host: in florida. republican. caller: i have a question and a comment. the comment i would like to point out, every single democrat in the house of representatives continued to vote against all of the republican candidates as speaker, including mccarthy. there were eight republicans that voted against mr. mccarthy but there were 200 plus democrats who also did that. they have helped more than anybody else to -- continue the confusion that has taken place in the house of representatives. the question is, do you see mr. johnson by any chance trying to address the growing national debt? thank you very much. have a nice day. host: before you answer the question, have republicans ever crossed out a vote for a democratic nominee of the speaker of the house? guest: they did not cross the aisle for hakeem jeffries to his nomination for speaker. host: is this traditionally a party-line vote? guest: it is traditionally a party-line vote. it is something that is seen as one of those lines i generally do not. to the point that the caller asked about the national debt

florida republican matt gaetz, a notoriously fierce critic, is planning an attempt to oust the speakerorking with democrats. >> it is going to be difficult for my republican friends to keep calling president biden feeble while he continues to take speaker mccarthy's lunch money in every negotiation. >> reporter: despite being pressed by cbs news, democratic leaders haven't said if they'd join the effort to target mccarthy. if they did, only a handful of his republican colleagues need to vote against mccarthy to put him in danger. >> it is what it is, and i'm going to just focus on what the american people want. >> reporter: some republicans are also calling for the ouster and prosecution of new york democrat jamaal bowman, a former middle school principal who they accuse of pulling a house office building fire alarm to delay the tense proceedings saturday. bowman apologized and said he thought the alarm would open a locked doorway as he rushed to votes. the house administration committee and u.s. capitol police are investigating. meanwhile, president biden is urging congress to restore

this is sergio out of florida, republican. caller: good morning. a couple of things that are bothering me -- first, republicans should not have control of the house, because they make a dilemma of the situation. democrats should have control, because they would know how to have a speaker that knows how to bring order to the house. also, i deal sorry for the hamas because of what they have been through. but there should have been a different course on not having a war with israel. how can we stop this before it goes further in damaging to israel? also, i have respect for president biden standing up for israel. how can we solve the problem? host: two different questions there. which do you want to take? in what order? guest: we can start with the house. a lot of people feel that the republican inability to appoint a new speaker nearly two weeks after kevin mccarthy was ousted is embarrassing. many republicans feel that way i understand your concern and wanting to see democrats take control. there is the perception that hakeem jeffries would be an even

i move led by florida republican matt supported jim jordan. this was how gates reacted to today's developments. most popular republican in the united states congress was just knifed by secret ballot. >> in a private meeting in the basement of the capitol. it's a swanky a swamp gets. and jim jordan deserve better than that. >> the crazy eights led by kids that nothing damaging heart country. this instrument, we have a very bad position as a party when americans that is simple. 8 people. is jim jordan >> is a clear and present danger. >> democrats did not like jordan but some republicans argue democrats share the blame saying that collectively folded their arms and refused to help when they could have helped kevin mccarthy keep the job that would have prevented the house from being without a speaker and unable to conduct any business today. yet again, the house went into recess without a leader. roughly a dozen lawmakers tonight saying they will run for speaker may be at least seriously. think about it. >> that includes the number 3 house republi

florida republican matt gaetz, who led the effort to remove kevin mccarthy as speaker said the hard-linerst think that moving from kevin mccarthy to maga mike johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and were the power in the republican party truly lies, then you're not paying attention. >> and nikole killion is back with us from capitol hill. nikole, i listened to the speaker's speech today. he talked about israel. the house passed a resolution backing israel and condemning hamas today, but he made no mention of funding for ukraine. will that happen? >> we'll see, norah. but most recently speaker johnson voted against war funding. however, tonight he said he supports additional aid to ukraine with conditions, including greater accountability and clearer objectives from the white house. norah? >> nikole killion on the hill, thank you. >>> let's turn now to the war in the middle east. tonight cbs news learned israel is delaying the ground invasion into gaza as the fate of more than 200 hostages remains uncertain. now this as the humanitarian crisis is growing more desperate by the hour

[cheers and applause] two weeks ago, the house was thrown into chaos by matt gaetz, florida republicanappens when you photocopy matthew mcconaughey too many times. he staged a coup against kevin mccarthy, speaker of the house, and what happens when you photocopy john slattery too many times. and after that, everyone said the republicans were too divided to elect a new speaker, and it turns out, everyone was right. >> breaking news. >> chaos on capitol hill. the republican house dysfunction continues as the fight for a new speaker of the house continues to sputter. >> congressman jim jordan of ohio did not even come close to clinching the speakership. >> he failed rather ignominiously to win the gavel on the first ballot. >> jim jordan has 20 republicans who decided to vote for someone other than him. >> in a few cases, they voted for a guy who isn't even in congress anymore. >> michael: jordan! [applause] that's right. a big loss today for jim jordan, ohio representative, and what happens when you photocopy your grandfather's toe too many times. so -- [laughs] as of now, it has been tw

florida republican byron donalds says no. >> we have to stop this process of bundling in all these disparatejust to try to get the members to vote for it. i think that is the wrong approach. >> reporter: connecticut democrat chris murphy said israel and ukraine need the money now. >> we know there is a huge bipartisan majority for israel aid and for ukraine aid, in both the house and the senate, so why not just do it all at one time? >> reporter: the white house plans to formally unveil that funding request tomorrow. it is worth noting that approving it requires a fully-functioning congress, which does not exist right now, as there is no speaker of the house. norah? >> norah: weijia jiang, thank you. escalating mideast tensions not only prompted that rare global travel alert from the state department, federal law enforcement officials are also warning of potential threats right here in the u.s. we get the details from cbs's catherine herridge.

host: this is from sheila in florida, republican line. caller: i think what is going on with congress is the people are sick of the party. the younger people who came into congress came into be more fiscally responsible and to see the cuts that are needed to bring our debt down. and mccarthy made that backdoor deal to have a cr with no amendments. that is what got the ball going here. what is going on is healthy for our party. we are sick of seeing the party continuing the cr that rolls downhill and just collects more and more pork, more and more foreign spending, more and more garbage. we the taxpayers are seeing nothing. it is going to foreign countries. it is going to progressive, green energy stuff that is failing right and left. we need it to clean up our party and get back to fiscal responsibility, and that is what is going on now. guest: the caller did explain why many of these republicans are doing what they are doing. there is a divide in the republican party. we all know this. we are seeing it plainly. we have seen it over the p

host: brent in florida, republican. caller: good morning. i was watching mark levin last night and i think he's an intelligent individual. abraham lincoln stated that if the country of the united states of america goes down like rome did years ago, it was because of the interior eating away at itself. that's exactly what is happening. we have a big hype going on about what the wars over ukraine and a big hype about the war in israel and palestine and hamas and hezbollah and iran and the rest. that's been going on for many years. we have an interior situation going on in the united states of america with hamas. their sites are all over the country on different states. i would say wake up, america, because i will tell you something right now, we will have a problem in this country and you can see it happening on the campuses of all our universities and colleges. if these people want to fight that bad, they need to put a uniform on and go back to their own country and fight over there, not here. we don't need it here. host: missouri, independen
