Jeffries. Clyde. That's the sound of the moment that Representative Kevin McCarthy lost for the fifth time and he is trying and has failed to secure the Speaker of the House to replace Nancy Pelosi.

That was the actual moment when Andrew Clyde the representative from the ninth

congressional district of Georgia sealed the final nail in the coffin

at least for the fifth round the question is is how long will this go I misspoke yesterday's episode saying that this was the longest, I was way off, the longest round of voting for Speaker

of the House according to NPR is 133 rounds.

So while this is a very difficult time for Kevin McCarthy, he still has a long way to go.

How much can he endure?

He seems to be 100% committed to this victory or at least that's how he

sounded earlier today as reporters caught up with him in the corridors of Congress.

We'll get a continuous shock, we'll find an agreement where we all get together, we'll work through

this and we'll get it done.

What if your opposition grows? What if you lose more than 20 votes right now?

It doesn't matter, I still have the most votes.

So we could go through every name in the conference and be at the end of the day.

We'll be able to get there.

I don't think that he's actually going to get there folks. I mean the 20 or so Republicans that have

committed to opposing Kevin McCarthy they're going full scorched earth.

And listen, it's funny, I used, I referred to this as me and join the shot in Florida.
