The history has been made. The history that has been made is said, for the first time in our country's history,

the speaker has been ousted. It is Republican speaker Kevin McCartney, whose tenure as speaker started in the most unsamely mannered thinkable.

And the days after the insurrection, he traveled to Marlago and resuscitated one Donald J. Trump.

And it went through 15 rounds to ascend to the speakership. And one of the things he gave away in those 15 rounds of voting,

was the power to do what just happened, to have the speakership vacated by one member's objections that one member today was Matt Gates.

Ali Vittelli, take me through your reaction to this historic vote.

This is truly stunning. And I'm glad that you talk about it as the culmination of McCarthy's speakership because it really did feel even back in January,

that this is always where it was going to go. Whether or not the motion to vacate would have succeeded quite frankly,

when I was talking to Congressman Gates yesterday, prior to him filing this motion, he didn't even necessarily think that this was going to succeed.

And so, of course, the fact that it has is extremely notable. I do think that we would be in this position,

even if McCarthy hadn't made it a one person motion to vacate, because there were eight people who ultimately voted to vacate him here.

When we started the day before people got on the floor, we could count to at least five.

And so it felt like within his conference, although he has, and he has repeated this, 95% of his members support,

he doesn't have a handful of them. And in this case, that is enough.

Now, in terms of what happens, we're in uncharted territory, but we have a good sense.

We'll listen to how this plays out on the floor. But what we expect is that the House won't ever be without a speaker in this case.

And it won't look like it did in January when there was no speaker elected and thusly no rules.

Unfortunately, you won't see the return of C-SPAN cameras around the chamber.

But there is a functioning rule set already for this Congress just because McCarthy is not speaker.

That doesn't change. But there is a list that's given in secret.

We don't know who's on this list of names that McCarthy has previously provided to the people who run the floor.

Let's listen.
