tom massey voted for tom emmer. ralph norman voted for jim jordan. keith self voted for byron donalds. we saw mike johnson and ralph norman and keith self walk off the floor of the house a few minutes ago. we have been playing with the math here. what is the latest in area you came up with? guest: to be speaker, you need more votes than anyone else, which is what johnson has. johnson needs an absolute majority of votes cast for a named visual. -- individual. because everyone has voted for a named individual, johnson needs 218 votes. if those three republicans, one of them decides i will vote for johnson but the other two cannot bring themselves to do it, but one of the two does not vote, votes present, the denominator changes and johnson needs 217, not 218. host: if one votes for johnson, one votes present. guest: one votes present and the other, probably tom massey votes for a third candidate. because that third person voted present, johnson needs 217 and he would be elected speaker. host: the camera has been following ralph norman, republican of so

tom emmer. emmer. was the voice of kentucky congressman thomas massie, who voted instead for the majority whip thomas emmer. two others ralph norman of south carolina and keith self of texas also voted for alternative speakers. the magic number forjohnson was 218 — he was two short. and so began a frenzied hour of wheeling and dealing. asjohnson tried to shift the norman and self into the yes column. and in the end it worked. the house will be in order. mr norman- _ the house will be in order. mr norman. johnson. mr self. johnson _ johnson. applause tojohnson�*s on the first round this was the moment the last few minutes as he was escorted by his fellow congressmen to begin a second term as house speaker. at the republicans hope the slender list of margins in the house this was not as wild as 2023, nonetheless the vote today will raise concerns of bigger problems ahead. before we came on airas but air as but the republican just before we came on air, i spoke to republican congressman from tennessee tim

i'll turn it over to whip emmer. mr.er: as a former hockey player and a coach, i've seen firsthand the powerful impact that sports can have, especially on young people. it's not just about the game or the trophies, though those are nice. it's about the lessons you learn along the way, discipline, the value of hard work and working together as a team, and the importance of setting a goal and seeing it through. but now, unfortunately, that space is being taken. we've seen the radical left take a playing field for female athletes and turn it into a political minefield. what should be an opportunity for young women to thrive and compete has been clouded by an agenda that prioritized so-called inclusion over fairness. rather than standing firm for what's right and ensuring young women have the opportunity to succeed on their own merit, democrats have caved to an ideology that simply denies common sense. what's been the result? repeated cases of female athletes being exploited in their locker rooms, robbed of scholarship oppor

tom emmer, the majority whip, jim jordan, a prominent committee chairman. they all tried to become speaker in the last congress, charles, and they failed. they could not get the votes to become speaker. in the case of jordan, there were three rounds of voting on the house floor and he lost votes to time. so, mike johnson is the only option for republicans right now. that, i think, works to his benefit because there is no one that can really threaten his grip on power, but this is still going to be very difficult and complicated. take a guy like chip roy, who was already demonstrated he is willing to buck the party and president-elect donald trump president-elect donald trump attacked him and has already threatened him with a primary opponent. what does chip roy have to lose? i mean, he is a free agent. to be fair to him, the issues he cares about, he is very principled and is not oftentimes willing to yield, so he is not the only one. again, as i told you, it is not just members that share chip roy's dna, but those on the other extreme of the house republic
