among republican members, it's
in kevin mccarthy's best
interest to keep everyone on the
floor and keep going to multiple
rounds because once they break
from the floor, they are going
to have to break for a meeting.
and hash it out. we can't do
this forever. we have no sworn
in house members, say we had a
national security crisis,
there's no speaker of the house
right now. this is an untenable
position to carry on purely
because kevin mccarthy will not
step down and try someone else
hike a steve scalise. i thought
it was interesting that his name
was the one floated by ken buck,
because, i worked with ken buck
when he was in the freedom
caucus, he's a pretty
conservative guy. but, he
signalled that he would be
willing to go to the next guy in
line which is scalise, who, by
the way has a highly
professional team, has a
leadership office and could
pretty seamlessly transition
into speaker of the house if it
went that way.
>> listen, this has been a
terrible day or kevin mccarthy.
