to this day david hastert remains the longest serving speaker in the conference. and he might have retired but after several years hastert was convicted of crimes related to child sex abuse. then there was john boehner who as speaker in 2015 faced the threat of a motion to vacate from congressman mark meadows. that motion never came to a vote, but the effort alone led boehner to resign in the middle of his term. served for four years as speaker. and then there was paul ryan. his time as speaker coincided with donald trump's election and a new era of politic and the republican party, for that matter. ryan reportedly told friends that serving as speaker during the trump administration was, quote, agonizing. trump went after ryan with public insults in addition to trump's near daily controversies that ryan had to govern through. about 30 months into the job paul ryan opted to vacate the speaker's chair and also to retire from public office entirely. but now as of today kevin mccarthy the party's fourth speaker of the century served for 269 days before being ousted by

hastert. >> and let paul ryan keep offices. did not take the rooms away and did that in the past. >> boehner and ryan were gone immediately after they left the speakership. they didn't need any space. i will confess an unpopular opinion. i don't have any problem with mchenry taking away office space from nancy pelosi. they basically worked with matt gaetz to construct a coup of the republican leadership. >> they changed the locks while she was in san francisco and couldn't -- >> i don't think that when you participate in a coup of the republican leadership that you should expect any professional courtesy at this point. i think collegiality goes out the door. i have no problem with that. >> you will be back to talk about reprisals. fred, thank you very much. >> thanks. >>> coming up, the tipping point. we will get the inside story why democrats turned their backs against kevin mccarthy. alyssa slotkin joining us next when "andrea mitchell reports" is back in 60 seconds on msnbc. whenever you're hungry, there's a deal on the subw

rule. >> known for dennis hastert, it holds that the speaker cannot build a bill to the floor if the majority of the majority party doesn't support it. president biden says he fully expects them to approve new aid for ukraine but he's not saying if he received any specific assurances. >>> congress took future money for ukraine from the stopgap spending bill that passed over the weekend. president biden says that u.s. support for kyiv is essential. >> we cannot under any circumstances allow america's support for ukraine to be inter interrupted. too many children, too many lives are at stake. i fully expect the speaker and majority of the republicans in congress to keep their commitment to secure the passionage of the support needed to help ukraine as it defends itself against russian aggression and brutality. >> european union foreign ministers are also showing their support for ukraine. nada bashir is here in london with details. >> first time that the foreign affairs council was held outside of eu member states. and of course hugely step so far as symbolism. and they say this is the

tha hastert. that was not on anyone eye radar screen. whether talking about working with democrats or increasing powers, i don't think that anybody would be better suited than patrick mchenry for this role, but you still have to get to 218 votes. and if that doesn't happen, we'll have chaos to where republicans aren't going to know what they want to do and dark horses will emerge and they won't just emerge for speaker. if this happens, we could very well be looking at a new majority leader, new majority whip. and it comes down to in the sound that you played earlier, there is no trust with house republicans within their own conference. and if that continues, we'll be in the stalemate i think for a while and that is where names on nobody's radar screen might be able to emerge. we've been there before. >> do you think there is any world where -- sorry, alice, go ahead. >> there has been so many spaghetti pieces thrown at the wall to see what sticks. there was even a suggestion to have scalise and jordan on a ticket together. but there are

paul ryan, john boehner, denys hastert. went down with the scandal and lost a disappointing midterm. dennis was accused of child molestation. child molestations! that's in their recent history. and yet, there are members of the ohio state wrestling alumni who believe eight people said that doctor richard stressed his behavior was an open secret. he was a child molester. it was an open secret in the athletic department, and jim jordan must have known. those are the former wrestlers. mike turner of ohio says he doesn't think that's a big deal. but they do think it's a big deal. hbo's gonna do a documentary on this. it's gonna come out. it's gonna be in a documentary produced by george clooney. what do you think it'll due to republicans vibe to have their speaker on hbo being exposed as somebody who stood there, stood aside, while young men were molested? allegedly. >> probably nothing. and you're exactly right to draw the thread from dennis hastert to this. why republicans would ever -- [inaudible] spoken out about what jim j

kevin mccarthy agreed to the hastert rule. you would never use the democrats to roll a majority of the majority. on the last ukraine supplemental, 101 republicans voted for it, 117 republicans voted against it. so this doesn't -- does this sound personal to you? i'm pointing to specific things that kevin agreed to that he hasn't complied with. he's trying to subjugate his real and significant breaches of our agreement as some sort of personal dispute. that's more about him than it says about what we're trying to do to change washington. if you lose this vote -- >> do you believe share your sentiment, house republicans or overall? >> tens of millions of americans share my sentiment. if you look at, you know, newt gingrich and mark levine trying to attack me on line, it is an avalanche of criticism from their own supporters and own followers and listeners where those folks are standing with me, not some of these folks with mccarthy. >> can you get more than five or six republicans to sign on to this. >> we'll see. we'll see wher

y wi george bush was president under denny hastert, the former speaker. republicans had a fiveenny vote majority in the house and they were able to get thingsrd done and pass them because they were disciplined. the modern republican party has got to get its discipline back. otherwise, the democrats will own. get the >> the republicans. and they did this week. demo, it's verynowline bac salvageable. i think that is a very keysalva but the speed at which they act now is going to matter. i always say h the sp democrats circle the wagons. yeah, republicans create firing squads. >> my wrong. yeah, i think you're exactly right. and of course, some of the issues that were complained about are importan t. like single subject legislation is very important. regulaare compr order, as you pd out, is very, very important. but i also think that there's so much focus has been on this, the rule the rule about vacating the chair. you know, the other thing ofat is still exists is the idea of the hastert rule, where you don't move things on the house floor unless a majority

and the hastert rule was nothing will come to the floor of the house unless he's got the majority ofsupporting it at that point, it can move forward. however, when brian became speaker, i don't think this was deliberate. i think it was nature of what had happened in in the members that were sent there. it pretty much got to a point where. nothing came to the floor unless we could pass it on our so unless we had 218 republican votes, we didn't want to basically get anybody mad. and so nothing nothing could have happened without that. so what that meant then was that everything was directed from the top and we had less power in that case. and so i'm struck by the congress unwillingness to jealously invite, guard their authority. article one of the constitution, they are very willing to that authority off to a president. and two recent examples would be the the us senate under president trump controlled by republicans and. they just all kind of rolled over when when president trump didn't want us bothered going through the process. advise and consent for cabinet positions. so trump just

dennis hastert spent time in prison after admitting saul abuse. and the hyper partisan newt gingrich resigned before his own caucus staged a rebellion. perhaps the issue isn't actually democrats, but the insatiable thirst for rebellion within the republican conference. joining me now, congressman ted lu, congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. >> speaker mccarthy and his allies have been saying that democrats share blame for his downfall. what is your reaction? >> let me say, i've known kevin mccarthy a long time. ever since we were both serving in the california state legislature. he was the son of a firefighters and he rose to occupy the highest legislative office in the land. i wish him well. the notion that somehow democrats would bail out the republicans in this civil war makes no sense. if you remember in january, we voted 15 rounds and every democrat voted for hakeem jeffries because we believe hakeem jeffries should be speaker and would be a better speaker, and our actions were consistent with having hakeem jeffries be speaker. >> f

according to the hastert rule that mccarthy agreed to, you cannot use democrats to roll the role of the majority on something as ukraine. all the krk dial tears that may happen later this week about a motion to vacate, working with the democrats is a yellow brick road whether the debt limit deal, the c.r. or secret deal on ukraine. third, this is swampy log rolling. people deserve single subject deals. you might disagree with my perspectives on the border or you rine, no matter how you feel each dise serve the dignity of their own consideration and should not be rolled together and might pass? this is what we are trying to get away from. no more lashing these issues together so the american people's interests are subjugated here on the floor of the house. you know how to stand up for the border, demand that the united states senate take up our single appropriation bill that funded the border. we voted for it. it has the policy demands that the continuing resolution that speaker mccarthy advocated on this floor did not. our funding bill requires e-verify and hours later after we passed t

dennis hastert did not think that he would become speaker after congressman livingston had to step aside. so that is a bit of history. but as we go forward here, there is a bit of time. clearly what happened last night that was a bit surprising was to have a time-out, if you will, and let the steam sort of escape from the capitol but during that time -- >> very good way to put it. >> -- people stepping into the vacuum here and the letter jim jordan sent to his member, he is getting right to it. so i think the questions are here ukraine absolutely will be one of the issues. but also procedurally. there are some moderates who want the rules to change and the motion to vacate to change. obviously some hard liners do not want that to change, but that is of course one person can throw out the speakership. so i think in addition to issue, there will be some procedural questions as well. but this is also a popularity contest in some respects. so how these members have treated their rank and file is very, very key. tom emmer, that is why i think he and patrick mchenry and steve scalise. first, s

so land insider information on land, the there was a story in the book about dennis hastert the formerker of the house who bought up a whole bunch of land before ath big highway was going through. he headed your markina budget or something so this goes back forever. so make was that corrupt compared to just being a member of congress who owns a condo right? >> ride this story t are talking about more recent past to do with the squad and this is in the latte liberal chapter. basically what happened is during covid there was pressure from progressive to put a moratorium on eviction. during covid you shouldn't come but they said you shouldn't be allowed to evict somebody from their home which i can understand that. what's interesting is these progressives said that we have to reimburse landowners. we have to pay landlords. if the renters can't pay we have to pay the landlord and again is a center-right columnist that makes perfect sense to me but it seems a little out of step with what you think of as the left and it's interesting because it leads to members of the squad were landlords th

it would be a violation of the hastert rule which is a long held rule by republican majorities that the speaker cannot bring a bill to the floor if the majority of the majority doesn't support it. >> reporter: all as frustration builds among mccarthy's allies. >> i just pray for wisdom for matt and clarity on this, because i think that would be terrible for america . >> i think we've lost you, mike. man knew, stand by. manu raju reporting from capitol hill. i want to get some more on all of these important developments. joining us now, a key republican. we're joined by tony gonzalez, the co-chair of the congressional caucus. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. as you heard and you well know, republican matt gaetz said he will likely seek to remove speaker kevin mccarthy later this week. do you have confidence in mccarthy's leadership, congressman? and how will you vote on a motion to remove him? >> hey, wolf, thanks for having me. i am actually co-chair of the hispanic conference. you know, there is no doubt that tensions are high here there is a lot of animosity. . it's like

that was the case with dennis hastert. we had joe martin, same rayburn. joe martin is from massachusetts. he went back to being the minority leader. same rayburn was the speaker and the minority leader and came back for a longer period as speaker. i don't think that will happen with kevin mccarthy. i will say there's a lot of sympathy for him on his side of the aisle. >> neil: thanks, chad. so you know the two prominent names, steve scalise and jim jordan. there's others, one in particular that could join that race and make it interesting. we'll talk to him. he's next. everyone feel at home this season. that's why with hisense appliances, you can get a lot more, without spending a lot more. because the only thing better than scoring quality appliances is the quality time that follows. shop hisense appliances now, exclusively at lowe's. i was stuck. unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant... is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression

and then denis hastert sticks out. we know the scandal, sex abuse crimes and hush money that took him down. and yet, here is elise stefanik, the conference chair of the republican party, talking about jim jordan today. >> whether on the wrestling mat or in the committee room, jim jordan is strategic, scrappy, tough, and principled. >> sahil, we know that jim jordan's other scandal is the allegation that he turned a blind eye to sex abuse when he was an assistant coach in ohio. is the republican conference -- are they having any conversations about even the way they publicly present his candidacy? if that's the sale pitch and she got laughs by saying that. internally, is there anyone coordinating this effort other than sean hannity? >> joy, i was in the chamber at the time, and i heard the shouts and oohs from the democratic side of the aisle when she brought up jim jordan's wrestling past. this is an issue that jordan's critics on the democratic side have pointed out, but it's not registering on the republican side. it

and how denny hastert received the speakership was on a saturday morning when there was nobody left,ebody that the country did not know. so i think last opportunity for republicans, understand there's two audiences here, is to find somebody that the country doesn't know and has not yet fully vetted, and to find somebody that does not have enemies aboutin the second audience which is your own republican caucus. that might be a near member, it might be a member -- newer member, it might be a member that simply has not created that angry profile yet. the question becomes do they hold together their alliance. the reason i say this is the final chapter for republicans is i actually think they might find that unknown person now by next wednesday. if they don't, it's the final chapter because that's it. now we're in a coalition governing with democrats. >> so i meant to google all the people on this let. let me put it back up. the people considering running. and the breaking news out of the middle east happened, and didn't get to google any of them. who are these people, david jolly? >> rig

the longest serving republican speaker was dennis hastert, who was later revealed to have been a pedophile went to prison after leaving the speakership. kevin mccarthy's failure as speaker is in its way the most spectacular since his speakership ended so dramatically with the first ever vote to vacate the speakership. the two leading announced candidates for republican speaker now are congressman jim jordan and congressman steve scalise. we already know that no matter who the next republican speaker is, that speaker will not be able to govern within his own party and will fail, as every republican speaker has, in trying to govern the united states of america. joining us now, democratic congressman maxwell frost of florida. he is a member of the house oversight committee. congressman frost, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i was thinking that when i was in my twenties, as you are now, and when i started working in the united states senate in my 40s, i had never seen a republican speaker of the house. i had never seen the house of representatives controlled by republicans. and whe

so this goes back there was a story about in the book about dennis hastert, former speaker of the house, who bought up a whole bunch land before a big highway going through. he actually had an earmark and a budget or something and so this this goes back forever. right. and that is just that's what that's so corrupt. yeah. compared to just being a member of congress who owns buildings where apartments are rented condos. right. so this story that you're talking about more is more recent and it has do with the squad. and this is in the latin chapter and. so basically what happened is covid, there pressure from progressives to put a moratorium, evictions, you know, during covid shouldn't they said you shouldn't be allowed to evict somebody from their home which, you know i can understand that. but what's interesting is that these progressives then went out of the way to say, but we have to reimburse landlords, we have to pay landlords. if the renters can't pay, we have to pay the landlords that i'll get i as a kind of a center right you know carlos that makes perfect to me but it seems a li

speaker john boehner was the speaker and he basically governed republican caucus using the that's hastert rule. that point it can move forward. however, when ryan became speaker is the nature, the there. that were sent it pretty much got to the point nothing came to the floor unless we could pass it on the our own. unless wean didn't have 218 vot, so nothing could happen without that. soea what that meant then that everything was directed from the top and we even had less power in that case and so i -- i'm struck by the congress' unwillingness to jealously and vigorously guard their authority under article 1 of the constitution. they are very willing to pass that authority off to a president and two recent examples would be the -- the u.s. senate under president trump was controlled by republicans and they just all rolled over when president trump didn't want going through process consent for cabinet positions so trump just made a bunch of acting secretaries and the senate rolled over on their back and waited for trump pat them on the timmy and let him do whatever he wanted and today you'

in the 1990's, this is out eddie hastert slipped through when the former speaker was taken down in acandal. this is not the first time we have seen an obscure member rise to the forefront. tom: thank you for the brief, really timely. i will do a complete data check. equities, bonds, currencies and commodities, what is your peak attention this morning? lisa: i am looking at the incentive to sell in the tech space. earnings have been pretty good. the fact thatmeta beat earnings but said they don't know it's going to happen next year, who does? tom: what do you see in the market that has your attention? katie: coming into this week, the hope was you see these big tech companies come out and reset. some did but not enough. what you saw in alphabet yesterday was overwhelming. maybe amazon will be the savior here but there is a lot resting on that company now. tom: it will be interesting to see. bloomberg technology will brief you this afternoon. i want to look at the date and now. $1.50 en with weakness in the vicinity of 1986, the 10 year yield in japan come i really this word, is a moon
