Hill now. Fox news among the journalists spotting the interim republican speaker of the house moments ago Patrick Mchenry. He sent the entire house home late yesterday following that historic vote to strip Kevin Mccarthy from the speakership. So what is mchenry doing there today . Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. Eight republicans pulled off an epic power move in washington, d. C. It was led by longtime mccarthy critic florida representative matt gaetz. 208 democrats voted against mccarthy as well. All together with those Eight Booting CongressmanKevin Mccarthy from the speaker seat. And right now it leaves a void that wont be filled likely until next week at the very earliest when lawmakers are set to return. And with this recent Media Sighting of the interim speaker mchenry, could there be changes coming . Well, whenever the timing is, until they choose a new speaker, the business is at a full stop in the house. Todays New York Post cover with this blistering take. Gaetz of hell. Before the historic vote, many republicans warning of the impending chaos. Think long and hard before you plunge us into chaos. Pass the bills that need pass. Do the Oversight Work that needs to be done and stop the inevitable omnibus that comes from the United States senate right before the holidays. Kevin mccarthy has been rock solid on all three. If you vacate the speaker nobody is going to try to the institution will fail. On this vote, the yays are 216, the nays are 210. The resolution is adopted. Whats next . They are not conservatives and do not have right to have the title. Harris you know who is feasting, the Democratic National committee pounced on what is a political gift to them with this statement. Democrats will continue to be the adults in the room and fight to deliver for the American People like we have every single day since President Biden was sworn into office. In focus, one of the eight House Republicans who sent Kevin Mccarthy packing, congressman andy biggs of the great State Of Arizona is here. I will begin with Congressional Correspondent aishah hosni live on capitol hill. You and other reporters on the heels of the interim speaker. What did you learn from him . Good afternoon to you, harris. I had a very frank conversation just a few moments ago with congressman graves. He basically told me that he does not believe that the conference can coalesce around one person quickly. He thinks the stand still could go on for months and he is actually very worried about the Oversight Committee and the Oversight Powers that are also now as he puts it frozen. Take a look at the names that are being floated right now for speaker. That includes steve scalise, matt gaetz supports him. It doesnt necessarily mean that some wont nominate mccarthy again. We need a budget in less than 45 days. Committees can hold hearings and doubtful they will. I asked matt gaetz if he is worried about that . Less than 45 days left before you have to pass a budget. Something you have been wanting to do. Doesnt it paralyze the house . Bill whats paralyzed has been the failure of Speaker Mccarthy. It was not taking up Appropriations Bills. Harris, there are plenty of fallout. Some republicans talking about Expelling Gaetz if he is found guilty. Nancy mace the probably kicked out of the centrist republican caucus. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leader steny hoyer are being kicked out of their capitol Hideaway Office eaves today. That decision came moments after congressman mchenry became Acting Speaker likely in revenge over democrats siding with gaetz. The house is in chaos. Harris. Harris were going to get some answers now from one of those eight. Thank you very much for your reporting. Congressman andy biggs of arizona, member of the House Oversight and judiciary committees. Great to have you in focus today. Was it planned for the eight of you to vote against Kevin Mccarthy . Was it a voting blocktype situation . Well, i think we talked about it, yeah. I dont know if i would say it was a plan to vote against him. I think when this started taking place, yeah, i was intending to vote against mccarthy. I had no idea the democrats would come on board until sometime yesterday. It wasnt that i was asking them to come on board. My position was always clear because i believe that Speaker Mccarthy not as a person. He is a nice enough fellow. But as a leader, he had failed not just the conference but the country in my opinion. Harris everything has come to a standstill right now, everything. And i know that maybe the pushback would be well those subpoenas and those investigations are going on. You need a speaker of the house to act on the subpoenas. Thats one thing promised to the American People. I want to get a handle on what happens as the business is stopped. So you have that part of it. Impeachment inquiry, any of that going to go on . And just the regular business of the house while you pick a speaker. Our reporter just said the standstill over who it should be could go on for months. She talked with representative graves. What is your reaction to all of that . There is a lot of reaction. She also said the house is in chaos. I think thats inaccurate. I think that the speaker mchenry should have come in and said look, continue with committee hearings. The Appropriations Committee has two bills, harris, they were supposed to get out last june and havent taken up. They need to go through and have that vote. They could do that this week. The hearings that we have scheduled should have been going on. We will continue with depositions and transcribed interviews. Those are all going on. The only thing that is actually harris i want to stop you there and make sure we understand it. Hearings and things are all going on in the interim right now . They can be. They should be. Harris everybody has gone home. I would imagine business has stopped. Hearing that Patrick Mchenry is on the hill today, would you want him to bring all of you back early . It sounds like that could happen. Im here. I didnt go. Because i think we should be doing our work. They should never have sent the people home yesterday. I get that they were a little disarrayed but they shouldnt have said go home. They should have said we can continue with committee hearings. Well do it appropriations. Do it. And they didnt do it. Thats part of what continues to happen here over and over, harris. I mean, we were supposed to get 12 Appropriations Bills out when . By june 30th. Harris i got that. And again i want to have a speedier conversation because the American People are hanging right now. They are just wondering they sent you to washington to Work Together and you guys do Work Together, you do but right now youve been given a standstill. Did you push back on mchenry and say we dont want to go . Im staying, lets do more and what were those conversations like . My understanding is some of our people did talk to mchenry but they dont know quite what to make of it, to be frank with you. But the reality is what im hearing from the American People is very different than what im hearing from the washington, d. C. Bubble. What i hear from people all over the country is thank you. That needs to go, lets get back to work. Thats what ive always said. We should be working. We should be working and getting the stuff done. And this speaker, the former speaker, mccarthy, he was not getting it done. And thats been the problem. And so here we are sit once again. Once again, harris. Harris i think you have made it abundantly clear and the American People are with you in terms of wanting the move forward on the things that matter. I get that. What im wondering is how did we get to this edge of the cliff situation with everybody going home . I simply mean now you have to do all that stuff you wanted to do with even less time. No one communicated what day one after the vote was going to look like . Because it was always going to look like it is up to Patrick Mchenry. One of the things he did comes across as rather petty. Rather than waiting for nancy pelosi or somebody to come back, he takes her office while she is memorializing dianne feinstein. Are you all talking . Thats not who you are, congressman biggs. Thats not who any of these eight are. Yeah, let me tell you something. What you have seen, i dont know if mr. Mchenrys motivations are. I dont know about that. One thing i do know. People ask me i would say look, i know one thing. You are going to see very capable, conservative leadership emerge immediately and before the end of the evening last night i knew of six people who were running for speaker, harris. And this morning i heard of a couple others. There are people that are running for speaker that i believe will make a very aggressive move to resolve these issues. But when you tell me were in chaos, i disagree with that 100 . You didnt, aishah did. When she said we were in chaos, we have not descended to chaos. We have regular order. Everything that took place yesterday was regular order. What isnt regular order is when you pull the fire alarm to stop a vote. Thats not regular order. What we did was regular order. So now we are operating under regular order and operating under the rules and the rules in my opinion allow us to go forward with committees. Everybody agrees with that. So harris that would be great to see you all reconvene for what you could be doing. By the way, representative bowman gets a pass because no one ising to be focused on the fact he brought something to a halt merely by pulling a fire alarm but you voted anyway. You did what you needed to do and what the American People want to see again. Good to hear you say that you are perched to bring about that good leadership. I want to get to this. A former House Speaker wrote an oped. Newt gingrich. Republicans must expel matt gaetz for this move and said this. 4 , 4 decided they were so morally superior, so intellectually pure, so patriotically better, that they would side with the democrats. We ought to be focusing on biden and the economy and focusing on the border. Instead you will get a week or ten days of the media focusing on republican disarray. A handful of ego sent rick people who think they are superior to 96 of the conference. Harris a couple of headlines. The New York Post editorial board. Matt gaetz burns down the republican house. Wall street journal editorial board, republicans cut off their own heads. A Gang Of Eight ousts a speaker with no plan in mind. Your reaction and a quick follow that i will have. I think thats the party talking there. Lets ask newt gingrich. When did you lead a coup . When was the last time we had a balanced budget. He was the speaker. He should remember that. What has happened over the last 25 years, 130 continuing resolutions, massive debt and structural deficit. Three times in the last 25 years where they did a continuing resolution for the entire year, harris. I can tell you what, when you pass out bills and you say we fixed the border but you have done nothing to leverage this administration to get the border secure, then you have failed. And in my humble opinion the speaker basically killed us on the debt ceiling deal. We dont have a debt ceiling in place until january of 2025. All of these things were what he did. To say that people should be expelled for following the rules, nothing that was done was not consistent with the rules that were put in place and voted by republicans in january of this year. Harris quickly yes or no. Former President Trump going into the courthouse today here in new york city was asked if it were him, what would he do . He says he has been getting calls. I simply wants to help you all get through the process. Your take real quick. I have think thats right. He wants to get through the process. I think he is still the leader of the Republican Party and will likely be the republican nominee. So we want to work with him but also want to work with our colleagues. I want to work with my colleagues here. Harris representative biggs. Thank you for being in focus. Appreciate your time. Thank you, harris. Harris Illegal Immigrants at the southern border seeing a democrat messenger telling them not to come, specifically dont go to new york city. Its the same story in chicago. People are angry and more democrats are starting to turn on President Biden over all of it. Plus republican president ial candidate tim scott enraging liberals when he said this. What was hard to survive was Johnsons Great Society where they decided to put money where they decided to take the black father out of the household to get a check in the mail.

What was hard to describe is Johnsons Great Society where they decide to put money where they decided to take the black father out of the house to get a check in the mail. You can measure it in devastation. Harris he sparked debate over government handouts and the Great Society program. Liberals are raging over it. One of them. Nikole hannahjones, she posted the second Middle Passage alone broke up about 1 3 of black marriages but yes, antipoverty programs are the problem. She also added just to be absolutely crystal clear, nothing black people have experienced in this country is worse than slavery and a lot of black folks died for lack of healthcare and still do. Thats all from her. A Wall Street Journal columnist laid out the controversy this way. A black republican speaks the truth and he is quickly told to shut up and sit down. South carolina senator, republican president ial candidate tim scott wont do either, i can tell you that. So why are liberals so upset over what you said . The truth will set you free, john 8 32 reminds us the truth will set you free. The radical left and liberals will do anything to hold onto their power to include using race and class as a weapon to divide the American People. To hold onto their political power, even at the expense of all of us. One of the challenges when you look back at the statistics. In the 1960s, over 70 of africanamerican kids were growing up with two parents in the household. Today 70 or more are growing up with only a single parent in the household. I have to tell you, harris, as a kid who grew up in poverty in a single parent household it is devastating that crime, unemployment and fatherlessness has on a communit
