well the house voting tonight to adjourn in till noon tomorrow. that sounds a little familiar, right? it also buys time for more negotiations to take place behind closed doors, as kevin mccarthy suffered five more defeat today for a total now of 11. so what is going to happen in just a few hours? how is that going to change things? we've not seen the progress yet. plus we have new news on the buffalo bills damara hamlin, he is awake and making remarkable progress just three days after he collapsed on the field in cardiac arrest during monday night football. the nfl has officially canceled that game, and cnn has newly-obtained audio from the moment hamlin clapped. >> he went down. >> i'll call.

>> [inaudible] >> more on this in a moment, but let's get right to the very latest on capitol hill. cnn's monumental mona is there tonight, you have some new reporting i understand with negotiations. any movement, what is going on? >> not quite yet, laura. all the negotiations have wrapped up for the night, the people who are in some of these key meetings have left the building, and not a single person who voted against kevin mccarthy on the house floor has said they are going to change their votes just yet. now kevin mccarthy did make an offer to these members, there is some sort of agreement on paper and some of the holdouts were invited to look at that and review it over. they have been doing that all throughout the evening, coming in and out, coming out various moments and looking at it. but looking out of all these meetings, they have been very

tightlipped. so they have not agreed just yet. kevin mccarthy is still projecting confidence, he is saying they are making progress, they did succeed in getting a motion to adjourn so that is a sign that at least republicans are willing to give themselves a little bit more time to try to get a deal. kevin mccarthy is saying there is no timeline that he is putting on himself to get to 18, but i should point out here that even if some of these critics do come out and support this deal, this offer that has been given to them, sources are telling them that it would only potentially bring along half of the 20 people who voted against kevin mccarthy, so doing the math there it still leaves kevin mccarthy short of 2:18. and then there is the potential that there is potentially four, five, maybe even six people who are never kevin and he can only lose four on the house floor, so that could be a major major problem for kevin mccarthy. so progress is being made, it looks, like but it is still unclear as to what the path to the final victory is. >> so whatever is on this piece of paper, essentially, is it concessions that he's already

made today to? is it something else? it's just seeing it on paper makes people want to be persuaded all the more? >> we reported last night i want some of those concessions were, that includes going down on a motion to vacate, that is a call for a vote to posing the sitting speaker. that is going to mean that the power of any single member to call for, that so that is something that they agreed to last night. they agreed to put more conservatives on committees, there is promises about policy, promises about votes, there are a ton of things that are in the mix right now. but really, they just wanted to get panda paper, is what we were told. so even though a lot of these negotiations took place last night they wanted to get them written down to try to get more of a promise and a commitment, and that is what members were going in looking at tonight. but laura, i can tell you that in talking to senior republicans who are on some of these committees that would be impacted by these concessions, there is a lot of concern that mccarthy is giving away the store and still going to get nothing and can return. the reason why that is problematic is because of kevin mccarthy does drop out at all of these promises have been made, the --

the two faces out of the tube there. whoever's going to step in and try to run is going to be beholden of those same concessions, so what a lot of republicans are wondering right now is is there someone right now, in this moment, who could get to 18 without having to give away all of these concessions? so that is kind of the question that they are starting to come to republicans minds as kevin mccarthy's top failed to get the votes. >> melanie, thank you so much for your reporting. it is so borne of your insight and reporting tonight. i want to bring in congressman brad schneider, into the conversation. you heard from my colleague melania, about the importance of putting it on paper, but if it is just on paper and they are still saying now, are we just going to be here indefinitely? >> i think that is the 64,000 dollar question. we have had 11 votes already in every single one of those 11 votes, hakeem jeffries has received 212. every democrat is here and voting for akeem jeffries because we are united. on the republicans side they've gone from 20320 2 to 2 a 1 to

200. he's giving more moral way, as melanie said giving away the store, and yet he is losing votes and not picking up votes. as she said, not just for our democrats concerned, you are seeing more republicans concerned that they are giving too much and getting nothing and where is actually us when they come back into the session tomorrow? >> do you have concerns in the long run that what is happening right now in the concessions, but really the weakening of the power of speaker, would possibly impact democrats in the future? >> well my hope and expectation is that democrats are going to continue to be the party that wants to govern. we showed in the last congress with the same five seat majority that the republicans have today, we were able to pass historic legislation from the american rescue plan to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the pact act, chips, inflation reduction act, all done with the majority. we show that we can govern. we come back into power into, you will see democrats going back to the type of rules that get things done as opposed to the chaos that we are seeing on the floor today, which is just precursor of what we can expect

for the next two years. >> speaking of getting things done, i'm sure that if democrats were to extend, not necessarily a life preserver or life raft, but some assistance to the republicans, that more could happen in terms of getting that number. i do not see any indication that democrats are in anyway incentivized to do so. is there anything that would cause democrats to assist the republican endeavor to elect a speaker? >> so the republicans have a majority, they have 222 seats, they should be able to select their speaker, but they are divided, they are fighting amongst each other. out in public, on the floor of the house for the american people to see. kevin mccarthy and his desperation to become speaker is giving everything to the most extreme members of the republican party, what i would love to see is for the republicans to look across the aisle, if we are going to get anything down that is going to stand the test of time, not just in this congress but in every congress, it is reaching across the aisle and finding solutions that serve the entire nation. if we could find some way to do

that rather than to go to the extremes, bring the republicans back to the center, i think there would be a four conversation. but it is not gonna be helping the republicans for, free it would be democrats looking for roles on committees, ability to lead influence legislation, wanting to see us to move to govern and advance policies that help american people rather than these investigations are they are talking about. rather than theater, let's look at the work. >> are you hearing any offers for those sorts of rewards to come? >> no. if you are watching it on tv, mccarthy continues to go back to the same 20 people, who are saying we're not going to vote for you unless you give us more. he gives that more and then they do not vote for him again. they say we want, more a gives the more. we have 11 tries, maybe 12 will be the lucky number. maybe we'll be 13 or 14. he keeps trying to go and give them more and they keep telling him thank, you that is not enough. it would be so much better if we could find a way to bring

all of congress to, gathered to find that consensus. hakeem jeffries has demonstrated that he has the ability, kevin mccarthy has shown that he cannot unite his party in any way whatsoever. >> speaking of that consensus though, at some point assume that there is a speaker elected, it does not bode well that there is been an inability to bring a unify the republican caucus in a way, even as the majority, a very slim majority. do you have concerns that the same hard-liners that are the illustration of a hurdle for his endeavor to become speaker, will cause problems in the congress and not allow things to happen and be effective in the greater house? >> so in the last congress, many of these same 20 people were disruptive. they would call for votes where there was consensus, is they would try to do procedural moves like calling to adjourn. they are now the party the majority, they have actual control. and what they have extracted from the leader, from mccarthy,

is this one member can bring a motion to vacate the chair. every single day, mccarthy is going to have to go through what he's going through now. any one of those 20, or any one of the republican side could say no we don't like mccarthy, we want to vote for speaker. literally grind operations in the house to a halt. we need to do work for the american people, we have challenges, we have challenges our economy, education, health care, foreign policy, immigration. you can run down that list of things that people elected the representatives, all 4035, us to work. on what we've seen from the revoke republican so -- so far is that they cannot even get on the first day. they're three days in the don't even have a speaker. they are not able to take care of their constituents, we are representatives elected. we cannot introduce legislation, committees not, for not being hired, it's a real problem. >> are any concessions being made or offered on whatever papers being circulated that are attractive to democrats?

>> obviously have not seen what is being offered. >> on the issue of the motion to vacate. it was the idea of, having rank and file members having more agency to make amendments, is that something that would be attractive to democrats more broadly if it were not under the circumstances? >> i think what you're seeing on the republican side is a cynical effort to give a few minority, the most power. if we do more to open up the powerhouses, to allow people to introduce legislation and bring to the committee and have an opportunity to amend it, and bring it to the floor and have an opportunity debated, i think there's a broad consensus across the entire republican and democratic spectrum of members that we want to be able to do that. but, with the freedom caucus is asking for is their ability to bring everything to a halt or have them do it exactly their, way or to preclude people that they disagree with. not just democrats, but republicans that they do not

like in their own party, not to have the ability to have their input. we're seeing the tyranny of the very small minority of the republican party holding the entire, taos and this case the nation, hostage. >> really important to underscore that point. it is not just an esoteric exercise in watching the sausage being made, it has real world implications. thank you so much congressman. >> thank, you are being here. >> the negotiations are going on well into the night, although they seem to be reduced to paper and that may be circulated. so what can kevin mccarthy offer to get across the finish line and how much power, frankly, would he have left if he actually does realize the dream of becoming the speaker? hey, man. nice pace! clearly, yoyou're a safe driver. you could save hundreds for safe driving with l liberty mutual. they cusustomize your car insurance... ...so you ononly pay for what you need!

well the clock is ticking and kevin mccarthy's got to make a deal in a matter of hours, or face another humiliating round of votes. in what might be his last-ditch

attempt to become speaker of the house. joining me now is ex senior contributor, margaret collins, senior political al-nusra lopez, and former republican -- joe walsh. i'll give you the full -- one dimmock director of democracy -- will give you all of your respect. so let me ask you, when you think about this, it's a couple of hours going to help mccarthy get these numbers? is it really the behind the scene the, machinations of all of this will actually help him with these 20? >> i'm not sure we are going to have an answer by noon tomorrow, i don't think anybody at this table thank. so but the working theory is always been that there is some number between 20 and four or five that is the magic number, that if you get to that number everyone who is coalesced around mccarthy can start pummeling the other guys and pressuring them and saying, you do not have to vote for him but, please miss your flight back or

stay home or vote not present or whatever. we are not even there yet. i think by noon tomorrow, we will know with much more certainty whether we were going to get there, but that is where this is all heading. that group is never going to vote for him but they do not need to vote for him to become, speaker they just kind of need to walk, away and the question is are they going to get there? >> let's be clear, this is like a perfect storm. you've got a republican party that is pretty deradicalized, you have 68 members who would blow that chamber down if they could be on a tucker carlson show. but let's be real, kevin mccarthy, and i served with, him is a uniquely bad and untrustworthy candidate. >> tell me how you really feel. >> the fact that, if this is a test of his leadership and it is the second time that he is trying to be speaker, he is not doing real well. the fact that we are here like this. >> what does it say about those who have been able to govern? looking at pelosi and saying,

you can see how you are able to get this done, at least get to the part where legislating really begins. i wonder, laura, this seems very personal. obviously it is targeting cover mccarthy, but some of the 20 are getting criticized heavily about it being so personal. it is alleged -- the whole point of it is chaos. is that fair? >> i think that there are definitely number of them that say this is a personal, whether it is because they felt they were wronged by mccarthy as a underway during your primary, while they're running for reelection, and so that is something that has happened in the past. you just referred to the 2015 speaker chaos when john boehner speaker was ousted and then mccarthy again, for personal or partially personal reasons, it was also because he decide to publicly say that the benghazi committee was simply to go

after hillary clinton rather than to investigate the benghazi incident, that is partially why they don't vote for him but it was personal then to. now it is a mixture of personal, some of them not wanting to do basic government functions. they've outright said that mccarthy voted for government funding bills in the past, so i can't support them. that is scott perry, by the way, and election denier who also tried to overturn -- another key thing about when we're talking about basic government function is that these five core hard-liners, they are all election deniers. but they also all voted to overturn the election and i think that is a key point here, when we are talking about this culture that is grown within the republican congress. >> they're not persuaded by one of the main election deniers, donald trump. what does that tell you? >> it tells you a number of things, but it tells you number one that donald trump was not working that hard for it. number two, donald trump has

lost weight with this congress. and number three, it's not about trump, it's about them showing their base what they think their base wants to, here which is that they are against the establishment and they want to burn down the establishment. kevin mccarthy has become the ultimate establishment on the house side of the gop at this moment. but here is the flip side to all of this, you can argue why is mccarthy sticking around for constant humiliation, but he is not substantially lost votes over the course of the last three days. the overwhelming majority of his caucus has coalesced around him and is digging in now to support him, and i think the question that he is hoping is going to flip overnight and into tomorrow, which is to say if the overwhelming majority of the caucus is not abandoning him, why will these guys not come on board. the longer this goes on, it is less about mccarthy and he becomes a proxy for the establishment, and it becomes, well, if he backs down what is

going to happen to the next guy? the holdouts are not saying we are ready to coalesce around this other person who actually could win the majority and the caucus support. they are still in a standoff and he is waiting for them to blink, and as long as most republicans in the caucus support him he has the ability to do that. >> by the way, you mentioned this point as well, about the perception that some of the holdouts were slighted by him during the election process. i, mean the mccarthy pack has given $316,000 to those who are now opposing him. to the likes of scott perry, andy harris, michael cloud, andy biggs, matt gates, byron donalds, there are a number of people. anna pelino luna, you go down the list and all of these people have gotten some money from the pact. >> they catch the check. >> they cashed the check, but i didn't really want it.

but here's the thing, at some point will democrats have to be incentivized to do anything and will they ever look bad if they continue to take a hands off approach? is there any risk that this could actually be detrimental for the public perception of the democratic party? >> i would say no, and i still hold to the fact that the republican party created this mess. democrats would be well advised to leave them alone, this is their mess, make them own that. i think that is a tenable political position and a substantive position for the next two years. because laura, this just the beginning. democrats are going to be asked to help at every step along the way these next two years. >> there is some brewing animosity between some who are not at odds before, the likes of marjorie taylor greene and now laura boebert, listen to this. manu raju did catch up with marjorie taylor greene, the

congresswoman from georgia, and she is now expanding her colleague congresswoman lauren boebert. listen to. this >> i think the american people, no matter how you vote, are sick and tired of drama and this is nothing but drama. we are on multiple days now with multiple candidates from this group and so i'm not sure how laura boebert on one hand canned demand so much out of kevin mccarthy and then demand nothing out of somebody else and be willing to vote for them to the speaker. that is not serious, i do not think that is leadership and i really see it as more obstruction than as progress. >> drama. >> i think it would be a mistake to think that, even after this and even though they are on opposite ends on the mccarthy question for speaker, that they are somehow on different ends of the ideological spectrum. laura boebert and marjorie taylor greene are in the exact same part of the ideological spectrum within the republican party. their election buyers, staunch

trump supporters, they are both people who have really shown no interest in necessarily basic government functions at all, which we've talked about. so i would think that they would probably vote similarly on government funding bills, on debt limit bills. we've seen time and time again where marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert align on votes. >> this is the fork in the road, in other words? >> this is why it's such a mistake to look at these 20 as a fringe. the group is much bigger, they all want to investigate hunters laptop. they want to hang fauci. the group is much bigger than 20. >> the difference is tactical and strategic. the larger group says that we they want to do this stuff, but we cannot get to it until we are sworn in. and if marjorie taylor greene prevails and helps kevin mccarthy become an extremely weekend house, speaker she is going to be much more empowered than laura boebert or matt

gates. >> she is saying they can do that with kevin mccarthy as speaker, that is what marjorie taylor greene is saying. as opposed to laura boebert. >> it is a maga caucus. it's not just these 20, it's the beginning of it. >> stop coughing. >> so emotional, look at you. >> talk amongst yourselves. >> it's the eve of january 6th, and morrow as they reconvene it will be the two year anniversary and we all looked at 2022 and said there was been a bit of a reset, the public is sick of gamesmanship and they want to move on and they recognize legitimate results of the election, and just juxtaposing that moment with some of the moments of earlier today, donald trump using truth social to troll with his photo in which he is the macho speaker -- things in some ways, the country came out of january 6th

on a course correction. and then in some ways the course correction has not happened and. that still playing. out >> my earlier point, which actually gets this, 18 of those 20 are election deniers and even more than that there is a bunch on mccarthy side that our elections buyers. so again, to joe's point, baked into now the culture of this republican conference is that they are not necessarily interested in democracy or a fully functioning democracy all the time because there is dozens of people there who voted against certification. >> which is why again, laura, the most ironic thing about all of this is that it almost doesn't matter who the speaker is because we are still going to have all of the investigatory stuff, we're still going to have a debt limit. there is nothing any speaker can do to stop any of this >> there's a reckoning that has not been resolved, and will not be resolved with the obsession of the house speaker. >> is there a reckoning for my throat right now, anyone. >> a commercial break.

are you have some cautious but good news tonight about damara hamlin. doctors say the bill safety is awake, he's communicating with them and he's holding hands with his beloved family. he is, however, still critically ill. doctors say his condition has improved substantially in the past 24 hours. >> he's moving his hands and feet and again appears to be neurological intact with our

exam and neurology exhaust consultants exam, so you appears to be doing well. >> we are also learning tonight that the nfl will not continue that game between the buffalo bills and the cincinnati bengals and cnn has obtained new audio of medical personnel who are working the sidelines at the time that hamlin clapped. [inaudible] >> i need a medic in the back. >> a medic in the back of the? bus >> affirmative, where outside the gate.

>> [inaudible] wow, hearing that is so surreal. thinking about what transpired that day. a lot of talk with former nfl player marcus smith the and sports analyst christine brennan. i'm glad with both of you are here, i have to start with you marcus. we are hearing this and we are hearing, it is pretty calm at least at the outward appearance, the coordinated effort to save his life. we know that it has saved his life, that he is in critical condition.

but i'm wondering, what is like for you as a former player to have the knowledge that this is happening? what is this been like, even to seeing this play out? >> so for, me i think, as it was playing out i started to cry. that was the first thing that i did. i was grieving because of what happened because i know being a player and how it looks and how it may be perceived, i know how that feels. so for me i was crying, as emmeram i was looking at it like man, what's this guy's gonna life gonna be like after this. i'm just so after be to see that he's doing well, he's breathing, everything is going in the way that should be going. so for me, i am -- i just really believe that through playing in the nfl and seeing that this very traumatic -- we see these things, we do not realize that injuries,

concussions, all of those things play a huge part in us and how we perceive and look at the game. so, for me, it was heartbreaking but i am just so happy to get that too. >> i wonder in a way, you almost have to be or have the perception that you are a mortal, right? you can do anything out there. it's a collision sport more than it is a contact sport, i keep hearing that more and more. does that change for players on the field, when you see that happen, does that shock you to the point that you are now afraid to be able to play that next play? >> i think it does sometimes shock us. i don't know if i really want to go out there again, especially the players who actually played the bills and the bengals, at that point in time when they're looking at, it they have never seen something quite like that. i think the whole world was shook up saying something like that, the way you fall back down like that. so i think people do want to think twice about actually playing, but you have to

understand how we are raised and how we think. we've been playing this game for a long time, so the way that we think is, we have got to go back out there and play no matter what. if we are hurt, banged up, because the team always comes first. we have never actually thought about ourselves first in a way that,, i need to protect myself and make sure that everything that i am doing is protecting me and my family, so in that moment, when this thing happened to him it was all about him and to always focus on the. player >> not to mention, to that point, we learned from the doctors and the press conference that tomorrow thought of the team when he was conscious. he communicated and asked did we win? not even realizing what his body had been through, that the world had stopped distant what happened. you think about this point of the individual over the team.

and what impact this is having on the way that the nfl is going to approach these matters? there's been an infamous 60 minute meeting before every, game which i never know what's happening. this tells you that there has been at least the expectation that this could happen. >> oh for sure, and what marcus is saying is so true. i've been fortunate to cover the league and college football for decades, and they are people. i think sometimes the fans are screaming, you may not hear it all the time, i had even say it now but kill the quarterback, now come out, the violence that the fans want to see it is kind of like for their entertainment, you are out there to be entertaining them. these are human beings and if anything good has come from these last 72 hours they have been so difficult for you and for the entire nfl community. it has been -- wait a minute, maybe we should stop for a moment and remember the first. and this is a young man out

there, 24 years old, is hopes and dreams very much like you, you see yourself in him, all of these players are talking about this. we have never talked about football quite like this before in this country and i think that is a great thing, even as the games will go on because that is what athletes do. but i hope that fans have a bit of a sense that maybe they have taken it too far, maybe they have wanted too much from these young man, maybe we should say that they are the kid next door, they could be your son or nephew, your uncle, and that we have learned those lessons in the midst of cheering for this young man to get better and be okay which hopefully he will be. maybe this is something that there will be some good coming out of this, which is so difficult. >> marcus you're nodding, along -- there's been so much focused on the nfl, the idea of the racial dynamic, the perception of the

dismissive nurse towards individual players to just shut up and play, you know to mean? to this change the way that you think the nfl and the executives are looking at players and looking at individuals? >> i think this was a huge step for the nfl to make a statement, to say we think about the players first and that we will always think about the players first because things like this are going to happen. if you think about players sometimes, players get into injuries and they cannot play again. they sometimes things happen and you do not think expect things. but you expect the nfl to be able to take heed to what they are saying, and also take, to make sure that they are taking everything that they need from them. i just believe that, even with the nfl and even with everything that they are trying

to do, i think that with him and his self, i think that he should make sure that he is doing really. well >> you make a great point, marcus, especially about the point of how this could transform the way that the nfl players association thinks about contracts, thanks about the contingency plan, thinks about the fact that most players have a three year ten year in the league, in the nfl, as opposed to other leagues and professional sports. all of this contemplated. >> quick before you go, i do wonder, you never seen anything like this, do you ever get before a game or when you are on a team in terms of the practice and preparation, are they ever talking to you about the medical possibility that could impact you and the injuries that could take place? >> well, i wouldn't say they talk to us about it. we as players know that there is a possibility that we could get hurt and that we go out there with the thought process

that we will not get hurt. but it is 100 percent injury rate in the nfl, and you have to know that at some point you will get hurt. at the same time, we want to be taken care, of as well. if something happens to us, back to what you said, you talked about the three year plan. only if you get three years and i think three games, you get pinched, so when you talk about demarr and his, it is only been in two years. so when you look at that, what we have seen from the nfl that has done to put players on the backburner's, and do the need for them. if they hurt themselves, or if they are -- so there's a lot of players out there right now who have not played right at the three year mark, but they have issues and they cannot go get the benefits they want because the three year mark is right there and so they might be at two and a half years, -- >> it may push themselves in

ways that might hurt them, just to get to that particular point. i know we have to go, but this is really interesting to me christine especially that point. because if we are really invested in the world stops to what would happen and understand the injury that occurred to del mar, and there is another in player on the team that had head injuries that need to be evaluated as well. yourself milieu within contract negotiations, and behind the scenes things in different league's, and how much the almighty dollar impacts the way -- >> how can it not. three years, you're 25 near done. and i'm wondering, laura, how many athletes and football players are saying do i want to continue? i think there's gonna be a real reckoning here of players going home and their wives in their loved ones saying, is this really worth it? that is a question that needs to be asked and it will be

answered. are we don't have players retire more than ever before? questions that i think as journalists and players and former players being look at as we -- start to look at that humanity of these men's rather than just a commodity. as i said for the entertainment value of the fans, versus being the human beings that you are. >> a really important point in conversation, thank you both for having me today. -- i wish we had a few cam right now for marcus. but there is a luxury that we have to mention, there is a luxury of being able to have the choice to stop playing, because for so many the carrot and the incentive and finances, the almighty dollar, provides opportunity. we'll be back in a moment.

some kind of an answer. we have a lot of issues to deal, with and it seems like this logjam is just making people more frustrated. >> are they frustrated with the holdout, or the republican party more broadly? >> i think it is both. i think that if you are going to hold, out if you're trying to hold somebody accountable, you have to have a better option. if you are just saying, no and not proposing a solution, it is frustrating. >> by the proposing alternative people other than kevin mccarthy? or are they just saying, listen, the alternative is you have to stick it out? >> well, i don't know. i haven't heard the voice -- if someone nominated congressman -- who i think is a great guy, but if he is someone that the country will get behind, or is this just -- are they looking for something in a negotiation that they would be comfortable with. i don't know the answer to, that type of people are just frustrated, because as you, know we have a lot of economic issue, the war issue the president talked about, today we have a lot of things to deal with in this country people want to, see us moving forward in the right direction.
