what s going on inside a u.s. house of representatives. the seventh house speaker vote set to begin, and of course they have nominated kevin mccarthy again who we saw, congressman elect john james do that. of michigan. and so will wash this again, nominated again for the democrat side hakeem jeffries. and seven times martha maccallum, seven times kevin mccarty can the votes? that s the main question here. they will give it another go, probably a few more goes today. harris: you think. kennedy: i think so. what we learned last night and early this morning s they had what they called the most constructive discussions they have had so far. trying to get to some sort of conceptions, let s listen into some of this. appeared on the screen. that member elect wrote and sent
0 to decide a claim of asylum. someone says they come because i m facing oppression. there has to be a way to determine that quicker for people seeking safety from persecution. mayokas will detail this after i finish at homeland security. one step we re taking. over the summer we saw a huge spike of venezuelans traveling through mexico and attempting to enter the united states without going through our legal processes. we responded by using an insuring that there are two safe and lawful ways for someone leaving the country to come to america. go first, if they are seeking asylum, they can use an app on their cell phone called cbp one, o-and-e. you have to spell it out, not the number one trend. to schedule at a point of entry and make their asylum claim there without crossing the border unlawfully and having the decision determined by an asylum officer do they qualify. second, in october we worked with the mexican government to launch a new parole program. there is another program, you
the conference meeting i didn t come to be a part of any time. that s attitude held true with a big part of the conference and why we ve seen struggles and shutdowns. a tough job for kevin, for anybody. two things of context the congresswoman hinted. one, we hear often about moderates flexing muscles and never do so to the point you wonder if they know where the house gym is. they are only kevins, not only kevins, vowing to stay in to the end, flexing muscles first time in a long time. the other i d say is this conversation and understandably so as so many others have been, been about kevin, kevin, kevin. this is bigger than one person. it s whether or not republicans are going to be able to govern. it s a very real question regardless who wins, but just focus on one person, we re losing sight of what the real issue is and should be one thing that united states this republican conference. conservative majority in house
whoever else will be speaker aren t prepared to govern a fractured house. yes, rules aren t perfect, but enough con sengscessions made tw kevin mccarthy to get the votes he need. no one else but kevin p mccarthy to get the votes. and flouted out there and supported kevin mccarthy. if for some reason steve scalise name comes up, would you support him? nobody is better positioned to lead the u.s. house of representatives than kevin mccarthy. i would note people focus on 218. as you know, erica, the math is really 5. there are five members willing, republican members, will be to stand against any other candidate other than kevin mccarthy. that s a problem for steve and frankly for anybody else. great to have you with us. appreciate it. you bet. thanks. outfront tonight, outfront now, former
kevin mccarthy will become speaker of the house and not with matt gaetz vote. that s okay. manu is right. it will be messy. one thing the u.s. house of representatives does well it s messy. listen, kevin plmccarthy will b speaker, not easy, not a straight line. it will take a while and that okay. take a while? how many rounds are you thinking about here? oh, i don t think anybody knows. we are in a little uncharted territory here as you mentioned. it s been since 1923 we ve had multiple ballots, but longer ago than that in the 1800s one speaker s race went 133 ballots. important to folks at home to know is that kevin mccarthy and all of of his supporters are resolute, we re patient and und the american people have wanted republicans to have a hand helping govern the country and kevin mccarthy will become speaker even if it takes 10, 20
