first the house gop needs to nominate someone that needs to get a majority of the house gop vote, andhen a vote in the full house next week, and that is going to be the real challenge. 218 votes, more than four republicans can scuttle a republican speaker candidate. as we saw with kevin mccarthy, the question now is will it happen again? >> yeah, we saw those 15 rourngsds right? with kevin mccarthy. as you say, lots of hurdles ahead. but right now we have reps steve scalise and jim jordan throwing their hats in the ring in the run for house speaker. thanks, manu. we'll be right back. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. >>> for the third straight day former president donald trump was in court, attending his civil fraud trial, and for the third straight day he ra

the effort to house the speaker was led by gop republican, gates, there is also a significant amount of distrust and anger from house democrats towards mccarthy over his actions speaker and the house gop agenda. the rebellious lawers accused mccarthy of a flip flop saying he had promised an end to hacely prepared stop gap legislation hammered out with the support of the opposition and a return to budgeting through the committee process. some republican leaders condemhi's removal with former vice president and current presidential. candidate mike pence suggesting it would undermine the gop in the eyes of voters. there is no clear successor to overs the house republican majority. congress has just over 40 days to agree a deal to avoid another potential government shutdown. but there is a certain nialistic quality to what they're doing. however, there is also genius in the madness, because the madness is about creating as much chaos as possible, and then um, you know, then the trump people will will will step in. the dramatic officer of us house speaker kevin mccarthy has raised question

kevin mccarthy has been austed as speaker of the us house of representatives in a brutal historic rebellion by far right republicans. the rebellious gop his cooperation with democrats, have accused him of a string of broken. promises: this is the first ouster of a speaker in the house's 234 year history. on this vote, the yes are 2:16, the nays are 2:10, the resolution is adopted, without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table, the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. i mean, a sign, i think, if history is any guide at all to this, it's a sign of a party in disintegration, i mean that's what's happening, and it's melting down, and that's pretty clear, um, that's the older history, the more recent history, i think is that what we're seeing today is the latest installment and the you know, ever, ever continuing kudeta by donald trump, i mean that's what we're seeing, the vote to house mccarthy, marks a major escalation intentions for a house gop conference. has been myed in infighting and it comes just days after mckarthy successfully engineered a last

the majority of the 222 members of the house gop. at doesn't mean that that person will get to be elected speaker of the house. in order to be elected speaker, you need 217 votes of the full house. that meansperson can only lose four republican votes on the house floor. as jordan witnessed, that was not possible for him. as steve scalise was nominated, he's gone forward because h was losing support of a cup all dozen. can one of the two cams get 117. some are hooking for a way to move forward. can someone get to the position or will we endure more days of chaos in the house gop? that remains a question at the moment they don't have an answer to. >> all right, manu, thank you so much. >>> in trump's fraud civil trial in new york, the president has been fined $5,000 after the judge issued a gag order. the judge warned trump twice. he could face imprisonment if he does not comply. >> reporter: the judge fined trump $5,000 and issued a stern warning that the former president could face harsher penalties or jail time. make no mistakes, fut

maga extremism is a poison that the house gop has refused to confront for years. and until the mainstream house republicans deal with this issue, the chaos will continue. now, i hope it's obvious maga extremism is not good for the house republican leadership. it's not good for congress and it's disastrous for the country. so let me say this to the next speaker of the house, whomever that may be, think carefully about what happened to your predecessors before trying to coddle the hard right. each of your predecessors got burnt. each time i urge the next speaker not to make the same mistake, not just for their own future, but for the country's . whomever the house elects as speaker will not be able to ignore the realities of divided government no matter what the hard right demands and to his credit. i will say this speaker mccarthy both on shutting down the government and on default to the debt. at the end of the day, realized he had to work in a bipartisan way to do what's right for america. well, the need for bipartisanship will not change. we'll need bipartisanshi

while we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the house gop didn't shut the government down last week, we need quickly to restore the military and humanitarian assistance that the house stripped out of the 47-day stopgap funding bill. at a minimum, we need to provide the full amount of ukraine assistance qtd by the administration -- requested by ukraine. it is not just a moral obligation, is it -- it is a national security interest. i can't begin to understand the fighting within the republican majority in the house and why gop leaders would allow a smallo veto assistance to ukraine. i do know that ukraine is in a vital point in their fight against russia and they need our help. ukraine will go into another difficult winter and russia -- in a letter to congressional leaders last friday, the comptroller for the department of defense wrote that the department of defense has exhausted nearly all available security assistance funding for ukraine. under secretary -- under secretary mccord added, without additional funding now, we'll have to delay or curtail assistance to meet ukraine's urg

article and i know you may not have written this, it reads "it's on, the bareknuckle battle for house gop leadership spot begins. anthony: it is shaping up chaotically. we do not have a good sense for how quickly this race is going to be settled. something i've heard from a lot of rank-and-file members i've spoken with today is that nobody has a clear path yet. that may change. obsolete the house is out right now. they're going to be signing each other out next tuesday with the idea of holding the election on wednesday. but i think even at this point with two candidates it is not clear whether or not there's a real clear path for somebody to get the support they need to be elected speaker. so a lot of fluid dynamics in this race, which is still unfolding. host: are we hearing where other candidates are jumping in for speaker? anthony: my colleague reported that kevin o'hearn is taking a close look at the race. there been other names bandied about as well, although we have not heard a ton of serious -- rumbling. one possibility is if neither steve scalise nor jim jordan is able to get thos

>> reporter: as we wait to see what happens in this important house gop conference meeting tonight, there is no one clear frontrunner for the job of house speaker. but there are four gentlemen who seem to rise to the top, rise above others in the considerations of this. congressman patrick mchenry from north carolina, steve scalise from louisiana, tom emmer from minnesota, and tom cole from oklahoma. let's tick through their credentials quickly if we can here. representative patrick mchenry, he has just been named as the interim speaker. but that's not the only reason that he's considered a top candidate for speaker. he is currently house financial services committee chairman, which is enormously important. it deals with issues like international finance, housing, and banking. his profile and influence grew earlier this year when mccarthy tapped him to negotiate with the white house to raise the debt ceiling. he's one of two top candidates who actually voted to certify joe biden's win in the 2020 presidential election. now, let's talk about steve scalise from louisiana. currently the numb

it leaves the house in chaos and there is a lot of frustration tonight among my sources in the house goply the republican party inside of the house of representatives. but they are at such a standstill, it's almost like multiple political parties within one political party. and because they are at a standstill, they really don't know exactly what to do at this moment. there is talk of trying to go back to the former speaker, kevin mccarthy, and getting him to reconsider running for speaker, but there is also another question about whether mccarthy could get to that 217 number as well. they're at such a desperate moment politically that there's talk tonight about giving patrick mchenry, who i mentioned from north carolina, who is serving as the so—called speaker pro tempore, kind of the momentary speaker, without much power, there is talk about giving him more power so the house can at least reconvene and legislate some kind of support for israel and deal with other issues, but until this is addressed, until a speaker is running the house, you are looking at a dysfunctional legislative bo

to remove kevin mccarthy as the speaker of the house. >> completely self-inflicted wound by the house gop, the majority party in the house of representatives. manu raju, thank you so much. to reiterate, the house republican party, the house republican conference is going to have a meeting of all of their members this evening, likely around 6:30 p.m. eastern, according to sources. it's not an officially scheduled meeting. sources also told cnn that any sort of election vote to vote for a new speaker is not expected for this evening as of right now. so let's talk about this right now, jonah goldberg, the first thing i want to know is play some sound from january 7th of this year when speaker mccarthy got through -- former speaker mccarthy got through 15 rounds of votes, and he was asked about this very difficult process. this is what he had to say. >> how do you expect to govern this way, if it has been taking this long to get the conference united? >> this is the great part. because it took this long, now we learned how to govern. now we'll be able to get the job done. >> so that didn't ag

what comes next for the house gop?reporter: simply chaotic moment for the house gop, which is in complete disarray. unable to get in order. three weeks to the day since the ouster of kevin mccarthy, tom emmer becoming the third republican nominee for speaker to see his candidacy collapse amid a revolt within the ranks. for emmer, it was members of the far right, upset with some of his votes on spending, to certify the 2020 elections, to codify same-sex marriage. all these issues came up behind closed doors. also the opposition of donald trump ultimately sunk his candidacy, ensuring he would not have a path to the nomination. right now, behind closed doors, republicans are still trying to pick up the pieces, trying to figure out yet again whether there's any other candidate who can get there. just moments ago, one candidate who had announced his intentions to run in this fourth leadership election, kevin hern of oklahoma, announced he would step aside. now there are five candidates vying for the republican nomination. t

to have the secret ballot election in the house gop conference. but the larger question is when they will actually get a vote on the house floor. that is uncertain because at the moment, jim jordan has indicated if he gets the votes to become nominated as speaker, he wants to ensure this won't go ballot after ballot after ballot that he can get 217 votes on the floor. simply to get nominated by the conference, you need a majority of the 221 members. jordan does not want to go to a situation like we saw with speaker mccarthy in january, 15 ballots, that messy process. which why is they're trying to sort this out behind closed doors. the question is, can either jordan or scalise get there? the expectation is that they can. we'll see if they ultimately can. >> manu, thanks so much. coverage continues with wolf blitzer and "the situation." >>> happening now, breaking news. gaza under fire as israel unleashes new air strikes and says hamas terror attacks have killed at least 1,000 people in israel. the war taking a rising toll on both sides with at lea

he is frankly done more on that score to lock down support among the house gop conference. so from this perspective, it says to me, it's going to be much harder for a steve scalise to get to 218 votes needed to be speaker because a lot of those people will listen to donald trump and back jim jordan. the second piece of this is those moderates kristen talked about. a very critical block but a key difference between the moderates and hard-liners. moderates think governing is important and their interests are not around a prolonged vacancy with the speakership and not as willing, because they care about governance, to blow up everything in order to get what they want. it's much more likely you see them work behind the scenes to figure how to work with this, than to openly revolt against it. >> yeah. kasie hits at key points. enough moderates or front-run republicans to shift a dynamic in the race. to keep jim jordan from the requisite number to keep anybody from the votes. the case over about a decade and a half in this republican conference, and always moderates step back. if

how raw nerves are in the republican conference plaguing the house gop after the historic vote to oust former speaker kevin mccarthy. >> i'm not surprised. tensions and tempers have been running pretty high for the last nine months. >> reporter: allies of mccarthy are seeking retribution from the eight republican rebels who voted against him. >> i think it was done for narcissistic for selfish reasons, fund-raising reasons. >> reporter: delivering a not so veiled threat to cease all fund-raising for republican representative nancy mace ahead of vote. in return, mace says she's fund-raising off her decision to sink mccarthy. >> i'm taking it from all sides right now, and because of the threats i've been receiving over the last couple of weeks it finally reach add point last night i was like, you know what? i'm going to let people know that i need help. >> reporter: now some are even threatening to try and have them removed from the republican conference. >> i don't see how they can really be part of a conference when they stand on the, they come on the inside, listen to what going on an

a lot of questions and deep uncertainty at this time of high tension in the house gop. >> as long as there's no speaker of the house of representatives can't appropriate funds for israel. that's a huge issue on the minds of these lawmakers right now. thank you very much. just ahead, we'll follow the breaking news as it continues and the israeli ambassador to the united states, michael hertzog, will join us live here in "the situation room." we'll be right back. >>> israel pummelling gaza as it retaliates for the deadly attacks. alex has a closer look at the territory for us. we've seen a barrage of air str strikes into gaza but what could the next phase of this war look like? >> there's a sense that what we could see next is a ground incursion by israeli forces. we heard from the prime minister saying the devastation we've seen in gaza so far is just the beginning. the israeli defense minister saying there's now a complete siege of gaza. let's take a look at the gaza strip and try to get a sense of what may happen. gaza is surrounded on all four sides. three sides by israel and a fou

of a funding deadline but the crisis could cost house speaker kevin mccarthy his leadership post for relying on democrats to pass the spending bill. gop hardliners want to hold a vote to strip mccarthy of his gavel. arlette saenz is over at the white house for us. what else did the president say this afternoon? >> reporter: well, jim, president biden said it is time for congress to get to work to avoid repeating this down to the wire talks that happened and ended yesterday as the house and senate both passed a bill to avert a government shutdown. but what the president has been pushing for them to do over the past few weeks and going forward is for house republicans to adhere to the agreement that the white house had reached with house speaker kevin mccarthy back in the spring during the debt ceiling fight. during that time, they had reached some agreements about what spending and budget levels should be in place and they had hoped that this was to avert a shutdown. but you had heard some house republicans, the hardliners in the house really push for further spending cuts. and that is where the house speaker ran into some issues betwe

one republican senator giving his gop house colleagues some advice. >> this ousting of speaker mccarthy and now we have a pro tem as speaker. >> i don't have a lot of advice for my house colleagues, other than this. follow your heart, but take your brain with you. i'd also advise all of my house colleagues to be sure and take their meds. >> take your meds. now, that's a republican senator giving that advice. kevin mccarthy now has two historic bookends to his speakership from 15 pathetic and desperate rounds of voting in january to his ignominious dismissal yesterday. mccarthy in his remarks last night blaming democrats for his fate, and then, in the same vein, acting speaker patrick mchenry lashing out almost breaking a gavel and kicking former speaker nancy pelosi and her top deputy, steny hoyer, out of their offices. but of course, no consequences for these eight republicans who drove mccarthy's ouster, who voted against him, and betrayed him, ultimately telling him, "you're fired." that's where we begin. joining me now is the reverend al sharpton, the host of "politics nation," and
