One thing I don't understand about politics. How could a democrat become speaker with the republicans having a majority in the house at the same time? Just explain that process

At the beginning of every Congress, the House votes on a Speaker. Parties tend to agree to all vote for one of theirs to be Speaker, so usually someone from the majority party wins. In this case, a few Republicans voted for Gephardt in protest, which gave him a majority and made him Speaker.
