| 0:07.0 | Hannity. All right, here we go as we start the show today. Thank you for being with us. Let |
| 0:10.0 | me give you my toe, our toe of mine, our toll free number. It's eight hundred nine four |
| 0:14.0 | one Sean. All right. So the battle over the motion to vacate a push forward by Matt |
| 0:21.0 | Gates. That now has had a number of preliminary votes and the house now debating in the |
| 0:27.0 | lead up to a vote on whether to house speaker McCarthy. My sources are telling me it's just |
| 0:33.0 | too close to call whether or not that's going to happen or what's been interesting to watch |
