Right now it does not appear jim jordan has the votes for the speakership. At last count, it was just had the eighth republican to vote against jim jordan. So perhaps the takeaway so far, john, is not jordan not going through on this first vote, but theres more no votes from republicans than perhaps anybody was expecting here so far. John yeah, nine looks like at last count, three for scalise, three for mccarthy, two for lee zelden, and one for mike garcia, doesnt look like jim jordan will get it on the first vote. The big question, how many votes are we going to go through before jim jordan is Elected Speaker or go to backup plan number two, lets bring in chad pergram on capitol hill. Hes been watching all of this. If not jordan, chad, then who and when . Well, what we want to know is does jim jordan and do republicans stand behind having a second ballot. By rule you have supposed to go to a second ballot immediately but these are different circumstances, a level of desperation in congress trying to get a speaker because of the last two weeks, whats going on in the middle east, they cant vote on anything. But right now that delta, even though we are still relatively early in the Roll Call Vote as you stated, jim jordan does not have the math. You know, the magic number today was going to be 216. L there is a total of 432 members, let me check something here, 216 was going to be the number here, there is one absent who is for jim jordan, hes not here right now, and so you draw down the number as to how many people you needed for Somebody Voting for candidates by name. And right now you have several votes for Steve Scalise, several votes for Kevin Mccarthy, you have votes for mike garcia, a republican of california. Is this just a protest vote by the members who dont like jim jordan or think Steve Scalise was treated rather poorly by his republican colleagues last week after he got the nomination and do they they say all right, its not going to be jim jordan. I was told this morning if jim jordan could not wrap this up on the first or second ballot, some may say its time to move on, lets do something else. And i would direct you to what mike kelly drafted a resolution to empower the speaker protem, Patrick Mchenry to be the Acting Speaker to get on with business in the house, fubd the government next month, addressing the crisis in the middle east. They cannot do any of these things until they get a speaker. The question is whether or not jim jordan wants to continue to push the issue. He has the same problem Kevin Mccarthy had. He has by far and away most of the republican conference. Thats the issue. But can he get over that delta. Its a very special mixture of votes that you need to have to become Elected Speaker of the house. And we dont know the magic number. Until they get through the entire alphabet, dont know how many people will cast ballots. Ken buck, republican from california who expressed in the past 24 hours some problems he had with jim jordan and for that matter, Steve Scalise, he did not vote when his name was called. You had don bacon, the republican from nebraska who certainly was upset at the treatment that Steve Scalise got. He was the first one out of the ballot here and he voted for Kevin Mccarthy. At one point i asked him last night, the alphabetically, and the first up to vote and wished he had a z, but he was the first one out of the batch here. Unless something changes or members vote present, if they were to switch their vote, which they can, or present, diminishes the threshold you need to vote for speaker that would lower the threshold. And some point what you have, and this is me reading the tea leaves, could you have maybe some members say okay, lets vote, even though we are for jim jordan, do we vote present that lowers the threshold. Thats possible, although they are doing it in realtime. Sometimes its hard parlimentarily to call a play like that, like a play on the football field, but maybe say ok, lets go to a second ballot and try again if john and sandra, they think the votes are in range. Sandra as you have been speaking, there are some House Members who are saying that they are aware apparently that several of the members will change their votes in the next go around from yes to no. If theres a second round here coming up. Dave joyce, republican from ohio, stayed quiet on his vote. Missed his name in the roll call. John james missed his name in the roll call. Make it up in the back end. So, we are left wondering what happens next here, chad, and if indeed perhaps you are going to tell me it looks more unlikely by the minute they will go directly into a second roll call here. I think thats a decision they have to make on the fly. I mean, we saw what happened with Kevin Mccarthy where you had a clear nominee who was, what was in the range of getting to the votes, time after time again. Sometimes 2 and 3 Roll Call Votes a day. This is a little different if maybe they think ok, these members are getable, this was a protest vote, take a time out, put names into nomination and do it again. The flip side, you may harden the opposition, people really against jim jordan or what you could do is by forcing the issue the phone calls start to come, the emails start to come in. I cannot begin to characterize the level of pressure that is about 40 feet away from me inside the House Chamber right now because they will really start to work on the folks, crack knuckle, twist arms, they talk about it on capitol hill all the time, they rarely do it. This could be one of the instances where they do, they say we are in a desperate situation here, we dont have a functioning House Of Representatives and we need to get a Speaker Of The House. But could some of those members be turned or do they harden their position . Sandra, the flip side, if they were to take a time out and help jim jordan, recalibrate, talk to these people and say what do you need, what could we do to make it better or does the timeout make the dissention grow. Thats a hard scenario to read right now. It could go either way, and the fact they have not had a Speaker Of The House for two weeks. We have not been in this position since 1849, how cobb was speaker after a twoweek hiatus. He won on the 63rd Roll Call Vote. The house has not been voting. This is the first Roll Call Vote for speaker since they deposed Kevin Mccarthy two weeks ago today, sandra and john. John all right, and when you take a look at it, a little past the halfway mark it would look, nobody has voted present yet, but we do have four votes for scalise, five for mccarthy, and four others that would be garcia and zelden. Lets bring in our chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner byron, i dont. Two weeks without a speaker here, when are they going to get this done . You know, right now i think we shouldnt underplay the importance of emotion in this vote right now. Because the people who are voting against jim jordan, they were angry with how Kevin Mccarthy was treated. And then they were angry with how Steve Scalise was treated and they are not going to let jim jordan sail through on the first ballot. Maybe theyll vote for him later. Maybe this could change later. But this is almost a statement they are making of how unhappy they are. At the same time, they are also likely to be in that caucus that says this is crazy, this is embarrassing, we need a speaker, lets move on so that ultimately they would be more likely to vote for him. So im going to look to see if after a ballot or two some of them are going to say we made our point and now lets elect jordan speaker. Sandra really interesting here. So now the tally, 13 house republicans, byron, have voted against jim jordan. The emotions of the moment is an interesting observation, with many standing up. Casting their votes with enthusiasm or lack thereof. Byron, what do you think is going to happen here . I mean, chad is saying its really sort of an unprecedented moment, we cant really predict a second vote, but if he has now 13 by last tally, 13 republicans in the no category for jordan, its probably unlikely that they would move into a second round here. I think so. I think what we have seen in this first ballot, there are more no votes than i was thinking would happen, we are at now 13 no votes. And if you were, a lot of speculation ahead of time, that the people who would be against jim jordan would be called the moderates in the house, versus the Bomb Throwers in the house who deposed Kevin Mccarthy. The idea was the Bomb Throwers were hard core, vote against Kevin Mccarthy, bring down the house no matter what the consequences were and the feeling about the moderates was they would cave at some point, they would say this is crazy, the house needs to go on, we dont really jim jordan is not our first or our second choice, but we really need to move on and get a speaker. Now, what we are seeing now is a stronger display of opposition than some had thought, and i think clearly chad was saying, you know, its either going to get stronger or weaker after this first vote and we are going to have to wait and see. John Kevin Mccarthy was not pure enough, scalise was not pure enough, if jordan is not acceptable, where do they go next, tom emmer or Somebody Else . It happens in politics when you have two candidates in a death match and neither one of them gets in a death match and Somebody Else does. The possibility chad was talking about actually changing the rules a bit and letting Patrick Mchenry stay on as speaker protem with some of the powers of the speakership, i think that would take a lot of democratic input to do. But it might be a possibility if somebody says look, we are having so much trouble getting a speaker, do we have to have a Speaker Of The House to do some of the things that we need or is it a roadblock we simply cannot get around, no way, no how, cannot address the israelhamas situation, cant address ukraine aid, cant address a Government Shutdown coming down the tracks. We cant do any of that until we have a speaker. So, this is going to be very, very tense and very emotional but i wouldnt be surprised to see possibility of a third candidate coming out of somewhere. Sandra byron, if you could stand by on the Breaking News, we are looking live on capitol hill, the vote continues, unlikely jim jordan will win the speakership on the first vote at least. Chad, what do you know . Nothing is ever final until its final. Again, when they go through the Roll Call Votes, until they go back through the alphabet, remember, i noted that ken buck, the republican from colorado did not vote, so hell get to vote at the end and also ask if members want to change their vote. So while it appears unlikely right now that you know, jim jordan is going to wrap this up on the first ballot and this would compel them to go to a second ballot, you could have members maybe, maybe keep the vote open, have some Horse Trading in the chamber there, some arm twisting, and maybe, you know, try to rally the troops. Say ok, you made your point, can you vote for jordan or can you switch to present. I would never rule that out in these circumstances because this has been so wild over the past couple of weeks. Some of these members are absolutely opposed to jim jordan. I talked to one member last night who indicated they thought how Steve Scalise was treated by the jordan people was disqualifying, so based on my conversation with that member they didnt think they would ever get that particular member. But one wonders, again, this is being played live on the field, this is like a sporting event, you dont know what is truly going to happen until they go to that final gun. Until they blow that whistle, this vote is live. This vote is hot and those members could be persuaded, are they persuadeable, that is an unknown. That would be the test of jim jordan and his power potentially if hes going to be an effective Speaker Of The House to be able to bring those people across the finish line at the last minute. That was one of the knocks that mario diasbilart said after Steve Scalise got the nomination the other day, jim jordan threw his support to Steve Scalise and the jordan people didnt follow. How strong a leader is he . That tells the level of control over the members, so does jim jordan have enough political juice to whether it be on the floor while the Roll Call Vote is still open or afterwards or later tonight or tomorrow to bring those folks across the floor, that remains to be seen, john and sandra. John all right. Chad, i get the sense wherever you go to the horse races you put a couple of bucks on the long shot just for fun. You are right about that. John now this. We feel we will die every minute, every second. We hope we are still alive. We have today unlike the holocaust, a state, army and people that can fight back. The president believes this is the right time to go to israel. I dont like he is coming here, doesnt need to come here, doing it for the election. Hes stopping us now from revenge and we need revenge. Sandra our coverage continues of the war in the middle east. Waiting an update this hour from the pentagon, after 2,000 american troops are placed on standby for a possible deployment to the war. Heightened state of readiness for thousands of troops comes as the pentagon is sending thousands of marines to the coast as the u. S. Looks to deter iran and hezbollah from widening the conflict. John President Biden is set to fly to israel to show solidarity with americas closest ally in the middle east. Questions are growing at home or a new Bombshell Report that found more than 1 billion of u. S. Taxpayer money has been sent to a u. N. Group that may have passed that money over to hamas. Sandra, by and large, a fairly quiet day today but did get a lot hotter this evening. Our alerts have been going off mostly around tel aviv and the cities south. A couple of missiles that made it through the iron dome. One hit in the neighborhood of roshon, south of tel aviv, no injuries in that. Another missile hit in the city of sderot, very close to gaza. We had the commander here to speak with the Israeli Defense minister and the important trip President Joe Biden tomorrow comes on the heels of the german chancellor here today and now announcements the british Prime Minister and the french president will travel to israel as we await the beginning of the much anticipated Ground Operation in gaza. Sandra and the president will st
