All right. Thank you, Scott Shannon. And thanks to all of you for being with us, our two Sean Hannity show as we speak a motion to vacate the chair, the final vote is actually going on as we speak.

And that is a vote to house speaker McCarthy just to give you some context texture where we are in all of this is.

You know, this vote is now going down vacate the chair brought by Matt gates of Florida houses voting to vacate a symbol majority will be needed.

The exact number of votes that it's going to take you have two people that we know are missing Nancy Pelosi is that I believe Diane fine style is funeral.

You have a Republican Congresswoman from Florida recently had her child and she's not in the chamber today. And anyway, so we don't know what the actual real number is whether or not people will vote president or not, you know, that's yet to be determined.

And as of right now, it's it's 32 29. It's a call of the role, meaning alphabetically using their surname. They go through the list of all the congressmen and women and they come to a final conclusion likely to happen.

If I had to guess this hour, it depends how long it takes seems to be moving along pretty quickly. Just a couple of notes is just a couple of notes as we go through this.

So this this just takes a simple majority members vote from their seats. This is what we call a verbal call of the role.

They go through it alphabetically. If the house adopts the motion, there is no speaker. That would mean that speaker McCarthy has been removed, which by the way is unprecedented.

The house will have removed a speaker for the first time in history by rule. The house must then elect a speaker. No other business will take place before then.

The house can do nothing else on the floor. No bills. Nothing. You'll have basically a paralyzed body on the floor until they elect a speaker. The house could adjourn, but that is somewhat unclear. Now part of and this is pretty interesting to me too.

Part of part of what happened since 9 11 is there is a list. Nobody knows the names of the people on this list that Kevin McCarthy has put together.

That would actually be a speaker pro Tam that would basically be running the floor of the house in the interim while they continue to the process of electing a new speaker.

All my contacts on the floor are telling me and I just got another text right now too close to call, too close to everyone saying it's too close to call.

We'll know more probably very quickly here as to how this all comes down.

And but you know again it's pretty unprecedented if you want the history of this is you know this could go on into a series of hour after hour of not day after day of consecutive votes until a speaker emerges.

There is no one name that is as of now but emerged as a potential replacement. It is pretty similar to what we saw in January when it took five days, 15 votes to elect McCarthy, the longest speaker elections since 1859.

The election of speaker Howell Cobb of Georgia took two weeks, that was in 1849, the longest election for speaker ran for two months and that was 1855 to 18, you know, 56 and the house finally elected speaker Nathaniel banks on the 133rd ballot.

Now you certainly got to hope that that doesn't happen. Look, I just stand where I've been, you know, and and Trump tweeted this out in the middle of his own mess and trial he tweeted out for truth, social doubt.

You know, why is it Republicans are now in this position? Now I will concede to Matt gates and to anybody that might be thinking of voting to vacate the chair.

That the 12 appropriation bills are absolutely the process worth fighting for. Okay, it didn't happen. Now with that said, as they began the process of okay, we have to fund the government, the government shuts down.

They were really, really solid conservatives in the freedom caucus that put together not one but two plans that quote the people that don't like McCarthy, a lot of this is personal that I can tell you because I know the people involved in this for a lot of it's personal.
