at the white house? and i have to say, it's pretty personal. i feel very lucky. and i was a pretty spoiled little girl at christmas time. and the fact that my mom would put up nine christmas trees every year. and so in 2004, i was lucky enough to be a guest at the white house. and at a holiday party. and i was just absolutely blown away by how beautiful, obviously the white house is, but especially at christmas time. and so the next morning, i went to go buy a book on the subject and there wasn't one. and the white house is such a great way to study american history. the home is roughly as old as our nation. and so it really is a great metaphor for our country and the things that are going at the on it during the time. so when you think about christmas in america at the early beginning of our republic, it was very much a family event. it was celebrated with friends and family. not all the big decorations we see today in so roughly at the end of the 1800s, we start having the first christmas trees. and so

the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mr. gaetz: this government for far too long has been deeply corrupt. this town has been deeply corrupt. the way people get leadership positions and chairmanships and opportunities to be able to morally preen has been by accepting lobbyist and special interest money and redistributing that money as currency for favors. and that is not a criticism of either political party, it is a crit similar of what we have a-- criticism of what we have allowed to happen in this place. if we just go next man up on our side of the aisle, we will keep that corrupt system and abandon the people who are expecting us to fight for them. i have heard from my colleagues about all the important work we have to do and it is my sincere fear that if we were to allow mr. mccarthy to assume the speakership, that would not get done. that it would be business as usual and the very same things that have par lietzed progress for -- paralyzed progress for both parties would continue to shackle us to never-ending failure. w

fair housing. it is disappointing the commission has not done all they can to listen to the communities that are begging to be heard. rep has been showing up the last 2 years and hundreds of hours of meetings to build strong coalitions and cultivate policies that center low income community of color. we beg the commission to incorporate the policies and we hear that the developing lobby bullied you into including implementation actions that undermine everything communities of color low incommunities, cultural district disabled (inaudible) that is deeply disrespectful and demand removal. you can't claim to prioritize a racial social equity framework and not listen to years of generational trauma that redevelopment caused with the same if not worse policies. that is by definition hypocrisy. let itby knoun this is the housing element that exploits the basic necessity to live in safe aforfdable housing and give power to developers. you put profit over people and while the communitys fight for truly equ

the white house? well the theory of restoration and preservation, is that by restoring and preserving the past we can make certain that we don't make that were made in the past and we can learn and do better citizens for the future. that's the whole theory of history why we study history. it's to learn from the past make certainly don't make the same mistakes and do better at going forward. now the human brain has not yet evolved such that when you see a picture of the white house or a picture of any historic building, it's the same as actually visiting it you can look at the picture of the white house and get some sense of what it's all about, but it's not the same as a visiting it and therefore if you preserve it more people want to visit it what people want to see what this white house is about and therefore our citizens flock to see it all the time and they should and it's possible to make this white house better because we can provide the resources through the white house historical association t

a serious battle on the floor of the house to be speaker of the house.s personal criticisms of the man who ultimately won election, kevin mccarthy, including about whether or not he's trustworthy and the like. as a friend of his, as somebody who was speaker when he was house majority leader, what was going through your mind when you watched it all play out? >> i thought he was going to gut it out. i didn't think it would take 15 votes. i suppose between 4 and 14 i wasn't so sure, but i still thought -- there was no alternative. because there was really no alternative -- the dynamic was different when i was there because i was seen as the alternative. i wasn't looking for the job. i got drafted into it. there was no dynamic like that at play here and kevin had done so much more. first of all, remember, i came mid mid-term. boehner, the motion to vacate was placed on boehner. i came mid-term. kevin had worked his tail off to campaign and fund raise and build over the last two cycles. he did that. it's different than what happened in 2015. kevin was the lea

that is 90% of house republicans.es not feel like he needs to cave in to the 10% of house republicans who are not supporting him. so unfortunately for mccarthy the game is not winning 90% of the house republican conference. he needs 218 votes. he doesn't need 203 votes. so he's going to try to spend the next day or so working to see if it's possible to turn some of those no votes to yes votes for him or to present votes so if you vote present on the house floor, you are able to lower basically the number of total votes cast in the contest so then thereby lowering the total you need to become speaker. so a lot of horse trading going on, the house is going to come in at noon tomorrow to try to take another round at this. if they don't have any progress to show, i would imagine they try to adjourn once again. i don't think mccarthy can afford, quite frankly, another 20-person dissent on the house floor. >> you're saying mccarthy because he has the votes he does have, not insignificant, 90% of the caucus doesn't feel like

for the house to not only conduct business but for the house to address the problems that the american people across this country has faced. and let's just be very clear upfront. we saw a lot of debate about this last week. at the heart of all of the discussions last week was very clear, surely from our side, that washington is broken, and not just as -- is washington broken, but the way that this house has been running in the last few years has not been designed to address the problems of the people across this country. in fact, we've seen many of the problems that families are facing across america created by the things that have come out of this congress signed by president biden. why is inflation running away? because spending's out-of-control, because because bills -- because bills from dark at night, where members are not allowed to give input in committee, on the floor, to address problems they know their constituents will face if these bills pass. and they're passed because they're written in rooms behind closed doors by a small number of people not concerned about the conseque

the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mrs.cammack: i would like to address not you but the american people, because quite frankly they are -- well, we don't have a speaker yet. the american people, while they are our boss and we work for them. yesterday, as we were here on the house floor, our constituents from all around the country made their voices heard. today the calls, the text messages, emails, they all continue. people are letting their voice be heard and that is a very, very good thing. because that is what we are, after all, a constitutional republic that serves all americans, not just a select few. to all americans watching right now, i want to tell you we hear you, we hear you. and we will get this right, no matter how messy this process is. we will emerge better for having been through this, because nothing great ever comes easy. several months, negotiations have been going back and forth over a rules package to make your chamber a better place to deliver better results for you, the american people. and i wan

the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mr.ilar: that's why house democrats stand united behind hakeem jeffries. he is the only candidate in this race for speaker who will defend this democracy. only candidate in this race willing to call out the lie that the election was stolen and only candidate in this race that thinks everyone involved in january 6 ought to be held accountable regardless of the positions they hold in power. for justice and truth and in memory of the lives lost on january 6, i nominate hakeem jeffries as speaker of the house. the clerk of the house: the reading clerk will call the roll. the clerk: adams. jeffries. aderholt. mccarthy. aguilar. jeffries. alford. mccarthy. allen. mccarthy. allred. jeffries. amodei. mccarthy. armstrong. mccarthy. arrington. mccarthy. auchincloss. jeffries. babin. mccarthy. bacon. mccarthy. baird. mccarthy. balderson. mccarthy. balint. jeffries. banks. mccarthy. bar r. mccarthy. bar began. jeffries. bean of florida. mccarthy. beatty. jeffries. bentz. mccarthy. bera. jeffries. ber

in this house.the architecture of the house and what it meant to be this style of architecture at the time. they do a tour called upstairs downstairs, where we describe the life of edith wilson in one day and that the people who lived in the house around her, to support the lifestyle in this house. in the subtle nuances that you find in a historic house like this, they really describe what the upstairs, downstairs means. we have now an advisory council which we have grown in the last two and a half years since i have started at the wilson house. that has been very, very rewarding because my advisory council, our members are from all over the world, actually. and some of them are still big fans of wilson and that wilsonian era and others are very critical. and we need that balance to help steer our direction and our purpose. our mission as part of the national trust for historic preservation is to preserve the house. the collections, the landscapes and its full dynamic history. and use it to provide

reaction from the white house. what do they say? >> reporter: we're just getting the first statement from the white house counsel's office, special counsel for president biden who's been the one delivering statements -- the course of the last four days. the president has made it clear repeatedly that he takes this issue very seriously, but it also says we have cooperated closely with the justice department throughout its review and we will continue that cooperation with the special counsel. we are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced and the president and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake. key elements there are saying they will continue their coope cooperation, which was expected. they have cooperated with the justice department and the u.s. attorney who's been reviewing this issue for several months pretty much across the board, whether it was in terms of flagging when they found documents, including interviews we are told with certai

for speaker of the people as you house -- of the people's house. i sat in my chair anticipating to vote for byron donalds who whom i respect, whom i see as a leader, and there was a gut check that said we need someone that is going to convince my colleagues on this side of the aisle that it's time to get tha going, it's time to build momentum. many of you have said it. you see that kevin mccarthy does not have the votes. you are understanding that he is not going to get there. we have the votes for him. i cannot produce those anymore. the colleagues that i brought with me to offer those 218 votes on the first ballot aren't there anymore. it is not happening. and as has been said, we need to get to a point where we start evaluating what life after kevin mccarthy looks like. america doesn't want more talk. and i am going to keep my speech a little short. they want action. i'll take that. i want to get to work, too. america's tired of rhetoric and they want results. this isn't chaos. this is a constitutional republic at work. i am a mom of four boys.
