seriously, i'm -- i'm more excited than the guy seeing "beetlejuice" with lauren boebert [ laughter ] more excited than a jets fan during the first three plays of the season. [ laughter ] you go, "oh, you gotta be kidding me!" yeah, everyone is excited. today my dad called me up and said, "finally i can watch kimmel again."

representative lauren boebert. i will not sit back and watch complete betrayal i ran because i was sick and tired coming up here and cutting deals and releasing statements. for the latest updates on the speaker election. continuous live coverage. ral republican lawmakers have offered remarks to reporters. here's a look. it's about the continuity of government. i believe the name that was on the list could carry out and keep government running. there is a question to make a question some people say mchenry has that power and some will say he doesn't have all the power. should we allow mcheny --ry have that power. i was speaking to matt gaetz and i told him to sit down and sat down. i think the entire conference -- the whole country is screaming at matt gaetz. crazy eights led by matt gaetz. we have never been in this situation before. how you have 4% of your conference remove a speaker. this is why we are here. no plan afterwards. now we have israel at a war. questions whether the congress can act and questions wher

it's your fellow member of the freedom caucus, lauren boebert. >> oh, lauren, hi.ook, things are going exactly as planned. just keep running for speaker, and even if you don't win, great, the government shuts down, and we blow this whole thing up. stop, stop. oh, my god. >> sorry. are you out somewhere? >> yeah. i got to go. i'm at the theater seeing aladdin. good luck, jim. >> oh, god. what a night. i don't know what else to do. i'm just so close. i only need, what, 100 votes? >> knock, knock, knock. is this the loser's office? >> mr. president, i'm so glad you're here. you endorsed me, and then you just kind of disappeared. >> yeah, well, that's because i prefer the jordans who win, okay? like the great michael jordan or the even greater jordin sparks. no air, remember that? now that was a song. tell me how am i supposed to breathe with no air. you can't. you can't do it. but, jim, i still like you. not like-like. it's more like not-like. like, i don't like you at all. part of it's the jacket. it's the lack of the jacket. you don't look good. you look like the ni

we saw that with margery taylor greene, lauren boebert. that said i do not think matt gaetz is doing this to make scenes as much as i think he loves it. i think part of this is matt gaetz is doing what he thinks donald trump wants him to do. and these eight members of congress are not acting out of their own sort of animus towards kevin mccarthy. they're really acting in a way because they think that donald trump wants them to. and remember we know this because donald trump has gone on truth social and said shutdown the government. and then he was very mad at kevin mccarthy for not shutting down the government. so i think ultimately this is not matt gaetz alone. but, yes, i'm sure he loves the small dollar donations and the media attention. >> yeah, and kurt, mccarthy catering with maga after january 6th, caving into maga demands in exchange for that speakership, but it wasn't enough. so is there a lesson there, selling out to maga really doesn't pay? >> yeah, it's that if you lay down with dogs, you're going to get flees. at the end of th

turns out, lauren boebert is a lot more fun than she seems. [ laughter ] if you missed it, boebert wasrom a performance of "beetlejuice: the musical" in denver for unruly behavior. she was singing loudly, vaping, and getting a little too handsy with her date. and someone we all know well was there to witness this. >> the dcpa says she was vaping. boebert's team denied that, said the haze was from fog machines in the show. that claim goes up in smoke when you see the video. the pregnant woman sitting behind boebert told the denver post she asked her to stop vaping and boebert refused, before ushers returned and told boebert she had to leave. the theater incident report says boebert pulled the "don't you know who i am" card on the way out, appearing to give theater employees the single finger salute. >> jimmy: there's our little tequilajuice. probably the most unpleasant thing that happened to me while we were away is that while we were traveling i had the worst flying experience of my life. >> and a recent delta flight was forced to return after a passenger reportedly suffered diarrhea

in other words, lauren boebert cannot afford to alienate any voters. but these eight people, they could. i think that is an important part of the story here. still with me jen palmieri, co-host of the circus. brenden, it seems to me the safety of the members in these districts really has a role to play in terms of just how insane they can afford to be in the house of representatives. is this the root of the problem? and can republican leadership do anything about it? >> it's the root of what happened today, absolutely. the culture of the house republican conference is always to do whatever is best for the base, and that goes for everything we do. when i first got to the hill, you knew who your majority makers were, those people in the swing districts you had to pay attention to. you understood you couldn't go too far and understood you needed to vote a certain way because they were the ones who kept you in the majority. everything is about not only playing to the base but also throwing your colleagues under the bus. they're very cavalier with some of t

compare that to say, lauren boebert.e was her vote on the house floor today. >> boebert, no, for now. >> nay. >> no for now. congresswoman boebert sort of trying to have it both ways there. she wanted her rebel street cred, but in the end, she didn't actually vote to oust mccarthy. and that may have something to do with the fact that miss boebert's last election was one where she only won by 546 votes. in other words, lauren boebert cannot afford to alienate any voters. but these eight people? they could. and i think that is an important part of the story here. still with me is jen palmieri, executive of the circus. former communications director under president obama. david plouffe, and when the buck. branded, it seems to me, the safety of the members in these districts really has a role to play in just how insane they can afford to be, in terms of their behavior in the house of representatives. is this the root of the problem, and can republican leadership do anything about it? >> it's the root of much deeper than what

lauren boebert has no one to blame for -- but herself or her political problems. district voted for donald trump by eight points but boebert, between some of her past history including her rap sheet, some of her very outspoken statements and behavior including recently being asked to leave a theater performance in denver where she was vaping in the theater. these are some of the reasons why she is in political peril in a district that should be relatively safe. a former securities trader in new york, when you think -- when you see democrat from these resort towns running in western colorado because 70 or 80% of voters in the district are from ranching oil and gas towns or in the case of pueblo, a town that is steel producing. they kind of resent these elite liberals as republicans would frame them to be yet he came within 546 votes of beating lauren boebert. he is sitting on $4.2 million of cash on hand compared to 1.4 million for her. the question really is how much our national republicans willing to come in and invest to bail her out. they didn't think the race

lauren boebert says he is the continuation of the status quo.anwhile, right now, no member has a path to get to the needed number of 217 under house rules. nothing can be done on israel or progress on the funding of the government ahead of the november 17th deadline. frank, doing is now facing a consideration of what with ll happen and how they avoid the shutdown. >> emily, you mentioned a small group of holdouts. what can satisfy them and get the process moving forward? >> reporter: it is difficult because all of them have come forward with different concerns at this point. these wider appeals to unity and needing to get everyone back on track and needing the house to be functional do not seem to be resounding. remember, the reason we are in the situation is not because most republicans were unhappy with kevin mccarthy and oust him, but it was a small number. only eight which led to the current situation. a lot of folks want mccarthy there. this is the difficulty of governing when the majority has a small margin to work. it really only takes a

lauren boebert who has been a critic of mccarthy from back since january when there were 15 rounds for his speakership and she was in the well of the house. critical of kevin mccarthy then. you might have heard her when her name was called this afternoon. she voted no for now on removing mccarthy. that was scott wong's tweet. frank thorpe who has been covering capitol hill for nbc caught up with her walking off the hill in the motion to vacate. i asked, did you say no for now? she said, yeah. i said, that means? she said i don't know what's next. we'll see. let's go to austin in texas, a republican, austin did you watch this afternoon? what do you make of this? caller: yes, i actually did watch. and i i support congressman gaetz. it's a very simple proposition. there was a deal made in january. and that deal was violated here. the only option that these republicans have is to get rid of kevin mccarthy as speaker. it's as simple as that. if you do not follow a deal that was made beforehand, why should you continue to be the speaker? host: who do you think should serve in this post for r

and they are really just running -- and that is matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert.t, nancy pelosi, when she was speaker of the house last time, she had a five seat majority, exactly what given mccarthy has right now. also, i want to point out that when kevin mccarthy was the whip majority whip in the house, he couldn't count and, because he sent lots of bills to the floor that did not pass, and in parents and their speaker boehner. so that's that. doctor nii-quartelai, molly jong-fast, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show. and before we go, we want to wish a special happy birthday to the 39th president of the united states, jimmy carter. today, he turns 99. and it is officially the longest living u.s. president. here in washington, d.c., the white house honors his legacy with a wooden cake, topped with 39 candles on display on the north lawn. meanwhile, in georgia, the jimmy carter presidential library and museum in atlanta will host a celebration for the public. and the former president who celebrate with his wife, roslyn, their children, grandchildren

matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert, they are not governors. they were put in place to destroy the government as we know it. then to israel. that is so sad. all of those innocent people are being slaughtered because of politics. because of politics. acta donald trump, let's -- back to donald trump. he just made a reference to how brilliant hamas is. and people in america want to vote him back into office knowing donald trump don't care nothing about them. he does not have any kind of camaraderie with these people. he don't care about these people. host: richard in cincinnati, ohio. independent line. caller: there has been so much distortions about the palestinians and that whole thing, this guy calling in and saying it is anti-god to be against israel. this is ridiculous. let's have a balanced view of these things. let me mention that a jewish historian wrote two books, one is the ethnic cleansing of palestine, and the next is the biggest prison on earth. you can see what he was trying to get at. partly, even in the propaganda film exodus they

nbc news notes at least eight hold outs against scalise including lauren boebert of colorado, chip roymax miller of ohio, and marjorie taylor greene of georgia. congressman ken buck of colorado, meanwhile, voted present during the nomination process yesterday. he said neither scalise nor jordan would clearly say if they believe the 2020 election was legitimate, something buck insists the next speaker must do. as for when a vote on the house floor could take place, democratic leadership tells nbc news they anticipate about an hours heads up from republicans when they're ready to vote, so who knows when that will be. interim speaker patrick mchenry says leaders could get as little as 15 minutes lead time. a lot today and potentially tomorrow on capitol hill. joining us now congressional reporter for the hill. great to see you again. you're doing such hard work for us this week. first of all, let's go back to yesterday. and walk us through how the nomination battle played out behind closed doors. scalise and jordan both whipping votes. it was seen as being very close for a while, but then

caucus-blocked by the mental patient wing of the party. [ laughter ] including marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebertand george santos who wrote last night, "it's just past 9:40 p.m. and i have yet to hear from the speaker-designate. and after 10 months and having had zero contact, or outreach from him, i've come to the conclusion that my vote doesn't matter to him. i'm now declaring, i'm an anyone but scalise. and come hell or high water, i won't change my mind. we need a speaker that leads by including every single member of the team, not just some, that's not leadership!" oh my stars. [ laughter ] it must have been very frustrating for santos waiting by the phone, waiting to hear from scalise. you know, they only give you one call in prison. [ laughter ] [ applause ] santos then tweeted his support for jim jordan. santos likes jordan because when jim jordan sees a crime, he keeps his mouth shut. [ laughter ] what a mess. the house only has until november 17th to pass legislation to fund the government or there will be a shutdown. but they can't do anything until they have a speaker. in the meantim

somebody's centrum silver kicked in extra hard. [ laughter ] the old bat was shoulder to shoulder with lauren boebertlook at those two, beetle and prune juice together. [ laughter ] but the biggest loser of the day is former speaker kevin mccarthy, who yesterday floated the idea that he would be reinstalled as speaker with jim jordan as his "assistant speaker." which is, as far as i know, not even a thing. how would an assistant speaker work? mccarthy says something, then jim jordan says, "i also say that"? [ laughter ] but that isn't happening now that johnson is in charge. by the way, even though mike johnson tried to decertify biden's election win, biden called johnson to congratulate him winning the election because that's what normal people do. biden said he looked forward to working together to find common ground and johnson said he looked forward to burning democracy to the ground. [ laughter ] he had all the backing of all the major caucasians, by the way, including mike pence, who wrote -- "mike johnson is a proven conservative leader with a servant's heart. i urge every member to vote to el

as you mentioned, the president is traveling to colorado today, specifically to lauren boebert's districtn hard liners. he is trying to paint a contrast there, particularly on his inflation reduction act. he is trying to show how this is bringing thousands of jobs to one of the largest windmill makers in the country. he is trying to paint a contrast between himself and extreme republicans. many americans cannot argue with jobs, investment into manufacturing, and he is hoping to create that contrast. even though he is doing this in a very red district that's not likely to vote for him, he is certainly hoping to create the contrast. that is central to his election campaign, as well. >> no question there. there will be real security concerns about a trip to israel. this is a president who had a secret trip to kyiv. there is a sense that russia, once given the heads-up, wouldn't try anything. unclear whether hamas would listen to those warnings. akayla garner, thank you for joining us this morning. >>> thanks for getting up "way too early" with us on this monday morning. jam-packed "morning j

also tonight, matt gaetz who initiated the moment to vacate against mccarthy and lauren boebert who held up mccarthy's leadership, they would be willing to support jim jordan, they do so enthusiastically, not everyone is on board with speaker jim jordan. on abc it's called the view. sunny houseton famed outrage for the speaker jim jordan, take a look. >> i testified in front of congress about something so simple, cameras in courtrooms. he came in late. he looked disheveled and he immediately was screaming and yelling and terror rised me and the other experts on the panel. describing him as terrorist is exactly that. he is a chaos agent. >> sean: you want to do that again so people at home can hear you? the poor little snowflakes got offended that somebody raised their voice slightly. the same of it. by the way, when my father would hit me with a belt i didn't actually raise my voice. how did this country -- we used to be the land of the free, home of the brave, when did we become the land of the snowflake. how judicial committee chairman jim jordan. congressman, great to see you. i have

lauren boebert, nancy mace do not seem to want to govern.to govern. they're all in this. tweeting something out on fox news and say some crazy stuff. i think we have come to a point in time, and i think this is speaker, you know, mccarthy's fault. he created this frosty environment that he has when he basically let the animals of the zoo out of their cages. and now, he's wondering why there is bears coming to the zookeeper trying to tear his arms and legs off of him. it's his fault. he allowed this thing, this circus to sort of go contended to, and now, he is suffering the bulk of the repercussions of it, as well as support, our country is suffering repercussions for his inability to lead. >> so, matt gaetz, or marjorie taylor greene, who believe as long as they have the mic, as long as they have the headlines, they are winning. is that really the case, because, david, former speaker newt gingrich, who is not a george bush republican, and he is still a republican daddy who has a lot of say and power. it's actually asking if gaetz is secretly

that's the second-happiest a man has ever looked sitting next to lauren boebert. idea that has been floated by republicans and even some democrats is to give the interim speaker, who of course is known for his line of gourmet popping co corn, the gavel while they figure this out. his name is patrick mchenry. he is a conservative republican but respected by both sides. put up his picture again. this guy makes mike pence look like tupac. [ laughter ] meanwhile, no one is talking about the obvious choice for speaker. which is -- the mypillow man, mike lindell. he would be a great speaker. if they work late, he's got pillows for everybody. he's -- well, that's basically it. [ laughter ] but pillows, at this point, that might be enough. can you imagine mike lindell sitting behind biden at the state of the union? chewing on his mustache? clapping like a seal? it would be great, right? [ laughter ] mike is having financial difficulties right now, and so he's planning some kind of telethon, a mikelindellethon, to raise money for his defense fund. and guess who he very muc

brendan's point, he does make a good point, people who control the caucus are marjorie green, lauren boebertshe is not at beetle juice being weird, those are the people who actually run the caucus. have you seen a coalition of republicans that you all could go to and say, give us five of you and we will form a coalition? do you know of any of those folks who would be willing to do that? >> i don't know of any but i think the best of the republican party is not on display. and unfortunately they never put their best forward. there are some people that i absolutely believe are a lot better than the people that are stepping up and want to control this crazy caucus. there is no controlling this caucus. and so long as this rule stays in place, which those same eight most likely will vote to keep this rule in place, they still need to talk to democrats. you need to talk to democrats if you want a rule change and hold on to your job. you need to talk to democrats if you actually want to pass a budget. there are those that do not care about keeping the government open. i keep trying to tell people t

lauren boebert is still a member of congress, and matt gaetz was able to successfully lead an insurrection sitting speaker for the first time in history. so i think when you look at what steve bannon and these guys are doing, bannon is the one who is saying flood the zone with crap, to use a different word. he's not a person who supports democracy. he admires lenin. these are illiberal populists. these people are dangerous and everything you see now it is trickle down until the into the house of representatives is dysfunctional as hell, the rhetoric, propaganda, and reminding our institutions, this is all part of that ploy to undermine our democracy to the demagogues and dictators and people like steve bannon in the matt gaetz's of the world have power in influence, for? what clicks? viral moments? a show on fox? >> it's a tempting delusion for every sort of tightly radicalized small minoritarian faction, they can be lenin, they can show up at the winter palace of the right time to take power. they create leverage that doesn't exist, even if they don't have majority support. that is always

. >> when you close your eyes and think what a conservative is, and then you think about how lauren boebert matt gaetz, and marjorie taylor greene conduct themselves, there's the word conservative hunter your mind? >> no, but -- there is a strong majority in both the house, and the senate to find the ukrainian war effort. so how can this group dictate to the majority, and we have a -- ukraine is going to be funded. but they are trying to accommodate these people who want a pelosi outcome. that is undemocratic by the way. how can a small minority insist on an outcome when they keep losing the vote. and with the former speaker in this case should not try to accommodate them. i think that has been part of the problem. they just keep trying to take care of people who have no interest. >> he tried to accommodate them, and i want to go back to what we were saying, before and then he went on television and lied about democrats. watch this. >> i wasn't sure it was going to pass, you want to know, white because the democrats try to do everything they cannot to let it pass. the democrats stick togeth

why not lauren boebert as speaker of the house?e saw at that beetlejuice musical, she does know how to reach across the aisle. [ rim shot ] [ laughter and applause ] some of the maga wing of the party is floating the idea of donald trump would make a great speaker of the house. turns out, you don't need to be in congress to be the speaker. trump hasn't confirmed whether or not he would be interested in the job, but he did announce he'd already won the vote. "it was a landslide maybe bigger than a landslide." he did not attend his fraud trial today in new york. he reportedly got frustrated yesterday and left halfway through it like it was don junior's 10th birthday party or something. [ laughter ] of course he left. did we actually expect him to sit there and listen to testimony day after day? the man has the attention span of a baby goldfish swimming in a bowl full of four loko. [ laughter ] and on top of everything else we have a new report from abc news that says trump shared classified information about our nuclear submarine cap

seriously i'm more excited than the guy seeing "beetle juice" with lauren boebert.during the first three plays of the season. you've got to be kidding me! everyone is excited. today my dad called me up and said finally i can watch kimmel again. we were off the air for so long "the bachelor" went from this to this. i mean what happened? what happened? it was kind of weird coming back after being gone for five months. the studio was so empty for so long nbc converted into the spirit of halloween. >> that's jimmy fallon up here on the sixth floor here at 30 rock. we're turning to the tonight show last night after the writer's strike ended. time now for business and for that let's bring in cnbc's julianna tatelbaum who joins us live from london. good morning, julianna. stock futures are relatively unchanged tlrng following a session that saw the 10-year treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007. tell us what that's about and what can we expect today? >> hey, john, good morning. we've been watching bond yields rise for several weeks now in the u.s. a lot of the mov

that includes marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert.carthy's speakership. they both said they're not ready to support steve scalise for speaker. then you have nancy mace and bob bud, who are still a no on mccarthy no on scalise. no consistent ask. there's no one thing scalise needs to do. a lot of the members are withholding to a conservative base that wants him to do magic, to make a democratic senate and democratic president except very conservative bills that they narrow republican house might passed. democrats are never going. two house colleagues resolve that, it's unclear. most republicans i spoke to today say he shares a governing vision, the same as what kathy. it did not that different aisle policy. but the one area where he might have a leg up, chris, is that he doesn't have the same personality clashes and feuds with people like matt gaetz and kevin mccarthy does. that is, if anything, his ace on the hole right now. >> the other part of this, there's no actual consistent caucus here, even a governing project that unites every

who call for the execution of quote, solemnly promoting -- general mcneely just last, week and lauren boeberts. last, month george santos who is under federal indictment lied about his entire life. but they got worked up about jamal bowman setting off a fire alarm in the cannon office. building of, course when there is an actual attack on the capitol building that was quote, legitimate political discourse. who are they getting here? >> seriously. mehdi, what do you respect expect from a republican party that is fully endorsed, justified and excuse to the behavior of donald trump? who was president was impeached twice, now indicted on 91 counts and four separate trials. it is the height of hypocrisy for republicans to turn a blind eye to the leader of the insurrection against the capitol while calling for jamal bowman to be expelled. i have to say, i think i can do one better. i don't know if you saw this post from the coup leader himself, trump, who is now calling for jamal bowman to face the same fate as the six insurrectionists who are obstructing an official congressional proceeding. i mea

white smoke coming from the capitol rotunda, it means they've either picked a new speaker or lauren boebert is vaping again. speaking of smoke, the first us state to allow sales of medical marijuana at regular pharmacies will be georgia of all places. sorry, colorado, you're asleep at the wheel. it's georgia starting soon. drugstore shoppers in georgia will be able to buy their fiber gummies and their weed gummies at the very same place. and if you thought the line at the pharmacy window was slow before, wait till it's going to be very interesting to see something that has been illegal for most of our lives, been taboo, suddenly available like walgreens. but even though it isn't on the shelves quite yet, one local shop in georgia is ready to go at top health pharmacy. >> we've cared for your family for more than 55 years from head colds to skinned knees. we've been there and now for the first time, we carry all the weed you can eat. so stop by and try our new selection of cannabis products, then wander mindlessly through our aisles, maybe pick up a 5 pound bag of reese's peanut butter cups

political nihilism and showboating and play acting, like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert and andy biggs and all the rest of weirdo caucus, you are going to end up with situations like this, where they will try, in the house, to exploit the budget process to, as charlie dent mentioned, to put in these ridiculous riders in these bills, and the senate -- tommy tuberville, who held up until, apparently, today, over 300 military appointments and nominations. so, all these factors about reassessing, it they presume that we will be dealing with rational actors. and none of these people in the hyper maga wing of the party are rational actors. they would have liked the shutdown to occur. they want the chaos. they want the confusion. they want the economic damage to the country. they want to delay ukraine aid to help vladimir putin, who they side with. there is nothing about these people that you can look at them and say, they are rational actors. and even kevin mccarthy, a man with the spinal structure of the average octopus, managed today to say, you know what? i am done playing

>> lauren boebert tweeted she's willing to release her claims on the motion to vacate if jim jordan is speaker. but i asked her yesterday coming out of freedom caucus meeting what she thought about the republicans pushing to change the motion to vacate, and she basically held strong. so it seems like maybe she's changing her mind, depending on who it might be. so she's not going to make that concession to steve scalise, but just if it's her pony that might win the speaker's race. >> john: interesting next week. kevin hern will be on cavuto coming up. good to see you, good luck. >> sandra: a former close friend of alleged crypto con man sam bankman-fried testifying against him in federal court. but could the prosecutor's case prove too confusing for the jury? charlie is here with the latest. hi, i'm william devane. did you know it took our founders 116 days to debate and draft the u.s. constitution? turns out they didn't trust the printing of paper money, but they did trust gold and silver. article 1, section 10. gold and silver. good for the founders, good for me, good for you. rosland

people like matt gaetz, loan border -- lauren boebert. predictable if you gave them power, they would throw bombs. sure enough, they did. they try to shut down the basic functioning of government. you played a clip of mccarthy saying you have people who won't vote from the must spending bills -- omnibus spending bills. if you refuse your basic obligation to pass bills to keep the government open, are responsible at the end of the day if the tsa is not paid, military is paid, if wic can't pay, snap can't pay, if people going on holidays to national parks find the parks are shuttered. mccarthy realized if you let the government shut down, the republicans would be blamed fully and squarely for the consequences. mccarthy is nothing if not an opportunist. he once political power. at the end of the day, mccarthy cut a deal democrats to keep government open. it is entirely predictable given the fact he seated at the right the power to challenge him if a single member of congress wanted to challenge him, tyler predictable within minutes of that c

the only thing less sexy than that is footage from lauren boebert state nights.ho else is there, -- vivek ramaswamy. for that ramaswamy in this country, we have an epidemic of wokeism. we can choose american independence or being subservient to ukraine. which do you prefer? he is like that can latinos everything. he so jacked up on. something he so intense. he's way too intense. by the way mitch mcconnell was not on the debate, i will say. i admire his statements on dianne feinstein. it was a little bit jarring, they looked young when talking about diane feinstein. rest in peace. it was weird, which mcconnell was the guy two weeks ago who was asked, will you be seeking reelection in 2026? he received bonded, what? mitch, mitch. the last time you are on the show, a couple days ago, it was a night before the freeze, it was not intentional. ron desantis, a tough guy act, said he was going to send troops to the border. he was trying to flex. human beings are supposed to go like this, he delivers a statement. let me tell you, when i take the oath of office, i'm going

and we're waiting on congresswoman lauren boebert who has been coy on where she is on this, jake, those the ten defying the speaker, even though they're in the minority of the minority, the fact that they're voting with democrats shows that this is major danger territory for the speaker of the house to keep his job to potentially push him out which is expected this afternoon, declaring the office of the speaker vacant. because of the support of these members, along with democrats to oust kevin mccarthy, that's what -- this will be the end result of these votes here, that are happening. so those ten members, those ten and counting, are voting to kick kevin mccarthy out here, jake. we'll see where this vote ends up it's not looking good for the speaker. 2 215 votes against mccarthy, 204 votes for mccarthy. if all voting, 218 will be the magic number but there are some absences here. it looks like kevin mccarthy is going to lose his first key vote here, jake. >> right. there's still 12 members of congress who have not voted. we know at least one of them is nancy pelosi who is back in san f
