1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: of you for being with us our two Sean Hannity's

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: show as we speak, a motion to vacate the chair.

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: The final vote is actually going on as we speak,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: and that is a vote to oust Speaker McCarthy. Just

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: to give you some context texture where we are and

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: all of this is. You know, this vote is now

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: going down vacate the chair, brought by Matt Gates of

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Florida Houses voting to vacate. A simple majority will be needed.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: The exact number of votes that it's going to take.

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: You if two people that we know are missing Nancy Pelosi,

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: is that I believe Diane Feinstein's funeral. You have a

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Republican congresswoman from Florida recently had her child, and she's

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: not in the chamber today and anyway, so we don't

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: know what the actual real number is, whether or not

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: people will vote present or not, you know, that's yet

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: to be determined as of right now. It's thirty two

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: to twenty nine. It's a call of the role meaning

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: alphab beetically using their surname. They go through the list

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: of all the congressmen and women and they come to

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: a final conclusion likely to happen if I had to

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: guess this hour, it depends how long it takes. Seems

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: to be moving along pretty quickly. Just a couple of

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: notes is just a couple of notes as we go

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: through this. So this just takes a simple majority. Members

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: vote from their seats. This is what we call a

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: verbal call of the role. They go through it alphabetically.

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: If the House adopts the motion there is no speaker,

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: that would mean that Speaker McCarthy has been removed, which

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: by the way, is unprecedented. The House will have removed

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: a speaker for the first time in history by rule.

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: The House must then elect a speaker. No other business

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: will take place before then. The House can do nothing

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: else on the floor, no bills, nothing, You'll have base

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: a paralyzed body on the floor until they elect a speaker.

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: The House could adjourned, but that is somewhat unclear now

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: part of uh and this is pretty interesting to me too,

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you know. Part of part of what happened since nine

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: to eleven is there is a list nobody knows the

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: name of the people on this list that Kevin McCarthy

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: has put together that would actually be a Speaker po

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: pro tem that would basically be running the floor of

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the House in the interim while they continue the process

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: of electing a new speaker. So, you know, all my

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: contacts on the floor are telling me and I just

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: got another text right now, too close to call, too

47
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: close to everyone's saying it's too close to call. So

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll no more, you know, probably very

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: quickly here as as to how this all comes down.

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: And but you know, again it's pretty unprecedent. If you

51
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: want the history of this is you know this this

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: could go on into a series of hour after hour,

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: if not day after day, of consecutive votes until the

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: speaker emerges. There is no one name that is as

55
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: of now been emerged as a potential replacement. It is,

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, pretty similar to what we saw in January

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: when it took five days fifteen votes to elect McCarty,

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the longest speaker elections since Night eighteen fifty nine. The

59
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: election of Speaker Howell Cobb of Georgia took two weeks.

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: That was in eighteen forty nine. The longest election for

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: speaker ran for two months, and that was eighteen fifty

62
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: five to eighteen. You know, fifty six and the House

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: by the elected Speaker Nathaniel Banks on the one hundred

64
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: and thirty third ballot. Now, you certainly got a hope

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: that that doesn't happen. Look, I just stand where I've been,

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: you know. And and Trump tweeted this out in the

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: middle of his own mess and trial. He tweeted out,

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: or true social diye vote you know why is it?

69
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Republicans are now in this position. Now, I will concede

70
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: to Matt Gates and to anybody that might be thinking

71
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: of voting to vacate the chair that the twelve appropriation

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: bills are absolutely the process worth fighting for. Okay, it

73
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Now with that said, as they began the

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: process of okay, we have to fund the government, the

75
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: government shuts down, there were really really solid conservatives in

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus that put together not one, but two

77
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: plans that quote the people that don't like McCarthy. A

78
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: lot of this is personal. That I can tell you

79
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: because I know the people involved in this. For a

80
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: lot of that it's personal. And at times, you know

81
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: what you got to put aside the personality and you

82
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: just got to do what's right. And when you have

83
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: such a slim majority, it's going to be tough for

84
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: anybody to govern that because you have all these varying

85
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: factions within the Republican Caucus. You've got the Study Group,

86
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: you got the Tuesday Group, you got the Freedom Caucus,

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: where you know, most of the people that I like

88
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: the most are, and the Sunday Group and the Saturday Group,

89
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: and a group of moderates. So that's what kind of

90
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: made what Scott Perry and Chip Roy and Byron Donald's

91
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: offer in terms of CRS that them would have allowed

92
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the time to finish the appropriations process so appealing to

93
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: me anyway. And that was an eight percent cut and

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: spending for a thirty day CR. But that was the

95
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: first opportunity, and yet the same Conservatives voted it down. No,

96
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: we needed the appropriations bills. Well, that would have given

97
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: you the time to finish it. Four of the twelve

98
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: are now finished, and in the interim you could have

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: gotten the other eight appropriations bills done. The second opportunity

100
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: was a thirty percent cut. Again, in this particular case,

101
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: it would have been pending or it would have increased

102
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: spending for the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and veterans benefits,

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: but then thirty percent cut across the board and that

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: would have been their cr and as a result of

105
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: some people, you know, again, I go back to me,

106
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: it seems beyond personal could have had a thirty day

107
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, window with cuts involved with border security, with

108
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: HR two even included in that compromise, which is the

109
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Republican build to secure the border. And to me, that

110
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: was a reasonable compromise, but they chose not to do

111
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: it anyway. Sean Davis is with us with the federalist Sir,

112
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: har are you great to have.

113
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: You back, Thank you for having me, sir.

114
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I agree with Trump. Why are Republicans always, you know,

115
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: Democrats they circle the wagons. Republicans create circular firing squads.

116
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Why are they fighting among themselves instead of fighting the

117
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: radical left Democrats that are destroying the country. Trump took

118
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: time out out of his trial to write that, but

119
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: go ahead.

120
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's interesting. It's interesting to look at Democrats.

121
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: They're generally in lockstep. They kind of do whatever leadership

122
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: tells him. But I think this leadership fight with McCarthy

123
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: is actually representative of a bigger skis him a bigger

124
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: fight in the Republican Party, especially among those in Washington,

125
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: over some big things, over the border, over Forever Wars,

126
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: Ukraine spending, and then over spending in general. And so

127
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: I think McCarthy was actually in a tough position because

128
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: I don't think this is really personally about him. It

129
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: may be for a handful of members, but I think

130
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: this is about much bigger, kind of fundamental issues that

131
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: our guys in Washington just don't seem to have any

132
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: agreement on. And that's the real source of the disagreement here.

133
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Well, while we told that, the real reason is is

134
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that they wanted the full appropriations process, which in reality

135
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: that to me is a very solid strong argument. I'm

136
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: tired of these massive omnibus bills, the one that they

137
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: had over Christmas while I was on vacation, because I

138
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: would have been screaming bloody murder, was a bad deal.

139
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: And it just continues this massive continuation of this continuation

140
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of government spending and growth. Obviously, securing the border has

141
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: to be a top priority. The only party that's going

142
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: to do anything about that is going to be the

143
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Republican Party. And so it's frustrating to me to sit

144
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: back and see that the possibilities right there at their

145
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: fingertips if they were just just if they would have

146
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: taken the I think the lifeline that Chip Roy, Scott

147
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Perry and Byron Donalds offered one of two, I think

148
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: that could have bridged the gap to get the appropriations

149
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: bills done, voted on, and gone back to proper order.

150
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: That would have been, to me an ideal, you know,

151
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: scenarios short of getting them done on time.

152
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: Right In the members I've talked to today and in

153
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: the past week, it seems like the big fault line

154
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: that emerged was really over the debt limit deal that

155
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: McCarthy went and struck with Biden. I think it was

156
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: back in July, and that seemed to sour a lot

157
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: of the people who were initially with him in that

158
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: speaker battle. They felt betrayed, They felt like the trust

159
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: was broken. And so while yes, you're absolutely right that

160
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: the issues on paper are the spending bills and appropriations,

161
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: I think a lot of members were worried in there, Okay,

162
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: we're going to get these deal. Maybe we'll pass this bill,

163
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: maybe we'll pass that.

164
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Well, then why didn't they put forward a motion to vacate? Then?

165
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: You know why in this instance, that this moment, would

166
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: they do it now?

167
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: Well, it happened now because Matt Gates issued it, not

168
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: because the others issued it. But I think things happen

169
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: once the motion is out there that might not have

170
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: happened were it not out there. And that's why you

171
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: saw people like Chip Roy and I think people like

172
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: Dan Bishops say, you know what, we're not ready for now,

173
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: we're not going to vote for this motion to vacate.

174
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: But once it's out there, that kind of changes the dynamic.

175
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: And it was Matt Gates who put that out there,

176
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: not the other Freedom Caucus members.

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: All right, so tell me then you know who's going

178
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: to be the replacement. The only name that I've heard,

179
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: and I don't think we'll ever make it, is Emers,

180
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: who's from Minnesota.

181
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: I've heard his name a lot from Quarters that I

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: honestly did not expect. I've been told that he was

183
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: actively trying to work with the Conservatives with the Freedom

184
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: Caucus to stitch deals together, even though ideologically he may

185
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: not be a good fit. I've heard Jeff Hearn from

186
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: Oklahoma as a bit of a dark horse candidate, as

187
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: well as Steve Scale. So it's those three names that

188
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: I've heard bandied about in the last couple of days.

189
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure those SCALEE is up to it. I mean,

190
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: he's been battling cancer last time I.

191
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: Checked, right exactly, so he's well liked, people trust him,

192
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: but obviously there's health issues there, which is why I

193
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: think Emmerson and Hearn from Oklahoma are the kind of

194
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: names I keep hearing today as people who might be

195
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: able to get a consensus behind them.

196
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: But Sean Davis, if they put your name forward, and

197
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: you remember of Congress, would you ever take that job

198
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: with a four vote majority and any one member at

199
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: any time can vacate the chair, because I wouldn't.

200
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: No, not a chance. I think it's the worst, most

201
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: difficult job in Washington, especially given that slim majority.

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that's the only part of me

203
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: that's sympathetic to McCarthy. You know, I'm a little pissed

204
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: off because I think you should have used July in

205
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: August to put forward the appropriations bills. And by the way,

206
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Chip Roy, Byron Donald's, yeah, all those guys and by

207
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: the way, me included, didn't like the deal that he struck.

208
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: The last financial of the last deal they struck on spending. However,

209
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: we got to live in the present here, and the

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: President is if they can stop this tide of reckless

211
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: spending and control the border and make Hr two first

212
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: of all, they pass it, then we got to go

213
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: to conference with Mitch McConnell's Senate and Chuck Shue Senate.

214
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: And in conference, that's where I would like them to

215
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: draw their lines, except draw their lines as with a

216
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: united front. At that point they have real power. Am

217
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I wrong?

218
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: No?

219
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: I think you're right, and I agree with you on McCarthy.

220
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: He's not a speaker who I have. I don't love him,

221
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: but I don't hate him. I don't have any animosity

222
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: towards him. I actually sympathize with him a great deal

223
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: having to do what he's done with such a thin majority.

224
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: And you're right that the Senate really is the biggest

225
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: obstacle here, and especially with Mitch McConnell in charge over there,

226
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: and he may not be in charge much longer given

227
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: some of the different dynamics evolving over there, especially over

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: the weekend you saw with border and Ukraine stuff there.

229
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's absolutely where you should draw the line

230
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: and get the best deal that you can. But again,

231
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: it just seems as though enough Conservatives potentially have lost

232
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: that little bit of trust that they needed in McCarthy.

233
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: And I think if he ends up losing today, you

234
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: can traise everything back to that debt limit deal.

235
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: I think you're right in your analysis here. What does

236
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: your gut tell you right now? We're at ninety nine

237
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: to remove ninety five not to so it's obviously going

238
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: to be very close. But that's also including Democratic members.

239
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I have not seen any votes for president or I

240
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: have not seen anybody not voting. Any Predictions how you

241
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: think this is going to play out?

242
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: Oh man, Predictions are a tough game here. There's webside.

243
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: I think you'll see probably four Democrats not vote, which

244
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: would move the majority threshold down to about two sixteen.

245
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: If you had asked me this morning, I would have

246
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: said I thought McCarthy survives as of this moment. Right now,

247
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: I think he probably loses by a voter too. But

248
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: please don't etch that in stone, because you know.

249
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: How No, I'm metching it in stone. You're locked in.

250
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: Sean Davis, CEO, co founder of the Federalist We always

251
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: love having you, my friend. Thank you, Thank you, sir,

252
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,

253
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: one eighty four. Yeah, Alist McCarthy won seventy five. Nay,

254
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: now I think so far, Linda check IV, I'm wrong here, Biggs, Buck, Burshett, Crane, Gates,

255
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Good and Mace. I did expect that one vote yes. Now,

256
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: the only issue is going to be the math, and

257
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: that's whether or not all Democrats vote or anybody else

258
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: votes present, which would change the mathematical equation. But that

259
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: would be enough to remove Speaker McCarthy, which would be

260
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: historic and it's unprecedented. The House will have removed the

261
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House for the first time in history.

262
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: But that vote now continues as we as we continue

263
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: our coverage, I want to remind you about Berner by RNA.

264
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: What is that non lethal self defense for you and

265
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: your family? God forbid? What if? What if somebody breaks

266
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: into your home? Maybe you don't have a firearm in

267
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: your house. What are you going to do? And maybe

268
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: you're against it for whatever reason. I use it as

269
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: part of an overall strategy, personal defense strategy. The great

270
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: thing about burner launchers is and you got to check

271
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: out their videos. Go to their website BYRNA dot com

272
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and it is basically projectiles. Looks like a firearm, fires

273
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: like a firearm with no recoil at all, and if

274
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: you hit a perpetrator, even hit near the perpetrator, it

275
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: emits immediately, two pepper sprays and tear gas, although in

276
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: states like New York you can't have the tear gas component,

277
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: but otherwise it's legal. It doesn't require a background check.

278
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: It's legal in all fifty states. But anyway, it's a

279
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: non lethal option available to people that can get you

280
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: out of very difficult circumstances. It has formidable power. I'm

281
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: a big, big fan of it, and that's why alongside

282
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: my firearms, I have several burner launchers, and you know understand,

283
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: if you reach for the lethal option your firearm, it's

284
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: as far reaching consequences and most times just some stopping

285
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: power will keep you safe. Anyway, the burner launcher allows

286
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: people to diffuse situations and they can choose restraint before

287
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: if the situation allows for it, before having to escalate

288
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: to a legal lethal option. Linda, you love yours. I

289
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: know you've been practicing a lot.

290
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: I love it and I absolutely love the fact that

291
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: you can use a less lethal option, protect yourself, protect

292
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: your life without taking another's, and get the police involved

293
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: or first responders and give yourself that twenty to thirty

294
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: minutes that you need. And that's what Bernard gives you.

295
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty amazing. Anyway, check out these videos and check

296
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: out the Berner launcher yourself. It's a non lethal former

297
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: self defense manufactured right in Fort Wayne, Indiana, American Company.

298
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: Anyway BYRNA dot com. Slash Annity by r NA slash Annity.

299
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: It looks like Speaker McCarthy. I'm just looking at the

300
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: votes now two five to seven. Now, I don't think

301
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: it's getting closer to the point that it looks like

302
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: the chair will be vacated. And if in fact that happens,

303
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: that does setten in place. A lot of things in

304
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: motion here, and not the least of which is, you know,

305
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: we're going to find out who's on that list to

306
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: be the Speaker pro tem and nothing else can happen.

307
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: The House can do nothing else on the floor. If

308
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: in fact this happens, and it looks more and more

309
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: like it's about to happen, there will be no bills,

310
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: no nothing. In other words, this body will be paralyzed

311
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: on the floor until it elects a speaker. The House

312
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: could adjourn, but unclear. House could very well go into

313
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: a series of hour after hour of not day after day,

314
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: of consecutive votes until they do elect a speaker, similar

315
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: to what we saw in January. We did see a

316
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, a mess then five days, fifteen votes to

317
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: elect McCarthy. That was the longest speaker election since eighteen

318
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: fifty nine, you know his This this just is uncharted territory.

319
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: It looks like they're getting close to the magic number

320
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: two seventeen, which would have been the number at the

321
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: beginning of this, assuming that nobody voted present and I

322
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: don't see any presidents voted, but the majority is he's

323
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: down now well, one ninety seven May two hundred and twelve. Ya,

324
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: And let's see if there's number one ninety eight. That

325
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: number keeps moving up well as we'll follow it here.

326
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Because it's the voting is getting close to being closed

327
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: out here. Why don't we just play it. Let's go

328
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: to it.

329
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: Williams of New York, Nay Williams of Texas, Nay Wilson

330
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: of Florida.

331
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: Yay.

332
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: Wilson of South Carolina, nay, Whitman, nay Womac, Nope, nay, Yackam, nay,

333
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: zinky Day, nay McCarthy, nay.

334
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: Let's seconds.

335
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: Now, this is done alphabetically, and it's a call the roll.

336
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: It looks like it has stopped. Whether or not they

337
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: go back to people it might have passed. I don't

338
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: know that has happened in past roll calls, you know.

339
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: And no, you're right, and they're done going down the roster.

340
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: So the next thing they're going to do is anybody

341
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: who missed their vote during the roll call cast, they

342
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: get to cast their vote.

343
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: They get to cast their vote. But two seventeen was

344
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: the number. There were two sixteen. He's one vote away

345
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: from from this happening. Yep. So, but you have two people,

346
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: two members that are not there. One is Speaker Pelosi

347
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: at Diane Feinstein's funeral, I believe, and then a Republican

348
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: congresswoman in Florida who is who just gave birth to

349
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: a child, rightly home with a newborn baby. Uh So,

350
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: But it looks like we're right on the edge here.

351
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: We don't know definitely if there's going to be any

352
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: more votes here. But nay, all right now, we're up

353
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: to two oh seven. Let's keep listening in.

354
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: We've got push Pushkin cam Ucks.

355
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: Next, Camick.

356
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Nay two sixteen to two o eight.

357
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: They have got Carter of Texas.

358
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 5: Next, Carter of Texas. Carter of Texas.

359
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: Either they're not present in the chamber. Do they in

360
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: the bathroom? I don't know where they How would I

361
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: know where they are? I don't know.

362
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: Tony Gonzalez.

363
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Nay two sixteen to two o nine. They're one vote

364
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: away from what would be.

365
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 5: Goodon of Texas, goodon of Texas.

366
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: They're just mi a A lot of people in that

367
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: bathroom right now hiding. I don't know what they're doing

368
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: could be more important than this. I don't get it.

369
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't get it either, not like they're not there,

370
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: because they are there. I've been able to you know, no,

371
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: somebody else in the bathroom. There must be a long

372
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: line in that bathroom.

373
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: For a second there, I thought, she said, Linda.

374
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, listen, it could be unisex bathroom.

375
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: They go one at a time. I don't know. As

376
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: of now, we see this is really sad Nay. All right,

377
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: we're up to two nine two. That'll make it two

378
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: ten to two sixteen. Two sixteen voting to Alice McCarthy

379
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: has no more margin of error. Pelosi's not there, so

380
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: she's not going to answer, so that boat won't take place.

381
00:22:51,520 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: Big Buck, Burschett, Crane, Gates, Good, Mace Rosendale. This could

382
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: be the final number two sixteen to Alice McCarthy for

383
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: the first time in history, sikes versus two ten, No.

384
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: Sikes.

385
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: They'll continue to call the role. Give them a couple

386
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: of more opportunities to figure it out. But it looks

387
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: like the motion to vacate to me will be.

388
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 7: Are there other members in this body who have not

389
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 7: been recorded or who wished to change their vote?

390
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Now, how are they supposed to answer that if they're

391
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 3: in the bathroom. Didn't we just cover this?

392
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: I think we did. I think this is where we're

393
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna land.

394
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: I just don't.

395
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: And I just go back to what Trump said. Why

396
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: are Republicans always fighting among themselves? Why aren't they fighting

397
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: the radical left Democrats? Doesn't make sense.

398
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: This is the problem that we've had forever though. You know,

399
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: regardless of who you like or you don't like, you know,

400
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: the Democrats, they can just sit back and watch us,

401
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: because we'll kill each other.

402
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, looks like this is going to be called

403
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Now let's see what the yeah anyway, eight hundred and

404
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: nine point one, Sean, if you want to be let

405
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: me just let me give you a little bit of

406
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: the background here. You know, I've already explained this anyway.

407
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: So they concluded their debate motion to vacate order and

408
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: order a new speaker election, and the House vote just

409
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: now wrapping up the vote two sixteen to Alice McCart arthy,

410
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: two ten not to. And then they vote. That's the

411
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: actual vote on the motion of vacate. Simple majorities needed.

412
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: They have achieved that. It looks like as of now

413
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: with we don't think any other members will be voting

414
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: at this late hour.

415
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 7: On this vote, the Ya's are two sixteen, the nay's

416
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 7: are two ten. The resolution is adopted without objection. The

417
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 7: motion to reconsider is laid on the table. The office

418
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 7: of Speaker of the House of the United States House

419
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 7: of Representatives is hereby declared vacant.

420
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: Oh how does that make everybody feel? Let me go

421
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: back to what I told everybody earlier today. In the

422
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: early part of the program. Under these rules, McCarthy was

423
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: required to turn over to the House Clerk a list

424
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: and by the way, this has never happened in history

425
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: before you what you just turned his history and McCarthy's

426
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: been required to turn over to the House clerk a

427
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: list of members that could temporarily serve as Speaker of

428
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: the House. Now that he's been ouster from power. That

429
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: list has been secret. That list has not leaked. Nobody

430
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: knows the names on this list. But anyway, he was

431
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: required to turn over to the House clerk this list

432
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: of members in secret, and the power would allow then

433
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: a lawmaker of McCarthy's choosing to temporarily then exercise the

434
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: powers of the speakership. The rules do require that the

435
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: Speaker pro tem must be a current member of the House.

436
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: For example, you don't have to be a member of

437
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: the House to be elected Speaker of the House. A

438
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know that the speakership is more

439
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: than just one of the most powerful posts in Congress.

440
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: This rule was adopted post nine to eleven as we

441
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: as a country, as we dealt with issues of continuity.

442
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, if God forbid, whoever in their attack like that. Again,

443
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: the House speakers also second in line to the President.

444
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: It's Patrick T. McHenry has been chosen. Let me hear

445
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: that if I can, can we go back? All right,

446
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: let's go back. Let me play. This is now the

447
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: Speaker's chair, and it looks like Patrick T. McHenry is

448
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: the person that was on there.

449
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: See by the clerk pursuing to Class eight B three

450
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 4: B of rule line is the Honorable Patrick T. McHenry

451
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: of North Carolina, Signed sincerely, Kevin F. McCumber, Acting Clerk.

452
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: All right, so the speakership is more than one of

453
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: the most powerful posts in Congress post nine to eleven.

454
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: They realized we needed better and more checks and balances

455
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: in terms of God forbid. Something happened to the president

456
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: and Vice president uh in case of any type of attack,

457
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: and the House Speaker second in line to the presidency

458
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: after the vice President, and a congressional rules expert points

459
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: out that this Burry speaker could theoretically remain in power.

460
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: The speaker now pro tem could stay in the chair.

461
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: That's a possibility as well. There's no forcing mechanism for

462
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: a new election, nor are there any overt restrictions on

463
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: the power of the pro tem. You know that would

464
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: they would yield and the support of the conference would

465
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: dictate the durability of all of this. Let me just

466
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: explain to you where we are right now. For the

467
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: first time in the history of this country. It's unprecedented.

468
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: The House has now removed a speaker, and now the

469
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: speaker to pro tem. What's his name again, Linda from

470
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Patrick T. McKenny, mckennry, Patrick T. McHenry. Remember

471
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: that name because you're going to hear it a lot

472
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: lately in the next few hours. Anyway, the House now

473
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: will probably begin the process because nothing else can be

474
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: done on the floor without a speaker. Everything else now

475
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: has stopped, no bills, know nothing, body paralyzed on the

476
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: floor until electa speaker. By the way, I guarantee you

477
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Democrats are doing backflips. They're loving this. The House could

478
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: very well go into a series of hour after hour,

479
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: if not day after day, of consecutive votes. By the way,

480
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: on the issue, even you know, we've got forty five days.

481
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: They did pass the continuing resolution, but you know, who

482
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: knows how long this could go on. If you want

483
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: to look at historical precedent, you know it was pretty

484
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: historic when it took five days fifteen votes to elect McCarthy.

485
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: That was the longest election since eighteen fifty nine. The

486
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: election of Speaker Howell Cobb of Georgia took two weeks

487
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: in eighteen forty nine. And if you're interested in a

488
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: little more history, the longest election for speaker ran for

489
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: two months, that's eighteen fifty five to fifty six. And

490
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: then the House finally elected Speaker Nathaniel Banks on the

491
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty third ballot. I quote Donald Trump,

492
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: why infighting? Why why not be focused on the people

493
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: that are causing the damage. The exact quote is, why

494
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 1: is it the Republicans are always fighting among themselves? Why

495
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: aren't they fighting the radical left Democrats destroying the country? Anyway,

496
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn is our number.

497
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. I

498
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: think I'll get a lot of your reaction. You know,

499
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: some of you agree, some of you disagree. I'm looking

500
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: at my phone lines here. We'll hit the phones throughout

501
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll get some analysis. New kingridg is

502
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: going to weigh in, and we'll probably hear from Congressman

503
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Ship Roy and Congressman Byron Donald's and you know, there

504
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: is no one name that has emerged that I've heard. Hey,

505
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: I love this company, Henry repeating arms. By the way,

506
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: one of the greatest gifts you can give somebody for

507
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: Christmas or anytime, their birthday, whatever. You just got to

508
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: check out their website. And I'm going to tell you

509
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: right now you're gonna love it. Tell you more about

510
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: it on the other side as we continue. Eight hundred

511
00:30:51,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: nine point one, Shawn is a number, John Hannity, Well,

512
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: we've just had history unfull before our eyes, unprecedented. The

513
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: Republicans have and the House have voted to vacate the

514
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House the first time in the history

515
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: of the country. We do have a Speaker pro tem,

516
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: Patrick T. McHenry from the great state of North Carolina.

517
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: As of now, the House can do nothing else on

518
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: the floor until they elect a new speaker. No names

519
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: have been brought forward, and no bills can be bought

520
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: brought forward, nothing until they get a speaker. Now, we'll

521
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: see what happens. Whether development's unfold in the next hour,

522
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, well a full complete analysis. We'll check

523
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: in with Freedom Clucus members Chip Roy and Byron McDonald's

524
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: and new kingridg coming up as well
