they see her -- kevin mccarthy was especially burned by her. she was something that built herself as the governing wing. she wasn't a part of the freedom caucus. kevin mccarthy spent a lot of money to initially get her elected. they are trying to keep her at arm's distance. the question is whether the voters care about this. in bob goode's district, he's confident that the conservative area, they didn't like kevin mccarthy, same with eli crane and andy begbeggs. >> bob goode said, if my opponent wants to bring in kevin mccarthy, he can. the outside groups spending. the potential outside groups coming in to spend money in race. what was interesting about what mccarthy predicted, is his ouster and the chaos and dysfunction, would lead to a wave of new republican retirements. in the past two days, we've seen two key committee chairman both announce they were going to step aside. this often happens when members believe that, yeah, they're the majority now. but going to be in the minority next year. >> there's regret from many members how this playe

, they have really struggled in the wake of kevin mccarthy being ousted. they are still reeling from that. i mean, i don't think that kevin mccarthy realizes just how much the conference was on his sayyed. he had those eight people who ousted him, but there's many who were his allies and his corner. i think he realizes it. yeah, that's why he's so upset >> melanie. thanks so much. great reporting. thank you for joining inside politics. i hope you all have a wonderful valentine's day. cnn news central starts after the break this looks like an actual florida. >> you don't >> meanwhile, at a vrbo >> none other vacation rentals aren't what they're cracked up to be dry one where you know what you get, your shipping manager left to find themselves leaving, you lost. you need to hire i need he'd indeed you do. indeed instant match, instantly delivers quality candidates, matching your job description visited d.com slash higher. >> high. we've both got a big birthday coming up. so we have a lot of brushes about medicare for >> we've got a lot of answers. how can i

mccarthy struck a nerve.secretary is responding to what speaker, former speaker mccarthy had said, that even in like very small meeting settings president biden has to have notes and he can't be distracted and can't sway from that or stray from that. here is this from the white house now. perhaps speaker mccarthy should make a note of the following reporting on his own card so he doesn't forget it again. and then what they have done, the white house deputy press secretary, andrew bates, has then provided some links, one is kevin mccarthy who talks from notes and this is huffington post and separately the "new york times," privately mccarthy has told allies he found mr. biden to be mentally sharp. they went through and tried -- don't know the dates on those things, we have not had a chance to drill down, this is just happening. but kevin mccarthy struck a nerve with the white house and the white house is fighting back. we have a border crisis. focus, people. "america reports" now.

and what missing from people like mccarthy and mike johnson? it's a great question. i mean, look, i don't know how we get here. so i'm just going to toss this out and. we absolutely need campaign finance reform. i mean, george w bush, i remember when he ran in 2000, he had raised like 50 or 80 million. and everybody's, holy --, that's a lot of money, right? it was it was record breaking like they just spent 80 million. each candidate in new hampshire for a primary. i mean, that's that's to give you an example how exponentially this is. and so money is like mother's milk to a politician. you have to raise money. if you don't, you lose your ability to raise money affects how effective you are in congress. you well know, if you don't raise money for national committee, you're not going to get those plum committee assignments, even though it's officially not based on that. it is. and so so that's a huge problem. but can i just can i just press you on that? you talk a little bit about that because i don't think people outside the hill really understand how this basically

it only took a handful of republicans to remove mccarthy. we aren't sure if they would do the same thing with mike johnson but several democrats we talked to have said the ks is just a little bit too much and mike johnson has proven himself as someone who will negotiate with biden and schumer and pass responsible spending bills and keep the government open. it marjorie taylor greene brings the motion to vacate, we will help to keep mike johnson power. there are already voices saying that. we don't know if there would be enough of them. a lot of balls in the air if johnson brings the bill to the floor. would he not bring it to the floor? there is a procedure for bringing a bill to the floor around the wishes of the gop leader and it's called a discharge petition. it means if he gets 218 signatures on this petition come you force a vote on to the lord even if the majority leaders don't want it. mike johnson might not want to bring it to the florida the democrats find enough for the discharge position, then we would think it would pass. they wo

if george santos -- >> how much this has to do with kicking out mccarthy to begin with? >> it wasn't helpful, put it that way. that was not a -- not a good day for congress and it wasn't a good day for the country either. >> and the narrowness of the new majority under speaker of the house kevin -- mike johnson is what's caused so many issues for him, including in trying to pass any legislation. but do expect this effort to impeach mayorkas to happen again on tuesday. they'll get one more vote when the house majority leader, steve scalise, who's recovering from cancer will turn. that's why they plan to push it through by the slimmest of margins to make him the second cabinet secretary in history to be impeached. >> what about the fallout that continues over the special counsel's report about biden's memory? how are democrats responding to it? >> well, some are defending him very aggressively. some are side stepping the question altogether. a number of vulnerable democrats that we have spoken to have made it clear, amara, that they have no desire to get into this topic kn

he previously blamed former house speaker kevin mccarthy, for resurrecting this ethics probe that had been put on hold while the federal investigation moved forward. after cnn broke the news that this ethics investigation, starting to reach out to witnesses, engage, privately named mccarthy, and behind the push to oust mccarthy from his speakership, now today gaetz responded with a statement saying, the ethics committee is engaging in payback against me for ousting the person who singularly appointed every republican. now mccarthy has denied being the power behind this ethics, probe i also want to point out, john, since mccarthy has been ousted in, this investigation is not only, continued it has expanded and become much more aggressive than it was when he was speaker. >> all right, paul, arenas in and chief legal affairs correspondent, thank you very much. just ahead, the story of a closely divided electorate and a deepfakes cannot days before -- that may have had an effect on the outcome. this is a cautionary tale for u.s. politics next. >> it has been more than a week since -- used

think the ouster mccarthy, like i said, it didn't help anything and it hasn't been productive. i'm so in very critical of the people that ousted him. i think that that was a really dumb move >> the norm since i've been here. >> you don't >> get involved in someone else's primary and should be the norm because their price and long term divisions in the conference. so i'm going to support like boston will still go some were even more harsh maximo the ohio freshman told me that matt wants more chaos. he says he has mommy and daddy issues to work out. i mean, have you ever seen the house gop conference devolve like this and your time? not right. i mean, there's nothing there's i mean, it started at the beginning of this congress with mccarthy couldn't get elected the 15 vote to tour going to be speaker. and that was all. >> i mean, this is all intraparty fighting, which is the most amazing thing about it. it's all public, it's been going on all congress. but the issue here here, there's two issues are one gaetz is under investigation by the ethics committee, was under investigation

mccarthy told fox news that. all the biden white house attempts to discredit the herr report are going to fall on deaf ears around the country. believe me. joe biden is in a heap of trouble and trying to untruth his way out of it. i'm going to predict it will not work. the biden presidency is broke and florida congresswoman byron darnolds. talk about the -- florida congresswoman claudey tenny and byron donalds. synergy home is the 25th amendment applicable? >> first of all this, is so clear, the prosecutor is a binary choice and you either are competent to stand trial or if you're not, then you have to face a 25th amendment charge. it's not one or the other, it's -- that's it. it's if this prosecutor as you stated had reasonable grounds to determine and make the conclusion that you cited for mandy mccarthy -- andy mccarthy, we could have gone to a jury and they would have found him kindly and guilty he was guilty of a crime and knowingly and willfully handling of classified documents and if he knowingly did that

i remember the first day that we met, we actually met in then kevin mccarthy's big conference room in his speaker's suite and it was me and gallagher and then it was mccarthy and jeffries was sitting just to his left. and you know, mccarthy at that point said very clearly, he said look, we need this committee to succeed and if you want to engage in partisanship, i've got committees for that, but if you want to get something done, this is that committee and so, i think they set the right tone, they also selected members who quite frankly reflect the diversity of our caucuses, but most importantly are serious, they're serious about the issues, they're curious about, you know, how do you address some of the more kind of-- especially the technologically complicated questions and then how do we kind of come together on bipartisan recommendations. >> have you gotten any feedback from the current speaker, mike johnson, on the committee's work? >> yes, he's following very closely. he is very interested in kind of maintaining that same spirit, that his predecessors, you know, started and i thi

that is what mccarthy told gaetz. i can't do this for you, i won't do it, so that was sort of the context within which he took down mccarthy. is that the motive? it is unclear. and we don't know yet what the house ethics commission is going to do. any day now we could find out whether or not that goes anywhere, if it is just kind of ending. it's not basically where we are? >> the worst that can happen to him, the criminal investigation is done. they didn't charge him so the worst that could happen would be that he's kicked out of congress. it would be like george santos. >> on the other side, heidi, you've got the new speaker, mike johnson, who is not afraid to wear his christianity on his sleeve. his caller, his lapel, wherever he can wear it. how do members react to that. how are they responding to this real strong infusion of christian nationalism into the body politics of the house? >> i talked with a lot of experts on this and i have seen it with my reporting, michael, which is that the base of the republican par

mccarthy at that point said very clearly, look, we need this committee to succeed. if you want to engage in partisanship, i've got committees for that. but if you want to get something done, this is that committee. i think they set the right tone. they also selected members who technically reflect the diversity of our caucuses. most importantly are serious. they are serious about the issues. they are curious about how do you address some of the more -- especially the technologically complicated questions. and then how do we come together on bipartisan recommendations? >> have you gotten any feedback from the current speaker mike johnson on the committee's work? mr. krishnamoorthi: yes. he's following closely. he's interested in maintaining that same spirit that his predecessors started. and i think that we just have to continue throughout this congress. as you know there is no shortage of work to do. >> do you ever feel like there's too much consensus in washington on china that you don't have enough dissent? mr. krishnamoorthi: we have a lot of dissent on our commi

[laughter] speaker mccarthy how the most trump and how can the best from the authority for possession okay go after really biden alone, as i have his marbles in a slightly senile and heck to go after trump drop the charges against trump as well is clayman stephen you know what i mean is easy to take both off the table. kevin: for member this how do they go take documents, when they went into merrill autozone calling trump when into the fvr at the world on holding the try to break into safes were finding out even when you go down to the her case in atlanta, one for the meeting the white house the charge the president and it just shows the political with the going after president trump on the weapon icing the doj data shows us but also, we know this president is the last couple of days, aeschylus talk to people that work - they die decades before thing that adjustment with them when is it due to the weakness of the country guess is much more will we know that we a weapon i system prevent another using it, try to give president trump not to be able to run for office again in the now ackn

well, i've already told you mccarthy was, down on this and so down on was it. he and his allies that they went after the biggest examples of it. so this alternate path is most identified with an apparatus called the perceptron, which was a teral an attempt to literally reproduce in machines, a kind of neural that would sense things and try to say whether what you're seeing is an a or an h initially it was a large machine, but it became something that was very much algorithmic for mccarthy and his allies. this was the antithesis of what artificial intelligence would be. and i recorded this for you. it was to get at the lowest level of human and animal cognition and not its heights. the symbolic heights. so they deliberately targeted for death quite successfully, and argued that the data centric approach was not intelligence worth the name. okay, so that's all for review. and i am casting it into 2 to 2, you know, black, white colors. so our question is, how did this data focused approach come back? did it come from how did it come to dominate in the ways that it

. >> sandra: fox team coverage for you, jonathan turley and andy mccarthy how they see the ruling based on the line of questioning today. >> john: first shannon bream is live outside the supreme court. that was quite a presentation today, shannon. do we have any idea whether or not the justices were swayed one way or the other? >> shannon: well, john, they certainly seem to be leaning in favor of the former president, president trump and ability to stay on the ballot and any state that would challenge that under the 14th amendment. i have to say the first part of this case was very wonky. hemmer was talking about it last hour, i did feel like a law school lecture but toward the last third got to the things everybody gets at home, what is the practical impact of this. justice kagan first to bring up do you let one state actually make a decision that ripples down to decide for the whole country. justice barrett followed up if we rule for colorado that's what will happen. and the chief justice, if we say states have the power to do this, there will be some states that will take that and sa

kevin mccarthy with me now. good morning to you. nice to have you on.had a lot of time to gab on saturday night and there seemed to be this question as to what is nikki haley doing next? we know she is competing in michigan tomorrow. there was some talk whether or not she would be a third party nominee or candidate. grady trimble caught up with her last night in michigan. >> i don't know how more clear i can make this i don't want vice president. i have said multiple times i'm a republican. i'm not running as any other party or independent. and i will continue to say this is not about my political career. this is about the future of america. >> will you ever run as a third party candidate? >> i have said no over and over again. i have no interest in a third party candidatesy. >> bill: i showed you the numbers. what's the strategy? how does this thing wind down? >> i don't think nikki haley runs as a third party candidate. she is a republican. the race is over. it will be between president trump and president biden. i think the sooner we focus on that an

they had at their cost had gone up, as with many things, because of inflation and mccarthy stone made more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. hello from the bbc sport centre. manchester city continue the defence of their champions league title later as they travel to denmark to take on fc copenhagen. the current champions go into the last 16 tie as favourites — which doesn't faze copenhagen — and manager pep guardiola has warned against complacency when taking on a side which beat manchester united 4—3 in the group stages and finished ahead of erik ten hag's side. what i saw that they have done, this group and the stage against these opponents, i say, well. i said to the players this morning, you have to prepare mentally. the game plan will be as it has always been but it means we have to be ready. we are faced, you know, with big power— we are faced, you know, with big power before. we have a strong belief_ power before. we have a strong belief in — power before. we have a strong belief in ourselves. i really don't care _ belief in ourselves. i really don't car

now mccarthy has denied being really the power behind this ethic probe. i want to point out that since mccarthy has been ousted, this investigation has not only continued. it has expanded and become much more aggressive than it was when he was speaker. >> all right. cnn chief legal affairs correspondent, thank you very much. >>> just ahead, the story of a closely divided electorate in a deep fake scandal days before votes were cast that may have had an effect on the outcome. this is a cautionary tale for u.s. politics, next. >>> it has been more than a week since ai in biden's voice told people not to vote in the primary. we don't know who is behind it. it worries experts, particularly as ai-generated speech exists in a legal gray area and lawmakers are far from any kind of legislative solution. there is no indication that this robocall affected results, but a report a close election in europe where a last-minute deep fake may have had an effect. >> does this sound like you? >> it does sound like me. >> it sounds like him but it isn't him. this is michael

andy mccarthy, sol wisenberg, marc thiessen. you can see the boxes on the right-hand side of the screen. we've been talking about the special counsel deciding there's no charges against the president for holding classified documents in his delaware home. but the report is damning otherwise. that's "the story" february 8, 2024. the story goes on. i'll see you back here for fox news at night. >> neil: all right. now we hurry up and wait. although we might not be waiting too long for a decision from the supreme court on whether a state can kick donald trump off of its ballot. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. let's get to it with shannon bream, the very latest

if you go back to the fall of 2022, right, mccarthy knew the same thing that your last panel said.morrhaging, hemorrhaging independent voters in the suburbs, especially in key districts in key states. that is not going to stop between now in november. so i think the idea that somehow you could bring in a right wing evangelical christian nationalist from the backbench and somehow everything would be fixed is ridiculous. >> to be clear everyone, that is an accurate description of speaker mike johnson, literally look it up. congresswoman edwards, we talk about the suburbs. tom suozzi, again, one in a special election, another example of the suburbs republicans have lost. house republicans now have slow majority and it's about to get even slimmer. i wrote this op-ed for msnbc. com, but -- election, nancy pelosi maneuvered her narrow majority to get quite a few things done. do you think democrats need to be reminding voters of that every single day until november ? >> i think it is really important for democrats to point out that they are a party that wants to govern, that wants to make

fox news legal editor, fox news contributor andy mccarthy. first to david spunt inside the building where it is all going on. >> hunter biden has been on capitol hill his third time in just a few months. really a couple of months. hunter biden rushed past cameras as he got out of his s.u.v. today to walk into this building. we know the deposition began at 10:00. it will be a very long day. not only for hunter biden and his attorneys but also lawmakers. chairman james comer plans to stay in all day. hunter biden walked past the media at a fast clip. we obtained his opening statement that he read in the room and he told the committee in part quote for more than a year your committees have hunted me and your partisan political pursuit of my dad. you have trafficked in innuendo, distortion and sensationalism. all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face. you do not have evidence to support the baseless and maga motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn't any. house republicans want to ask hunter

andy mccarthy, thank you as always. great to have you with us today. >> thanks. >> martha: still ahead, karl rove joins us and trump attorney alina habba after the town hall last night. how will the former president seek to pay this $355 million plus within 30 days? we'll talk to her about that and more on the trump agenda. former kgb spy, jack barski about what is driving putin to continue taking americans. this is a duel citizen in to the prison system in russia. that follows the arrest of senia c carlina. she's now in russian custody. >> we need to take her out of the jail. if we do not do that, she will spend the rest of her life there. it's going to be torture. so she will never get out of the jail. and jen z. each planning their future through the chase mobile app. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is working with a banker to budget for her birthday. you only turn 30 once. and jen z? her credit's golden. hello new apartment. three jens gett

mike mccarthy needs to be gone. get what they have one super bowl and mccarthy has a better record. one says fire him. the other can't be touched. that's what is going on with blacks. can't say anything. if do you you're racist. it allows us to stay in jobs sometimes over. mr. eric adams will use that even though the people criticizing him are as chocolate. i'm so glad we have this chocolate around us. >> jesse: it's okay. it preserves your job security even if you're not doing that good of a job sthafplt okay to play in that case? >> look this is black history month. what i would like first off is for you to switch houses with me. that needs to happen. we have awful these black people, i don't know if you have seen it, there are black people saying the wild thing. i thought black friday would be -- i'm disappointed about that. now i'm disappointed about black history month. i'm not getting free stuff. we can ask for you. the world says, what can we do about it. >> jesse: nothing is wrong to ask for it or playing a card to keep your job. i don't know, tomi, i haven't seen your house

senator mccarthy has come to challenge him this time. if mccarthy gets 30% of the vote or more against an incumbent president he can legitimately claim a legitimate victory. >> that would mean there's something going on, some problems, some alerts, some serious opposition. mccarthy won 42% in a result seen as stunning at the time. now, there were many factors driving opposition to lbj from vietnam to domestic unrest. as a matter of political math, lbj knew those numbers meant his party was on the road to rejecting him. he could lose in the primary, to rfk in the wings, could lose the general election. he made a rare, dramatic historic announcement, quitting, as president, his re-election campaign. >> i shall not seek, and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. >> that was then. now, there are no signs whatsoever that donald trump looks at this math or understands the warning signs politically in the same way. as mentioned, there are some differences. i talked about historical parallels. donald tr

we blocked more money to ukraine for now and we punted kevin mccarthy who authorized $115 billion toe that we now see flashing around the money laundering capitals of the world. we shouldn't have any foreign aid to any other country without corresponding cuts to our own bloated federal governments. if you want to send aid to israel, fine, pay for it by defunding the united nations. i want the u.n. to be zero doubt in our budget. the u.s. should be out of the u.n. and the u.s. should be out of the u.s. how about that? how about take the money away from the -- have some of the own people attacking and killing israelis? seems like a good also. i know we've heard a lot about alexei navalny is death recently, tragic. you should be allowed to post the ruling party in your country without risk of poison or prison or death but i would remind everyone, especially the journalist in the back, that ukraine zelinsky imprison an american journalist who then died in prison. not only that but zelensky supports outlawing an entire religion. the ukrainian orthodox church. and he just cancel ukraine's

would have cut here well, he inherited a lot of kevin kevin mccarthy's bad deals. number one. so i don't fault him for that, but number two, i'm going to say the same thing. i've always said republicans and democrats crowds alike are spending too much period policy-wise. >> what did you get out of throwing out mccarthy >> we have continued with the crs the same the same policies that that i voted against on september 30, the last act of the previous speaker. that's true. >> and those last two comments came from two of the eight republicans who voted out, kevin mccarthy, bob good, and nancy mays making very clear that that not whole lot has changed policy-wise now, neither of them are willing to say that they would actually move to oust mike johnson at this moment, as johnson has said, it's time to close the chapter on last year's spending bills focused on next year's spending bills, because this short-term bill that is about to pass the senate tonight would give them just a handful of more days to actually pass last year spending goes to keep the government open up

it started this way under former speaker kevin mccarthy and has gotten worse under johnson. read, let's just say that johnson's ousted. does that even solve the dysfunction? >> it, frankly, mike. as i wrote three or four months ago on substack that i think republicans in those very biden districts that you're talking about sort of said that a lot of us are probably done anyways, let's cross over and give hakeem jeffries the gavel, get some real things done for the country in that time. maybe it costs us our jobs but it will help the country. at this point the democrats might get the house back bishops on the attrition rate going on, but i would also say this. the things that johnson is holding up, whether or not it is israel aid, ukraine aid, the border, as the former congresswoman said, this march 1st deadline, these are things that have overwhelming support. the republican party, which is a donald trump and mike johnson's republican party, are holding these things up almost singlehandedly. i would also say that only republicans shut down the government. democrats don't shu

bring in former house speaker kevin mccarthy. mr. speaker, great to see you in person.ts on how president trump doing with nikki haley still in the race? >> he's doing very well. to me, the race is over. it is about addition, not subtraction, ask for debate on border, foreign policy and others and make debates at night. it is about rebuilding, restoring, renewing america. >> brian: when nikki haley says president trump can't beat joe biden or win, he is volatile and brings chaos, are you surprised she is using democratic arguments? does it hurt the former president? >> i don't think it hurts. president trump is above that. to me, she is trying everything she can. her numbers keep going down. she lost her home state. we want nikki haley to be here. >> brian: she is a great candidate. >> she is and has a big future. the party has to unite. in michigan -- he only won michigan, biden by 159,000 votes, he has problems. uncommitted delegates are going to the convention, could repeat democratic convention in past chicago and have protest there. >> brian: if they don't like pre

and he is not kevin mccarthy. they have to do an interim spending bill, they will push on mike johnson. >> shannon: thank you always for your insight, good toy zoo you both. up next, more on maximum dysfunction on display at the capitol hill this week. we'll talk to lawmakers about if it is possible to overcome the log jam. that is next is "fox news sunday." with two lobster tails and lobster & shrimp linguini it's one of ten next-level lobster creations red lobster. is your party ready? a few years ago, i came to saona, they told me there's no electricity on the island. we always thought that whatever we did here would be an emblem of what small communities can achieve. trying to give a better life to people that don't have the means to do it. si mi papá estuviera vivo, sé que él tuviera orgulloso también de vivir de esta viviendo una vida como la que estamos viviendo ahora. es electricidad aquí es salud. (vo) welcome to lobsterfest. is your party ready? ready to attack this new lobster & shrimp stack? ready to g

you said speaker mccarthy entered this discussion. you talked about cutting the 87,000 new irs agents. why have we not cut any federal spending? >> because unfortunately there is one party in washington, d.c. and they are kindly seeking the fundamental transformation of america. we do not internalize what that means. there is another party that is not worthy going to do much about anything to stop it -- not really going to do much about anything to stop it. there are many americans who want to continue spending and they have their projects. i can tell you is a person who wore the uniform of the united states, funding the military is important to me. does the military have an audit ever? does it say that there are no waste or fraud or abuse is there? if you want to find some efficiencies, there are folks on our side of the aisle that will never go for any of it. as long as we keep doing that, there is always a deal to be made. they can always find enough democrats to vote for all of the other stuff. folks like me and russ are left on t

mccarthy only went down for this photo op after he had criticized donald trump's coup.haley is calling out these public embraces as clearly false and we know they're false not because she says so, well, because she's running against trump. because of what i just said mike johnson said about trump being unfit for office and what mccarthy said before the photo i showed you. >> the president bears responsibility for the activity. >> i don't see how he could be criminally charged. mccarthy's rhetoric there. what criminal activity did he engage in? there's an answer for that. prosecutors have answered there were several criminal plots to overthrow the election and they met the requisite bar to indict on that. donald trump is presumed innocent until those trials but those looming trials are part of this tonight. that's why -- one of the reasons why haley's staying in, that's why it's a factor for haley to stay in even if she trails. she is now the republican party's only viable alterna tiff. she's the only person with her own ongoing campaign structure and her own delegate co

kevin mccarthy made that same point.fic point and it has to be point has to be a point made over and over again. the other thing trump didn't violate the law. presidents are allowed to take documents out in their possession, presumably safe keep it. biden is not allowed to do that. vice president, senators are not allowed to do that. i have 30 seconds left. what's up with that? he broke the law, biden but he is getting off because he doesn't have all his marbles? >> i'm on the armed services committee. when we go in the scif i can't take my phone in there, certainly can't take anything out of there. joe biden as senator or vice president, taking documents open in a box in a garage his son is live inning that same house who is compromised potentially by ukrainians and chinese. this whole thing is out of a terrible movie but they will let him go. it is joe biden and his department of justice. americans sigh that what it is. it is banana republic style lawfare. larry: the system is broken. people want it fixed. senator eric

and kevin mccarthy will join us.untdown to shutdown in the battle over border security and funding for ukraine. we'll be right back. (grunting) at morgan stanley, old school hard work meets bold new thinking. (laughter) at 88 years old, we still see the world with the wonder of new eyes, helping you discover untapped possibilities and relentlessly working with you to make them real. old school grit. new world ideas. morgan stanley. wall street forecasts over 100 billion in sales for anti-obesity drugs known as glp -1. but these treatments are largely administrated through cumbersome injections. enter lexaria bioscience with their patented oral delivery technology. early studies were glp-1 suggest reduced side effects and better blood sugar control with reduced spikes. lexaria bioscience. transforming the future of glp-1 drug delivery. >>> welcome back to "squawk box." the futures right now about where they were, and the nasdaq doubles its gain, up about 30, up about 57 points right now. people say why are you looking

that's no different than what kevin mccarthy went through, it's no different than why paul ryan went.ble conference. the republicans as their currently constituted have no interest in governing. have no interest in fulfilling the basic responsibilities of being a member of congress, which is to extend chilly bumped the government and keep the government running. they do want to do that. so anyone who's in that position who does anything that would resemble responsible governing gets run out of town. >> okay, david, johnson is of course, unsurprisingly, trying to downplay all of this criticism, right? one of the things that he said is, i don't think that this is a reflection on the leader, it's a reflection on the body itself, and the place where we've come in this country. so david, is there any truth to that at all? actually trying, trying to see his side, is there any truth to that? is what we are seeing a reflection of the way that trump has hijacked the party? he sort of has his arms stuck. >> it is a reflection of the level of partisanship with which the republican majority has d

. >> he's the beneficiary of what was imposed on kevin mccarthy, which mccarthy humiliatingly accepted, and so you have a diminished office of the speaker, along with a tiny majority, so tiny johnson couldn't get his bills passed. >> that's what i was going to ask. is it fair to blame it on the speaker, or is it really that nobody could govern or handle this razor thin majority? >> i think if nancy pelosi were in charge with a one seat majority, she would make it happen. but the real problem is the rules imposed on the speaker and the ease with which a handful of republican dissenters, maybe that's too nice of a word, can cripple a speakership. they have proven they were willing to do it with mccarthy, with all the potential successors and they'll do it with johnson. their goal is anarchy, not governance. >> let's turn to the senate where mitch mcconnell, somebody who has covered this a long time, has long been regarded as a legislative mastermind and complete iron control, sort of the nancy pelosi of the senate, complete control of the senate, which is in some respects more complicate

shows it was a bad idea to get rid of kevin mccarthy. i want to show you an assortment of lawmakers talking to my hill colleagues. take a look. >> these vowed votes need to co the floor. as bad as pelosi was, she knew it was important. >> and why did we barrel ahead. we didn't need to embarrass ourselves. >> there is a lack of leadership and i'm disappointed that we're not having the conversation of what is round two. we need a round two because otherwise we're getting nothing on the border. >> the problem of course is that they don't seem to have a better option than mike johnson. just getting him in there was not easy. >> and it is really showing the perils of bringing in a rookie speaker and perils of how to take down somebody in kevin mccarthy who for better or worse had been there for quite a while. i think this was a pretty stunning embarrassment for speaker johnson, for tom emertz, the whip. their team. for those who voted against the impeachment of secretary mayorkas, i don't think that they were quiet about their intentions. it

speaker kevin mccarthy. and, most importantly, cheryl johnson for the honor of addressing and honoring you today and giving me this opportunity to be here with you. i grew up in new orleans as i mentioned. to you we say new orleans because you may not understand. at home we say algiers. a very special place to all of us. a very small tightknit community with its challenges like many other communities. but a loving group of individuals most of which are related some way or another. either by blood or just because we been together so long we call each other because in now. that is how we do it. growing up in this community from my very roots and upbringing, cheryl exemplified the resilience, spirit and determination of our community. her integrity hard work and serving others got a path of greatness. it is clear that she has given so much because she has been blessed to have so much. you may not look far to see the fruits of her labor, her beautiful family and her children in the great work that they are doing

in october 8 house republicans one of which was not you got rid of kevin mccarthy.e how the house has improved since kevin was dethroned by all the democrats in a republicans but am i missing something are things going swimmingly and i missing it? >> i think were seeing that were confronting all the same issues we did and kevin mccarthy was the speaker so now speaker johnson is confronted with the same problems trying to pass appropriation bills trying to build consensus and a republican conference in a difficult thing to achieve. i do believe what we are seeing is the problems have not changed we are confronting all the same challenges. i know speaker johnson is working hard to build consensus but we bid in the same situation with appropriation bills and continuing resolution and we really need a conference to come together and start working as a team and that unfortunately is one that were confronting. trey: you do not appear to be part of the problem, look forward to talking to you on a sunday night. >> rita seal. >> former state department spokesperson morgan or

that's what lyndon johnson signed new hampshire, jean mccarthy got 42% of the vote. and then in johnson dropped out of the presidential race, not because he thought gene mccarthy could beat him to the nomination. he was sure he would get the nomination of the convention in chicago, because that's where it was going to be decided. it wasn't gonna be decided in the primaries. but the signaling and johnson got from the new hampshire vote was i can't win in november. this is too much weakness within my own party for me to win in november. and that's why he dropped out. when you look at this vote on uncommitted, which is one that i fully respect, strategically, and the people who want to cast, to deliver this expression of, this is based on a policy that we care about, we think the president is failing us on this one policy and only on this one policy, and no other policy. this is not a vote for a person. they could have put up a candidate. they could've gone to dean phillips. dean phillips says he wants to see a cease-fire in december. they refused. refused to vote for d
