burchett: it's just like 45 day c.r.. we start working on day 446789 and start working on the election of a new speaker -- everybody is talking about we have been without a speaker for 15 days or whatever. we were out for six weeks and didn't do a thing. reporter: would you recommend he go to another ballot? mr. burchett: i recommend we keep going until we get somebody. host: let's hear from our independent line. our line for others in lubbock, texas. this is mark. caller: thank you for taking my call. first of all for the people who are saying that i'm a former republican, independent now, about the election night, i guess they didn't understand how absentee voting works. but jim jordan has no interest in serving the american people. he only serves donald trump. and as far as someone saying that the democrats should step forward and help, i think the republicans should step forward and put a man of integrity. i think jeffries is that man. that way we can get on with business. the republicans have sworn themselves to the

i personally like tim burchett, and i called tim burchett, because i read his quote. tim burchett is a friend of mine. i'm kind of shocked by this. tim burchett in his quote said he's leaning towards no, but he is going to pray on it. i picked up the phone. i didn't think he was already there. i read your quote. you were going to pray about it. i wanted to talk about it. and somehow he construes that i'm a christian. i simply read his quote back. i thought there was still an opening. and i wanted the talk to him about it. he never mentioned anything when we were communicating like that. he said nancy mace is a whole another story, okay. let's just be honest here. this is the one that i just got to text from her primary opponent saying why did you spend $3 million? i called nancy mace's chief of staff yesterday, and -- >> she didn't like that. >> because i called the chief of staff? >> she wanted you to call her. >> well, she was on "the view" saying i didn't keep my words. listen, i can't say this in a press, but okay. i -- i -- no, you keep it among yourselves, right

you heard from tim burchett who says, for him, this is a policy issue. he's tired of governing the way they are and he's a yes to oust mccarthy. >> i'm not sure there's anyone other than kevin mccarthy who could maybe get that other than maybe steve scalise and he's going to run into exactly the same issue in 45 days when this government funding bill runs out. mc mccarthy and matt gaetz have had deep seeded -- for one another. there are pragmatic conservatives who want to go through the full appropriations process, a legitimate thing to do, but not at the risk of shutting down the government, not getting military members their benefits, not funding cdp and border patrol. it conflicts on positions. >> you worked with mccarthy so closely in the white house. you write in your book and you testify that he called you on january 6th to get a message that trump should not come to the capitol. what's your sense of how he's handling this tonight? obviously it was a long-time coming, but how do you think he's handling the fact he may have to get democrats to save

one of those people voting against kevin mccarthy yesterday, representative burchett of tennessee. one of the reasons he did so is a supposedly marked by kevin mccarthy, a condescending remark on his faith. he elaborated on that on cnn yesterday. >> you said you were deciding on how to vote, whether it is to side with your friend or your conscience, but that he called you and said something that in your view belittled your faith, because you were praying on how to vote. could you explain how the conversation went? >> he basically said something i thought belittled me and my belief system. that pretty much sealed it with me right there. i thought that show the character of the man. i wanted to listen to him. i wanted to do it a long time ago. i was wanting to do it the six weeks we were on break, from august to the first two weeks of september. i said to him during a conversation, i wish you had not waited until right now to call me. >> i find this shocking. what exactly did he say to mock your faith? >> it really doesn't matter. he was just the fact that i publicly stated on your s

i personally like jim burchett and i called him virtually because i read his quote and jim purchase, a friend of mine, which i'm kind of shocked by this. and tim burchett, in his quote said, he's leaning towards, you know, he's on cnn, but i'm going to play about it. so i think on the phone and call him and i don't think it was all right, there is a jim, i read your quote, you said you're going to probably about, i want to talk to you about it. and somehow he construes that i'm a christian friend, somebody, but i simply read his quote back. i thought there was still an opening and i wanted to talk to him, but he never mentioned anything when we're communicating like that. they said, nancy mace as a whole nother story. okay. let's just be honest here. this is the one that and i just got it. i just got a text or a primary phone. it saying, why did you spend 3000000 but and i called nancy mesa is chief of staff yesterday. and because i called the chief of staff well, she was on the view saying, i didn't keep my word so i didn't know that. that's it. i can't say this is the best, but i g

burchett, thank you for appearing on the show today.y congressman john rose seems to be afraid to come out in the public and answer these questions. i will ask you -- the fact that it was confirmed with john kelly's book that donald trump did not want disabled veterans photo ops, it didn't look good. i just wanted to know since you pray a lot, did you pray about donald trump disrespecting veterans? guest: not specifically. i pray for all of our leaders. i remember when president obama won, i prayed he would be the most successful president we've ever had. i'm a conservative, i'm not angry about it. john rose is a good man come ease of farmer and a daddy with a couple of kids. i pray about everything. i pray for our veterans and my daddy fought and i have war relics behind me. he actually killed the people that carried those. i know about veterans, i know what they go through and i served with my buddy eli crane who is a former navy seal. my brother-in-law cliff is a former marine corps sniper and my daddy fought in the war and my mother

i think, in both cases, they felt that mccarthy, in addition to not governing -- congressman burchett worried about government spending. he had personally slighted both of them. he mocked congressman burchett, he thought is gonna pray about whether he should vote for mccarthy as speaker. nancy mace felt misled, vertically on some of the abortion policies that she expected to be dealt with in the house that weren't. it was a lot of bad faith across the board. that, in addition to the maga wing trying to control him, that brought him to this point. >> jen, just a follow-up on that. the way in which this was very deeply personal for those who voted to oust him, there was reporting that interview that kevin mccarthy did on sunday with margaret brennan on cbs, was played to the democratic caucus before they made their votes. really, just to drive a knife in his speakership, to show democrats just what a turncoat kevin mccarthy was. did you hear that from democrats? moderates who might otherwise been inclined to support kevin mccarthy, as he continued to hold on to the gavel? >> yeah. >> fu

and you heard from good, crane, gaetz and burchett. they can sense you are on the house floor and willing to do that in exchange for jim jordan as speaker. betty in alabama, independent. caller: first of all, jim jordan needs to step aside and doesn't appear to be getting any better. there are people who are just not going to vote for him or his policies. so he needs to step aside and there needs to be some other consensus. the gang of eight people, that's a joke. they are getting more attention now by this offer and there's plenty of people that are voting against jim jordan that aren't just wanting to punish them they are wanting to get their person elected. host: you have people like kay granger, chair of the appropriations committee that she is voting against jim jordan because of his record on the government shutdown and appropriations bills. caller: they have -- they shut the whole thing down by voting against mccarthy. eight people, he never should have been ousted. that is a clear majority and democrats need to put their big bo

and i'll name them again, gaetz, crane, biggs, good, burchett.ion is what if one of them gets cold feet. what if as brendan suggested they are surprised they even have gotten here, are you getting indications of any kind at all that any of those five is moveable? >> no. at least not two of them who i just caught up with on their way into the chamber. point of order, i expect that your show is now going to chiron me the flash given what you said about how quickly i'm moving around out here. when i talked with congressman burchett and crane, asked both of them can you be moved? and both of them said no. there is three other people that leadership could play with and try to flip. when you look at the other three, i wouldn't be confident if i was leadership. i will pick up on something that brendan said, gaetz could be surprised with how this is going. when we spoke with gaetz yesterday, the thing that he said to reporters before he officially introduced the motion to vacate was that he anticipated this might fail. that's why he also promised he woul

and tim burchett in his quote said he's leaning towards no, he's on cnn but i'm going to call him. i said tim, i read your quote, you said you're going to pray about it and i want to talk to you about it. somehow he construes -- i'm a christian. i simply read his quote back, i thought there was an opening and i wanted to talk to him about it. he never mentioned anything when we were communicating about that. he said nancy mace is a whole other story. let's just be honest here. this is the one that i just got a text from her primary opponent saying why did you spend $3 million? i called nancy mace's chief of staff yesterday because i called the chief of staff -- [indiscernible] kevin: she was on "the view" saying i didn't keep my word. i can't say this in the press but ok. [indiscernible] kevin: you'll keep it among yourselves. wait for my book. no. so i called her chief of staff because maybe i don't connect her or something else. i said to him, can you please tell me, i don't understand where have i not kept my word? you know what her chief of staff said, you have kept your word,
