blakemore is now the vice chair of the republican conference.bret: let's listen. >> pass h.r. 72-17 on which the yeas and nays are ordered. the clerk will report the title. >> hr 72-17. >> chad: they are going to now. >> they need two thirds for this. we are not guaranteeing this going to pass either. you need this coalition of democrats and republicans to pass. this president biden has threatened to veto this. >> bret: chad, amazing job as always. keeping us honest on capitol hill and there is a lot moving around. i want to bring in our panel early. stand by if you would, chaz the. juan williams, josh holmes, co-host of the ruthless podcast. former chief of staff to senator mitch mcconnell. and mollie hemingway editor and chief of the federalist. okay. josh. kind of crazy. we're now on the israel vote. we should point out this is stand alone funding for israel of $17.6 billion that president biden has vowed to veto, which is also a political kind of question mark. >> it's a huge question mark not the finest dave legislating, this was a huge set

chair at the end of the vote he switched his vote so it was 216-214 it was t215 to 215 and why does blakemore who wanted to impeach mayorkas switch his vote? republicans want to call this back up somewhere in the future at some point they're going to get steve scalise the majority leader out he has been out for cancer treatment and there is a on long island if the republicans win that seat this was a major defeat and this is embarrassing after republicans made all of this noise about alejandro mayorkas and as i say it comes down to the math and they lacked the votes laura praised him if they did not have the votes. chad, thank you so much great joining me is arizona congressman andy biggs congressman, you know what i think about alejandro mayorkas. i have been hammering him since january 2021 but explained to the viewers what the point was in doing this, given the razor thin numbers that you had especially because the real culprit the real culprit is joe biden not alejandro mayorkas who is just the hired help. >> laura, two things about that we could say joe biden should be impeached and that

the vice chair of the republican conference blakemore. now, at the end of the vote he switched his vote so this lost. 216 to 214. it was 215 to 215. by rule, a tie vote loses in the house of representatives. so why did blakemore, who wanted to obviously impeach alejandro mayorkas, switch his vote to no? did he have a change of heart? no. because republicans want to call this back up some time in the future. probably not tonight but some time down the road. they know at some point they are going to get steve scalise, the majority leader back. he has been out for cancer treatments. and there is a special election on long island next week. if republicans win that seat, they might have the votes to impeach. but, still, this was a major defeat tonight. they made a big promise. and this was frankly kind of embarrassing, especially after republicans made all of this noise about alejandro mayorkas and as i always say it comes down to the math and they lacked the votes, laura. >> laura: yeah, do you have the votes? they didn't have the votes. chad

they congressman blakemore was one of four republicans to vote against but he cast his vote with a purpose the last-minute switch allows him to demand a revote at a later date republicans have a chance to impeach the secretary when they have one more vote like when the majority whip steve scalise returns from his cancer treatments. the arizona congressman is looking ahead to the future. >> i feel like it is our duty to try to remove this guy because he is a danger what he is doing is causing irreparable harm and our duty is to go forward and if you are not successful then that is not okay. i would rather be successful but you have to fight the fight or there is no point in you being here trying to do what's right.soon the white house says it's political theater saying clearly there is bipartisan agreement that this baseless unconstitutional impeachment should fail republicans have to realize that extreme stunts are a waste of time and joined the secretary republicans and democrats who want to work together to deliver real solutions that strengthen border security it was a surprise appearan

i think we will be okay, blakemore bravely voted against it and switched his vote so he can bring it. i think we will be okay. when folks go home i suspect their constituents are going to light them up like the fourth of july and they're good to be rearing to get back and vote on this thing. mayorkas lie to us there's no question when the guy repeatedly said there is no problem at the border and yesterday the president even said we have a problem at the border and then he falsely blames republicans with the democrats had control and we said hr two over to the senate and they choose not to do anything with it. it's a joke and what this will show on the elections it gives people a reason to get to the polls and we had the invasion of over 8 million people in the last three years. it cost us 400 billion year, do you understand that just to keep these people up were not to be talking about the illegal drug trafficking of the human trafficking aspect 100,000 children that are lost in the system. maria: i guess what i was questioning why the senate thought anybody wanted them to come up wi

the fourth republican noble yesterday was blakemore, republican conference vice chair.inally voted yes, m and then theot so begin to tie at 25 right at the end of the lease whicht to know again that beinga procedural motion the republicans could bring this impeachment effort up later. they vowed to do so perhaps as early as next week. we are taught that vote yesterday in the house and also when it comes to border issues, the attention switching to the senate today, a procedural motion set to s take place today on that bipartisan border bill. it's chuck schumer was promised to bring up the procedural motion. republicans signaled they will vote no and keep that legislation from advancing. this was chuck schumer yesterday in the senate. >> are you concerned that if you are not able to marshal this prlem, that any sort ofees is bipartisan legislation that we need to work on has any chance of passing? >> look, , we feel this is so important that the security of america the border, security of ukraine and israel, will keep at it. this is not the last republicans will hear fro

utah congressman blakemore was one of four republicans to vote against the impeachment. he cast his vote with purpose. a last-minute switch to no actually allows him to demand a revote later date. meaning republicans still have a chance to impeach mayorkas once they have just one more vote, which could come when house majority whip steve scalise returns from his cancer treatments. but despite the stunning defeat, arizona congressman andy biggs is looking to the future. >> i feel it's like our duty to actually try to remove this guy because i think he is a danger. i think what he is doing is causing irreparable harm and, thus, our daughter is to go forward. and if you are not successful, then that's not okay. i would rather be successful. but you have to fight the fight or else there is no point in you being here trying to do what's right. >> the white house says it is all just political theater, calling the effort baseless and unconstitutional. now, come up on "fox & friends," we will be joined by california republican congressman tom mcclintock who voted no. and florida

blakemore switched his vote from yes to no.lative tool allows the losing side, republicans to try again later. johnson's office has pledged to try again as soon as they have the votes. in the meantime conservatives are furious that johnson's leadership team effectively blew it on the first try. the white house meantime is gloating. ian sam's of the white house council's office told fox clearly bipartisan agreement baseless, unconstitutional impeachment stunt should fail. house republicans ought to realize extreme political stunts like this are a waste of time and instead join the president, secretary mayorkas and republicans and democrats who want to work together to deliver real solutions that actually strengthen border security. that last line is a dig at house republicans whose opposition to the bipartisan border security and national security supplemental tanked a once likely glide path in the senate under pressure from former president trump and now the white house is trying to make the case that republicans own the border
