the political fight of his careers ne as a small but seemiw determined group of lawmakers now stanaysmall d in the way. re many of them are pushing for congressman jim jordan to be the next speaker of the house.. but jim jordan is alreadys alred supporting kevin mccarthy. fro >> take a look. but what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek?n m recognition? i rights to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house. ohio as k foto my friends here on this e of the aisle, i would just say >> this. e have the differences we may have,e an the differences between joyce and jordan or biggs and bacon, they pale in comparison to the differences between us and the left, which now others thely controls the other party. and i think kevin mccarthy right .gud usguy to lead us i really do.p here or i wouldn't be standing up here giving this speech now, da jim jordan, he told me warsonally he doesn't want to be the speaker of the housene house an and wouldn't accept it even iftt drafted. the congressman is one ofeven i more than two hundref it wasd pa people that voted for mccarthyth to make him speaker today. speag with steve scalisey

and jim culmer, marjorienow tony frustration bu taylor greene and many others. now, tonight, i'm putting aside my frustration, but fo t for those of you still worried about supporting mccarthy, i want you to consider this tonight. sometimes yo u have to think through politics now. mccarthy has already publicly ot laid out his commitments to america placommn. s th that is exactly the americaa fis first maga agenda. so many of you i know like. secondly, mccarthy vowed to investigate the biden family's financial dealings. and that means a investigation e into president joe biden, not just tonner. he also will investigate hunter. the origins of covid-19, ine disaster of the afghan withdrawal, the politicized fbi and the weaponization of the department of justice. and of course,justice.ill de thh deal with wide open borders to our south. he is also publicly committed bn to blocking biden's radical socialis'st agenda, using every means at his disposal and todisl reassure those lawmakers stillbt

worried about his commitment. no w, this is something worthfe paying attention to that very few people are talking aboutw a mccarthy has conceded to a very low threshold, what is called a motion to vacate. in other words, only fiveer republican lawmakers can force a vote. and any timete a to remove mccay from the speakership. many of the peoplespeakership. r today, asked for that very r thing.d agai and then the bar got raised again and again and again and again. and the bar keeps shiftings. . this is a very powerful kev insurance policy. if kevin doesn't keep his in dpromises, a level of accountability that nancy pelosi did not agree to and her latest stint as speaker. and yet, after allr late stthe concessions, all the assurances, i continue to ask the holdouts overtsr and over again, okay, what lookg is it you're looking for? what would help you better serve your constituents at home? i've askedtituentst home many o. members for weeks about this and i rarely got an answer.ce i mostly got radio silence, a lot of crickets.

now it is time to get seriousl a with a small majority inhouse. the house, it's criticallyimporn important for republicans to come together as anan i important check and balance to the biden administratio cn and the democratic socialist party. and tonight we ask the question, ohen, how about this question? what would ronald reagan say? what would ronald reagan dohe now? famou as president reagan famously, told his staff, quote,person w the person that agrees with you, 80gree% of the time ia friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor. republicans, they would be wise ree. ed that advic as of right now, 19 republicans, they are determined to block mccarthyansy and that means lawmakers cannot be sworn in. committee assignments arestigat delayed. the republican investigations are stalleiore stall d and now this is note lo a big deal as of today. but if we lose a day or two. but if this fight goes on and on for day after day, week agend after week and thealls republican agenda totally

stalls out, you can forget about holding biden accountable pretty much for anything. and the country will be angry and frustrated and theyl be will feel betrayed. and you can forget aboutforget securing the border. you can forget about exposing, the bias. the corruption is the fbe i, hae they been politicized? is the doj being weaponizes? fot and by the way, you can forget about, you know, holding dr. i thin feet to the fire . i think the time has come for that. even worse, some of the mccarthy holdouts, they are now even reportedly threatening, accordingw ocra to reports, to vote form jeffre democrat hakeem jeffries ify do' they don't get their way. b needless to say, that would be a massive betrayal to every single person in the countryr that voted for a republicandemor as one party democratic rule would then continuate. d fo at the end of the day,governan the american people, they voted for governanceoted f. vote they voted for oversight. they voted for checks.r vot they voted for balances. they didn't vote for for republicans to go to dc and waste time and bicker among themselves and grandstand

and with the right to vacate and the motion to vacate available to them, there is a way to hold kevin mccarthy accountable. if he doesn't keep hold his promises. but again, despite fantasies from the media mob, i do believe this fight for speakerui will be resolved. republicans ultimatelymate will come together. work will continue, hopefully in the near future. fut hopefully sooner than later. the here with the very latest, senior congressional correspondent chat program is with us . by the way, he has the hitchhiker's guide to alls h the mess that we watched unfold today and what we'll see tomorrow chad. >> sean, good evening.morrow. kevin mccarthy is wearing the collar tonight. he's oh for three on each ofe the three votes to become speaker. mccaethy is beginning to los support. f byron donalds of floridaro dropped his backing of mccarthy.orda >> donalds voted forn. jim jorda>>nr now. . s just not clear that he tougher has the votes. it's pretty clear now and it'ser getting tougher in that room.er i think just if you're goingr pe

to ask members for a vote over e and over and over again to tryot to wear people down, i thinkd fo actually has the opposite effect. >> the house is paralyzer d for now. incoming minority leader hakeem jeffries outpolledou mccarthy on all three votes for speaker today. tore the republican conferencela has apparently been taken over by extreme maga. >> republicans. and to the extent they are reasonable individuals, on the other side of the aisle,u they have no wayt. out, mccartht opponent matt gaetz said of mccarthy could not get the votes in 10 years.s in he's not going to get the votes overnight. moderate republican don bacont. of nebraska is calling the 20 mccarthy opponents the , quote, taliban 20 . m it's about the math.ar here's what mccarthy must guard against attrition of supportf sr and republicans simply not t being present to vote. that could change the algebra necessary for mccarthy to win. .

and if the right number of gopsp members don't vote orvote vote present, hakeem jeffries could prevail. ntand a vote for a vote vot president would be a vote for jefferys, ostensibly. chad, thank you. right now, we bring in former speaker of the house fox news contributor newt gingrich. >> i think america tolerate will tolerate a day or two of to some infighting and a little back and forth and a little squabbling. d fortt understandw wh . if we already know where sta mccarthy stands in terms of investigations, he's going vestigatto investigate the fbi., the doj is going to investigate the origins of colbert , afghanis the withdrawal from afghanistan, and also joe biden himself and the money that he and his family made and whether they sold us on the commitments to america side. commid out a very specificotio agenda and you have the motions to vacate that he's agreed to with only five members onlneeded to get it started.e so that seems like an insurance policy to me. .h why such resistance? nd

you know, i can't explain it.d i understand that you could have one or two or three people who are crazy, but the fact that you had 19 peopled he vote three times and then warren donal's joined them thes on the grounds that you didn't have the votes yet. have >> but even then, that means von you have 20 people voting against not they're not voting against mccarthy. they're voting against the house republican conference. reblican cthe conference was 10- favor of mccarthy on the floor . he got 85% of the vote when there was between he and nancyne gibbs in the conference itself. as to who should be theg on speaker. and these people are taking on their shoulders, settingmembr a standard that anys c five members thaonfet conferencn could go out and destroy everything. you know, lincoln in his first o inaugural warned that the problem of secessionf seces is once you establish that principle, then everybody canm v

secede from everybody. these five people needes to take a deep breath tonight and ask dw themselves, are they reallynfern going to send a signal thacet every five people in the conference can screw up everything for whatever reason? cod believe me, i know from personal conversations that last night they were three of them went in and presented 30 sph-l d kevin mccarthy with 30 some different demandsrent, mosf them involving personal advancement. i mean, they weren't talkingr pr about ideology. they weren't talking about principles. they were talking abouto be who gets which committee, who gets to be chairman. toings that clearly are an effort to blackmail all the rest of the conference. t oe and i think the rest of the conference understands thish is a core decision.is do a two hundred and two win or two the twenty win and in't a free society, you cannot just as you can't give int allo to terrorists and you can't

give in to hostage takers, you can't allow them to take the conference hostage and win. i hope that in a conferenceer tomorrow morning when people have had a good night'haves sle they have a chance to talk. i hope they can find some key policy, not not patronage, a key policy position that the member will bring back enough othert ba members to get this over with on the first ballot. morrow.tomorrow. i'm personally not all thatballo shaken. we had nine ballot pics to pick a speaker in nineteen twenty three . we had one hundred and thirty three ballots to pick a speaker, an eighteen fifty five . s is not unprecedented*es and even in the case of pelosi, she had to negotiate with people, get several them to vote president , stay out s f the way. is i so you know, currently this is not a disaster. but if these people don't take seriously their responsibility to their colleagues, not to kevin but, but to their colleagues in the conference, d grow>> intoit coul

a disaster. >> and kevin, kevin has a lot of people he represents here. >> you have a wide you got two hundred three votes earlier today. todaand he needs 218.on now, the question is , you're ak right. >> are they what exactly areeopl they holding out for? e,i've been asking people and talking to some members telliand those that were tellia they were going to oppose kevin . i said, okay, whatdid you is it you want? why don't you meet with them? why don'i cat yon'u make the li? heard nothing back from them i can't tell you how ofteni he i heard nothing back from them. or if i heard one thing. for exam and then kevin said yes to it. like, for example, in the case of a motion to vacate, then then t the bar got higher than the bar shifted. then the bar c changed. at what point does the american people and republicans around the country say they've hado me enough with this? somebody said to me, well, thiso is this is a great exercise ofa a democratic republican action. and americancratic/republicas wd by it. i've said i beg to differ.

>> i think they're going to get sick and tired of this pretty fast.f the. >> i think a look, i think a number of these so-called insurgents, the whatever you want to call them now, are actually putting their reelection at risk right now because people are goingirea to look up and say, you know,hog who can you hold the entire.e party hostage?nk are how can you hold the house hostage? you to have this kin who do you think you are to have this kind of authority? and i had talked with kevin early on and said, justse be aware, excuse me, the last night they will come in with a whole new set. they came in last night with 3 0 additional demands, 30 . now, that's that says i'm a vote no . but i want to tell youl vo, i wi to play with you. and i think it's pretty insulting to every member ofo er the conference who stayedf th with kevin. tha so you have a two hundred and three to twenty choice here. and most free societies, two nue hundred and three is a bigger

number than 20 . i' i'm not sure the twenty understand yet, but maybe by tomorrow they will be all right. >> we'll seey rstand. row they mr. speaker, thank you for being with us. all right. time now for the hannity, mr. st hot seat. it's back .know i know leftist socialist democrats, the media mob the, they are loving the republican infighting on capitol hill, but they may not want to cast h stones from a glass house if there's one thing that we can te say for certain tonight is thatt the democratic party is am wi disaster filled with to the brim with nothing but liar sdge no .t raise for example, remember biden's pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class? well, here are five taxes thatio went into effect in january . jy that includes a new multibillion dollar taxth on those who powerose wh their s with natural gas. a 12 billion dollar taxcoal on crude oil, another billion dollar tax on coal, a seventy one billion dollar tax on your 401k and your retirement funds. r that had the worst year since two thousand and eight last year. s e 2008and two hundred and twea five billion a corporate tax hike that, by the way,

corporations won't pay. doey will pass it on to you. but don't worry.y go good newods from the beyond the grave in new york , where democrat governor kathy hochul, she's now made it legal to compare dead bodies at your house. i didn't make that up. here to respond, our liberal friend co-host of the five, ond. jessica tarlov. u cafin gloat if youe it feel like it. >> you know, you're probably very happy that law was passedr. . >> what' s that? me. >> >> i said, okay, great. thoug i thought todahty was great, right? greatyou loved it. day >> it was a good day for democrats for sure. but i listen to your monologue,s obviously, and it seemed quite n balanced about it that today was a bit of ay wan embarrassme. but hopefully they can get it together. and i would imaginhopefulle thae 20 pizzas or something got delivered and they're working on a plan.e bufat obviously, the facctt that kevin mccarthy is losing more votes as the day carries

on because people see that he's not going to get there in s terms of the numbers is quites s disheartening for republicans. >> all right. >> let me ask. all right. if you're gloating about that, let me ask you about this 20 .ar >> twenty two is the worst yeara for the stock market since tworn thousand and eight. d that the cbo has found that biden's inflation cost the average american household ten thousand dollars. and jo raisehole biden did make a promise that i'm sure you remember that he wouldn't raise s on ttaxes on those making und0 four hundred thousand dollars a year.,0 coupl family, a couple. oil but he raised taxes on natural gas, on crude oil, on coal, t on people's iras and pensions and corporate income taxes, lelwhich means that all of that money will be paid for by people that make less than four hundred thousand dollars a year. are you happy with joe's record and performance in two years isn't ten thousand n't ten idollars and biden infn sh tax. i shouldn't have kept his promise not to taxouldn't peopr making under four hundred for. e.d dollars a yea

well, there was a lot in there,w so i'll start with the things that we can agree on , which is that inflation was a huge problem. and obviously the spik a huge is prices, which i'm unwilling ga say was just putin's price hike, though it did happen on a global level, it was a huge hug problem for everyday americans. concerthey voiced that concern.r the economy was the number one issue in the election. the problem was for republicans. i didn't think it was a problem that democrats held the senate and kept obviously, joe biden in power and lost the house d by a slim margin. is that republicans didn't puta up a viable alternative. alterna they didn't havetive. a coherent of policies that americans believe the day after.n wh >> who gets hurt the most whent when you have inflation? isn't it the poor, the middle? class people on fixed incomes, t when you tax oil and when you tax gas and when you tax coal, x and when you tax corporationshod and when you tax people. that had the worst year in the stock market since two thousande al eight , those are l

taxes.oerp joe biden and thlistse democratic socialist put in place. all of those taxes are th e veryimpacting the very peopleh your fellow democratic socialists sa y cla they have the most compassion for the poor, the middle classop people on fixele od ind incomesm so the bottom line is joe biden lied to us. joe biden went back on his promise. it was suc bh a big deal when george herbert walker bush said, read my lips, nolker s new taxes. ai taxesndand then he went backs pledge. how come joe biden, how come.t you're a liberal democrat? you're also an honest person. hv i've known you for years. for years. why can't you sa why can't you say joe biden broke his promise and now will hurt the poor middle class and people on fixed incomes?ss >> because i don't think that's really what happened. so first and foremost, i don'tta identify as a democratic socialist. and joe biden is certainly not a democrat. >> well, han joeg on a second. but you raised those taxes. e >> you admit you raise those taxes. well, no, it's a corporate no, l there were a number of built incentives built in to being

greener about your life, movingr to augment electric cars, natural gas, solar has s tax, but he hasople a crude oil tax and he has a coal tax. so people that heat their homes and cool their homes, they're all going to pay a lot more that is being paid for by every american, regardless of income. well, right. check me back when. no, it should have done well. s no, i don't think so. i think that the transition was hurried along, perhaps too quickly. but that we do have to and thisa is something that we're in agreement with on a global level. that the environment is inave td danger, that we need to doo what whatever we can to lower eve the number of emissions, even if that means breakingbreaking my pledge to not raise taxest' on people. >> i don't thinks thatht that's the right terminology. >> for this.

so he said he wouldn't raise taxes or not make 100 thousand and now he's raise taxes different ways and more this. is the short list. and five different ways and more. >> i'm only giving youth the short list, and that's okay with you know, it's not okayruge for people who are struggling to get by to have their taxes taxes raised. that's not what happened here. raised. >> but that is not joe hockey's promise to close down. it takes years. it's literally nots no corporations, by the way, or great. you >> can you acknowledge that hee broke his word that i'm inn' the segment is over? ha i , i really i don't see ite that way.s i think that he offset a number of these plans by making sure that those that are tax attractive tax cuts somewhere where they come taxess and offsetan. stly i honestly, i , i need to look at the plans again. tal we were supposed to talk aboutng burying yourself in composting yourself. and now we're back to tax plans

.owledg by the way, can you at leaste th acknowledge that kathy hochul allowing the composting of deadt inhuman remains is kind of weir. >> i won't be jumping atpl the chance to do it, buto be ree eart i think if people want to bea ne returned to the earth, maybe that's a nice final voyage and you could turn into ramadhan or something. floreana, little little. hey, onr put grandma and then we'll we'll plant flowers and use it as fertilizer for our crops. nextad year. dead bodies. human bodies. all right.ssica. and we're great to see. jessica, thank you. we appreciate it. all right. the doj stonewalling more key unabiding documents. we haven't had anyents investigation. just the latest reason house reo republicans need to unify and get a speaker. r and that should happen tomorrow, hopefully. lland we'll check in with a whistle blower. kevin evans is suing the dojh te straight ahead..

also, congressman james culmer, he is leading the investigation into biden and stephen a smith will join us to discuss the terrifying situation in the nfl as buffalo bills damar hamlin remains in critical condition tonight. >>ha this is cowritten debris where nail fungus grows nugenix, nails gel cleans out fungus by removing cowritten debris using nanex, 90% of nails improve get clinically proven results. nugenix is so effective, it's money back guarantee left out the fungus with nanex for clear , healthy looking nails used nugenix fungal nail clarifying gel binocs at walgreens, walmart, rite aid and cbs the bills are crazy. or more she she has no idecaa she's sitting on a gold mine. policy.

. and tonight, a hanadi investigation developing a night, a lawyer specializing in foia request saysre the biden doj stonewalling access to hundreds of documents related to alleged gifts received by hunter, biden and joe's brother, jim biden from contacts in russia, china, ukraine.d now, the lawyer says tha thtthey the doj, they originally claimed to have the potentiallyn responsive documents, but now ti

they claim they can't confirm or deny whether they even exist . ren more as wit attorney kevin evans. kevin , thank you for being with us. kevithey said they exist now.d y >> they're backing off that m. i that's that's exactly what they've they've saidat they've done wrong. >> so what is the next step? and if they said they havesaid them, i got to believe they dide have them, but they don't wantt you to get them. >> that's what it sounds like to me. well, the interesting part of tg this is shortly after i filed suit in march of 2020 one , the suit was filed in novembero9 of 2020. ments, i got 106 six pages of documents. they're all public documents. they're letters from congressmen and senators to bar. they're an eighty seven page lett senate report.ember after i got nothing then until got september after pushing. and what i got was a letter from the office of information policy that said they hadrespon a handful of documents that might be responsive, but

they had to run it up the flagpole, so to speak, to undefined offices for an analysis and then in may of last year, we had a status conference in court wheree befo the doj lawyer repeated what hee had told me beforehand. ernmenwhich is that the governme has the doj has four hundredrese pages of potentially responsive documents that they need t and determine what to do wit to revieh.w to determine what to do with . and it was j then in july of lat year when i got what's called a glomar response, where they will sa y that neither admit nor deny that these documents, these pages they said existed exist. >> wow. all right. e, kevin evans,keep please keep ust the loop on this. st we're t goinghi to continue to follow this storyor. i think it may if we get a hold of them, they may be very wevealing, which is why i think they're now denying them. o we'll find out.utk kevin , thank you.yo nou, kevinw, as i did lay out my opening monologue tonight, this is one of the many reasonns it is so important for

republicans to get their act together. elected hous acte speaker. thes none of these investigations can happen. and the longer this flooations t drags on , the longer the infighting continues. e the longer all this chairman o waits. here with more incoming chairman of the house oversight committee, congressman james comey. this kind goes to the heart of where you said your investigation is going. you said this is annvesti investigation into jopresident joe biden. joe biden assured the americann people that noast once, not one time did h e ever, ever have a conversation with his son , hunter, about his foreignthen business dealings, then photographs emerged with joe hunter and foreign business partners. then o we have a number of meetings. we've been able to identify thatf took place as well. s we explain whlly this is about joe biden. well, this their is about joe bn because these are government emails that would show proof that the joe biden knew aboutew gifts that his son and his son brother were receiving fromhe's

our adversaries. that's why we're investigating e the biden family influencen peddling. >> and this is the family business. a lot'family influ pthis.s talkt with regards to hunter biden. but joe biden's brothet hur, ji, was just as involved as hunter.l he wasve just not dumb enoughug to leave his laptop laying around. and the fact that the government continues th cover this up, i could make of argument that this has the potential to be one of the biggest cover ups in big i american history. when you look atn previous covr ups, whether it be watergate, iran-contra, or even many of the clinton scandals, the media was there hounding scahoun the administration all the time to comply with boya request.d and with requests fromth the committees like the oversight committee. but what we have here with the bide bidenn cover up is the mainstream media turns a blind eye. so i strongly support what mr. evans is doing with this four year request. think i think that will be evidr that we could us ne to determinn whether or not joe biden is compromised. we know he lied abou liet his family's business schemes. knowf but what we need to know is ifsi

this administratioonn is , inhay fact, compromised because of all the shady business dealings, is the evidence 60%? >> is the evidence overwhelmingj and incontrovertible? oethat joe biden lied to the country about having his conversations with the son ,e en about his foreign businessat dealings? we have evidence of that. how many meetings do you think you have chronicled that tooke tookplace with joe hunter in par a foreign business partner? >> well, there wertne aroundof. a dozen that we know of. rid but remember, they've hi ad all the information. e info we've beenrm requesting information for nearly two years in the administratioted in and just sent out a letter latee last week that said they weren't going to comply with any of our previous requests. we're going to have to starts an all over. but luckily,d we hstarover there like mr. evans and i likemr. ev our friend stephen miller. anwho are due doing for your request of this administration and the on will administration is goingi forced at some point, hopefullye by the courts to turn over this information that every american deserves the right to kno to what he asked, joe biden was. involved. >> now, remember, in decembe

>>r 2019, the fbi had the laptop of hunter biden. r bi plenty of time to authenticatede it. they never have. they've done nothing, basicallvv with it.e do but yet wene know that we hadt e the fbi with a team of aboutn pp compn peoplele meeting weekly with big tech companies, warning them they might receive this information. and the head o f site integrityt at twitter at the time, a guy by the name of mr. roth, he b said that they specifically mentionea cased hunter biden inr a case that took place in missouri under oath, that he might be one of the people mentioned in the , quote, misinformationinformat. pos the news comes out from the new york post. the story gets buriey d by big tech. and on that laptop, hunter is implicating his father. dad pops is taking half to pa my income. i got to pay for his homy efo repairs, 10% for the big guy. all of that's in there. do you think banking records will prove that, in fact, joe financially benefited? .
