control room to pull you have a live shot of the house floor. this is happening. we re about halfway through the alphabet. you see the shot of former house speaker, nancy pelosi. 14 members so far. 15 members so far have chosen somebody other than mccarthy. the vote is not final. the vote is not gavelled, however, if this holds, he will not be speaker for time number two. ali, what happens for time number three? what s the next card to play? that s the next question especially as you have members like chip roy of texas vowing he will still continue to hold mccarthy to a count on a whole list of concessions that he s been trying to get the leader to make over the course of the last few weeks and months. they have made inroads here. these members like roy. who chairs those committees and has prioritized for them, but especially to this idea of the motion to vacate. it s a move that would weaken the speaker and make it easier to oust members. mccarthy holding to a compromise i
I will ask my generals to present to me a plan within 30 days to defeat and destroy isis. This will require military, cyberand financial warfare as i laid out on my speech on Defeting Radical Islamic Terrorism several weeks ago. Instead of an apology tour, Which You Saw president obama give over and over again, i will proudly promote our system of government and our way of life as the best in the world, just like we did in our campaign against communism during the cold war. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton got some help out there on the Campaign Trail from former president , bill clinton at a Campaign Stop in florida. He said, even Republicans Trust Hillary Clinton to keep the country safe. I can never remember a democratic candidate for president that had as many prominent republicans endorsing her as hillary has had. In view of all the attacks on her, i think it is very interesting that the overwhelming majority of them said they are doing it because they trust her with the Na
what really stands out to me today is the juxtaposition, the unity on the democratic side of the aisle. not even nancy pelosi would get unanimous support for speaker the way jeffries is getting. democratic leadership just went through an entire transition of their leadership team without any kind of chaos or any kind of fanfare. then look at the juxtaposition with republican leadership in the senate where you have mitch mcconnell becoming the longest serving leader in congressional history, at the least in senate history. the steadyness and stability of mcconnell juxtaposed to what we re seeing from house republicans today. but at the end of the day, this is not new. this is what john boehner and paul ryan went through. not in such a dramatic way, but this is really the culmination of a lot of the chaos that has been the house republican conference for the last decade or so. it s very obvious and dramatic
if democrats don t have a way to talk about it, they will lose next year no matter how successful the biden economic agenda is. they ll be at a huge disadvantage in the midterms because that s where a lot of these fights are going to get waged. president biden can do it. i got the sort of word back today that he s been through, you know, extraordinary things, both high-end on the tragic end in his life so the highs never get too high and what you re describing at the beginning, this composure, steadyness. his campaign was animated by restoring the soul of our country. it will be interesting to see if he starts talking to that more than getting the progressives and manchin in a room. john heilemann, i wanted to talk to you it s been a long time since we ve heard that and i think you re right. joe biden needs to find his way back home to some of those themes that animated the
taxes, but they have the federal money to be able to do that. states continue to have access to a wide array of support like help for schools that are reopening, help for childcare centers to make them available and affordable, and other resources to help our economy get back to normal. the measures we ve taken so far have brought america out of an economic freefall, steadyness and enable us to grow our economy even as we continue to combat covid. we are adding jobs, not losing them. the fight against covid today is far different from the fight we were waging last winter. the second thing that has to happen in september is for the congress, the house and senate to finish the job of passing my economic agenda so we can keep up the historic momentum we ve been building these last seven months. it s about investing in
