Good evening, I'm Jeff Bennett. I'm the Navasas on assignment. On the NewsHour tonight,

Kevin McCarthy is ousted as Speaker of the House days after he defied far-right Republicans

and secured a deal to avoid a federal government shutdown. Lafonza Butler is sworn in to replace

the late Democratic Senator from California, Diane Feinstein. What to know about the history

making appointment? And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighs in on the state

of American politics and the growing GOP calls to halt aid for Ukraine.

I don't understand any American, siding with Putin, but we've seen it, and we've heard

it, and we have to fight against it.

Welcome to the NewsHour. For the first time in this nation's history, the House of Representatives

has formally ousted its Speaker. A handful of hard-right Republicans and every Democrat

voted together to remove the gavel from Speaker Kevin McCarthy's hand. Lawmakers from both

parties spoke on the House floor ahead of the final vote.

Chaos is Speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word. The one

thing that the White House, House Democrats, and many of us on the conservative side of

the Republican caucus would argue is that the thing we have in common, Kevin McCarthy

said something to all of us at one point or another that he didn't really mean and never

intended to live up to.

This body is entrenched in a sub-optimal path and refuses to leave it. Refuses to leave

that path. You cannot change if you're unwilling to change. We had every opportunity to change.

We were promised to change.

With the Democrats driving the fiscal bus off the cliff at 100 miles an hour, we cannot

simply be content to be the party that slows it down to 95 just so we can sit in the front
