we have seen the remeul of a sitting speaker of the house for the first time in american history. and now we are in this situation of having a speakerless house. so anything is possible. given these shirks, given the unpredictability of our politics. however, when you talk to some of those more moderate republicans, those who are opposing jordan, they say they will never support a democratic speaker. they don't really want to have a bipartisan coalition. i think they are -- they still believe that they cap work this out within their own quote-unquote g.o.p. family before they extend a hand to the democrats on the other side of the aisle. host: scott wong, follow his reporters on x. @scottwongdc. suzette on the republican line. what do you think of all of this? caller: i think house members need to cool off. they need to settle down. and they're making this more of a crisis than it really. is there's the office of historian of the house, the 34th congress, representative nathaniel prentice banks of massachusetts was only elected after 133 rounds. and some two months later, it took v

it got yanked out of the house bill. and, over, i guess, the grumbling of some senators in the senate, it's got to get through the senate tonight. and that remains an open question out, moving forward. >> yeah, look, this is what congress does best. they punt. whenever they confront a complicated issue, it's punt to the next time, worry about it later. that's exactly what they are doing now. there's no real clear path about how this gets resolved, as long as the speaker maintains, not oppose -- he is not saying he is opposed to funding for ukraine. but he is not guaranteeing. he has not -- the white house proposed, which is 24 billion. and that is only a piece of what ukraine probably needs. what -- capitol hill -- 25 -- just a piece of what ukraine may need, until next year. they may need even more for the fight back the russians in this war that the world is watching in ukraine right now. and the question is, will that commitment be there from the united states, given the division that are growing in the republican part

speaker, i rise to nominate jim jordan for the speaker of the house. i've listened to the speeches this week and i can already tell you what my friends on the other side will say using their poll tested phrased. but let me correct the record. jim jordan is an effective legislator. to legislate is about more than the name on the bill. it's about reaching compromise and working long hours behind the scenes. to get the job done. the speaker pro tempore: the house will come to order. the gentleman may resume. mr. mccarthy: where you are chairman of the committee you are responsible for dozens of bills passing the house and being signed into law. so let me tell you a few facts that don't come out in the polls. as leader of the judiciary committee, jim has passed more bills through the house in just three years than the entire democrat leadership team that has their collective 28 years in congress. mr. aguilar has a whopping one whole bill signed into law. a post office in san bernardino. i guess that's good enough to be caucus chair. jim jordan, on the other

my guest is speaker of the house of commons, sir lindsay hoyle. on his watch, is parliament properly serving the people? sir lindsay hoyle, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. you are about to celebrate _ four years in thejob of speaker of the house of commons. and it has to be said that during your tenure, the public trust in politicians appears to have plumbed new depths. why is that? i think we inherited a situation where the country was divided, but notjust a division of the country north—south — far from it. what we saw was division within families, which you don't normally see, and brexit was so toxic for all, whichever side of the fence. you could have a household completely divided, and i think it divided trust in politicians and the belief in politicians. and you look back to that time and you think both sides were making claims that could never, ever be delivered. it was a very difficult time. and i genuinely believe that, you know, the british public�*s always been questionable of politicians. i accept that. but i think a lot of that trust w

in the context of a speaker election. that was done under a house republican majority. with bipartisan votes on the democratic side of the aisle as well. and so it's clear. only act together in a bipartisan way to elevate a speaker pro tempore. that doesn't have to be patrick mchenry. there are many good men and women on the republican side of the aisle. they are patriotic and care about america and care about our democracy, they care about the communities that they represent who would be reasonable individuals to consider. but there's going to have to be movement on the republican side of the aisle to make a decision to break with the extremists who are tearing the republican conference apart. it's a mess on the other side of the aisle. and the problem is the american people are paying the price. reporter: the house is pretty dysfunctional -- >> the house republican conference is dysfunctional. the house democratic caucus is unified. reporter: when a new speaker is elected, how does that bode on appropriation bills? >> our message is that we need t

building, the people's house and i believe the people should vote for who we want for speaker the housewas the decision. we the people. all they had to do nominate who they wanted and let the people vote as we should be voting for our supreme justices as well. thank you. see you later. host: jeff, indiana. hi. caller: hello. thank you for taking my call. i think what we have in congress is symptoms of a larger problem. we have a national problem where all of us voters want to be vertically oriented to a party -- politically oriented to a party and we need to get away from that. in many callers on the show today they offered of the fact that there ought to be cross party voting and cross party participation and cooperation. both of the guess you had on this morning were eloquent but they were very strong one party people. i do not think the democrats are the problem at all finding someone in republican party can fit their needs and only would need to get a handful of those to get the speaker pass but not one of those people can break party rules. yesterday, in indianapolis star, congress

caller: no, the former speaker of the house. host: kevin mccarthy? what are the eyes of kevin mccarthy coming back -- of the odds of kevin mccarthy coming back? guest: is very low. there are some -- it is very low. there are some members who voted for him to come back. democrats are having second thoughts about removing him. host: aidan quigley, a reporter with cq roll call. follow his reporting on roll call.com. >> at mediacom we believe that whether you live here or right here or way out in the middle of anywhere you should have access to fast, reliable internet. that's why we're leading the way to bring you internet. mediacom supports c-span as a public service along with the other television providers, giving you a front row seat to democracy.

aside from the fact it is unprecedented, the first time in history the house has ousted a speaker, the house is dealing with a lot of curveballs and trying to figure out who to replace kevin mccarthy with as speaker. house republicans are not only operating on a condensed timeline, they are trying to elect a new speaker this week. that is very condensed versus what we saw when former speaker boehner left and there was about a month before that next speaker's election. this election is happening on a condensed timeline. usually, there is months of jockeying behind the scenes before that election. then, you have the factor of former president trump weighing in on the race. he is very much still a leader and player in the republican party, holds a lot of sway. it is unclear whether he will sway people to support jim jordan for speaker over steve scalise, the majority leader. but, the fact that he weighs in -- usually, we do not see presidential candidates weighing in on house leadership elections. of course, you have this interesting scenario where fox news is going to host what they call

damaged, nothing remained in the house. the tin fell on my son and he is injured now, he is in pain because of his head, i have other place to go, so now my children and i are homeless, i hope there will be seasfy or something. i have no place to stay at and nobody is helping us, the entire arab world is just watching us. lost her entire house and settled with her children in a sheltering school. as for abu ramadan and his family, they have their own two-story house, ground floor and another upper floor. the house got hit by israeli occupation drones, which caused huge damage in the upper floor, making it unlivable. i was breaking. the fast with my wife, and after we were done eating, she took away the leftovers and went to wash the dishes. she came back here while i was watching tv, i was watching the news about what was going on in our country and what happened to people. i was standing near the window when the missile hit the house, with the explosion i fell on the floor and could not see my daughter or my husband. i did

the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is here by declared vacant so that we have it. a republican speaker that kevin mccarthy has been ousted from the speakership of the house of representatives in the us congress was took us through why this is such a historic moments that on capital help only 2 other times in the history of the house of representatives. since 1789 has this sort of motion been attempted? it happened more recently in the past 10 years with the former speaker, john bane or i had a call responded that some viewers might be familiar with a man from north carolina named mark meadows. drafted the motion, but did not actually introduce it. and then the last time before that was a little more than a 100 years ago, we are standing in the canon house office building. the speaker at the time was a man named joe cannon. even though he survived that challenge to his speakership, he was later politically weak enough where he did end up leaving the position. so this is incredibly where that as sitting speaker of the house of representative

about 15 minutes from now the house is set to come in to see if they can elect a speaker of the house. if you were watching yesterday you know that didn't happen, concerning particularly the speakership of jim jordan. he'll make another go of it again today. if you want to comment on the process as it plays out, do so on the phoneline. republicans 202-748-8921. democrat, 202-748-8920. others, 202-748-8922. text us as 202-748-8923. you can also commented on facebook or on x. if you remember, there were 212 votes for hakeem jeffries, and 200 for jimordan. 20 repns voted for others. we'll show you the pwho voted against and not voting for m jordan to become speaker of the house. which leads to the question, happens today? what might happen as the process plays out and you continue watching on c-span. joining us to help walk through that is emily brooks who covers congress for the hill. mrs. brooks, thanks for joining us. guest: thanks for having me. host: talk about what's expected today when votes come down and what it means for jim jordan. guest: today we'll see petty much what we saw

i think obviously you have the white house and thej have the white house and the senate aligned. ukraine. a majority of the house in the recent vote supported aid to ukraine. so, it is clear that this is an issue that's going to need to be addressed. and whoever the next speaker as he is going to have to work with the white house, with the senate, and with the house, to come to an agreement on next steps. there is no question that needs to be accountability and transparency, as many of my colleagues have called for, and the white house needs to put forth a plan to congress and identify what the goals and the objectives are and frankly what the endgame is, ultimately, because this is not something obviously that we can continue in perpetuity. but certainly, i have supported and will continue to support to ukraine. i think it is imperative that we hold vladimir putin accountable for his conduct and i think there are real consequences if ukraine falls, especially in the indo—pacific, so there is a lot at stake here, there is a lot that goes into this, and i think obviously it is goi

enter the house. s standard procedure according to john miller and josh carroll we, josh campbell, it's standard procedure at any cases where they try to approach a house and they are not sure whether the suspect might be in there or not. they use flash bags for the shock effect, the speed to get into the house. we after that they wear their processing staff, and then vehicles left and of course now they have just come back. that is what you're seeing. there is someone speaking on a loudspeaker, i can't make out what he is saying. my colleague said that he said, walk outside with your hand up. so,, erin, that's what i can tell you what we're witnessing right now. >> let's keep these pictures up, brian, while you're with us if you can, tim, walk outside with your hands up, flash bangs, they think he's in there right now? >> they think he's somewhere right there, doesn't mean he's in the house, they're moving to the left side as the reporter just stated might be that there is a wooded area or a shatters

as a result, a leadership crisis in the house. lots of questions about what's next. >> was it comments that mccarthy made on television over the weekend, on sunday in particular, about blaming democrats that particularly was sort of the final straw? >> reporter: that was one big reason why. they did play that interview that mccarthy had on "face the nation" on sunday. that set the tone for a meeting in which members railed on a whole bunch of grievances that they had. some members, including zoe lofgren told me she was angry he didn't testify before the committee in the last congress. what's clear is mccarthy did not have deep-seeded relationships with a lot of democratic members. he was in a positive relationship with hakeem jeffries, but not with the rank-and-file members. and mccarthy, of course, going after many of those vulnerable democrats, raising a ton of money, targeting them in their races. there's no love lost. perhaps one reason why they voted to oust him. >> lauren, you just spoke to one of the eight republicans who vo

talking about the week ahead for the white house, obviously the white house is preoccupied with the warn israel. what is the mood at the white house? >> that is right. they are trying to juggle this war while trying to focus on domestic priorities. obviously this war and conflict has been eating up a ton of the this has been eating up a ton of the to -- the president's prime -- time. he spoke with president netanyahu. the politics are shifting a bit. there are some folks in the president's party who are not pleased with how the president has responded. palestinian civilians. and the politics in the democratic party are shifting. and it's put ago bit of pressure on the president. just last week he also had a conversation with some arab american and muslim american leaders. thursday zoom call. and they expressed frustration with the president's rhetoric about the war. challenging position for the president. again, he's trying to navigate this while focusing on domestic priorities. today that means he's going to be hosting an event on his executive order on artificial intelligence. a.i. we

while this process is going on, the clock is - house. s going on, the clock is still i going on, the clock is still ticking on the stopgap measure to keep the government funded and open until mid november. can anything happen with that while there is no speaker? that's right, the state is not just that you have a republican party at odds with itself at least in the house, we have again a stopgap funding bill thatis again a stopgap funding bill that is going to run in the middle of november and really should start as soon as possible in order to make sure the us government does not shut down next month. and you also have the house floor currently paralysed because the house is not have a leader. we have, as you mentioned, and acting speaker, patrick mchenry, a congressman from north carolina but he's vested with the full powers of the speaker. he is living in a purely interim position so many of the functions of the house of representatives, such as committee's abilities to be pieces of legislation onto the house floor i currently shut dow

the sub-committee. we know there's issues of workforce to build housing, there's issues of the cost of building housing and the component parts. but today we're gonna focus on the role that competition policy changes to help address these market failures. so some of the issues i'll put on the table that are relevant to our committee. first, renters face real challenges to compare and contrast prices. more and more of the costs of renting are hidden from view through the proliferation of junk fees. as a result, renters struggle to take advantage of price competition because the true costs of housing are not transparent. second, housing is an area in which we have seen the widespread use of algorithmic pricing tools designed to raise prices even at the expense of higher vacancy rates. a growing number of companies like realpage and yardi offer services that collect competitively sensitive pricing information from competing property management committees , feed that data through sophisticated algorithms and recommend unit by unit prices. so landlords can charge a certain rent. landlords have figured out th

the situation in the house of representatives right now, unreal, unbelievable, and unacceptable. the american people need the house of representatives reopened, so we can go about getting things done for everyday americans and solving problems for hard working american taxpayers. in the very beginning of this congress, house democrats have made clear that we are ready, willing, and able to find bipartisan common ground on any issue in order to make a difference in the lives of everyday americans. and we've proven our willingness to do that throughout. this entire congress in terms of avoiding a catastrophic default on our debt, house democrats were there. in terms of preventing a reckless government shutdown, house democrats were there. in terms of providing $16 billion in disaster assistance for people all across the country whose lives were devastated by extreme weather events, house democrats were also there. paging my traditional republican colleagues. it's time to get off the sidelines, break away from the extremists, get in the arena, so we can find a bipartisan path forward

the house of representatives elected a new speaker. congressman mike johnson, a republican, received 220 votes, surpassing the 215-vote threshold needed to be confirmed in office. mike johnson was the fourth republican candidate for speaker of the house, which has been without a speaker for three weeks. our correspondent ostap yarysh is following the events in the congress, he will tell us the latest news from the capitol right now. congratulations ostap. congratulations natalya. the rest of what we have know about the new speaker of the house of representatives. what is his position and track record regarding aid to ukraine? yes, natalya, the new speaker, 51-year-old mike johnson from louisiana, an ultra-conservative congressman, a republican, and he became the fourth nominee for this position in recent weeks, who was nominated by the republican party, and he actually got all the votes of all the republicans right now, it was not an easy way, but it looks like this, the party has united around this candidate, in fact, he does not hold

the republicans have control of the house. and don't tell me that republicans on other speaker elections get march in step and vote against the democratic party -- candidate. host: tom in mesa, arizona. democratic caller. hi. caller: good morning. thank you. god bless c-span for the coverage you give us. i was wandering -- wondering this house debacle-with the speaker has been going on a month. when you think about it, mccarthy t. took him about a week or so to get elected the first time. now we are doing this all over again. we are going on three weeks. i don't really think the republicans have anybody that is capable. you think about it, you got 270 elected officials in the house and senate from the republicans that are disciples of donald trump 90 times headed for felony charges. how can any republican voter really think that this is going to get solved? i don't have an answer. i wish i did. i guess for now put mchenry in there just to get something started. the world and the country is being held hostage by the republicans.

he is not the speaker of the house. he is not the speaker protem of the house. >> well, how does he have the power to tell the architect to not take it off, and how does he have the power? he is no more the power than i do. >> and he is mchenry has the power more than he does. >> if you go to house.gov, it also says that kevin mccarthy is the speaker of the house. >> you never know. >> and look, as gloria's point over the last couple of days, people have tex ted me and said that his name may go back in because he only lost by eight votes, and the reality is that as long as there is no one else as speaker, kevin mccarthy is to your point, david, really controlling patrick mchenry who he put in this job. i just, it is sort of hard to figure out that jordan had a press conference this morning, and he tried to literally fly above, you know, 30,000 feet by talking about the wright brothers, and clearly trying to raise the level of discussion here, and re-make himself into kind of a statesman. you know, we all need to unite, a
