democrats will hope for you jeffrey spread -- will vote for hakim jeffries. that will be in animas. whoever republicans are holding out on, whether it is police, mccarthy or somebody else, that is possible. patrick mchenry is respected by democrats but i do not think he would get democratic votes, but he is respected in the conference. he is a possible speaker even though he says he does not want it. host: let's talk about the idea of electing someone behind closed doors versus the public seeing that vote like in january. guest: one of the challenges is that people have different incentives to take positions behind closed doors versus publicly. we have seen some push from some elements of the republican conference to try and find everyone who is chosen behind closed doors on the floor. historically, there is no rule to do that. it was just an expectation. but we have reached a point where the divisions are serious enough in the republican conference that we are seeing this push from some numbers -- some members -- when that vote comes on the floor. host: bobby said in the past they

extremist and some of these moderate republicans should come together with the democrats and put hakim jeffries in the speaker's chair. i don't think that will happen that is when i feel like should happen. i feel like hakeem jeffries could unite the house together with the ongoing conflicts in ukraine and israel. host: are there any republicans you would be okay with moderate democrats supporting for speaker ? is there a republican you feel like you would be okay with them supporting? caller: maybe patrick mchenry. there are not many republicans left. i wish liz cheney was still in congress. host: the house getting ready to come in. this is fremont, republican. caller: i am actually from jim jordan's district. i would have never voted for the man. i think him being speaker of the house will spell disaster for the country.

one thing i am confident is that hakim jeffries will have the votes of the democratic caucus.hen we are asked to nominate the next speaker. thank you so much. >> one last thing? you know, when we look at what the republicans are doing with reference to speaker and moving over, the world is looking at it. we're supposed to be the examples of democracy, and democracy is at stake all over the planet. that's what ukraine is about. that's what part of what israel is about, to standing up with countries, our friends and allies because of the values that we share. and when you show the dysfunctioning republican party, the world is wondering what's happening in the united states. that's why xi jinping says that democracy is failing. so i would hope that the republicans listen and take the lead of leader jeffries and we can show the world if they would just come and work with us what democracy is really all about, and we can continue our global leadership to show that democracy can be messy, but it's the best thing that's on this planet. thank you. >> thank you.

a representative of the democratic party, the leader of the house democrats representatives, hakim jeffries. but as of now, it is clear that none of the parties, both within the republican party and actually between. across party lines, democrats and republicans are in no rush to compromise their positions or their ambitions, and are in no rush to compromise on whether lawmakers believe the current... both to ukraine and israel, here the opinions of republicans and democrats are somewhat divided. i suggest listen to what representatives of both parties told me yesterday on the floor of congress. i am concerned that the delay in appointing a speaker will have a negative impact on our ability to quickly provide funding and support to israel and ukraine. especially ukraine, which needs it very much right now, and israel will soon need our additional help , we need to do it, another important issue is the shutdown, the shutdown of the government, if we agree to a package of additional allocations for israel and ukraine, and then shut down the government, this will lead to cuts in critical us fu

our leader hakim jeffries says: "we are always ready for dialogue if there is a real compromise."ct, now there are no formal or informal changes. we can't control who they decide or don't decide to nominate, but at the end of the day nothing can be done without the support of both parties, because the senate is... controlled by the democrats, i don't think so, a coalition is not necessary, after all, the republicans have a majority in the house of representatives, even among the republicans, unfortunately, there are some differences right now, but i hope that the coalition does not enough, let me point out that despite the fact that both the democrats and the republicans have not yet unanimously confirmed the coalition talks, they behave that one way or another sooner or later they will still have to cooperate, because they will have to agree bills, we will have to agree on the government's budget, and one way or another, the senate has a majority of democrats, and the republicans and democrats will still have to come to an agreement in the end. yes, katya, thank you for the infor

from hakim jeffries, a leader of the democratic party, have some interesting thoughts on this question as well. the extreme mega republicans are focused on loading up of these appropriations bills with their right wing ideological wish list. and that is why the house is unable to function at this moment, under extreme mag, of republican leadership. and why we believe they are barreling, the american people toward a government shut down that may crash the economy and certainly will hurt every day americans. jeff, what democratic leader hakeem jeffreys space, say this is big show going on over there and that's all of them. is that giving any momentum at all to joe? but yeah, well it's if that's a part of it and, and, and later jeff is absolutely right about that. and it's, but it's bigger than that. and that's why when he's talking about the not going to the republican party, it's not just trying to tear down government on the, on the shut down here, which by the way, shutdowns and impeachment. a lot of these republicans were not in congress in the 90s, but if they look back, they would

basically gaetz is going to lurk with nancy pelosi, hakim jeffries and the rest of the democrats in orderremove the republican speaker and let me tell you. if you remove a republican speaker, that puts the democrats in power, these investigations will be done and stalled. maria: liz peek, mike lee joining me. liz, let's first take on joe biden looking tough, he's trying to get tough, stop all the beingsmanship, i -- brinksmanship, i think he had the speech written before they averted the shutdown. >> i think he is sick and tired. what of, i'm not quite sure. there's a really good reason why republicans are making a point of trying to slow spending. our spendingic out of control. the government is going to within the next couple years be accounting for 44% of our entire economy. this is unsustainable. everyone knows it. while joe biden is up there lying to the american people about cutting the deficit, the deficit in the last fiscal year, the one just ended, was $2 trillion. twice what it was the year before. we can't afford that. as we look at interest payments taking an ever big part of

patrick mchenry, yet rogers and some republicans would rather work with democrats and vote for hakim jeffriesppening. >.>> i talked with rogers while we voting, before the vote, to make sure he was in line with not wanting to vote for jordan, although i did vote for jordan, i supported him, i disagree with chairman rogers on this. i respect him highly, he's a great man of integrity. if he did say that, i disagree with him. maria: well, i mean, look, if this is just about the biden investigation and you've got gopers telling jim jordan they don't want him to pursue this influence peddling investigation, is that the deal that he's supposed to make with democrats in order to get the speaker? >> i just want to clarify, maria. no one from that delegation has told me that to be the case. i have heard things in the media and others that said hey, if you're going to go with a consensus candidate, let's pick someone who is going to drop the biden impeachment hearings. that should not happen. that's what jim jordan is so good at and that's another reason some people don't want him leaving his the chair

other one is that if a handful of republicans voted president and every democrat the votes for hakim, jeffries which is what's happening. hakeem jeffries could be the speaker. has that kind of thing ever happened where a member of the other party that's not empowered become speaker. -- no >> no it's ever happened, we did have to. elections again before the civil war the speaker vote was decided by a pyrrolidine and of course again we're dealing with this time when there were several republican parties trying to get started emerging. you had democrats you had nothing's way two elections were decided by plurality was and then once they decided on a plurality candidate the whole house voted as a majority means so these are two unusual elections i don't see that happening in the situation because we it could be that they would get the most votes that they have been getting the most votes. >> guys thanks very much, we apologize, norm we got you back just in time to thank you. >>. >> i'm not really worried norm, you and i seem to talk on the regular. good to see you, both senior fellow at the americ

>> i would love to actually that's a great question perhaps he was trying to coordinate with hakim jeffries delay and prep this. but also people like congressman scott perry had a phone taken, you know, wrongfully just out of the blue off the table and then not returned for months. so we need to be able to treat this and exact same light as what everyone is being treated. i think that's only fair for us to go ahead and start investigating further into this to make sure there wasn't an actual intentional federal process interaction or attempt to try to stop the votes. >> congressman -- thank you for joining us thank you for your service. congressman, you're killing it up there and we appreciate you. thank you, sir. >> appreciate you guys. >> all right joe you have an interesting interview earlier with attorney on another topic of the bodega owner in new york city who was assaulted and then when he was attacked violently he fought back killed the assailant ultimately the store owner was charged with murder. and now, this store owner is fightings back. >> yeah so we'll take a listen here and k

me say first, congresswoman, your democrat, jim jordan is a republican, you're gonna vote for hakim jeffries, not jim jordan. but i've covered congress long enough that members will often say, that person, i have a good working relationship, we worked on legislation before, we don't see eye to eye. where are you on jim jordan as possible speaker? >> i am pleased to be with you and always glad to hear from claire mccaskill and her rational wisdom and experience. thanks for having me. that clip you just showed of mr. jordan stammering to come up with his memory, could he have spoken to the president during the rare insurrection at capitol the where we all ran for allies, most of us with gas masks? i remember who i called. it was my family, my children, my husband, and you would remember as you are fleeing for your life whether or not you spoke to your good friend the president who incited americans to come attack americans. so that tells you everything you need to know about mr. jordan. he is incredible, he has been sadly, i think, very glib in other places when he is viewing disinformation, l

i think could bring civility back and move the country forward, at least the house, would be hakim jeffries. i would ask republicans, five or six of them, do they really believe in a functioning house of representatives? if they do and they want to work in a bipartisan fashion to put people before politics, they should support hakeem jeffries for speaker. lisa: thank you. we have one more question from nuhw member julie walters. as workers in this country fight for the right to unionize, do you have any plans to introduce legislation that will support these workers' rights and enforce legal consequences on the illegal actions by employers to interfere and unduly intimidate their workers during this process? i will give that question to mr. schiff. schiff i'm proud to be an original cosponsor of the proactive. this to me is the most important prolabor legislation in generations. a big part of the problem we have in our country today is not that people are working -- that people are not working. the problem is that people are working and not making enough to get by. it is the product of decad

for more than a decade the pro-israel movement has been fortunate to count on hakeem jeffries' leadership. hakimd side by side for 10 years. he never waiverred in his support for israel. he stood strong always for the jewish community, traveled to israel with hakim, and i saw him express his commitment and the way he showed his care not just for the state of israel and its leaders, but for the civilians we met with, the soldiers we met with. every opportunity that hakim had in iraq -- he interacted, he interacted with his emotions and leadership for israel on his sleeve. he understands that israel even in the wake of a tragedy unseen since the days of the holocaust will only grow for resilient as israel is facing its most perilous day, hakim wrote, and i quote, we will do everything necessary to support israel's effort to defeat the hamas terrorists in their barbarity. as i call him up i would make this note. i did this job for seven terms in congress. you ab, to my friends, you accept an invitation, to come to talk to a group visiting washington, you come to give a speech. this is not an invita

and that is why i am proud to nominate hakeem jeffries as speaker of the house. [applause] [chanting hakim] >> the clerk will now call the roll. >> adams. >> jeffries. >> adder holt >> jordan. >> aguilar, jeffries, alfred, jordan. allen, jordan. >> john: the voting begins after solidarity by the democrats. they clapped and chanted hakim jeffrey's name standing in contrast to the republicans divided whether or not jim jordan should be the speaker. two failed attempts in the past days have not vaulted him into that coveted position. he will go at it for a third time. chad pergram has been all over this saga since it began. he joins us now with the latest. this is a fait accompli right out of the box, chad. >> we seem to think that jim jordan indicated this morning, we asked if he had picked up any more votes and he said i think so. not really definitive statement here. he has signaled he is willing to fight and continue to go vote after vote after vote if he can maybe into the weekend. i spoke with one senior republican a little bit ago saying it is starting to wear thin if he doesn't show p

leader jeffries? >> hakim jeffreys and i have a good relationship. to treat jeffries the way i wanted to be treated. that doesn't mean that they're going to vote for me. i understand where the democrats are. i'm not asking for any special deal or anything else, but i firmly believe, just like the past speaker, the past speaker was the only speaker who had changed this rule. and it hadn't been used outside of the boehner proposition. i don't think it's good for government. i don't think it helps solve the big problem, especially when it's used by individuals for personal reasons instead of for ability to keep moving forward. the democrats will have their caucus. their going to decide what they're going to do. and we will live with whatever happens. >> that's at 9:00, i think. and you've got to decide, you're going to have a closed-door meeting, your caucus as well. during the 15 votes to make you speaker, i think you went from -- what was -- at one point, did you have 20 that were against it and you which i happened away during the 15 votes and you got
