remember, only 9 votes separate christine jones and andy biggs. every vote is crucial. jones had spent about $1.6 million of her own money on this race vote count up until that last votes put andy biggs over the top. she filed her suit in superior code but andy biggs is calling it illegal hairy male -- hail mary. >> eating chaos and disruption. you need the vote count to change. the job of the attorney is to challenge the election is to throw a wrench into the gears. make something change, for the face up. >> reporter: despite the loss of this legal fight it's far from over. there is another court date scheduled for thursday. is a recount scheduled for one week from tomorrow. one interesting though, if after the recount these 2 are deadlocked, the entire campaign and election will be decided by a game of chance, like a flip of a coin. forecast. a live look outside. a calm day. mostly clear conditions. the high today around 101. still below average. we're sitting it 98. a few clouds are filtering in. windsor light out of the east at 3 miles per hour. were going to see a

right now we have five votes for andy biggs. we have three votes for the person's here jim banks of indiana, jim jordan and another person getting the vote as well. so the more votes that have a mccarthy does not get my name and someone doesn't vote present, that is bad news for him here that is why early on in the vote we know this is going to go 22nd ballot for the first time as you say and 100 years. the reason why they are going through this vote right now, it is the first order of vote in the house of representatives once they determine a quorum and everybody into the chamber for the first vote at noon they have a speaker. the first order of business and a new congress is electing a speaker. that is why the house is frozen, paralyzed until it gets a speaker you cannot vote on legislation and you can't put people on committees and you can't start investigation and the hunter biden's laptop, none of that. they can't swear the members and cured right now all of these people you see sitting on the house floor are technically re

no brooks, andy biggs, jim jordan, scott barry.uys has really faced account ability as you get more serious questions from law enforcement officials. give me a sense of the complications of potentially prosecuting or at least charging a member of congress, as you see it. >> there are a few challenges with that. you know that scott perry had his phone seized by federal investigators as part of the look at donald trump and the broader plot. he was a key player in the effort to apply the justice department to help to what he did in 2020. so, now, again, he wasn't charged over that and we don't know where that path led doj. it is hard to penetrate congress. they have speech or debate protection in the constitution, almost the full immunity from being criminally pursued over there on official business. now, the january 6th session of congress, even though it is about an election, it is part of official business. they are casting votes to certify an election. getting inside that and compelling these people to talk or even just to get a l

andy biggs says he will be nominated.rs can choose to vote by name or abstain or leave the chamber or vote present. they can vote present. these are the scenarios to win. if all members vote, if everybody is there you need a majority cast by name. that's important. majority of the votes cast for a candidate by name. excuse me. so it's a 218 threshold. 218 votes if everybody votes and everybody vote force somebody by name. that's unlikely to happen. that's how you get started. the threshold drops by one, that 218 number drops by one for every two members who do not vote or vote present that take themselves out of cassianing by name. kevin mccarthy's math which is what makes this so interesting. if six republican members just decided to go to the sidelines and protest threshold drops 2015. if ten members go to the sidelines in protest, the number would drop to 213. here's where it gets dicey. if 12 vote present then the threshold drops to 212. there are 212 democrats would could be in that room. if the critics wanted to pla

votes tonight separate christine jones and andy biggs district 537 votes. how does the campaign manager himself and up inside that room? derek has more, live. >>reporter: the short answer is it has to do with it first, first serve policy accounting as rapping at the longer inside. the moment she found out his role she kicked him out tabulating room. you can see there are observers from each political party in the tabulating room and one of those chairs is occupied by andy biggs campaign manager. according to the recorder's office he was in the room all day yesterday and in the room for 90 minutes today purcell the manual this is an observer cannot have ties to a campaign but it is generally understood this person should be neutral. the guy that takes the observer and signs off on it is the party chair. he picks these people on a first-come, first-served basis and he does not see anything wrong. >> just observing and watching. that sounds like the campaign >> whose job is it to determine there is a neutral person? >> that should be the county chairs. they sh

present. >> andy biggs voting present. and if everyone votes the same way this time the way they voted last time, with the exception of andy biggs, then kevin mccarthy will finally on the 15th ballot win the speakership. let's listen in. we still have some more votes. we have lauren boebert to listen to. >> mccarthy. bishop of georgia. jeffreys. bishop of north carolina, mccarthy. blumenauer? jeffreys. rochester, jeffreys. boebert. >> present. >> so lauren boebert votes present, which is what she did last time. again, if matt gaetz continues to vote present or if any other of the holdouts switch, that's it. it does look, i have to say -- although i -- i hesitate to make any predictions, but if i was kevin mccarthy right now, which is a tough thing to imagine, but if i were, i would think, okay, finally we got all of the dominos in place. >> and you know, it's funny, we were talking about the unprecedented things we saw play out on the floor. mccarthy has been careful with how he's conducted himself on the floor. >> until a

what does andy biggs want to be able to do this? no doubt about it this is a great day with democrats and the senate come at the second best thing that could happen to him. because pretty much completely we will lose the house since 2022. >> john: you mentioned you did have a kaleidoscope so you don't remember last time this happened but get to the point where this looks like it might be headed, you might need to pull out the ten type because we are back in the 1800s. in terms of history as we look ahead to this. >> john, there were other issues back then. the least controversial thing happening. >> john: right about that time. but as we tried to deal with karl and he wouldn't put forward potential candidates but let's game this out. if mccarthy comes to the realization -- if nothing changes, first of all, let's say that, if nothing changes, mccarthy can't get to the magic number whether 218 or something else, and he agrees, okay, my dream of becoming speaker will never be realized. now we go to someone else. who is this someone els

andy biggs, not only has i think a reasonable mind, i think he can step back from this. he will also be very influential on others. as goes biggs, i think a number of them will also go. i really do. and for, you know, matt rosendale has to look people in the mirror and say you are criticizing the speaker for working with democrats but you are the one that will be voting with the democrats today. so -- >> john: yeah, an interesting point to make. we won't have to wait long when the roll is called to find out how biggs voted, at least his name is not zimmerman. might have to wait a long time if it were. jason, good to see you. thanks so much. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> john: at this hour, house speaker kevin mccarthy fighting to hold on to the gavel with the house set to vote on a motion to oust him. breaking coverage continues with hour two of "america reports." john roberts in washington. good to have somebody with your experience here. >> aishah: i'm glad to be here. all hell is breaking loose -- >> john: can we say it? it's true. >> aishah: chad pergram is i

andy biggs is in nomination. he voted for himself. matt gaetz voted for biggs. bob good voted for biggs. we haven't heard from norman or rosen dale. these are all defections i'm marking off here. these are all defections we have seen so far. andy harris voted for lee cel don. so if the move from healthcare car thi's folks after this first vote is concluded is to move immediately into a second vote, they would obviously hope some of these republicans who voted for other names just get persuaded and vote for mccarthy. that would be their ideal situation. the other possibility, the other thing i think they would hope for is if some of these names say like an a day harris, instead of voting for somebody else by name if they just started voting present, because that does change the math. anybody voting present or abstaining changes the magic number. there are 434 members-elect who are this voting. the vote counts if you vote for somebody by name. if you vote present, it's not considered an official vote. if you abstain, it's not considered an official vote. it's the

and thank you to andy biggs and co-chair babin for leading this. we know the numbers the biden administration helped well over 12, 13 million illegals to invade our country the past four years, some, two, three million of which are known got-aways and these are the ones with the criminal ties ap the terrorist backgrounds and the ones trafficking the terrible things into our country. we know hundreds of thousands of felons who are here illegally, and this has all been done on purpose by the biden administration. democrats believe that everybody around the world, the seven billion people who don't live in the united states have the right to come here with no limit legally or illegally. now that the border will begin to be sealed come january 20, we're going to find out who is here. when their accomplices can no longer stream unrestricted across the border sad is a-- sadly, we are going to find out who is here. that's why tom homan on the direction of president trump to have this massive deportation is so important and so criminal, literally, for thes

and there are more conservative lawmakers that will vote to someone else, andy biggs. ands you mentioned, not since 1923 a house speaker vote has gone to more than one ballot. rather hissism day. >> during that first vote what is the vote and what does it look like? >> he needs the majority of the house, not just the majority of house republicans which he does have in a closed door session, republicans, most of them agreed that kevin mccarthy is the current republican leader would be their nominee. but there are five republicans that have said they will vote against him, like matt gaetz or lauren boebert said she would vote against mccarthy. and that group right now, a lot of the members of the house freedom caucus are conservative members are looking for rules changes that would empower them, the main one the motion to vacate the chair, the way to oust the speaker and that takes a member to call that motion, but republicans especially in mccarthy camp. the compromised number is five. and this is the same motion that ended the speakership of john boehner. and not able

andy biggs is going to vote 26th in the order, right now we are on 12 so that we are coming up and andy biggs will be the first one called, critically there, boebert will be called, and obviously all the drama surrounding him, he's gonna be the 140th name that is called. but again, for mccarthy standpoint, three present votes from this list, or two votes from mccarthy for this list, that will do it for him. one president, and one vote for mccarthy. that will do it for him. and again, i'm just looking at, him andy biggs, is the first that we are going to hear from this crucial list. we are about ten names away from andy biggs right now. and when he is called, then folks, you'll then hear five more names, and then it will be boebert. so again, one vote for her car there and one present, does it. >> it feels for me, we are listening for andy biggs is up for about seven names now. let's just listen. >> mccarthy. barr. mccarthy. bear again. jeffries. dina florida. mccarthy. -- hakeem jeffries. fits? mccarthy. -- jeffrey is. bird man. mccarthy. buyer? jeffries. -- mccarthy!

jason: and we're back with arizona congressman andy biggs with.inst michael sussmann is actually going to trial. what's thest that you're hearing? >> well, hearing that there's some e-mails that durham has found that again show that sussmann lied to the fbi and that he also lied and misrepresented regarding the connection of all of this with dnc, which is the democrat national committee, and the clinton campaign and who paid for his bogus, you know, information that he was throwing out there. so it is pretty interesting to see, and i'm not sure that the clinton campaign folks or the democrat party wants to see this go to trial and air their dirty laundry even further. jason: the allegation is that michael sussmann got in with a meeting with the general counsel there will at the federal bureau of investigation by representing that he wasn't representing anybody, but there's other documentation and flow of money and laws and what not. that's why this is a case that is important, because these people have this incestuous relationship do be able to ac

back story on andy biggs?who was on the forefront of election denialism. he exchanged text messages with mark meadows asserting legislatures could throw out results and how they voted in order to send and make donald trump the president. but also andy biggs is the face of defiance. i think over the last ten years, you have watched those defiant voices in the republican party from ted cruz to andy biggs, lauren boebert, donald trump himself, defiance wins among republican voters. until republican voters shoot them down in the primary, last little reason to step away. >> they have shot a lot of them down. lauren boebert almost fell down. let's talk about primary elections. one of the concessions that kevin mccarthy made was by proxy i guess his superpac head a deal with the club for growth to not put money into open seats for gop primaries. how does that affect who gets elected to congress? >> well, it's a commitment from mccarthy's political machine that they are not going to vie to unseat some of these rebels

number. >> john: shannon, the people who are being worked on by mccarthy and his team we are told andy biggs, matt rosendale, eli crane are seen as ones with the most potential to come over to mccarthy's side. when you look at what biggs has said, drop out mccarthy, we need new leadership, you would think that's going to be a hard sell. could he get either crane or rosendale, if he got both of them, probably be just about there. >> they could be done. boebert and gaetz, people have said there's no way they are voting for him. so i think they have to hone in on those 2 or 3 they think are flipable, and listen, anything can happen. overnight enough conversations that some of the hardest critics of mccarthy were convinced they had the concessions. again, still having the conversations publicly making the statements. if any part of this framework falls apart i'm out. so it's tenuously held together, what else is it going to take. that's what i ask the people in the conversations, what did the holdouts want, and nobody seems to be able to answer that question at this point. mccarthy cannot give t
