joining me now, house republican leader kevin mccarthy. when chad does that report and runs that math and talks about hakeem jeffries becoming the speaker of the house, what is going on? you getting butterflies over there? >> no, look we'll get there. we had our primary where andy biggs ran against me and we won 85% of the vote. what is happening now, negotiations. in the last two cycles, the senate has lost seats, the governors have lost seats, the president lost seats. the only entity to win is the house. our goal was to stop biden's agenda, win the majority and fire nancy pelosi. we did all three of those. we have to come together as one. it's a small majority. if we can't come together on that opening day, no investigations. no subpoenas, no repealing 87,000 irs agents. no becoming energy independent, no securing the border. i think that is more important than sitting in squabbling with one another. we need to find a way to govern together. >> martha: you hear chad pergram talking about 20 people. there's five names out there already t

but biggs lost that race but he was able to peel away 31 votes away from kevin mccarthy. in order for kevin mccarthy to become elected speaker on january 3rd he can only afford to lose four votes so if those protest votes, the ones who supported andy biggs continue to support biggs on the floor on january 3rd when they vote to elect the next house speaker that means mccarthy has a serious math problem. behind closed doors republicans engaged in a tense debris and allies called for unity and some detractors said there need to be some changes. >> it's nothing new in our history. this is normal. we're having a debate just like the democrats did last time. there was an enormous discussion heading into the speaker's race in the last congress. >> i think it's a done deal. i think this is all theatrics. imagine a players like this having theatrics before a major vote. it's a done deal. >> so it's not a done deal but could certainly be theatrics. the question is whether biggs maintains this challenge, his candidacy until january 3rd or if they cut a deal in order to allow mccarth

but as you played there, kevin mccarthy has complicated the politics for republicans saying just wait, republicans will be in charge and we'll be able to reset the negotiations entirely soon. one wild fact, guys. a u.s. government is still operating on trump-era budget numbers. it's two years into the biden presidency. they've never passed a budget and been able to fund the government on those terms. they've been on auto pilot. who's to say they get another one in a divided government for the next two years. >> sahil, we've got about three weeks left of this lame-duck session, keeping the government open probably number one in priority. but the electoral count act, we've heard so much about this in the wake of january 6th, there seemed to be momentum particularly on the senate side. where do things stand? is a deal going to be to get done before republicans take control of the house? >> it's an important question and i'm glad you asked. i spent late last week trying to figure that out. i asked chuck schumer, who said the first job is to get an omnibus. i spoke to amy klobucar, and she

yes. >> you mentioned that you haven't met with kevin mccarthy yet. you're waiting for him to be elected speaker. are you concerned that there could be a maga republican? someone perhaps to his right that's elected. >> there are going to be a whole lot of republicans to his left, to the left of the door to more to the middle than the maga republicans. and i've talked to some of these folks, some of them are from new york, and they know that following the maga republicans is thelma and louise over the cliff. so i think you're gonna be surprised at how much pull there's going to be on mccarthy once he's elected to move to the middle rather than to the hard right. and if he's a smart politician, he will know that's the right place to go. >> do you think that the folks to the middle will have some potentially in the fight before he gets to be speaker as well? >> i can't tell you that. >> a question about the break in parody on defense and nondefense funding, republicans, including mitch mcconnell, seem to see this as resetting the table and i think they'r
