy and his allies. and i risk being sent to msnbc jail for this, but i thi...

Mr. garcia knows the high regard i hold him in. he is a patriot, i deeply, deeply admire him but i must take some exception with some of the comments he made in his nomination. first he said mr. mccarthy has earned the position. you only earn the position of speaker if you can get the votes. mr. mccarthy doesnt have the votes today. [ applause ] he will not have the votes tomorrow and he will not have the votes next week, next month, next year. and so one must wonder, madam clerk, is this an exe...

Dingell. >> jeffries. >> therefore. >> doggett. >> jeffries. >> donalds. >> mccarthy. [ applause ] >> there you go. so mccarthy has now picked up even more votes. one, two, three, four, five. so his vote total is going in the right direction at least this time. yes? >> do we know what -- john king, do we know what the denom fwhater is here. >> we dont. we have to see how many total votes are cast. because the -- you can be speaker. you need 218 if everybody is there and everybody votes for someb...

Instead of “math is hard,” Barbie now says “you people are stupid.”

Vote. >> he is dealing with an untenable and unwielding conference what is going to make it harder. you friend comer may run oversight but he still has marjorie taylor greene. maybe hes better at mccarthy -- >> the attention on him is going to be great because, you know, legislatively, i dont know here, theyre going to have to walk and chew gum at the same time, but the demand in the republican party, the immediate action demand, is oversight. thats what people want to see because they believe i...

The home at least 12 times before the night of the murders. he is a ph.d. candidate in criminology studied under a professor an expert on the btk serial killer. i covered the after math of some of that in the mid to late 90s when i was in kansas city. raider killed ten people in kansas over 15 years before his capture in 1991. there is no evidence that we know of that kohberger ever talked directly with that professor or of course not the btk killer rader. what did those details reveal to you? >...
