State of ohio receive 200 votes. Hakeem jeffries at the state of new york has received 212 votes. [applause] jim jordan rejected as speaker in spite of the maga shakedown. We have a few sensitive, a little snowflakes in congress. Tonight, why the next vote has been delayed, and why democrats are keeping their options open. There are republicans who are respected on our side of the aisle, jim jordan is not one of them. And then the scene in gaza, where each side is blaming each other for it at the Hospital Blasts that has killed hundreds. And as President Biden departs for the region, what we know about what happens next, between israel and hamas, when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. The Republican Party spent the entire day today trying to install a chief coup plotter, a speaker of the house and second in line to the presidency. Congressman jim jordan of ohio received at the partys nomination for speaker last week, after asking speaker Kevin Mccarthy 14 days ago, and the party failed to secure enough votes to elevate majority leader Steve Scalise. This afternoon, republicans took the vote on jim jordan to the house floor, where he received 200 yes votes. That is 17 shy of the number he needed to secure a majority. That was actually a significant improvement for jordan, closing the gap from 35 votes, from the results of his secret bail out on friday from inside the conference. Jordan and his allies but the rest of the day trying to convince members to get behind him. Jordan even met with his former rival, Steve Scalise, seeking his backing and his help with getting votes. His team says he supports jordan, one source familiar with that meeting told msnbc news that they were unconvinced that scalises support will remain consistent. After a lot of back and forth, republicans decided to postpone another vote until tomorrow, while jordan told reporters to keep going until they elect a speaker. How many rounds are you willing to go to . Until we get a speaker. Youve got to have a speaker, it cant be something where the democrats. We had the republicans and a majority, a small majority, i get it, but 200 votes in the first ballot, was right about where kevin was. Thats 201. Amid all the wheeling and dealing, the goal for the House RepublicanLeadership Today remain clear, what they want to do, i dont know if they will be successful, frankly. What they want to do is give control of one half of u. S. Congress to achieve of their twice impeached fourtime runner for the president ial nomination. Jim jordan and donald trump work together. They were partners of a sore in their attempt to end americas Constitutional Republic to overturn the election against the will of the people. The house january Six Committee described jordan as a, quote, significant player and trumps effort. And the final report, the committee explains that Jordan Paicipated in numerous postelection meetings, in which senior white house officials with giuliani and others discussed strategies for challenging the election. Jordan publicly challenged the Election Results for pushing trumps lie about election fraud. Something does not feel right here. Our president got 9 million more votes this time done four years ago, yet, he comes up short, even though we gained seats in the house of representatives, something does not feel right. Four days before january six, jim jordan led a conference call, in which he and then President Trump and other members ofcongress, listen to this, discussed strategies for delayingthe joint session of congress, that would be the joint session on the six that passes power from one administration to the next. The group also discussed the issue and social media posts encouraging Trump Supporters to march to the capitol on january six. We know how that turned out. Jordan also had multiple oneonone Phone Conversations with trump, and 18 minute call on january 2nd and at least two separate calls on january six. We know one of those took place around 9 30 that morning and lasted for ten minutes. That is according to the White House Daily diary. Take a listen to how jordan responded when asked about the substance of their conversation. Yes or no, did you speak with President Trump on january six . Yeah, i spoke with the president last week. I speak with the president all the time. I spoke with him on january six. I spoke with general trump all the time. I dont think that is unusual. I would expect members of congress to talk with the president of the United States when they are trying to get done the things that they told the voters that their district to do. I am actually kind of amazed that people keep asking this question. Of course, i dont think the president all the time. Like you said, i talked to him last week. Of course, jim jordan is one of the 147 republican lawmakers who returned to the House Chamber a. N. A. On january six, after they had fled the violent sacking at the capitol, taken to another location under the protection of the u. S. Capitol police, and then they came back into that ransacked chamber, where he and others voted in favor of Donald Trumps coup. Vice chairwoman of the january Six Committee, republican liz cheney, recently warned us against jim jordan because of his track record. What a Jordan Speakership would mean for her party. Jim jordan knew more about what donald trump had planned for january six than any other member of the house of representatives. Jim jordan but was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which donald trump was engaged, as he attempted to overturn the election. If the republicans decide that jim jordan should be the speaker of the house, there will, and i by the way, i dont think that will happen. I think you lose, but if they were to decide that, there would no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected republicans could be counted on to defend the constitution. Liz cheney and the general Six Committee did try to make jim jordan answered those questions about what exactly they would be doing, what theyre talking about and the issue of a subpoena. He refused to comply with the congressional subpoena. The committee then referred him to the house ethics committee. Of course, jordan, who wants to lead the institution, has faced no accountability for violating its mandates. Instead, 200 members of his party, the vast majority, voted to elevate that man the speaker of the house, and the role he played in the January 6th Coup is his main qualification for the job. Lets be clear, not in spite of it but because of it. Jim jordan has been in congress for 16 years. He never had a bill on the side of the law. He does not win votes. He has no great relationship within the republican conference. Jim jordan is the partys choice for speaker, at least for now, because donald trump wants his lackey to hold the gavel, so that he can take other run at it. According to new reporting, The Pro Trump Maga wing of the party is exerting a lot of pressure to make that thing happen. Axios reports of a massive push to get House Republicans to unify around jim jordan, including calls to offices, conservative tv host ramping up the pressure on skeptics and a Maga Influencers Taking Aim at hesitate members on social media. They also obtained this no, a producer from fox news for sean hannity emailed to republican congressional staffers over the weekend, quote, sources tell hannity, that the representative is not supporting jim jordan for speaker, can you please let me know if this is accurate, and if true, hannity would like to know why, during a war breaking out between israel and hamas, the war in ukraine, a budget unfinished, white with the representative be against him shorten for speaker . Please let us know, when the representative plans on opening peoples house of the work can be done. Get back to me whenever, we are just asking questions. Its a limping operation. One of the most powerful forces and conservative politics, a network that until recently, am i remembering this collectively, paid nearly 800 million to settle a lawsuit about its own involvement in the coup is bullying individual members for donald trump and jim jordan so that the coup team can get back together, wheeling their power. The message here is that sean hannity if you cross the leader of our party and the chosen speaker. Now, i guess i understand why they are doing it. We know that these kinds of attacks work. Its been pretty effective, time and time again. We have seen republican members say, we dont want this to be the direction that the party is headed, weve descended further and further into any democratic madness and dysfunction. But the vast majority never seemed to have any ability to hold their ground, to use their leverage. They just retreat, and they cave, over and over and over and over again. This entire to buckle around the speakership has been more of the same. The party allowed a small rightwing vanguard to sow utter chaos. Whether it was cowardice, incompetence or a miserable combination of the two, the Republican Party as the finish and worst off, and the american democracy even more there and. Joining me now for the latest is nbc news correspondent atlanta, i feel like there was a lot of projections of confidence this weekend from andy jordan crew. How did it all play out today . They would tell you that it played out pretty much according to plan, and i think that there is a little bit of that that is correct, which is i dont know anyone except for former speaker Kevin Mccarthy, and i had doubts about his vote counting operation, who said that jim jordan would get this on the first ballot. Nobody else said that was in the cards. Clearly, as we saw on the floor today, that is exactly what happened. Jim jordan did not have the votes. Here is the thing though, there were the people that we were expecting to vote against jordan, people like ken buck, people like mario diazbalart. All of those people came through in a way that we thought they would. But then there are the problems that i dont think the jordan team saw coming, and many of us were caught off guard by as well. I know some democrats who thought that when the chairwoman of the committee, grainger, voted against jordan, they thought that she might have made a mistake. That is a pretty important key vote not to have seen coming, and it does spell signs of deeper trouble for jordan. Of course, whos spending these important hours in an overnight period tried to talk to members who say that they are against him. There are some cohorts who have dug in. I think its important to point out in your introduction here, is how many different pieces this touches. When reporters on capitol hill talk about the fact that january six looms large over everything, the reason why there is such a partisan divide within the building, the reason why lawmakers have such a lack of trust between the parties, specifically, democrats towards republicans, its because of january six, and its because of the way that the House Republican majority has moved more into the molds of the 147 people who voted to decertify the Election Results and go against the will of the american people. That is a feature, not a bug of the House Republican majority, and i think that is important to keep in mind, that keeping the election lies alive is a critical part of jordan keeping parts of this conference on board, even today. One of the people who voted against him, congressman ken buck, said that all he wanted to hear from jordan, or one of the things he wanted was the here that jordan knew that biden actually won the election, that it was not stolen. And it seemed as if this morning, the last time i spoke to jim jordan, he could not tell can bump that, and he certainly would not call us reporters that, as we were asking about it. I think thats an important piece that they need to keep track of, in addition to the fact that jordan has other votes that he is trying to win that he cant get to. The other thing that strikes me, chris, in your introduction, is the idea that moderates within this Country Conference can say that they have problems with jordan, and certainly, its a couplet vote to have to go back to my hometown in new york, for example, where is the representative now. Its a tough area to be defending, but they fold it. Any eight of them could have stuck together the way that we have seen hardens do it, and they have not. Thats an excellent point. They have all the leverage here, in the same way to a small group of a well organized vanguard have leverage in the first speaker vote, and they have leverage and the motion to vacate. Mike waller, who has not been shy. Hes talking to every reporter she sees, hes very pressured it and angry at matt gaetz, he couldnt whipping of his own and actually completely be determined of the outcome with a caucus of a people in biden districts, for instance, like mike waller. Well see if he has it in him, or hell complain and roll over. We will see. Ali vitali, as always, and thats according, thank you. Congressman jamie raskin is a democrat, he served on the january Six Committee as the Ranking Member of the oversight committee. He joins us now. How much, how much insight do you and your caucus have into what is happening now . We were having a conversation today, we were really a pass precedent here. It hasnt really happened, no one knows what happens next. We had a conversation about trying to get this out, its hard to say. What is your understanding . On the house floor on the democratic side, there were discussions today at the macro level and micro level. At the macro level, we are seeing this in the context of a series of attacks by the maga rules or ruling faction on the constitutional order, that began on january six, with the violent insurrection and attempted political coup to overthrow President Bidens victory in the Electoral College then went to the republicans trying to sabotage any investigation into what happened on january six. We know that Kevin Mccarthy pulled the plug on even their own plan for an outside bipartisan commission, and then we went from there to an attempted default on the debts at the United States. We went from there to an attempt to shut down the United States, and now, they are trying to install one of the critical pro insurrection Trump Coup Actors in the house, if not the key one, as the speaker of the house. Its a remarkable moment. In terms of the daily back and forth, the inset machiavellian moves, we get secondhand. We are not there in the republican conference, but i will tell you that many of us were told on the way in today that at most, the gop defectors amounted to around ten or a dozen, and they got 20 votes. I think that, they were planning to go to the second or third ballot today. Obviously, the pro jordan forces needed at least a day or night to try to be prudent to go after the large number of unexpected votes against them. I should note that the democratic minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, got more votes than jim jordan did today. In fact, if it were a First Past The Post election, he would be speaker. That is not how it works, its a u. S. Constitution. Here is what Hakeem Jeffries said about bipartisan conversations happening about resolving the speakership crisis. Lets take a listen. I have no meetings planned with mchenry, highlevel members on the democratic side of the aisle, i am willing and able to have those conversations. They have been ongoing conversations that have been undertaken the last few days. I think its a possibility. Those can accelerate, now that jim jordan clearly is does not have the votes to be speaker. Would you be open to some kind of pack, some kind of deal struck to elect a speaker that was a republican, but in exchange for some sort of demands on rules or a vote on a cr or Something Like that . Obviously, we favor Hakeem Jeffries. This was the 16th time that we voted unanimously and passionately for Hakeem Jeffries. Hes a super well organized, efficient, effective leader, and you can take him at his word. He is totally trustworthy. If we cant get six republicans to come to our site, i said it from the beginning, there are a number of republicans that i can support on the Principle Power sharing basis, assuming that our caucus were to endorse that. We operate as a caucus, were not out there wheeling and dealing on our own. One of the things that i have said from the beginning, is that liz cheney would be a perfect choice, herself. She was the chair of the republican conference. She was the number three republican for several years, a very very conservative republican, but she believes in the constitutional order. We trust her. Mitt romney is another name that has been floated, someone we can trust. Angus king, the independent from maine is another person that we can look at. A lot of my colleagues, chris, come from states where there have been state legislative power sharing arrangements, where gavels are shared, have at the committee is the one side, have to the other. The parties can take turns holding the gavel during
