Interviews with: Rep. Chip Roy, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Rep. Katherine Clark

About this episode

First, after a bruising fight, Kevin McCarthy finally grabs the speakership. But can he govern? Republican Rep. Chip Roy, the man who negotiated a deal to deliver McCarthy key votes, joins Jake Tapper for his first post-vote interview.  Next, Jake presses a lawmaker who's been critical of those who rebelled against McCarthy, Republican Dan Crenshaw, on whether he can now work with members of his party he called "terrorists."  Then, Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark discusses the chaos of the past week, proclaiming, "The keys have been handed over to extremists."  Finally, our panel debates McCarthy's drawn-out speakership fight and President Trump's potential influence on Republican members of the House.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
