the new republican majority in the us house of representatives has started in disarray with hard line. conservatives blocking kevin mccarthy from becoming speaker after 3 failed votes. the house adjourned, hoping to regroup on wednesday, is the 1st time since 1923. that of a took more than one ballot. john hendrick reports from capitol hill. it was a picture of republican chaos for the 1st time in a century. members had to vote for the speaker of the us house of representatives more than once and still after 3 times failed to produce a winner. a speaker has not been elected. a group of dissatisfied right wing republicans in the house. freedom caucus had a list of demands, easy removal of the speaker or prime committee assignments in fiscal conservatism. and to highlight them, they banded together to block would be house speaker kevin mccarthy might the day

begin as it has every 2 years for 200 years. there were no nation offering, i rise to day to nominate the gentleman from california. kevin mccarthy, a came jeffries of new york. there were votes. mccarthy, jeffries, mccarthy, jeffries. but even with the votes counted no $11.00 again and again tore, and again inside the capital and at the white house, democrats, including president biden, watched the embarrassment of their political rivals. he's just not going to insert himself, he's going to let the process play out and continue to do the, the work of the american people. and they cheer democrat hakim jeffries, the honorable hacking jeffries of the state of new york, has received 212 who came out on top in all 3 ballots, but not with the majority needed to win this speakership. the voting has

a long way to go to beat the record. in 1856. the house picked a speaker after a $133.00 ballads in 2 months. the new speaker will have a razor thin majority and little ability to pass legislation with a democratic senate and a democratic president is mccarthy and his allies regroup and hopes of winning another day. the rebels marked the day as a victory and proof of their power in a clearly divided party. john henderson, l g 0. capitol hill. well, here's how kevin mccarthy react to adopt or what's been described as a difficult day to day. is that the day i wanted to have? no, i mean there was a lot of things we want to do. we want to repeal 87000 iris. we want to set up the number investigation going to want to notice the different committee hearings we have actually on the board. none of that got transpired, but if we're able to work out our differences and take this time, you'll only be stronger to be able to conquest. thank one. so meanwhile,

incoming democratic liter hacking jeffries is making history as the 1st black politician to head a major party in congress. he had this to say about the turmoil in the republican party. sad day for democracy. it's a sad day for the american people. house democrats are unified, ready, willing, and able to get to work on behalf of every day americans. we are prepared to try to find common ground with the other side of the aisle to solve problems on behalf of the american people. but we don't have a willing partner, adolfo franko is a republican strategist, he says, fractures and the party have been building up to this for years. there are 2 republican parties, one is an establishment party type of mccarthy's. part of that is conservative. donald trump, president trump supports kevin mccarthy for the speakership,

and the vast majority of republicans beyond with freedom, kaka support president trump, but it has to do with a faction that's been really building since 2010 in the united states was called the tea party initially and then it became has freedom caucus, other anti establishment there, sort of the trump brand. of course, they are the people that want to change washington dc including the republican party. so there is the rub. in 2015, kevin mccarthy sought the speakership and was actually turned back of at that time as a viable candidate by the same block. this, that view him as an establishment republican of the problem here. it's 5 votes and there are at least 2025 members that are really anti establishment republicans. what's unprecedented though is the following. for my time in the house of representatives, i worked there when we had a 6 seat majority very similarly to this situation. but the conference itself really, the republican members met privately,

85 percent of them support kevin mccarthy. and 20 years ago there were viable candidates that were of buying for the speakership before denny hastert was selected. and there was a respect for the majority. what's happened and changed in the last 1015 years is this small faction just doesn't care about the republican party. they care about their cause, and they're holding the speakership hostage. we will see scenarios similar to this on the debt ceiling on major preparations, bills, defense spending, things of that kind were 5 members, can create enormous chaos in the house. and eventually what this might lead to, ironically is a coalition between democrats and more moderate republicans. ah, and that would make to the republican brand israel's far right. security minister is mar, bank via has made what's been called up provocative intrusion into the aisle. ok. some mosque compound, palestinians,
