>> todd: day two of the new congress and still no speaker of the house. >> my hand is starting to cramp. >> after three failed tries kevin mccarthy will be back at it in a few hours hoping to gain more votes. >> there's a point where you go from negotiation to a hostage situation. >> brian kohberger will be heading back to idaho where he will face murder charges for the killings of madison, kaylee, ethan and xana. family of kaylee goncalves speaking out. >> we are glad we live in the state of idaho where we have the death penalty. >> damar hamlin's condition

improving. although he is still sedated in critical condition. >> trying to get him to breathe on his own. we are kind of taking it day by day. >> seeing massive surge of illegal boat landings. >> shut down the national park. >> miami encounters are up over 400 percent. >> when you reward people for violating our laws, that's when people are going to come. >> >> open 200 years the cherished site is where jesus healed the blind. ♪ you're out of touch ♪ i'm out of time ♪ but i'm head when you're not around. ♪ your out of touch. >> steve: good morning, washington, d.c. you're out of touch. that was toba, our sound man's suggestion for the music to start the program. [cheers] >> ainsley: perfect song it for this morning, right? >> steve: no kidding. 66 degrees in washington, d.c. where at least 20 members of

congress are out of touch and according to the majority, republicans. and it looks like a real good chance of rain. will it rain on kevin mccarthy's parade again today? stay tuned, buckle up. because, what happened yesterday we haven't seen in 100 years. >> ainsley: yeah. three different votes. and we still don't have a speaker. it is day two of this new congress. >> brian: right. it's got to be embarrassing. pretty sure -- i'll stop talking now. >> steve: republican leader kevin mccarthy says he will not back down despite hitting a wall of resistance in a series of failed votes with 20 fellow republicans lined up against him. >> ainsley: all right. start talking. >> brian: thank you. peter doocy joins us live from the white house with the latest. peter? >> peter: good morning, this vote is not really competitive. there are 20 against mccarthy. there are more than 200 that are for him. but, mccarthy took republicans behind closed doors to tell them he's earned this job. and he just is not able to convince enough members of his

own party of that, at least not yet. >> our candidate is jim jordan. he may not want it right now but george washington did not want to be president. he did what was right for his country. we have the numbers and sorry jim jordan we're going to make do you what's right for the country. we love you. >> peter: because of this process the democrat leader hakeem jeffries actually getting the most votes each round. you can see mccarthy gets the second most. in the first round there was a smattering, biggs, jordan. donalds. republicans all consolidated 19 of them in the second round for jordan. in the third round he actually increased his total. he had 20 to mccarthy's 200. even though he says he doesn't want the job. >> the differences we may have. the differences between joyce and jordan or biggs and bacon, they pale in comparison to the difference between us and the left which now unfortunately controls the other party. so we had better come together.

i think kevin mccarthy is the right guy to lead us. >> yesterday was the first day after the christmas and new year's holidays that everybody in congress and at the white house and at the agencies was back in the office. but, the white house was happy to keep president biden off camera all day so that all the attention could be on republicans. >> look, i can't speak to it if he has been watching the vote today what i can say is he has had a pretty busy schedule. he was a senator. he understands how this process works and he is just ♪ going to assert himself. >> peter: this president and this white house insert themselves in the doings of republicans in congress all the time. and they are not afraid, generally, to say hey, republicans, do the right thing. but, in this case, they are backing off. they want to talk about policy. they're going to send the president down to kentucky today to talk about his bipartisan infrastructure law. that's what they want to do.

they want to show that business continues here while business is frozen in the house. back to you. >> peter: so, peter, the white house and democrats in d.c., they love. this because rather than argue with republicans this shows that the republicans are arguing with themselves. >> yes. and right now they don't have to deal with any of the republican day one promises. they said they were going to come in on day one and defund the 87,000 irs agents. they had a border security package. they have these subpoenas they want to send over here. but they can't swear anybody in to the house without a speaker and so none of that is happening. so to answer your question, yes, it seems like they are happy. and here, we were hearing awful day yesterday this president is eager or he is willing to reach across the aisle and work with republicans. but, right now, his counterpart would be the speaker of the house. there is no speaker. there's nobody to reach out to. >> steve: no kidding. >> ainsley: thank you. >> steve: peter, thank you very

much. you can almost hear the giggling at the white house. >> ainsley: popping popcorn and posting pictures of popcorn saying we are enjoying this and watch watching the show. it's only one day i'm not so worried right now. if this continues to go on and on there are 200 republicans that stand behind mccarthy. you have 20 holdouts, 19 or 20 holdouts. they are not going to convince all 200 people to change their minds. they need to get on board with the party so we can move forward. this is how politics works and it drives everyone crazy. because constituents wait in line for hours to go vote, to go cast their votes and then they go washington to represent their constituents and they just hold everything up. we could be working on the irs investigation. we could be working on getting rid of those agents. we could be working on the doj investigations. hunter biden investigations. everything is just delayed. and this is how washington works. >> steve: you are absolutely right. they have already broken their day one promise. >> ainsley: you're right. >> brian: 13 of the 14 ballot

election, reballot elections multiple occurred before the civil war. one in 1923 and since. it's like going into the locker room to elect a can't captain ba season starts and getting in a fight in the locker room about who is going to lead your name against another team. >> ainsley: when you are supposed to be a team. >> brian: make a vote and have it. >> ainsley: and the games can't be played until you choose your captain. >> brian: exactly. >> steve: this the "new york post" called them saboteurs. the republican saboteurs being led by the house freedom caucus and before the voting started, their plan was to coalesce around their back-up candidates were going to be steve scalise and donald trump. those were the two names being mentioned. but then in that first round, jim jordan got six votes. >> ainsley: he doesn't want it. >> steve: because they don't have a plan on the other side. they said oh, he got 6. let's see how many he can get.

so then they coalesced around jim jordan. we understand that overnight, last night, kevin mccarthy sent his emissaries from other members of congress over to talk to the 20 saboteurs, essentially. and they had some back and forth for a couple of hours trying to figure out how to get them to a yes and after two hours, nothing has been decided. >> brian: i saw the pizza roll in on a cart. >> steve: maybe they are doing it for the food. >> brian: i think at that point you say cheese. you don't ask people what you want on it. we're ordering pizza. >> steve: if it's washington i would imagine there is a lot of bologna on it. >> ainsley: mccarthy ordered pizzas afterwards to discuss ways to get around this and discuss today at noon. >> brian: just how insincere the

insurrectionists are. i probably shouldn't use that word: aat least agreed to some things and didn't agree to other things. these other people you are writing in, mccarthy. whoever you want, biggs, they haven't agreed to anything. so you are willing to take how think they might be as opposed to someone you have been negotiating with for the past few months. >> steve: right. to your point, brian, jim jordan is on the precipice of having -- getting his dream job. he has always wanted to be the chairman of the house judiciary committee. and once, if they eventually get a speaker and everybody can get sworn in, he will get that. but the problem is, with the house freedom caucus, remember, they're the ones who for the most part forced out john boehner. >> brian: 2015. >> steve: 2017. and then what happened, kevin mccarthy tried to get elected and it didn't work out. and so then after that, they wound up with a consensus candidate and that person was paul ryan is that going to happen again this time?

we don't exactly know. but stay tuned. >> ainsley: nancy pelosi goes in there and she gets to become the speaker. and she says but i don't want this motion to vacate. i want to keep my job. even if you are not happy with me i want to keep this job. they all voted for her, they always did. when she says it's time for the younger people to have leadership roles. they all get leadership roles the democrats get behind them and they support it. in the republican party they are so divided. they have been waiting years to have the house. >> steve: unity. >> ainsley: waiting years for this. they get their opportunity and then you have these 20 holdouts. >> brian: byron donalds and ainsley gave it away he switched on the third round he switched and voted for jim jordan. only one to do it. shows a lack of progress. today's vote here's what he said about flipping on yesterday's vote. >> we were basically dead locked and it was pretty clear that he didn't have the votes. so my thoughts is, okay, if he doesn't have the votes, what are we going to do as a conference to either find someone who can

get to 218 or at a minimum adjourn what we were doing, get off the floor, so the needed negotiations can happen? what we are really having is a deliberative process about house leadership and about what is needed to get washington back on track. for too long in the nation's capitol, everybody has just gone along with the next wave of leadership. i want a resolution. i want us to elect a speaker. get down to the bills of the american people. i can tell you what i saw yesterday on the floor, we were not there. we were dead locked and it was not looking good for the republican conference and we needed to get out of that room and really have those conversations. >> steve: as i mentioned a moment ago, the house freedom caucus drove out boehner in 2015. they would not vote for kevin mccarthy. paul ryan elected. in 2017, former speaker john boehner said this about the house freedom caucus. they can't tell you what they're for. they can tell you everything they're against. they're anarchist. total chaos tear it down and start over.

so if a for the most part they don't really have a plan. went to the benghazi investigation and hillary clinton. he was somewhat vulnerable to stepping aside. he has made no mistakes this time. in fact he spent the last few years just campaigning for people and raising money for people. that's why he said i deserve this, which really didn't rest soften nate too well. matt gaetz goes up and says i think he should be out. he is squatting in the speaker's office? that is just petty. you are not taking on nancy pelosi. you are taking on somebody in your own party. >> ainsley: he said we need to kick mccarthy out of the office he has already moved into the speaker's office. i was watching on social media. he was talking about aoc. they were having words. people have a lot of opinions about that. so, in texas, we have seen talking about border and all these migrants that are coming over. we just talked to a sheriff down in key west.

they are getting so many migrants there. many of them from cuba. in texas we saw the republican governor there sending buses to chicago and d.c. and filly. in arizona sending them to d.c. and in florida sending them to martha's vineyard. now a democratic governor, jared polis from colorado is sending them to major cities as well. >> brian: new york. >> ainsley: can't take them on sending them to new york and chicago. here is what the new york city mayor said. >> we were notified yesterday that the governor of colorado is now stating that they are going to be sending migrants to places like new york and chicago. this is just unfair for local governments to have to take on this national obligation. we have done our job. there's no more room at the inn. but we are compelled by local laws here that we must provide shelter. >> steve: new york is a sanctuary city.

that's what you've got do when you are doing that look, colorado is not a border state. but the migrant surge, particularly in denver, that's why the mayor of denver recently declared a state of emergency. they're asking the feds to help. and so now what they're doing is they're turning to these nongovernment organizations to try to get the migrants because, remember over the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of snow storms and stuff like that. suddenly people can't fly. so they are taking a bus. so, suddenly, the city of denver and the state of colorado is trying to find some buses to send the people to chicago and new york where it's really cold, except today. really nice. >> brian: you know, for example, the mayor is in a tough spot. mayor adams along with sid rosenberg wabc say a conservative but they have hit it off. so he comes on all the time now. in fact, they are going to go to a homeless shelter again today on 34th street. but, what he says is this: i have 30,000 illegal immigrants in my city.

not just 4900 from texas. 30,000 here. we have no place to put them. mr. mayor, you have the courage to take on your governor and your democratic state legislature and say get rid of zero cash bail. have the courage to say sanctuary city in theory good idea not patrol car. no longer a sanctuary city. not fair to have the taxpayers where 6 out of $10 goes to city, state and federal taxes. no one is staying here. everyone is leaving on the behest of your governor if you don't like it leave like republicans. so stand up and say we can no longer be a sanctuary city. then you would have a leg to stand on when the democratic mayor of el paso or the democratic governor of colorado puts them on a bus and sends them your direction. but, until then, or you have the courage to take on a president who really likes you, democrat, you are really without an argument. >> steve: that would be great if it happened. it's not going to happen in this world. >> ainsley: three out of four new yorkers are democrats.

>> brian: they don't want. this. >> steve: they love the sanctuary status they love being able to say we will take anybody. >> brian: no one is happy with 30,000 illegal immigrants walking around the city taking over hotels and sitting in overcrowded classrooms. nobody is happy with that. >> steve: all they want is they want money. they just want money. colorado wants money. down in arizona, they had the chance to bring in somebody who is going to be tough on the border. they didn't vote for the republican candidate. it depends on your point of view. a lot of people say okay, bring them. in. >> brian: i'm tired of my kid learning. i want overcrowded classrooms. i'm tired of them coming home. >> ainsley: if you talk to democrats, they believe that everyone coming across the border that they're all good people. and most of them are, probably. but, they don't -- they fail to hear about the fentanyl. because you only hear that on certain networks. >> brian: unless your kid dies in his bedroom. unless you find out about your neighbor dying. you know, getting stabbed to death on the subway.

so i mean, the thing is, you are not pro-crime. like people don't like people overcrowding your city. mentally ill deserve rights but do they deserve the right to throw you into the tracks. >> steve: fix it at its origin and the origin is along the southern border and the responsibility for that rests entirely on joe biden. we know that. >> brian: democrat can get the attention of a democratic president before any republican. >> steve: they are trying and they cannot get it because joe's hands are tied. he doesn't have the money. >> ainsley: ashley has headlines for us and we begin with damar hamlin. >> the team says he is still in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest during monday night's game against the bengals. hamlin's uncle says his nephew is still fighting. listen. >> right now they got him on a ventilator. so they are trying to get him to breathe on his own. i'm really really thankful for the staff, the medical staff that's been working with him. they have been truly awesome. >> his family also released a

statement thanking fans for their thoughts and prayers. newly released body camera footage body cams show police officers lift a car off a cyclist mowed down by a driver stolen car near san jose, california. watch this. >> 1, 2, 3, go. [grunting] go, go, go. good job. >> amazing those heroes freeing the 65-year-old victim who is now stable. police were able to catch up with the suspect as well who now faces multiple charges. and the "new york times" publishing a -- never been a better time to be short. the author says short people live longer and are better conserving food and resources. and in the words of brian kilmeade this op-ed shows how far the country's outlook has come. >> you started this show talking about optimism, right? and your optimistic. if you want to know how great we are in 2022, compared us to the

1980s when randy newman wrote the song "short people have no reason to live" ♪ short people got no reason to live." >> we are now 30 years later embracing same people told to go home in the 180s. america is a better place. >> greg: i seem to remember that being a comedy song, brian. >> brian: really? i took it serious. ash an randy newman says the song is a work of satire about prejudice and bigotry. back to you guys. >> brian: i really didn't know that i did think it was a shot at short people. >> ainsley: really? >> brian: why was he given commission to do the toy story after taking shots at short people. >> ainsley: that's why growing up in song so cute. my sister's class danced on stage brian bruno i would like to see video of that i can't see dancing. short people are young people. >> ainsley: right.

they have every reason to sing. >> brian: they have to sing "they have no reason to live?" i was on gutfeld last night. >> ainsley: i'm sure you did great. >> brian: without a tie, new? southwest sorry point offered to passengers hit by holiday flightmare. is it enough? cheryl casone used to be a flight attendant at southwest. she knows. >> ainsley: plus, after 2,000 years, the site where jesus healed a blind man will soon be open to the public. remember? he put mud on his eyes and he was able to see? we're live from the holy land coming up. ♪ what was wrong or right ♪ he had god, family later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! hmmm, ok. not coughing at yoga? antiquing not coughing?

>> steve: southwest airlines is giving away 25,000 frequent flier miles to furious fliers left stranded over the holidays after its epic meltdown. it impacted thousands of flights. just as the airlines thought everything was getting back to formal. more than 1500 flights were canceled again yesterday. what's up with that our next guest was as you can see right there a southwest flight attendant before law firming her broadcast career. does she look familiar? well she is fox business anchor and host of american dream home cheryl casone. hey, cheryl, good morning. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: you're not supposed to be that close to the motor the turbine. what were you guys thinking? >> we had a lot of fun back in the day. i will say that it was a good place to work. >> steve: yeah, but now it's got to be complicated because everyone is mad at southwest for the ceo to say you know what? we have tens of thousands of really angry customers who have said they're never going to fly on southwest again. so, rather than give them their money back, we're going to give

them points. so they have to come back. >> well, to be fair to bob jordan the ceo, are the company. they are issuing refunds. they are honoring requests and trying to find people their luggage still to this day. but 3% of the schedule canceled yesterday. and then the 25,000 bonus miles, i think was kind of a sad offer to their frequent fliers. they sent them a link and said click on this link to get your miles back. well, guess what in the virtual wait for some of these people was over an hour just to get your 25,000 bonus miles. it's the technology. it is the systems at southwest that are to blame here. management knew about this for years. not just bob jordan but also the previous ceo gary kelly. and the pilot's association is blasting the company. they are still in contract negotiations to be fair here with the airline. they say you knew about the it systems. you knew we had old routers, antiquated systems and you didn't spend the money to upgrade it and now here's where we are with this unbelievable

meltdown of operations at southwest airlines. and i want to say i still have a lot of friends there that fly for southwest. they are really good people. they didn't want this to happen. they're just about as upset, i think, as the travelers are. >> steve: real quickly, i don't know if you have the answer. are they going to upgrade the computer system i think yesterday everybody -- there was a ground stop for all the flights because they couldn't download the weather data which when you are flying on the airplane you want to know where the super winds are. >> yeah. you need that, yes, to fly a plane, true. what they did do blamed ibm third party surrender for this chaos with the weather system. again, it's just another technology failure at southwest airlines. and so at the end of the day -- i will say they were starting to update the systems. this has been a progress but too little too late. and what's interesting about bob jordan he actually used to be in technology and he has been at that company since i believe

1988. he is a veteran. i hope he can turn it around. he has a tough road ahead of him, i will say that. >> steve: listen, you have a busy day because tonight on fox business prime another episode of american dream home, go ahead and set it up and tell us where this house is and who these people are. >> so we're heading back once again to one of our favorite places on dream home. and that is blue ridge, georgia. i want you to meet two of my favorite home buyers this is page and ken, watch. >> this rustic lifestyle has attracted people from all over, including home buyers. ken and page. they have been battling the hot and humid weather for years and but now in search of some crisp, mountain air. they are following their dream big mantra and their house hunting journey to find a home surrounded by nature that feels like they are living in the treetops. >> steve: that's awesome. that's tonight at 9:00 on american dream home, right? >> it sure is.

one of the few times i'm going to show you a home buying couple that's actually leaving florida. probably the only time. >> steve: there you go. all right. cheryl, thank you very much. thanks for getting up early out in phoenix today. >> you bet. >> steve: all right. coming up on this wednesday, buffalo bills safety damar hamlin remains in critical condition after collapsing from cardiac arrest in the monday night football game. former player carson palmer and chris valletta join us next to discuss his life on "fox & friends." there's nothing like volunteering at the fire department. there's nothing like hitting the waves. but with my moderate-to-severe eczema it hasn't always been easy,... ...since my skin was so irritated and itchy... ...and even worse with all my gear on. now, i'm staying ahead of my eczema. there's a power inside all of us to live our passion. and dupixent works on the insie to help heal your skin from within.

>> brian: the family of buffalo bills safety damar hamlin says he is showing improvements but remains in critical condition after collapsing during monday's game against the cincinnati bengals. joining us former nfl player carson palmer as well as chris valetta. carson, let me start with you. were you watching the game? if you weren't, what are your thoughts and did you have a chance to see it being that you played this game for so long? >> i was downstairs. my daughter came running downstairs and said a player collapsed on the field. and i kind of -- i didn't think a whole lot about it until i walked up in the living room and saw the atmosphere in that stadium, what was going on. it was a reaction unlike anything i had ever experienced

as a player or anything i have ever seen on tv. >> brian: so, chris, we find out later that he had cardiac arrest not only on the field but when he also entered the hospital. have you heard of anything like this before? >> absolutely not. i mean, i'm sure carson can say the same thing. we have both been on the field for serious injuries. it's sort of par for the course with the game. but, this took it to a whole new level. i think the fragility of life was put on display not only for the players but for the entire world and when something that drastic occurs, i think it showed sort of instantaneously that what mattered most wasn't the game but what mattered most was damar's health and safety and, obviously, it stopped everybody in their tracks, brian. >> brian: carson, you said to me just now in the break, you told peter king the legendary nfl writer you worried with the speed and strength of everything that happened on the field you worry that somebody could die out there today but you didn't

mean this. >> no. the focus of the nfl and players' safety has really been on the head and head trauma and concussions. really that's where a majority of the scary injuries that play out later on in your life that we have seen as players and now former players are struggling with. but to see something like this, i mean, a chest injury is not something that we anticipated. but what we can anticipate is the nfl making a big move on player safety and really focusing not so much on the head more anymore maybe starting to focus on heart injuries like this. >> brian: right now we understand, too. he is in critical condition and induced coma. he is making progress. and everyone focuses on that. but, chris, if it turns out that that hit to the chest caused the rhythm of the heart to push him into cardiac arrest, is there something that could be done in the uniform to protect, to absorb that hit? >> well, i think this was, first of all, i think everybody -- this was a terrible accident.

and this sounds like this was one of those one in a million chances that can happen in several sports. it sounds like this it can happen in baseball and soccer and certainly happen in football. >> brian: lacrosse. >> the nfl is constantly looking at player safety. that -- the game has gotten a lot safer over the years. when you look at when football first started there were multiple deaths every single year. the game has gotten a lot safer. but that doesn't mean the game is still as safe as it could be. i think the nfl and the pla platform that they sit on is in a unique position to double down on safety and be a beacon for safety for sports down at the high school level, especially when you have think about the number of collapses that occur in high school sports. and the amount of aeds that exist on the sidelines for athletic trainers and high schools and the like. so i think this is the model for the way we should respond to these types of injuries on the field and what can the nfl and the nfl teams do to be a model for some of these high schools at the lower levels where these

injuries happen and we don't hear about them quite as much. everyone focused on damar hamlin and him getting better. going to play this weekend not going to play this game this week. carson and chris can you weigh in. we have never been down this road before. have you got think this game pick it up 7-3 cincinnati. how does this play out being that the season is just about over? carson? >> i don't think you can replay this game. they have got to finish of the week 18 games this week and playoffs start the following week. so, if they were going to replay this game on thursday, we would hear about it i think to this point. but, maybe you call it a loss ah and give each team a tie and move on. >> brian: chris? >> i agree. uncharted waters. commissioner goodell decisions to make. consult with the office. make some decisions.

i agree with carson. >> brian: i saw boomer esiason yesterday just let them play this week. get rid of the week off between the super bowl and push everything forward but everyone gets additional week except those two teams on the field. i don't think there is any equitable way to do it but justifiably we are focused on the health of damar. guys, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: coming up straight ahead kevin mccarthy struggling to get the votes for the gavel. former speaker of the house newt gingrich says those blocking mccarthy are sabotaging the g.o.p. agenda. he's next. ♪ ♪ enough was enough. i talked to an asthma specialist and found out my severe asthma is driven by eosinophils, a type of asthma nucala can help control. now, fewer asthma attacks and less oral steroids that's my nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for

>> ainsley: fox news contributor and author of "tee meeting big government socialism." newt gingrich joins us now. good morning to you, mr. speaker. >> good morning. how are you today? >> ainsley: we're doing well. i know this didn't happen to you when you became speaker of the house. it's been # hundred years since we have gone to multiple ballots. i heard you last night talking about why some of these holdouts are not voting for mccarthy. can you explain that to the folks at home? you called it blackmail. some of them want special things. but why so many? why 20? >> well, i think they believe -- remember, they are not really blackmailing mccarthy. they're blackmailing the conference on the votes yesterday, they were losing 202 to 20. and in a healthy, free society, you figure 202 to 20 vote tells you something. but this 20 has gotten together and decided they cannot only blackmail the republican conference, in fact they are blackmailing the american people. remember, we didn't get the vote yesterday to repeal the 87,000

irs agents. >> steve: right. >> we didn't get the announcement by mccarthy that there would be hearings on the border so democrats would be forced to go and look at the disaster. we did not get the kind of steps forward in organizing the china select committee to look at what the chinese are doing. so, just remember, these blackmailers just aren't blackmailing the republican party. they're blackmailing the whole country. their game -- i don't know what their end game is. >> brian: neither do they. >> 20 people can't dictate to 202. that's a real problem. >> steve: newt was with us on monday and you very accurately forecast it was going to be kevin or chaos. and it absolutely was. but, these 20 people now, you know, they don't understand it can't be personal. it's all business. but, to them, they just hate the guy's guts. >> look, it's the equivalent of a temper tantrum. they lost. when they had a candidate in the republican conference, he got

15% of the vote. kevin got 85%. if you look at who donated and who campaigned and who helped, kevin did more than all 20 of them combined to create the majority. so they have got a leader who helped win seats in 2020 when the rest of the party was going down. he helped win seats in 2022. he has crisscrossed the country 49 states in the last cycle. he has raised hundreds of millions of dollars. in fact, if you look at how much he helped raised for some of these blackmailers, it's embarrassing. >> steve: the blackmailers? >> people got millions of dollars campaign from kevin and his allies. i don't understand the psychology. i think this is a psychological problem not a political problem. they say they are for a balanced budget. kevin is for balanced budget as speaker i helped balance the budget for four straight years for the only time in your lifetime. i'm happy to sit down and help them balance the federal budget. that's not what they want. i don't know what they want.

they want somebody, not kevin, who is somehow going to get 218 votes even though kevin has 50 or 100 members who aren't going to vote for anybody else. so i don't see what they think their end game is. >> brian: i don't know what they did overnight. very curious to see the pizzas arrived. they obviously negotiated. byron donalds was on with us a little while ago. i wasn't part of it but i heard they have been talking all night. here's the thing they say look, is he a swamp creature kevin mccarthy. nothing personal. >> they say he is part of a swamp that gave us $32 trillion in debt. and is he worried about cutting dealed with democrats. what do you say to those people if those are sincere objections? >> >> well, i would say, first of all, kevin mccarthy has a long record as a conservative. i have worked with kevin for years and years. i would say second, the commitment to america, which kevin authored, is a very solid conservative document. and i would say, third, i don't know of a single demand they

have made on policy that he hasn't said yes. because he is as conservative as they are. now, they are saying somehow they are going to find a magician who they can trust, which basically means that they will blindly trust anybody but kevin. this tells me. this is a personality problem and it's a look at me, look at me desire for public attention problem. but it's not a political problem in a traditional sense. and they are going to loads. do they think the other 202 members are going to roll over and allow them to blackmail the country and blackmail the conference? do they think back home that their supporters that thought they were electing a republican are going to help cheerfully reelect a blackmailer? if this goes on for weeks and it could. the longest vote was 2 months and took 133 ballots in 1855. the most recent long vote took nine ballots. if this goes on for day after day and people are watching c-span and these 20 people making the republicans look like idiots. there's not going to be a big

premium back home to go home and say proudly yes i'm a blackmailing idiot, please reelect me. i think they are running. if they don't find a way to get to a solution today, i think they are running a real risk of being repudiated at the polls and they're basically signing their resignation letters. >> steve: newt, on a scale of 1 to 10, how bad do the republicans look are right now? >> well, they look pretty stupid. remember, this is a system where people often look stupid. remember, hunter biden wants lap's laptop.a lot of stupid th. about to move interesting and fascinating into disgusting. pressure on the 20 today. find out something you want that kevin and the conference can give you. declare victory. get this over with. otherwise, 2 or 3 or four days from now and no reason to believe that kevin, who has spent years earning the right to be speaker, years, electing people. years raising money no. reason to believe he is going to

cave. so these guys are right now trapped in a dead end. >> brian: hard to believe you're not comparing republicans to the squad. you are comparing republicans to republicans. you got to keep reminding yourself these are not enemies. this should be a family thing that's done and maybe you get a report behind the scenes of what happened behind closed doors. but we're seeing it front and center. >> steve: we are. newt, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> ainsley: check in with senior janice dean for forecast. >> big storm moving into the west coast headline today. san francisco you're in the bulls eye of heavy rainfall as well as very gusty whipped. we have flash flood alerts for some of these areas. this could be historic. and potentially deadly. already seeing over 9 inches of rainfall, more on the way. close to a foot of rain the next seven days and this will be a big, big story the next couple of days with winds in excess of 40 miles per hour along the

christian, jerusalem's biblical heritage is certainly very rash, and this is the place that 2,000 years ago historians say millions of pilgrims would come to cleanse themselves in the pool of siloam before ascending up to the temple mount. we only discovered this because of a busted sewage pipe that was right where i'm standing. after the sewage pipe burst, you had construction crews that had to come and repair the sewage pipe, and they inadvertently ended up discovering this series of 2000-year-old steps that i'm standing on right now, and what archaeologists realizes that these are the steps that are identical to the ones leading up to the temple on the temple mount. what's going to be happening now in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead is the excavation of about 95% of the remainder of the pool of siloam, about an acre and a half in size. whether you are jewish or christian, this is a place, when you want to come and literally

stand in the in the footsteps, this iswhere . and in the hebrew bible, when you speak of the biblical king hezekiah, direct descendant of king david, he is the one who originally engineered the pool of siloam. archaeologists believe that beneath the steps we are standing on right now, that go back to the time of jesus 2,000 years ago, you will find the time of the pool of king hezekiah beneath our feet going back 2700 years ago. >> ainsley: it's incredible. ze'ev, where you are standing, jesus walked. that's where he used the clay and saliva and put it over the man's eyes and he was able to see again. it's fascinating. i can't wait to see it one day. thank you so much. timothy cardinal dolan joins us next in "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ who undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month.
