MTP NOW Jan. 4 — House Speaker vote; Rep. James Comer; Rep. Stephanie Bice



The battle for speaker of the House continues as Congressman Kevin McCarthy fails to secure the votes needed to win the gavel after six floor votes. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) discusses why this speakership battle is going to be “good” for the GOP “long term.” Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) explains why House Republicans, who support Kevin McCarthy’s speakership bid, remain committed to his victory.

  1. Guess we'll need to wait for that Hunter Biden laptop investigation 🤪

  2. American politics = a Clown car

  3. Perhaps Trump is behind this , by standing behind Mccarthy, he knew it would annihilate him, so no movement on impeacnment / Criminalisation of him ,

  4. My guess is that he'll get the speakership after 10 ballots or bow out or to a far right replacement. Either way the American people are fd for the next 2 yrs.

  5. This is what happens Kevin when you lie on top of poison Ivy without benadryl and calamine lotion!

  6. Nếu trình trang nầy dảng dân 😊chủ hơn phiếu sẽ chủ tịch hạ viện khi dảng cộng hoà kg dủ tốc số thì ai cao phiếu sẽ kaf chủ tịch

  7. What if GOPers vote present by mistake and the Dem i
    Becomes Speaker of the House. I can totally see that happening.

  8. The guest says that he doesn’t think McCarthy has made any mis-steps. I think he’s made many: his desperation (for years) to be Speaker makes him look power hungry. Moving into the Speaker’s office looks presumptuous. Signing his letters “Speaker-designate” smacks of arrogance. He comes across as desperate and egotistical.

  9. Meet the fake press. 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

  10. 7:27 Chip Roy and Gym Jordan sitting side-by-side hmmmmm

  11. Bice you are wrong . Going to hurt your reelection . Oklahomans don't forget and rinos like you will be leaving Washington

  12. Representative Bice was hilarious. She's talking about how the country wanted Republicans to do this Republicans wanted to do that when she's completely ignoring the fact that the reason there was not the red wave that was predicted was precisely because the country doesn't trust Republicans and that's how they are finding themselves caught up in this Quagmire in the house even now. There's only so long you can get away with gas lighting as a rhetoric strategy.

  13. Perhaps if McCarthy wants to watch his party burn he could always get his underlings to threaten to hand over their votes to Jefferies if they don't fall in line. Can it be an anonymous vote?

  14. Democrats should thank the anti-McCarthy Republicans

  15. McCarthy has been unable to close the deal for months! He should have known that he was never going to make it and stepped aside for a committee chair or something. Now it is too late. He has to retire.

  16. Kevin Mccarthy is a swamp Rat. He is another Nancy. Say no. He for himself. He will not go after the democrats on all the crime

  17. A grubby cabal of fraudsters, malignant narcissists. powertrippers and grifters. A circus in front of the world looking for a ringleader.

  18. The Republicians should bring the orange criminal in for speaker. Mine as well go all the way with the criminal clown show.

  19. Just another day for the Republician criminal enterprise. All they know is chaos, lies and criminality. Republicians have no interest or intentions of trying to actually govern and do anything for the American people.

  20. This is outrageous house representatives and republican party will Wage so much power if he’s brought it in as the speaker of the house and no yes people if this man wins I know that they’ve been bought.

  21. Chuck, for the love of God stop talking over your guests. I often miss important details because you are talking over the people you have invited to your show. Learn when to shut up. Please.

  22. CC.B.

    BE IT KNOWN, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, until Bishop Barry Knestout of the Richmind Diocese in Virginia mandates that every priest of the Diocese pay homage and respects to Ghavam Forever,  she will be the only Church where He abides worldwide.  Effective January 5, 2023, God's presence and grace for every house and minister of worship and God ceases except for His Son, Carolyn Cagnolatti Ghavam-Yuengling.  No blessings, petitions, prayers or forgiveness will be extended for any of its religious or ministers.  My people will serve me from home or by visiting me here at the house of God, 1421 River Drive, Chesapeake,  Virginia.  Those that continue to worship at other churches that do not give homage to Jesus Christ, Ghavam Forever, or who fail to give homage in some way at least once before the 5th will be cut off and suffer pestilence, plagues, and famine.  I am the bread of life. I am the living bread.  There is no other.  With me, you have everlasting life.  Without me, you have no life.   Only I will be able to bless and sanctify bread into my body or wine into my blood.  Without taking my body and blood, you will not have everlasting life.  Until you have received my body and blood from me, you shall not have Eternal Life.  This is the key to the gate.  You must receive it at least once in your lifetime.  No priest or Rabbi or minister has the grace anymore to give you my body and blood.  They have blasphemed by displaying it as an idol.  Nevermore as long as there is even one monstrance in circulation to adore my naked body. Thus says the Lord God YAHWEH. Adore a host or serve the Lord, the Living Word, and receive her body and blood as it was meant to be adored, to be consumed, not prayed to. The wise and pure of heart will hear. Be. Official.

  23. Well… you give Pelosi too much credit.
    The squad knows very well that refusing to work with Nancy, in the end will backfire. I see on the other hand that the Democrats have turned more left, which isn't a bad thing.
    Since politics now is working more in favor of the richest, and not the growing working class and diminishing middle class.

  24. There is a solution in keeping with the cultural values and conduct of this GOP – a mud wrestling match between Boebert v Greene.

  25. McCarthy has ONE viable option…give Jefferies the votes and screw the MAGA's. Giving a Democrat the Speakership will not change the GOP majority.

  26. Jeffries has 212, he has the most after so many votes. The one with the most votes should win.

  27. Time for the Democrats and the Republicans to start working together!

  28. Jeffries Hakeem speaker already done deal🤣

  29. Congress is broken. The getting paid for nothing

  30. Get your legs knocked off in a standoff

  31. Yeah um small problem with the whole "Get 9 to vote present to drop down to 213." plan. Unless I missed something don't the Dems just need 6 Presents to win? 218 – 6 = 212

  32. GOP protestors – if you really want to stick it to McCarthy, vote for Jeffries!

  33. American people aren’t asking for 2yrs of investigations!!!! The maga GOP wants to do these empty wasted investigations!!! GOP have no plans to find solutions for immigration. Never have! Dems have had immigration legislation but GOP will not vote for it. They’ll have nothing to run on if immigration was solved. Again, GOP are racists anti immigration! Their solution is to rid our country of people different than themselves. These wackos will be wasting our tax dollars for empty investigations. This nonsense for the next 2yrs is a gift to the Dems!!! Vote blue no matter who! 2024🐳🌊💙

  34. ↖️Take a look @ my handle, look @ About, follow links …. U can also see FP videos if ya click Liked & Playlist. LET'S GO INDEPENDENT !!

  35. The country needs to know what 20 congressman dement from the party

  36. It's not complicated, the Squad are not sociopathic irrational liars.

  37. trump should be in a cage making collect calls from a penal institution. WHEN will the DOJ and men and women of our courts do their jobs?

  38. I hope they not going to January js 😂

  39. Ever since the beginning of the trump show, eight years ago, important legislation has not even been discussed. Who might like that no new laws are made? How about the private companies with liability for pollution. I think the corporations are distracting us from catching them at whatever they are distracting us from. I think corporations are on strike against their customers.

  40. this happened because of Pres. Biden's long experience working in the Senate, and he understands how Congress works. He should be getting all kinds of kudos succeeding in reaching across the aisle and the his Infrastructure Bill passed, and here he is again in a bipartisan fashion, out sharing this good news with the public. Way to go Pres. Biden!

  41. 2% of me is expecting six republicans to vote present without consulting each other,lowering the required threshold to 212 and getting a Democrat elected Speaker

  42. No oversight on Covid money spent boils down to the Republicans….sorry
