Would imagine for them a stumble out the gate. also curious what the president may say about all of this. is he due back from the virgin islands a little bit later on today. he has been on vacation. if things get hesitate were he wouldnt help himself but to weigh in. >> griff: i think is he going to get out of the way. why would you intervene let them shoot each other. >> not intervene. he might take a shot at it. i think he is actually going to be going to ohio later in the week. maybe step out...

They want to make sure if mccarthy gets the speakership not just his forever. want to have checks and balances on that i understand could of power. mccarthy does have a lot of support within his caucus. important to point out he does have a majority -- not a majority but most republicans that are going for him at this point. so obviously, for him, money is on him but of course what happens between now and tomorrow nobody quite knows. >> steve: just one other question for you. that is there are a...

Those are things mccarthy can give them, but the five hard nos are a much tougher nut to crack. they may want to block mccarthy and let the chips fall where they may, let there be chaos until a consensus pick can be named. if there is not a one vote tomorrow, a single vote to select the speaker, it would be the first time in 100 years that thats been the case. thats the direction that it appears like were headed unless mccarthy can pull back room horse trading today. >> history mccarthy didnt wa...

Sure can. it is a big week in washington where tomorrow republicans will take control of the house but almost instantly there is going to be drama over who should be the next speaker of the house. republicans won control of the chamber in novembers midterms. they only have a slim majority. to be speaker a candidate needs 218 votes. it is possible some lawmakers may vote present, which kind of changes the threshold a bit. current minority leader kevin mccarthy is running for the speakers chair. b...

Mccarthy will tell you how this is going to turn out tomorrow. but the most important outcome is that the right flank aligned with trump has signaled that it has the leverage and the power to go its own way. and that there is highly unlikely there is any significant restraint or discipline of them. mccarthy as agreed to even establish a select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. marjorie taylor green said he promised to probe the treatment of the january 6 rioters. you m...

Wanted to hold out to bring back the motion to vacate, which simply, under what mccarthy has agreed to, would be the threshold, all it takes is five republicans at any given time during his speakership to forced a house built to remove him, and hes willing to go down that road. i dont believe you faced, but obviously paul ryan did. when this group of five or however many more vote against kevin and that first vote, we get to what you call chaos. the second vote, do they just put someone out ther...

Negotiate with people who, frankly, arent acting in good faith. its hard to nail them down on certain things. he has been making concessions. he put out a rules package that would lower the threshold, not as far as they wanted, but lower on the motion to vacate. doesnt seem to have gotten him anything because they dont want to come to the table. their goal is to go to the floor and defeat him and then negotiate. we may be entering, again, an unprecedented in modern times situation on the floor. ...

Trail and really trusted him and believed him and felt completely duped and kind of embarrassed. right? so a range of responses there, but also i spoke to a jewish community leader who said, listen, given the opportunity i wouldnt vote for him again, but i dont feel compelled to tell him to step down. so i think that the people in the district are still trying to process this. there are some that are still, they think, aligned with him on the issues, on how he would ultimately vote, and are cons...

Private conference call of republicans where he told them he agreed to reduce the number of individuals it would take in the house to try to oust a speaker. basically right now the rule is that you cannot bring up that vote unless you had a majority of the conference. but woe change that threshold to just five members. that is a key, key important distinction for a lot of conservatives who have been fighting for that. but matt gaetz, one of the republicans who is opposed to him, said on that cal...
