the house voting tonight to adjourn until noon tomorrow. that sounds a little familiar,

right? it also buys time for more negotiations to take place behind closed doors after kevin mccarthy suffered five more defeats today for a total now of 11. so, what's gonna happen in just a few hours? how will that change things, he hasn't seen the progress yet? plus, we have new news on the buffalo bills damar 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 collapsed. >> i don't like how you went down. >> a minute everybody on-call. >> bring everybody. we need a helicopter, everybody. we need all of this. we never went down here.

>> more on this in a moment, let's get down to the latest from capitol hill. melanie zanona is there for us tonight. melanie, you've got some new reporting on the negotiations. any movement, what's going on? >> not quite yet, laura. all the negotiations have wrapped up for the night. the people who are in those key meetings have left the building. and not a single person who voted against kevin mccarthy on the house floor has said they're gonna 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 come look at that in review it over. they've been doing that all throughout the evening, coming in and out. coming at various moments looking at it. but coming out of all of these meetings, they've 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 on getting a motion to adjourn, that is a sign that at least republicans willing to give themselves a little bit more time to try and get a deal. and kevin mccarthy saying, there is no timeline that he's putting on himself to get to 2:18. i think we should point out here, even if some of these critics do come out and support this deal, this offer that's been given to them. sources are telling us, that would only potentially bring along maybe half of the 20 people who voted against kevin mccarthy. so, doing the math here, that still leaves kevin mccarthy short of 2:18, and then there's the potential that they are just potentially four, five maybe even six people who are never kevin. and you can only lose four on the house floor, so, that could be a major, major problem for kevin mccarthy. progress being made, it looks like, but still very unclear

what his path to final victory is, laura. >> whatever's on this piece of paper, essentially, is it just a concession he's already made to date? is it all for something else? just seeing it on paper makes people want to be persuaded all the more? >> yeah, we reported less and let some of those concessions were. that includes going down in the motion to vacate, that is the power to call for a vote on the sitting speaker. that's going to be the power of any single member to call for that. so, that is something they agreed to last night. they agreed to put more conservatives on committees, there's promises about policy, there's talks about votes. there is a ton of things that are in the mix right now. but really, they just wanted to get pen to paper, is what we were told. even though there's a lot of these negotiations took place last night, they wanted to get them written down to try and get more of a promise and a commitment, and that's what members were going in and looking at tonight. laura, i can tell you, that talking to senior republicans who are on some of these committees that will be impacted by these concessions, there is a lot of concern that mccarthy is giving away the

store and still gonna get nothing in return. and the reason why that's problematic, if kevin mccarthy does drop out and all these provinces have been made, -- the tooth faces out of the tube there. whoever stepped in to try and run is gonna be beholden to those same concessions. so, what a lot of republicans are wondering right now, is there someone right now in this moment who can get to 2:18 without having to give away all of these concessions. that's the question that are starting to come to republicans minds. if kevin mccarthy still feels to get the votes.

>> melanie, thank you for reporting. so important have your insight and reporting tonight. i wanna bring in congressman brad schneider into the conversation, you heard from my colleague melanie zanona about the idea of the importance of putting it on paper. but if it's just on paper, and they're still saying no, are we just gonna be here indefinitely? >> i think that's the 64,000 dollar question. we've had 11 votes already, and every single one of those 11 votes, hakeem jeffries has received 212. every single democrat is here in voting for akeem jeffries, because we're united. the republican side, mccarthy's gone from total three to total

two, 2 to 1, now 200. he's giving more and more away, as melanie said, given away the store. and yet, he's losing votes, not picking up votes. so, as she said, not just the democrats are concerns, you're seeing more republicans concerned that the giving too much and getting nothing. where is that gonna lead us back in session tomorrow? >> do you have concerns in the long run that what's happening right now in the concessions, the weakening of the power of the speaker, would possibly impact democrats in the future? >> i think my hope is, my expectation, that democrats are gonna continue to be the party

that wants to govern, we showed in the last congress the same five t majority, that the republicans had today, were passed historic legislation from the american rescue plan to bipartisan infrastructure bill, pact act, the chips act, inflation reduction act. old and with the narrowest of majorities. we show that we can govern. we come back in power in two years, i think i see democrats going back to the type of rules that get things done, as opposed to the cast for seeing on the floor today, which is just a precursor of what we can expect in 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 up. i don't see any indication that democrats are in any way incentivized to do so. is there anything that would cause democrats to assist the republican endeavor to elect a speaker? >> the republicans have the majority. they have 222 seats, they should be able to select speaker but they're divided, they're fighting amongst each other. out in public, on the floor of the house, the american people to see. kevin mccarthy in his desperation to become speaker, is giving everything to the most extreme members of the republican party. what i would love to see is the republicans look across the aisle, before they get anything done that's gonna stand the test of time, not just in this congress, in every khan gross, reaching across the aisle and finding solutions that serve the entire nation. if we could find some way to do that, rather than just going to extremes, bring the republicans back towards the center, i think there would be a pretty good conversation. it's not going to be helping the republicans for free, it's the democrats looking for roles on, committee's abilities to influence legislation, wanting to see us move to govern and advance policies and help american people rather than these investigations that they're talking about. rather than the theater that's really focused on work. >> are you hearing any offers for those sorts of awards to come? >> no. if you're watching it on tv, we're in the chamber, mccarthy continues to go back to the

same well, the same 20 people who say, we're not gonna vote for you that should give us more, give us more. they have another vote, they don't form again. they say we want more, he gives them more. we've had 11 tries, maybe 12 will be the number. maybe 13, 14. he tried to give them more, and they keep telling him thank, you that's not enough. it would be so much better if we could find a way to bring all of congress together to find that consensus. akeem jeffries has demonstrated, he's gotta be voting for the democratic party. kevin mccarthy has shown that he can't unite his party in any way whatsoever. >> speaking of that consensus, at some point, assume that there is a speaker elected. it does not bode well that there has been an inability to bring in and unify the republican caucus in a way, even as the majority -- a slim majority. do you have concerns that the same hard-liners that or 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? >> in the last congress, the same 20 people were disruptive. they would call for votes where there was consensus they would just try to do procedural moves the call to adjourn so we couldn't do our work. there are now the party of the majority, they have actual control. and what they've extracted from the leader, from mccarthy, is

this one member can bring a motion to vacate the chair. every single day, mccarthy's gonna have to go through and is going to, -- any one of those 20 or anyone else on the republicans side can say, no, we don't like mccarthy. we will have a vote for speaker. a little grind the operations of the house to the halt. we need to do work for the american people. we have challenges, we have challenges our economy, challenging education you can run down things the a elected their represen, twe'r aren our constitu o abilitiwe representw, p>> other th offered on this whatev is beingthat are attr>> obviously, i haven't seen what's being offered. >> well, on the is motionit was the idea of b able to br file m or being a amendments legislation. is that something that would be attractive to democrats more broadly if it were under different circumstances? >> i think we are seeing on the republican side is an effort to give -- the most power. if we do more to try to open up the process to get to regular order, to allow people to introduce legislation, bring it committee, have opportunity to amended in committee, bring it to the floor have opportunities to make that. 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 what the freedom caucus and the streaming extremists are asking for, is their ability to bring everything to a halt or have the exactly their way, or

to preclude people they disagree with. not just democrats, but republicans that they don't like in their own party. not to have the ability to have their input and the majority. we are seeing the tyranny of a very small majority of the republican party holding the entire house, in this case, the nation, hostage. >> really important to underscore that point, this is not doesn't esoteric exercise in watching the sausage being made, it has real world implications. >> great being here. >> the negotiations are going on well into the night, although they seem to be reduced to paper, and then circulated. what can kevin mccarthy offer to get across the finish line? and how much power frankly what he have left even if he actually does realize the dream of becoming speaker?

i'd like to thank our sponsor liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. when aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready, i was so excited. i love the confidence. i love that i can blast this beautiful smile and make the world smile with me. i would totally say aspen dental changed my life. aspen dental makes new smiles affordable. right now, get 20% off dentures. we do anything to make you smile.

>> well the clock is ticking, and kevin mccarthy has to make a deal in a matter of hours, or face another humiliating round of votes on what might be his last ditch attempt to become speaker of the house. joining me now axios senior contributor margaret talib, cnn political contributor --

and former republican congressman joe walsh. your title is longer than that, for axios, i will give you the full one. director of democracy journalism and -- in syracuse. i will give you all of your respect. let me ask you, when you think about this, is a couple hours going to help get these numbers? is it really the behind the scenes, all of this, will it help him with these? >> i'm not sure we are going to have an answer by noon tomorrow, i'm not sure of another stand will think so, but the working theory has always been, there's some number between 20, and four or five that is the magic number. if you get to that number everyone who is coalesced around, mccarthy can just stop and pressure them, and say, you don't 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 will get,

there but that is where this is all headed. that group is never going to vote for, him but they don't need to vote from time to become speaker. they just need to walk away. the question is, are we going to get there? >> look, let's be clear, laura, this is like a perfect storm. you have a republican party that is pretty racket radicalized. you have 6 to 8 members who would blow that chamber down if they could be on a tucker charleston show. but let's be clear, kevin mccarthy, and i served with, him is a uniquely bad untrustworthy candidate. >> tell me how you really feel. >> no, but the fact that this is a test of his leadership, this is the second time he's trying to be speaker, he is not doing real well. the fact we are here like this, -- >> what does it say about those who have been able to govern? a lot of people look at speaker pelosi, and, say look how you are actually able to get this, done at least get to the part where legislating really begins. i wonder, laura, this is

personal, obviously just kevin mccarthy, but some of the 20 are getting criticized heavily about it being so personal, for being alleged not have any platform whatsoever. the whole point of it is chaos. is that fair? >> i think there are definitely a number of them that say it is personal, whether they felt they were wronged by mccarthy at some point along the way, during their primaries when they were running for reelection. so, you know, that is something that is happening in the past. you just referred to the 2015 speaker chaos when john boehner speaker was ousted, and then mccarthy again, for personal reasons, partially personal, also he decided to publicly say the benghazi committee was simply to go after hillary clinton rather than actually to investigate benghazi incident. that was partially why they didn't vote for him. but it was also personal then. so, now, it is a mixture

personal, a mixture of some of them simply not wanting to do basic government functions. they have outright said, well, mccarthy voted for government funding bills in the past. so i cannot support him. that is scott perry by the way. an election denier who tried to overturn -- that is another key thing about when we talk about basic government function, these five core hard-liners, they are election deniers, but they also all voted to overturn the election, and i think that is a key point here when we talk about this culture that has grown within the republican -- >> yeah, they are 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, donald trump didn't work that hard for, it donald trump has lost weight with this caucus, number three it is not really about trump, it is about them showing their base what they think their base wants to hear,

which is that they are against the establishment, and they want to bring 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 he still sticking around for constant humiliation, but he hasn't 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 disappoint him. i think the question he is hoping will flip overnight into tomorrow, which is to say if his -- if the overwhelming majority of the caucus is not abandoning him, why won't these guys come on board? the longer this goes on, the left of this but 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 whole odds are not saying, we are ready to coalesce around this other person who actually could win the majority of

caucus support. they are still in a standoff. and, he is waiting for them to -- and as long as most republicans in the caucus support him, he has the ability to do that. >> by the way, you know, you mention this point as well about the perception that some of the holdouts were slated 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, and you hear, is michael cloud, matt, gates byron donald as well. there is a number at play. chip roy, just to name a few. you go down the list, all these people have gotten some money from the pack. -- you catch 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 look bad if they

continue to take a hands-off approach? is there any risk that this could actually be detrimental to 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 is just the beginning, -- some who are not at this, lauren boebert, listen to this. >> i think the american people,

no matter how you vote are sick and tired of jama, and this is nothing which i'm. and we are on multiple days now with multiple candidates from this, so i'm not sure how lower in boebert on one hand can demand so much out of kevin work earthy, but then demand nothing out of someone else and be willing for them to be speaker. that is not serious. i don't think that is leadership. i really see it as more obstruction than progress. >> drama. >> i think that it would be a mistake to pick this somehow even after this, and even though they are on opposite ends of the mccarthy question for speaker, that they are somehow on different ends of ideological spectrum. because, lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, they are in the exact same part of the ideological spectrum within the republican party. and both election and i, is that both trump, staunch trump supporters. they are both people who have, you know, really shown no interest in necessarily basic

or government functions at all. we have talked about. so, i think they would probably vote similarly on government funding bill, sondland, bills i mean we've seen time and time again where marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert a line on those. this isn't the fork in the road another words? >> that is why it is such a mistake to look on these as a fringe. the group is much bigger, they all want to investigate and there's not, up they all want to hang fauci the group is much bigger than 20. >> but the difference is tactical and strategic. that larger group says, we want to do that, stuff and we can't get to it, until we are sworn in. that, what you tell are green prevails, and helps kevin mccarthy become extremely we can now speak, or she's going to be much more empowered -- >> she saying they can do that with kevin mccarthy as speaker, that is in marjorie taylor greene as opposed to lauren boebert.

>> it is a major caucus, it is not just these 20. this is the beginning of it. >> look at how -- so much -- >> keep talking -- >> but it is -- it is the eve of january 6th, of the january 6th anniversary, and it tomorrow as they reconvene, it will be the two year anniversary. and i think, we all look at 2022, and said there has been of a of a reset, the public is sick of -- and they want to move on, they recognize legitimate results of the election, and just just opposing that with some moments earlier today, donald trump using truth social to -- 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 yet. that is still what is playing out. >> and to my earlier point actually get that, this which is i know i said the election

deniers, but 18 out of those twenties are election and i are. and even more than that -- so again, to just bacon tonality culture of this republican conference, it is they aren't naturally interested in democracy are fully functioning democracy all the time, because there is dozens of people their voting against certification. >> which is why, again, laura, the most ironic thing about all this was, does not matter who the speaker, is because the -- we are going to have all the investigatory stuff, we are still going to have a debt limit. there is nothing any speaker can do to stop any of this. >> there is a reckoning that has not been resolved, and will not be resolved with the ascension of the house speaker. >> i need my throat right now. let's call a commercial break. we will be right back. >> we have been going for three days. >> we will be right back.

and now a lot more people can. so let's go. the digital age is waiting. >> all right, we have some cautious but some good news tonight about the more hamlin. doctors say the bill safety is

awake, and is communicating, with him and holding hands with his family. he has however, still critically ill. his condition has improved substantially in the past 24 hours -- and it appears to be a neurologically intact to both -- and our neurology consultants exams. so it appears to be doing well. >> we are also learning tonight that the nfl will not continue that game, and the cincinnati bengals. cnn has obtained new audio of medical personnel while working the sidelines at the time that hamlin collapsed. [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 pla y 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.

just look around. this digital age we're living in, it's pretty unbelievable. problem is, not everyone's fully living in it. nobody should have to take a class or fill out a medical form on public wifi with a screen the size of your hand. home internet shouldn't be a luxury. everyone should have it and now a lot more people can. so let's go. the digital age is waiting.

-- i know you have a big audience and, radio what are they calling and telling you? >> well, what we are hearing is what the solution that if kevin mccarthy is not the guy, why are they putting up, what are they proposing, or who are they proposing that it's a better

option? people don't mind standing up on principle, but they want 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. >> so they seem to understand the real distrust and vitriol that is being dispute at mccarthy? are you hearing people say that they agree, or that they do not see the issue? >> it is mixed. of course, there are some people out there that see this as, this is the hill they will die on, obviously, they think they are against mccarthy nomination, but there are many people who are saying we need to move forward, and if we can get some concessions and a deal let's move forward. >> especially on this concession, a lot of concessions are rule based procedure is not things that will impact american people, do they think those concessions are a good priority, or are they just sort of self aggrandized-ing and self serving? >> well to some people what is happening is they just are saying no. you are never going to get those people to come over and vote. but for others who are being

practical, they are saying if there are real changes, or -- are willing to do it. >> might, broomhead just ahead, what we can expect more in the house gobbles back into session as republicans and mccarthy in particular try to end the chaos and choose a new speaker.
