one for lee zeldin and one for congressman byron donalds of florida. it is interesting that we talk about steve scalise, chad as consensus candidate if mccarthy can't make it. he hasn't received any other votes at this point. you know, the name lee zeldin potentially somebody how republicans can rally. but i mean come up where we are in this process as you pointed out, chad, this will go on for a long time. >> john may think that is the issue here. when they talk about steve scalise here, he has not put his name out there. he has tried publicly to be a good soldier dealing with kevin mccarthy supporting him. there was a point in time not that long ago there was a little bit of a rivalry there. steve scalise got a lot of political energy after he came out to pretty good health after the baseball practice shooting in june 2017 here or there were some people who thought steve scalise might have missed his moment politically at that stage because he was extremely popular at that point. but right now, it is hard to see how kevin mccarthy ever brings this to

we'll get lee zeldin's take on that for the first time. also today, the white house confirming that five more pages of classified documents were now found at the president's delaware residence on the same day that a special counsel was named to investigate all of this as questions remain about who in president biden's circle may have had the -- may have sat on these initial documents when they were first discovered in november and withheld that information. so who at the white house made the decision? we know the documents have been found but we're not going to talk about it until after the election. watch this. >> who made that decision? ron klain make that decision in who made the discussion? >> not to disclose? did ron klain make the decision? did the president make the decision in who made the decision to not tell the american people six days before an american election? >> i think we have to get the answer to that. james comer asking that questions and others as his committee probes this classified document issue. he will join us in m

could they say hey, lee zeldin could be the guy that brings us together. who knows. it really is that way. >> i don't think we know yet, do we, whether or not they're going to take a break? we see them milling around at this point and sort of hanging in the balance between a second ballot and third ballot. there were reports yesterday that kevin mccarthy wanted to stay in the room. he didn't want to leave the room. he wanted to force the votes. at this point does he recalculate that, bret? >> i think so. you can't be photographed, you know, in the cameras having a head lock on somebody in the house chamber. his allies are working. i think it's interesting that he want so he hard in the preconference meeting and went after them. i wonder if the sugar -- >> i earned this. we earned this majority. we're not going to -- we're going to win it today with the few god -- we're going to win this today. you can understand his frustration. you can understand his frustration. he's got an -- >> one more thing. there may be young incoming members. they're representatives elect. th

i was looking at andy harris in particular because that vote for lee zeldin, zeldin probably one of the more moderate names that was put out there, made me think maybe that's somebody mccarthy could win over in the second ballot. i was looking at the republicans who voted for jordan. were any swayed by his appeal for mccarthy? none, none, none. 19 votes there for jim jordan. again, the territory this puts us in historically, this, as you are watching, the 15th time in history that a vote for house speaker has gone beyond the first ballot. it is the first time in literally 100 years. >> 13 before the civil war, steve. >> yeah, most of them were. 1923, the modern congress if you want to call it that. this is the only time in the quote unquote modern congress. and we are now heading into this territory. we've had a few that have gone into three. we're headed towards a third ballot here. something you haven't seen since 1847. robert winthrop of massachusetts won on the third ballot. yeah, to me, the most significant thing here looking through it was right, were there any ground made up here

it was bubbling up before then, obviously. >> a lot of folks -- zeldin, his good showing, not a win in new york, but closer than governor hochul would have liked it, a good republican result for a lot of new york, and a lot of folks pushing him saying ok, let's try this guy. he did something good in new york, not for the finish line himself but much closer and tighter race. he as you heard there said essentially i'm not going to run because i feel the way the system is set up now is only the current chair woman can win if she decides to run again. he backed out of the race but made the point he did not think it was a fair fight for somebody who would want to challenge her. >> john: interesting, a couple days after ronna mcdaniel appeared here on "america reports" he was supposed to announce his candidacy and i think that day ronna mcdaniel held up this note and said signatures of 107 people to support me, and zeldin said i don't think i'll take a run at it. but in terms of harmeet dhillon, interesting what you said, not a matter of i'm running because ronna mcdaniel is no good, she's b

let's start with you, congressman zeldin. i mean, you showed with i think you a great campaign. you campaigned all over the state, including in new york city, where a lot of republicans won't go . doesn't the attack on prosperity, happiness and safety at some point reach the level that even liberal new yorkers say can't do it anymore? >> are we almost there? yeah, we sure are. i mean, our race for governor last year in new york state, where you have about three point three million more democrats than republicans, there was only three hundred thousand or so vote gap. >> about 22% of registered voters in new york are republican . yet we came just within a few points of winning this race. last year. i do believe and you saw it with the house races, the amount of seats that flipped the republican congressional delegation here in new york is now up to 11. and there's even more awareness with the reality that new york leads the entire nation in outmigration. one of the reasons we have spoken about often on your show crime, but also it's about the economy and people looking to other st

michael zeldin is a former independent counsel and host of the podcast that said with michael zeldin.t heard, you know, from sources, according to arlette's reporting there, there are fewer than ten of the documents found at biden's wilmington home were marked as classified. what kind of a difference do you believe that will make, if any? >> well, i really don't think, fred, that the volume of documents is what is determinative of what will be the outcome here. the question is, and is clear that there was mishandling of these documents. the question is, was it intentional, knowing mishandling or inadvertent? the question then also is, did these documents get unauthorized discan closure to anybody else? was there dissemination to a third party? and/or whether or not they were just kept in this insecured storage. so it's not so much volume. it's sort of like why did you have these documents and what did you do once you had them. that is the questiprosecutors h ask. >> whether there was any criminal wrongdoing here, why in your view was it important for the attorney general to appoint a

michael zeldin, what other insight do you have on this?ted out, there is the political part, this looks really bad for biden. but what about legally? should this additional search and what it uncovered provide any more concern for joe biden? >> well, it depends on what's in there. but if we look at recent past cases, there were three that are instructive. one is against former attorney general alberto gonzalez in the bush, "w." administration, and he was investigated for misman documents. he fully cooperated, he didn't disseminate them, didn't destroy them, ultimately given a finding of no criminal liability. former army general petraeus took documents that were classified, gave them to his biographer, and was prosecuted, had to plead guilty to crimmina mishandling because of the dissemination. similarly, former national security adviser sandy berger took documents, when they asked about them he altered them. he, too, had to plead guilty. so legally speaking, what is distinguishing in all of these cases is, once they were revealed -- and t

let's bring in former independent counsel michael zeldin, adjunct professor at american university collegeo see you, michael. >> nice to see you. >> five more documents were found in the president's wilmington residence. what are some key questions, do you think, special counsel robert herr should ask in this investigation? >> the questions really are how did they get removed from the white house? what was done with them? was there any additional dissemination or sharing of them with anybody? what was done once he was notified or they notified themselves of the presence of these documents, that is, was there cooperation? and was this really inadvertent or intentional. that's really an inflection point. inadvertence or intentionality and then cooperation, lack of cooperation after the discovers were disclosed. >> so that's sort of comparing and contrasting, i think, two different cases here with the former president and the current president, right? president biden says he is surprised by the discovery of these documents. former president trump had reportedly ordered an employee to move box

they also like lee zeldin who the body is very familiar with. you will continue to hear these names, and i think it plays well for the 22 say we are not here to represent the status quo, this is what we told him we would do and here are some names we can get behind and byron donalds is a very capable member that a lot of people respect. i think he would be a wonderful speaker. >> harris: let's talk again about the former but my vice president mike pence. bret i know you have to leave us in a few moments so i will go back to if you are still with us. how does that play out? the politics of someone who, you know many of us have looked at on a potential list to run for president in 2024. what does this all mean for somebody like mike pence? >> bret: these are just names, harris that are being thrown out and mike pence is probably not in the running as far as wanting to be speaker of the house. all indications are he wants to run for president periods these are names that are being thrown out to be consolidating figures that could potentially get th

lee zeldin, good catching up with you again. former new york congressman and gubernatorial candidate came oh so close to doing something historic in new york. thank you again, congressman. back to chad pergram while you're watching the numbers. we'll keep them up there. a twelfth vote not gone kevin mccarthy's way but something else has or could be. chad, what are you learning? >> what's interesting is we don't definitively know that this won't be the, you know, the ballot here. the reason is because we don't know how many members are absent. we know there's at least three and might be more than that. that's something we have to be very careful with. the second thing is and this is the news of the hour here, is that there are other votes for mccarthy coming across the aisling. dan bishop of north carolina, josh of oklahoma, michael cloud of texas, andrew clive of georgia, byron donalds so there's been a number of them in the past couple of minutes here that have defected now from being a protest vote and voting for kevin mccarth

one for lee zeldin. one for byron donalds, a current florida congressman and one for jim banks. let's go to rodney davis, if we can, right now to get his reaction to this because congressman, tell me how this ends with your friend kevin mccarthy being speaker, because i'm having a difficult time seeing it. >> well, we all are. this is historic, first time it's happened in 100 years as has been mentioned numerous times. this is new territory for him. from my sources on the floor right now, kevin is going to go immediately to another round of votes, you saw him talking to jim jordan, jim has been adamantly supportive of kevin mccarthy. i think jim is going to be asked to go talk to those members who voted for him against his wishes and to talk them into maybe changing their vote for kevin. jim really wants to be the judiciary chair. he wants to get to work. but right now the only discussion for any other candidate for speaker of the house on the republican side besides kevin mccarthy is happening between the people who already voted against him, no one else is discussing another d

governor lee zeldin, here we come. and and i think that what that for aj yeah. yeah. thank you. get rid of that that one note pony whose sole thing was to donald trump. yeah, i think they'll both win. i think that i think that that will be victorious with both zelda and henry let me give you a little bit of background on this issue went to the jobs decision came down in the supreme court reversing roe the democrats had a party because they said, wow, we now have the issue we need we can use this issue to right the picture. nobody will pay any attention to inflation or immigration or crime. they'll all want to protect the right to choose. and in july and august, the republican party did not know how to handle that attack. and democrats ran lurid that saying alley abortions and, you know, coat hanger abortions and all that kind of stuff and. the republicans did not know how to handle it. then in september, they figured out how to handle it. i helped in that process and the way they handled it is i spoke to lee zeldin personally and i said, go up there and say, i cannot and will no

ohio with six, jim banks of indiana, byron donalds of florida and former new york congressman lee zeldin each received one vote in the first round. 218 votes is required to become speaker with all 434 members voting. now, in the second ballot, hakeem jeffries, again, got all 212 democratic votes. kevin mccarthy, 203. but the 19 republican defectors would go on to unite to nominate jim jordan. in the third ballot, can heem jeffries, 212. kevin mccarthy went down by one vote to 202 after representative byron donalds changed his vote from the previous ballots to support jim jordan who ended up with 20 votes total. again, all short of the 218 needed. so long as all 434 members are voting for someone by name, the number to become speaker remains 218. now, that threshold would change if members are absent or vote present. without a declared winner in the speaker election, the house cannot proceed with the swearing in of members, committee work, or any legislative business. so kevin mccarthy spent last night meeting with allies behind closed doors to discuss a path forward. and he continues to

they knew the start going down the leadership diets and then bu other names i've heard isbr oulee zeldinheir names to be brought up on the first, second, third ballot. also different leadership thatis pops their heads up. it's anyone's guess at thist time. >> president biden back from his holiday break and questions on how he deals with divided government and his plans for 2024. let'let's play it. >> mr. president! will you have a decision about 2024? >> clearly was not in the mood. does he make an announcement f the union or o how does he play? >> at this point it's, he's closer than he was just before christmas and certainly before ththe midterms. a member there was a moment last year where he was sitting with john and kate bar and asks, is dr. jill biden on board withfo e running for president again and he doesn't answer the question. piece it's for 15 seconds. is he still alive? what's going on? i think that calculus is cha changed. since the midterms and public reporting, joe biden is in so i guess she's going to run for president.-- e your thoughts? >> i think the biden went house

they only had to tack back because hochul made the blunder debating zeldin and said why is this so importantg on the subway instead of being pushed if front of it. >> bill: cashless bail will be a problem. prisons were built for a reason. apparently she wants everybody to get rid of their gas stove and we caught this action shot of her using a gas stove to which dana and i asked what is cooking, all right? >> i'm surprised anybody needs a stove. gore said the fish are coming out of the ocean cooked. news flash, no one pushing a climate initiative is following the initiatives. we call out the jets, the stoves. giving the guy telling you to eat bugs is eating bugs? no, he is listening to the beatles while you are eating them. give us money so we can follow none of the things we tell you to do. >> dana: what is worrisome about this, the gas stove story goes cross-country, everybody is talking about it. it is happening in new york city and other municipalities saying any new construction you can't have gas. how did it happen that natural gas became as dirty as coal? >> climate change is like com

>> the top three these 20 could support in no particular order, lee zeldin, former member, everybody, he ran for governor in new york, former member of the body, he somebody they really do like and can get behind, byron donald's who switched his vote, a fresh new face but very well respected, and somebody i don't know a lot about but the name i am hearing from this group is kevin hirt, young member of congress. i think that group is doing a disservice if they are not coming up and announcing here are the people we could support because ultimately you have to get to 20 and that is way the framers set it up. you can fight the constitutional you want, you can rage about -- kevin mccarthy has been leadership for 14 years, they don't have the trust between the two and until they find somebody they can all trust he can't move forward. stuart: thank you. the first twitter files of 2,023 have been released, what are we learning? lauren: a lot to get to. the intelligence community gained influence over the platform. after the 2016 presidential election twitter faced a pr crisis. was russia ma

kathy hochul almost lost the governor's race in deep new york when she said to lee zeldin, "i don't know crime is an important issue to you." the other thing, todd, did you hear chicago mayor lori lightfoot said street vendors in chicago should stop losing cash because they keep on getting robbed. instead of facing the crime, people have to change their behavior because of it. how about you fixed it? >> todd: individuals who need to use cash, this is predominantly minority community that needs cash. they don't have a bank account or the infrastructure. >> carley: she is suggesting something, i don't know but it is a ridiculous idea. >> todd: we are learning the number of kids under 18 committing homicides in the u.s. rose more than 30% in 2020. homicides committed by groups of minors increased 66%. >> carley: that is it the top prosecutor contributes that to the pandemic. during covid, without schools being a constant stabilizing structure for many of our kids that has helped lead to this rise in violent crimes. cory brooks and senior pastor at new beginnings church joins us now. pastor

of course, we also saw votes for people like andy biggs, there was one for lee zeldin. this is a display from those 20 holdouts of alternatives they think could happen, but it is not quite serious. it is possible if there are more votes on the floor today they pick somebody else. lauren boebert set on fox news may she will nominate trump. it is more symbolic than serious. host: it is a long day ahead for you in your coverage. one quick question in terms of the meetings this morning. will there be a meeting of the republican conference this morning? what do you expect when the house gavels at noon? guest: i am sure they will be ongoing meetings. it is to be determined if there will be a republican congress meeting, but the discussions for what happens when the house gavels in at noon is fluid and they were fluid yesterday and they were fluid at 8:00 p.m. last night. leader mccarthy said he did not think there was any reason to keep holding votes when discussions were ongoing and it would not be productive. depending on where those members are in negotiations it is possib

always been a moderate with democrats voting to impeach president trump, maybe they trots in lee zeldinxecution. i'm talking about republicans. >> jessica: i was just going to -- >> dana: can i add one thing? we have known for several weeks that this group was going to vote against him a mccarthy, the never mccarthy folks, but they never put forward who their alternative was, and even you had somebody like, a lot of the trump folks, including the president, with these people who do not want to vote for mccarthy, and what are you doing? you're crazy, they won't listen to him either. so i actually really don't know how it ends. >> they are not actually one faction, it's not just the caucus of boats, so you have marjorie what was said now, matt gaetz and then you have traditional freedom caucus guys and that's what you have for the options, jo bigs, jim jordan is out there nominating kevin mccarthy and then people are still voting for jim jordan. they don't -- they want anarchy, they want to humiliate him, he has been completely humiliated and that will probably continue for days, and agai

so then you start going down the leadership dais and other names i have heard are lee zeldin but no onethe first or second or third ballot. there's also different people in leadership that could pop their heads up, but i think it's anyone's guess at this time. >> mike: meanwhile, president biden just back from his holiday break and there there are questions about how he deals with divided government and also about his plans for 2024. let's play it. mr. president will you have a decision on 2024? >> mike: clearly was not in the mood. vince, does he make an announcement before the state of the union or how does he play it? >> i think at this point just based on the available reporting he closer than he was before christmas and certainly before the midterms. there was a moment last year sitting down with jonathan capehart and he asks dr. jill biden on board with you running for president again and he staggers. doesn't answer the question sits there for 15 seconds. jonathan capehart is he still alive? what's going on? then he answers she is kind of on board with what we're doing. i think th

the honorable lee zeldin of the state of new york has received one.the honorable byron donalds of the state of florida has received one. no persons having receive ad majority of the whole number of votes cast by surname, a speaker has not been elected. following the procedure used by the house in 1923 and recorded in canon's precedent volume 6, 24, the clerk is prepared to have the reading clerk to call the roll anew. for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek recognition? >> i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house. [ applause ] >> the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you, madam clerk. i think that we have three objectives this congress, three fundamental things that we have to get done in the 118th congress. first, pass the bills that fix the problems. in two years' time, we have a border that is no longer a border. we have a military that cannot reach the military recruitment, and bad education policy, and record inflation, record debt, and government that has been weaponed against we, the people, against the very people

well, it was very interesting yesterday to watch it go from andy biggs and jim banks and even lee zeldinmix and then by the end of the day you had all of those flip to jim jordan can, and you had byron donalds from florida change his vote. he's the only person so far who has changed from mccarthy to jim jordan. jim jordan says he doesn't want the job, but some of this reminds me of paul ryan when he was coaxed into the job. he didn't really want it. of course, that all happened before they got to this point. they had already made that decision before they got to this point. so, yes, there will be other names that i think come into the mix. out stuart it's getting really nasty, season isn't it? this is really chaotic -- >> yeah, there's no getting around the fact that there's a lot of personality involved in all of this. stuart: what do you think of former president trump? if he weighed in this morning and said, hey, get out there and vote for mccarthy. >> it might be too little, too late. if he had been making phone calls days ago, he might have been able to talk some of these 19 people

with cnn's political analyst alex burns, the former independent counsel michael zeldin, and former federal prosecutor elliott williams. i am glad you're here with me tonight. michael, you at one point were an independent counsel. when you look at these scenarios, everyone is focusing on there are two special counsels but they have different roles because the facts might be different even though the headline is the same. how due see it? >> smith steps into the middle of an ongoing investigation, multifaceted. hur, who is the biden newly appointed one has to set up his own office. he has to get a skiff. he has to hire a staff. he has to figure out what his mandate is. then he has a very narrow set of issues to look the. how did these documents get out? why did they get out? were they disseminated? was there criminal intent? it is a much more circumscribed issue. smith has a big deal on his hand. biden's guy hur has a much more narrow focus. >> in the past you've said when you compare the two elliott i remember a very poignant remark. you said, look. right now trump has a legal problem. biden
