Leadership drama. the house will reconvene at noon. the big question is whether or not well see more of the say. lauren fox is live on capitol hill. lauren, what are we expecting to happen? we heard lauren davidson say the hard liners are meeting now. whats next for the broader republican party? >> reporter: well, kaitlan, that meeting youre referencing is critical to seeing whether or not mccarthy is able to cement enough of the hard liners to actually vote for him on the floor of the house, or...

Lower and the congressional threshold less and the mccarthy could pull it off but there are a number of ways this could come out, i think he will take it in the end. it come out, i think he will take it in the end.— it in the end. it seems crazy to the outside _ it in the end. it seems crazy to the outside world - it in the end. it seems crazy to the outside world on - it in the end. it seems crazy to the outside world on day| to the outside world on day one, chaos on day two. what is the poli...

Incumbents, who are returning. there are new members of congress that dont have a direction at this point in time as to what to do. but im surprised by the concessions being offered again, especially that threshold offer for the motion to vacate. originally the rebels wanted one, assuming they wanted to negotiate in good faith. he offered five. are we saying it is moving closer to some sort of splitting the baby or its one or nothing? >> i mean, its a bit a day in the moment, but it sounds like ...

To help kevin mccarthy? is there some sort of compromise candidate who governs from the center? are the democrats going to do it? congressman paul gosar, the white supremacist adjacent republican from arizona, we saw him talking on the floor of the house with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez which was quite a sight. what im told he was asking about is that mccarthy forces were telling the rebels -- he is a rebel -- the democrats are going to vote present so as to bring down the threshold s...

Republican party. they said put us in charge and we will do great things for. in washington. that was the message, weve got all this important things to take care of. look, hopefully they will start doing some of them once we get to the speaker. but back to your point about whether it is one or five for the college here, i think it is almost like, it is a relevant if it is one or five. because if you have got five, you can get, one if you have, one you can get five. >> what about number four? >>...

Surprised by the concessions that are being offered, again, especially that threshold number for the motion to vacate. because manu raju, originally, they had wanted their rebels wanted one, they wanted to negotiate in good faith. he offered five. were seeing its moving closer to some sort of splitting the baby? or it is one or nothing. >> i mean, it is vague at the moment, but it sounds like the conservatives are going to get what they want. that is the expectation at the moment, because it has...

Would call for the vote, he didnt want to go through with the vote that could have toppled a sitting speaker so he resigned. he stepped aside from the speakership. and that is to oust a speaker, it has been wielded over the last several years. so much so that it was nancy pelosi who raised the threshold to have other members to call for such a vote. but this group of conservatives want to lower that threshold to empower themselves over the speakership. that has caused a lot of concern within the...

Why kevin mccarthy is negotiating with chip roy and not matt gaetz or lauren boebert. mccarthy sees chip roy as negotiates in good faith and hes gettable and wants to get to yes. perhaps more importantly they believe chip roy is speaking for more than just himself. in fact, sources told me that chip roy informed gop leadership that he believes he can bring along ten or so members of the opposition with him and potentially get more detractors to vote present which would lower the threshold mccart...

Hard-line hold-outs a cornucopia of concessions including ones dealing with the rules such as lowering the threshold to recall a speaker. you only need a single vote according to what mccarthy offered but the outlines of a deal running the risk of alienating the 200 some member was voted for mccarthy again and again and again and again and again and again, let me tell you what ive been hearing this momccarthy tell me today they vw as pivotal because they say after mccarthy and his tea engaged in...

Support to be moderate republican and some understanding of power sharing. that seems unlikely. apparently kevin mccarthy has dismissed that possibility. but, you know, i dont really know. im stuck following my buddy scotts crazy theories about trying to read the tea leaves about whats going on here. anyone knows -- i mean there is not like -- there is a plan here that people are -- >> why do you consider that a nuclear option to lower the threshold versus staying here for two months and voting?...
