Topic: House Vote

Jones plays a CNN segment featuring Harry Enten, who reports that the Democratic Party's chances of taking the House in 2026 have plummeted. The analysis suggests that mid-decade redistricting in states like Texas and Missouri favors Republicans, potentially adding up to seven seats. Furthermore, a potential Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act (VRA) could result in double-digit seat gains for the GOP, making a Democratic takeover unlikely.

Donald Trump addresses a crowd in Washington D.C., celebrating his victory in all seven swing states and winning the popular vote. He credits the "too big to rig" turnout for overcoming alleged fraud and securing a Republican mandate in both the Senate and the House. Trump emphasizes a political realignment involving record support from Hispanic and African American voters.

Owen Shroyer conducts a district-by-district analysis of the remaining uncalled House races. He identifies key contests in Arizona (Districts 1 and 6), Iowa (District 1), and several small districts in California that will determine the final margin of the Republican majority. Shroyer also notes the impact of ranked-choice voting in Alaska and how it might affect the Republican candidate, Begich, in his bid for the House seat.

Kevin McCarthy fell two votes short of the Speakership in his 12th attempt, despite reaching a new high of 213 votes. Thirteen former holdouts flipped to McCarthy, though several members were absent for reasons including funerals and medical emergencies. The narrow loss left McCarthy visibly frustrated as the House moved toward further deliberations.

Callers express frustration with the House Speaker race, labeling Kevin McCarthy a "half-ass Republican" and a "Rhino." The discussion emphasizes that the Speaker is third in line for the presidency, making the choice critical given Biden's perceived instability. The House has officially adjourned until later in the evening, delaying the 14th vote.

Representative Chip Roy issued a scathing statement condemning members of the House for using proxy voting while on vacation. The criticism focuses on the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which Karine Jean-Pierre allegedly admitted had not been fully read by those voting on it. The process is compared to Nancy Pelosi's famous remark about passing bills to find out what is in them.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced the Congressional Voting Accountability Act to end the practice of passing legislation via "voice vote" without a recorded tally. The bill seeks to force all 435 members of Congress to vote in person and on the record, preventing a handful of members from passing massive bills in an empty chamber.

Marjorie Taylor Greene describes the "uniparty" system in Washington, where both Republicans and Democrats work to maintain the status quo. She explains how new members of Congress are pressured to vote according to committee leadership to be considered "team players." Greene emphasizes that her refusal to conform led to her being stripped of committee assignments, which she views as a badge of honor for standing her ground.

Marjorie Taylor Greene explains her strategy of forcing recorded "roll call" votes in the House to prevent members from hiding their voting records through voice votes. She claims this practice has put over 500 bills on the record, allowing constituents to see if their representatives actually showed up and how they voted. Greene also criticizes Representative Dan Crenshaw for his alleged ties to the World Economic Forum and his opposition to the Freedom Caucus.
