Welcome back in Clay Travis Bucksext and show Tuesday edition. Appreciate all of you. It had a great

holiday break back into the fray and my goodness if we aren't into a crazy fray

immediately

The first ballot has already been cast

The voting is underway and Kevin McCarthy is not going to receive enough votes to be speaker

Uh, so on the first ballot this means we will go to a second ballot for speaker for the first time in a hundred years and

and again, I don't think Buck anybody has any idea how exactly this is going to play out because there doesn't seem to be a second ballot

um

That is suddenly going to resolve everything and by the way things could change at the last moment they cast their votes

They're going through alphabetically

You can change your vote before it becomes final for people out there who are procedural wizards and want to know the nitty gritty

Your initial vote. I think you get a chance right before the final vote to cast it. So in theory

Something could occur that would lead to people flipping their vote

But Kevin McCarthy as people are making it known who they are voting for does not have two hundred and eighteen votes

In order to be able uh to take that next step and become speaker of the house

What is this supposed to I don't know is the question that I don't know and we're both just so you know we're in real time

contacting and getting getting information from

members of congress who are in this

Floor fight and and who are going through this right now and I I'm still wondering what exactly is supposed to happen here

Because the the concessions

That I've seen talked about are things that McCarthy would not all there's just no way he's going to sign on to at least their ability to

Have a there's there's a sort of democlease provision if you will where if he does things they don't like
