Mccarthy. for him it s a personal dislike thing. he doesn t trust him and i think he ll never vote for him. but for other members you could argue the motion to vacate could be enough to move them. many of these committee posts as well. some could switch to yes on mccarthy and the important thing now is talks are happening. earlier this week on tuesday mccarthy went into a house gop conference meeting and tried to turn against the freedom caucus, attack them. that did not turn out too well. now we re seeing a different approach. mccarthy allies and these some of these 20 no votes are talking. they re exchanging proposals, this is progress to mccarthy, some of these people are movable but there still are, you know, a number who will never support mccarthy no matter what and that s really based more on personal animosity and trust than in my opinion any substantive policy or rules issue. well, mccarthy s got a little under seven hours before the next vote is scheduled so he s got some ....

Moment. that will be the time in which kevin mccarthy, if he loses more votes, if he does not make progress, will face more questions about his path to the speakership. they hope between now and then a deal can be iced. i asked mccarthy, can you get the deal tomorrow? he said i don t want to put any time frame on it. he said talks have been productive. he is confident they are moving in his direction. want to go to melanie who has new information. there are some glimmers of hope. we have evidence to back that up. chip roy, who has been in the negotiations with mccarthy allies and mccarthy holdouts, told gop leadership he believes he can bring along ten members as long as the negotiations pan out. he also said he believes there are additional holdouts who might be willing to vote present. of course, that is a big if. they would have to have these negotiations be successful. then all those ten members would have to vote yes. even if that were to happen, if we were to see movement, do ....
0 i don t think voting tonight is productive. let people work more. reporter: in a positive sign from mccarthy, some of the opponents came out sounding positive, including scott perry of pennsylvania sounded that he said talks had been productive as well as congressman chip roy. they had been asking for more sway over the speakership. some of them had asking to encourage mccarthy s super pac to stay out of certain primaries. they did agree to do that. that may have won some. his path, very narrow. there are at least four republicans who are almost certainly going to vote against him. they absolutely will not vote for kevin mccarthy, including matt gaetz. he can only look forward to lose four republican votes. one more says they will not vote for him, mccarthy cannot get there, which is why these talks are so critical, expected to continue through tonight until tomorrow. the house reconvenes at that time. he had given up a lot to get the votes he has gotten thus far. how much mo ....
They re doing somewhat of a conference meeting on the house floor without having to do the motion to adjourn. i think if they go right into this sixth vote, the key vote you want to look at is ken buck. is ken buck going to stick with kevin mccarthy on this sixth vote or live up to what he said a few minutes ago on air with you and vote for someone else? if he votes for someone else, then i would expect the motion to adjourn, and i would expect republicans to sit down and talk about these things. it s interesting that, you know, you re starting to see the conversation that played out on the house familiar come to fruition, and when you looked at some of the conversations that were happening in the background just now on the house floor, you have mccarthy allies like gary palmer talking to those who voted no. what are they talking about? i would suggest they re talking about what do you need? what type of rules change do you need to make sure you can get to yes? this is the last effort, ....
