Welcome at his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. Senator, what a way to go back to

Washington to bring people up to date on what's happened. 20 House Republicans have voted for someone

other than Kevin McCarthy. There were multiple votes that were held. They've decided to to basically

end it until noon on Wednesday.

Some people said, well, that's just because there's a lot of family members in town.

I think the world was spending for Kevin McCarthy.

You're there in Washington.

I think everybody in politics is surprised by how this played out so far.

Well, it's a big deal what's happening.

It's the first time in 100 years that the House Speaker vote went to multiple ballots.

And right now, the House is in recess until noon on Wednesday.

And noon on Wednesday, we'll find out what happens next.

There were three rounds of

balloting, and on each of the three, nobody had the 218 votes needed to win the

speakership. And so this battle, this battle is waging. You and I are recording this on Tuesday evening after the House is adjourned,

but before they've gathered in the morning. I am confident there are multiple furious

conversations ongoing right now all across Washington, conversations between Kevin McCarthy

and his allies, conversations between the rebels who are opposing McCarthy, and they're likely are negotiations going on right now, but we won't know at least until tomorrow what happens.

And it's not going to be dull. Yeah, it's not going to be dull.

Let's talk about the history of this. There, there are people, and this is even on the Democrat

side that say, hey, we don't like this type of precedent because then what you could end up

happening in the future is when you have tied elections.
