Of the week who can just raise their hand, and here we are again. >> do the math here for a second. if he cuts his gap in half, he still has to peel off six more votes. what we just heard was andy biggs, bob good, lauren boebert and matt gaetz are immovable. you need to peel away perry and paul gosar. youre trying to negotiate with arsonists who actually dont want anything. some people would rather watch it burn. they would rather ruin if they cannot rule. and notice that this core cadre of folk...

Martha. >> martha: you see in the colony of 6 and that means the math is not therefore kevin mccarthy on this round. you have to wonder whats going through his mind at this point. he has made enormous concessions. he has put himself in a position where if he is the speaker of the house, only one vote could overturn that speakership. he has given in a number of things come appropriations committee where he wouldnt have control over who goes on it, the 20 members some calling them the rebels would...

The math, that doesnt get mccarthy to 218. he would have a lot of work to do. theres a lot of reason for optimism. we did see one breakthrough in the last hour or so. a mccarthy aligned pac agreed to not play in primaries in safe districts. thats something that conservatives have been asking for. its a big deal. mccarthy resisted up until now. obviously, the pac made this deal on its own. mccarthy cant control spending decisions made by the pac. it had his blessing. conservatives see this as a b...

Coming up. if youre going to hand away the keys to the car to the folks who dont want the car to be running, its going to be a lot harder. >> peter baker, what an analogy. thank you all very much for starting us off on this momentous day in washington. also just in this morning, also about washington, democratic senator debbi stabenow from michigan announced ship will not seek reelection. that means even more democrats will be up for office in 2024 in the senate making their math even more dif...

Lauren boebert is coming out, doesnt matter that she had a contentious interview with sean hannity. she still says kevin mccarthy is never going to become speaker of the house. and as long as those few members stay in that position its of not going to happen. so the question is the pressure on kevin mccarthy here. that becomes a breaking point. also as manu was noting some of these members are supposed to leave town tomorrow. some of them have family obligations or medical issues and theyre goin...
