everybody be in the world is thinking about president carter. but that s one of the things that s been on my mind all day today, the kind of parallels between those two situations. that s a beautiful a beautiful echo of an incredible history inside our msnbc family. obviously this is mika brzezinski s brother and she s had him on the program. mike, you want to weigh in on some of these echoes for president biden too? yeah, it occurred to me as we were watching those pictures that biden probably wants to have a conversation with brzezinski. and as you mentioned, i ve often heard from white house officials how in their view president biden is a real gameday player and he ll likely be riding the momentum here and making some calls still before he gets to the hotel. i believe it. mike memoli, john heilemann, two better humans to have this conversation with do not exist. thank you so much for starting us off this hour. we had that plane land, you know, just forever you. just for us.

voting for kevin mccarthy, or these never mccarthy members, the hard five or six, what s the personal conflict they have? i don t know their issues specifically. i will say that it is few of those 20245 that really have personal conflicts but the majority are really policies. they want changes to the way that we do appropriations. they want changes to the rules. and that s why the negotiations are continuing. and i do think at the end of the day, that there is a deal to be cut and we can get this plane land and get the speaker elected in the next day or so. one of the changes that is being demanded by one of the holdouts is a vote on term limits. how do you feel about a vote on term limits for congress men and women? that is something that i think has been discussed quite a bit over the last several years. i believe that we should have a vote on it. and the question would be, is the senate even willing to take that up? and i don t think they are. even if they re not, would you
