one for lee zeldin and one for congressman byron donalds of florida. it is interesting that we talk about steve scalise, chad as consensus candidate if mccarthy can't make it. he hasn't received any other votes at this point. you know, the name lee zeldin potentially somebody how republicans can rally. but i mean come up where we are in this process as you pointed out, chad, this will go on for a long time. >> john may think that is the issue here. when they talk about steve scalise here, he has not put his name out there. he has tried publicly to be a good soldier dealing with kevin mccarthy supporting him. there was a point in time not that long ago there was a little bit of a rivalry there. steve scalise got a lot of political energy after he came out to pretty good health after the baseball practice shooting in june 2017 here or there were some people who thought steve scalise might have missed his moment politically at that stage because he was extremely popular at that point. but right now, it is hard to see how kevin mccarthy ever brings this to

we'll get lee zeldin's take on that for the first time. also today, the white house confirming that five more pages of classified documents were now found at the president's delaware residence on the same day that a special counsel was named to investigate all of this as questions remain about who in president biden's circle may have had the -- may have sat on these initial documents when they were first discovered in november and withheld that information. so who at the white house made the decision? we know the documents have been found but we're not going to talk about it until after the election. watch this. >> who made that decision? ron klain make that decision in who made the discussion? >> not to disclose? did ron klain make the decision? did the president make the decision in who made the decision to not tell the american people six days before an american election? >> i think we have to get the answer to that. james comer asking that questions and others as his committee probes this classified document issue. he will join us in m

could they say hey, lee zeldin could be the guy that brings us together. who knows. it really is that way. >> i don't think we know yet, do we, whether or not they're going to take a break? we see them milling around at this point and sort of hanging in the balance between a second ballot and third ballot. there were reports yesterday that kevin mccarthy wanted to stay in the room. he didn't want to leave the room. he wanted to force the votes. at this point does he recalculate that, bret? >> i think so. you can't be photographed, you know, in the cameras having a head lock on somebody in the house chamber. his allies are working. i think it's interesting that he want so he hard in the preconference meeting and went after them. i wonder if the sugar -- >> i earned this. we earned this majority. we're not going to -- we're going to win it today with the few god -- we're going to win this today. you can understand his frustration. you can understand his frustration. he's got an -- >> one more thing. there may be young incoming members. they're representatives elect. th

[applause] the honorable lee zeldin of the state of new york has received one. [applause] the honorable byron donalds of the state of florida has received one. [applause] no persons have received a majority of the whole number of votes cast by surname purity speaker has not been elected. following the procedure used by the house in 1923 and recorded in cannon's precedent volume six, section 24, the clerk is prepared to direct the reading clerk to call a rule anew. for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek recognition? arise to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house. [applause] speak with the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you madam clerk. i think we have three objectives this conference, three fundamental things we have to get done in the 118th congress, first, pass the bills that fix the problems. in two years' time, we have meant -- we have a border that is no longer and a military that can't reach recruitment goals for my bad energy policy come about education policy record spending, record inflation, record debt and a government weaponi

i was looking at andy harris in particular because that vote for lee zeldin, zeldin probably one of the more moderate names that was put out there, made me think maybe that's somebody mccarthy could win over in the second ballot. i was looking at the republicans who voted for jordan. were any swayed by his appeal for mccarthy? none, none, none. 19 votes there for jim jordan. again, the territory this puts us in historically, this, as you are watching, the 15th time in history that a vote for house speaker has gone beyond the first ballot. it is the first time in literally 100 years. >> 13 before the civil war, steve. >> yeah, most of them were. 1923, the modern congress if you want to call it that. this is the only time in the quote unquote modern congress. and we are now heading into this territory. we've had a few that have gone into three. we're headed towards a third ballot here. something you haven't seen since 1847. robert winthrop of massachusetts won on the third ballot. yeah, to me, the most significant thing here looking through it was right, were there any ground made up here

joining me now, former new york respect congressman he should be our governor, i pretend he is, lee zeldin santos? you read the stuff, you had the job. that he is doing right now. when you read more and more, you like he is not jewish, didn't go to college he claimed to go to didn't have the employment history he said, and animal charity was great, and more than one. his grandma was not in holocaust. and but he did safe private ryan and lost a leg in nam and birthed. >> so, this is sad. if you met him during the campaign, as a crossed paths with him at events often, he came across as personable and charming, a lot of people were supporting him, volunteering for him. and they were just at this point, crushed. once the news came out of what was true and wasn't. a lot more has come out that was false than accurate. i think that for what i'm hearing there is more people upset and outraged who supported him than those who had voted against the him. it is le is genuine, he am have a difficult time -- he will have a difficult time, not just in dc, but back home, where there is just cratering supp

lee zeldin. new york. >> dana: a democratic run city on the verge of opening supervised injection sites for drug users. is that throwing gas on the fire in a community where crime has spiraled out of control? the migrant crisis frustrating farmers and threatening america's food supply. >> it is very frustrating when they say there is not a border problem and that it is closed. it is not closed. t you're rightk to reach your goals. my ameriprise advisor helps me feel confident about my financial future. he knows me and my goals. it's not the first uncertain environment he's helped me navigate. probably won't be the last. but with his advice, i know i'm on track. the plan we created can withstand uncertainty. no wonder clients rate us 4.9 out of 5 in overall satisfaction. because advice worth listening to is advice worth talking about. if your business kept on employees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee, even if it

they also like lee zeldin who the body is very familiar with. you will continue to hear these names, and i think it plays well for the 22 say we are not here to represent the status quo, this is what we told him we would do and here are some names we can get behind and byron donalds is a very capable member that a lot of people respect. i think he would be a wonderful speaker. >> harris: let's talk again about the former but my vice president mike pence. bret i know you have to leave us in a few moments so i will go back to if you are still with us. how does that play out? the politics of someone who, you know many of us have looked at on a potential list to run for president in 2024. what does this all mean for somebody like mike pence? >> bret: these are just names, harris that are being thrown out and mike pence is probably not in the running as far as wanting to be speaker of the house. all indications are he wants to run for president periods these are names that are being thrown out to be consolidating figures that could potentially get th

lee zeldin, good catching up with you again. former new york congressman and gubernatorial candidate came oh so close to doing something historic in new york. thank you again, congressman. back to chad pergram while you're watching the numbers. we'll keep them up there. a twelfth vote not gone kevin mccarthy's way but something else has or could be. chad, what are you learning? >> what's interesting is we don't definitively know that this won't be the, you know, the ballot here. the reason is because we don't know how many members are absent. we know there's at least three and might be more than that. that's something we have to be very careful with. the second thing is and this is the news of the hour here, is that there are other votes for mccarthy coming across the aisling. dan bishop of north carolina, josh of oklahoma, michael cloud of texas, andrew clive of georgia, byron donalds so there's been a number of them in the past couple of minutes here that have defected now from being a protest vote and voting for kevin mccarth

one for lee zeldin. one for byron donalds, a current florida congressman and one for jim banks. let's go to rodney davis, if we can, right now to get his reaction to this because congressman, tell me how this ends with your friend kevin mccarthy being speaker, because i'm having a difficult time seeing it. >> well, we all are. this is historic, first time it's happened in 100 years as has been mentioned numerous times. this is new territory for him. from my sources on the floor right now, kevin is going to go immediately to another round of votes, you saw him talking to jim jordan, jim has been adamantly supportive of kevin mccarthy. i think jim is going to be asked to go talk to those members who voted for him against his wishes and to talk them into maybe changing their vote for kevin. jim really wants to be the judiciary chair. he wants to get to work. but right now the only discussion for any other candidate for speaker of the house on the republican side besides kevin mccarthy is happening between the people who already voted against him, no one else is discussing another d

governor lee zeldin, here we come. and and i think that what that for aj yeah. yeah. thank you. get rid of that that one note pony whose sole thing was to donald trump. yeah, i think they'll both win. i think that i think that that will be victorious with both zelda and henry let me give you a little bit of background on this issue went to the jobs decision came down in the supreme court reversing roe the democrats had a party because they said, wow, we now have the issue we need we can use this issue to right the picture. nobody will pay any attention to inflation or immigration or crime. they'll all want to protect the right to choose. and in july and august, the republican party did not know how to handle that attack. and democrats ran lurid that saying alley abortions and, you know, coat hanger abortions and all that kind of stuff and. the republicans did not know how to handle it. then in september, they figured out how to handle it. i helped in that process and the way they handled it is i spoke to lee zeldin personally and i said, go up there and say, i cannot and will no

i mentioned lee zeldin, i mentioned fred upton, somebody else may came out of left field or right field, could cobble together coalition of votes. at some point democrats might get involved in this. so far they indicated they're eating popcorn. as i say in the broadway musical, avenue q, this is, if you know the song from avenue q. this is the problem the republicans have, playing out in public life on the house floor. neil: real quickly, i have doug collins, former georgia congressman, former rather thanking member of the house judiciary committee, very smart guy, i did want to ask you before i go to him, about saying present, not showing up to vote, that would be any risky for any republican to pull that, when you have hakeem jeffries at 212 votes, all he needs is six more, whatever the new math would be, couldn'ting people are stepping back, that is practically handing it to a democrat? >> that is the danger. scott perry, republican from pennsylvania said they won't let that happen. there was a point where matt gaetz if we wind up electing hakeem jeffries, so be it. there is a bit of

of ohio with six, jim banks of indiana, byron donalds of florida and former new york congressman lee zeldin each received one vote in the first round. 218 votes is required to become speaker with all 434 members voting. now, in the second ballot, hakeem jeffries, again, got all 212 democratic votes. kevin mccarthy, 203. but the 19 republican defectors would go on to unite to nominate jim jordan. in the third ballot, can heem jeffries, 212. kevin mccarthy went down by one vote to 202 after representative byron donalds changed his vote from the previous ballots to support jim jordan who ended up with 20 votes total. again, all short of the 218 needed. so long as all 434 members are voting for someone by name, the number to become speaker remains 218. now, that threshold would change if members are absent or vote present. without a declared winner in the speaker election, the house cannot proceed with the swearing in of members, committee work, or any legislative business. so kevin mccarthy spent last night meeting with allies behind closed doors to discuss a path forward. and he continues to

of course, we also saw votes for people like andy biggs, there was one for lee zeldin. this is a display from those 20 holdouts of alternatives they think could happen, but it is not quite serious. it is possible if there are more votes on the floor today they pick somebody else. lauren boebert set on fox news may she will nominate trump. it is more symbolic than serious. host: it is a long day ahead for you in your coverage. one quick question in terms of the meetings this morning. will there be a meeting of the republican conference this morning? what do you expect when the house gavels at noon? guest: i am sure they will be ongoing meetings. it is to be determined if there will be a republican congress meeting, but the discussions for what happens when the house gavels in at noon is fluid and they were fluid yesterday and they were fluid at 8:00 p.m. last night. leader mccarthy said he did not think there was any reason to keep holding votes when discussions were ongoing and it would not be productive. depending on where those members are in negotiations it is possib

the honorable lee zeldin of the state of new york has received one. the honorable byron donalds of the state of florida has received one. no persons haven't received a majority of the whole number of votes cast by surname. a speaker has not been elected. following the procedure used by the house in 1923, and recorded in cannon's precedence volume six, section 24, the clerk is prepared to direct the reading clerk to call a roll anew. for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek recognition? >> i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house. >> the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you, clerk. i think we have three objectives this congress. three fundamental things we have to get done in the 118th congress. first, pass the bills that fix the problems. in two years time, we have went, we have a border that is no longer a border. we have a military that can't meet recruitment goals, bad energy policy, record spending, inflation, record debt and a government that has been weaponized against we the people. against the very people we repres

so then you start going down the leadership dais and other names i have heard are lee zeldin but no onethe first or second or third ballot. there's also different people in leadership that could pop their heads up, but i think it's anyone's guess at this time. >> mike: meanwhile, president biden just back from his holiday break and there there are questions about how he deals with divided government and also about his plans for 2024. let's play it. mr. president will you have a decision on 2024? >> mike: clearly was not in the mood. vince, does he make an announcement before the state of the union or how does he play it? >> i think at this point just based on the available reporting he closer than he was before christmas and certainly before the midterms. there was a moment last year sitting down with jonathan capehart and he asks dr. jill biden on board with you running for president again and he staggers. doesn't answer the question sits there for 15 seconds. jonathan capehart is he still alive? what's going on? then he answers she is kind of on board with what we're doing. i think th

has always been a moderate with democrats voting to impeach president trump, maybe they trots in lee zeldinxecution. i'm talking about republicans. >> jessica: i was just going to -- >> dana: can i add one thing? we have known for several weeks that this group was going to vote against him a mccarthy, the never mccarthy folks, but they never put forward who their alternative was, and even you had somebody like, a lot of the trump folks, including the president, with these people who do not want to vote for mccarthy, and what are you doing? you're crazy, they won't listen to him either. so i actually really don't know how it ends. >> they are not actually one faction, it's not just the caucus of boats, so you have marjorie what was said now, matt gaetz and then you have traditional freedom caucus guys and that's what you have for the options, jo bigs, jim jordan is out there nominating kevin mccarthy and then people are still voting for jim jordan. they don't -- they want anarchy, they want to humiliate him, he has been completely humiliated and that will probably continue for days, and agai

> well, it was very interesting yesterday to watch it go from andy biggs and jim banks and even lee zeldinmix and then by the end of the day you had all of those flip to jim jordan can, and you had byron donalds from florida change his vote. he's the only person so far who has changed from mccarthy to jim jordan. jim jordan says he doesn't want the job, but some of this reminds me of paul ryan when he was coaxed into the job. he didn't really want it. of course, that all happened before they got to this point. they had already made that decision before they got to this point. so, yes, there will be other names that i think come into the mix. out stuart it's getting really nasty, season isn't it? this is really chaotic -- >> yeah, there's no getting around the fact that there's a lot of personality involved in all of this. stuart: what do you think of former president trump? if he weighed in this morning and said, hey, get out there and vote for mccarthy. >> it might be too little, too late. if he had been making phone calls days ago, he might have been able to talk some of these 19 people

kathy hochul had to blitz the last ten days to hold off lee zeldin on one issue, crime.uld not own up to it, they would not say their policies are the problem, unwillingness to change or react in the issue and they really lost the house because of it. i'm not saying that for me, that is from nancy pelosi. she said the same thing and by the way, a quick note on ron desantis, at the last minute he has thrown his political weight with harmeet dhillon as they decide who the next leader of the rmc is. >> ainsley: but he wants ronald mcdaniel. they are running against ronna mcdaniel who had that posed her fourth time if she wins and harmeet dhillon who we have in our show often and mike lindell from my pillow. so that vote is taking place today, right? so we will see who is going to be the head of the rnc. >> will: one more note on this, there was a poll out from potential new hampshire voters on joe biden or to include joe biden who is the favorite for democratic candidate for president 2024? biden came and i believe second or third. bhupete buttigieg came in second and he wo

any more moderate of a republican than lee zeldin could have beaten democrat kathy hochul.agine it is different. >> it is trumpism in the republican party, and that's where he is up and down the ballot in arizona, in georgia, in new york, it is voters, republican voters even rejecting that trumpism here. when you are talking about sinema she will have to go to the state of arizona and make the case, i helped pass the bipartisan chips act, i passed gun reform bill. why? because i was an independent voice that republicans trusted working with. suddenly what happens with ruben gallego saying you had the opportunity to do more, pass major reform and you did not throw the filibuster aside and now is a time arizonans have shown a willingness to vote for democrats. >>> gallego will be here only on msnbc. if you can believe it, the u.s. has entered year four of the coronavirus pandemic. what needs to be done to stop another surge and combat the effects of long covid? moments ago the fda proposing a new vaccine strategy. we will go over it next. future of lincoln. ♪ ♪ it's what sanc

lee zeldin, the gubernatorial republican. >> 12 points. >> won by 12 points. in the u.s.nate rate, joe pinion, a four-point win over chuck schumer. george santos was in line with the average republican in that seat. the fact is when you look at the 2020 presidential election, that might give you one look. but you look at the 2022 elections, i think republicans could in fact win a special election in that seat. >> it's amazing. what you see is that real shift from democrats to republicans that we saw nationally. but in that district -- >> especially, yeah. >> before i let you go, the outfront outlier of the night. >> okay. i can't help but look forward to the 2024 presidential race. if you look at how many candidates are getting regularly polled right now, it's about ten, right? and so the outliers, in fact, the 2024 race, because we're looking right there. there are ten candidates who are regularly polled. joe biden and nine republicans. but look at how many candidates have run in the past few cycles. look at this. you will see that 27 in 2020. 22 in 2016. 13 in 2012. 22

lee zeldin publicly weighed getting into the race and decided not to after losing the governor's racenew york. i think that's because mcdaniel still has a really strong hold on members of the rnc. i think what we heard desantis say, echoing his rationale for potentially running for president, new blood, getting out of d.c. he is sort of aligning himself with this insurgent wing of the party that's ready to challenge the establishment. you see a lot of the same energy that was behind the speakership race in the house. like the race for kevin mccarthy, there wasn't really a seriously credible challenger waiting in the wings. harmeet dhillon has a potentially real chance. mcdaniel is still the clear favorite going into tomorrow. >> very quickly, kevin, do you see any surprises here? from the other side of the aisle looking at this, or do you think they are going to stand pat? >> trace, i would be very surprised if ronna mcdaniel doesn't pull it out. she has announced over 100 supporters, 168. as william just said, you need 85 to clear it. i would be very surprised if the party turns agai

that county went 55% to the republican candidate in the gubernatorial election, to lee zeldin, and thatarea. did politics pop up at all when you were talking to these folks about the impacts of inflation and the economy? politics? brian: well, i'll tell you, stuart, i was out here at a diner during the election talking with a lot of people about that and, yes, it's coming up today because people felt like they really wanted to see a policy change going into this year. right now they feel like they haven't. you've got gridlock in d.c., maybe that'll be good. but what's going to happen to get this economy really movingsome people don't see an answer to that. stuart: got it. we're going to be watching "the big money show." it premieres on monday, 1 p.m. eastern time right here on fox business. thanks for joining us, guys. we will definitely be seeing you next week. >>> i'm going to stay the on inflation for a moment. some schools are struggling to provide meals for their students. what do you have can on this one? lauren: in september lunch was no longer free. the federal pandemic aid had

you saw the stabbing attempt of lee zeldin, who was running for governor of new york. you saw the armed men threatening justice kavanaugh and you saw in the lead up to january 6th, 2021, online conversations existing about taking that distrust and those frustrations with government, largely propagated by donald trump's conspiracy theories. more than 800 defendants who have been charged by the department of justice for attacking the capitol of the united states. i was having a conversation with michael beschloss about this. we may not see a civil war, he said, in america anytime in our near future, but what you will see are these outbreaks of violence and what you see over these last months is exactly that. this was an individual who had lost in a landslide but what you saw was go and take deliberate actions to individuals to shoot up the homes of four public officials. four individuals who won their elections, something this than did not do and instead of going back and running for office again, this man tried to take physical violence and tried to use that as a source

the attacks on representative lee zeldin and paul pelosi, as well as the threats directed towards otherembers of congress, are a sad reminder of the extent to which our social fabric has frayed. not surprisingly, then, the bulk of the department's current efforts are directed to threat assessment and mitigation. these efforts include an increase in the number of dignitary protection agents as well as a training of a reserve team to supplement protection advanced teams. enhanced security protections for members, their families, and their homes to that. to that end, the department has presented a list of security recommendations and options to the capitol police board and the relevant appropriations committees of both chambers. these recommendations span the gamut of enhanced security protections, and include the installation of state-of-the-art residential security systems for every member of congress, the creation of a protection operations center, and the expansion of memorandum of understanding with local law enforcement agencies nationwide. with the increase of u.s. cp staffing over

i remember during the trump administration, i interviewed lee zeldin in what i thought was the craziestwas so graceful and sophisticated those qualifications, she should be appointed to the senate. i thought that was the most bananas thing i had ever heard until i heard about the showdown between melania trump and ivanka -- ivanka who actually thought she should be the first lady. explain this to us. >> so kelly comes in in july of 2017. he thinks the white house needs order, he thinks trump needs to be better staffed. he starts getting confronted with these issues. and among them that he is all about is that there has been this fight that went on between ivanka and melania because ivanka wanted to become the first lady lady. >> but of course, there was a first lady, and her name was melania. but why would john kelly get involved with that? wouldn't donald trump the president say, hey ladies, let's settle down? >> it's an example to kelly of the frivolousness of some of the issues that were going on. you have to remember, it's in this period of time, that kelly is realizing that trump i

even lee zeldin from new york and former congressman and also new york governor nominee this past time senior political analyst juan williams. kimberley strassel a member of the editorial board at the "wall street journal" and trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina. and are you happy trey tonight to be a former congressman from south carolina? >> honestly, i was happy yesterday even before all of this. so, yeah, i'm ecstatic. i would rather be in a psych ward than be on the floor of the house today. >> bret: what do you think happens? >> look, i got bad news for kevin's opponents. he has got a lot more than 20 friends. so, there are more than 20 people that are going to say you know what? we are not ever voting for anyone else. bret, you got a guy who has got 200 votes and the next leading vote getter for very good reasons doesn't want to be the speaker of the house. and, yet, this kamikaze wing within the republican party knows better than 85% of the rest of the conference. jimmy doesn't want the job for very good reason. i don't know what happens. i will say this. they did

of the house this is where we've had scenarios floated that maybe a former member, fred upton or lee zeldiners just of a couple days ago could be tapped by republicans to be speaker of the house. that would never happen before. that would frankly be extraordinary. the right now one thing we do know on this vote, the seventh vote on the third day, kevin mccarthy once again does not have the votes. the question whether or not there is some improvement. now some history, in 1923 it took three days and nine votes because kevin mccarthy is short right now, he is probably going to have to go on an eighth vote. that is something in the till next. it remains to be seen whether or not they will do that after this vote or whether we could have an adjournment again. that is what we had last night after three votes. they came back and they voted to adjourn again. this is where it gets tricky, if you're some of the mccarthy people, you might not want to keep showing on the scoreboard that you don't have the votes. that is the problem. this is why democrats are voting against adjournment to stay in sessi

this is just a weird fluke of events, frankly, when you look at how the election turned out with lee zeldinning from long island and a lackluster turnout from democrats. but will it make a difference? no. we had donald trump, the core of the republican party is still behind donald trump. marjorie taylor greene is influencing the speaker's race. these are things that republican voters, the core, will not change. but hopefully more and more republicans will wake up and say, we cannot tolerate this. >> look, oz, masters, the lady in arizona. it seemed like a national problem. i want to close with you on this, congressman torres. we talked to the previous break, the previous block, speaker pelosi has written a dear colleague letter which you and others got. she said that in her belief, the house caucus, the democratic coxs is the greatest collection of intellect and integrity assembled for the american people. i doubt anyone could write that letter to be fair about the republican caucus. kevin mccarthy wants to succeed speaker pelosi. do you at this moment based on folks you're talking to think

. >> neil: that's lee zeldin, former republican congressman, having said that he was also on the smalltside congress that's considered for speaker. it could still end up that way but it's right now looking better and substantially better for kevin mccarthy. i should not hazen a has-been following the drama from the beginning. she assured me she did but may be this is the last night you have to deal with this soap opera. is there growing talk it has resolved tonight or no? >> i finally got a hold of rayburn rubin special and these sandwich was really good. what's interesting to me is that some of the folks that has been switching over to mccarthy are not willing to talk about the specifics of the deals that they cut with him and a deal that's ongoing and negotiations that continue but guess what? our jacqui heinrich has got herself on some of the excerpts on the potential deal and i'll try to break this down for you as simply as i can. the first is incredibly important and house republicans according to the deal will adopt a 2024 budget that balances the budget with ten years. the big t

joining me now is former new york congressman and gubernatorial candidate lee zeldin and california congressman kevin kiley. let's start with you, congressman zeldin. i mean, you showed with i think you a great campaign. you campaigned all over the state, including in new york city, where a lot of republicans won't go . doesn't the attack on prosperity, happiness and safety at some point reach the level that even liberal new yorkers say can't do it anymore? >> are we almost there? yeah, we sure are. i mean, our race for governor last year in new york state, where you have about three point three million more democrats than republicans, there was only three hundred thousand or so vote gap. >> about 22% of registered voters in new york are republican . yet we came just within a few points of winning this race. last year. i do believe and you saw it with the house races, the amount of seats that flipped the republican congressional delegation here in new york is now up to 11. and there's even more awareness with the reality that new york leads the entire nation in outmigration. one of the reasons

one for lee zeldin, who's not even in the house anymore, but the ten willing to vote for biggs, who has been sort of made himself a voice in the face of hard line opposition to mccarthy, does that indicate an intransigence on their part? it might be more well established with the other nine. if he continues to have ten defections, mccarthy just can't get the votes. he's going to have to get biggs' voters to his side. >> and as we wrap this up, steve kornacki, such valuable information. brendan buck, you know the history. this could go for days. >> it could and steve's right. those ten who voted for biggs, that's the core of his opposition. jim jordan got six. if he can work the floor, say i appreciate you voting for me, next time vote for mccarthy, shows movement in his direction, that could be a good sign. yamiche in five seconds, we might be here tomorrow doing the same thing, but it's a fascinating history. >> it's fascinating. a bit embarrassing for the republicans and it's historic to cover. >> and our thanks to all of you for rocking and rolling what we say was going to be a rolle
