>> she has absolutely no answers. i believe her when she says she speaks for the president. because she has nothing to say. that was cringe on a level of the biden debate. all i can say is, thank god the 20th of january is coming, because that was just brutal. just lastly real quick, i don't think they still get the idea that when they invoke musk as somehow of a pejorative come anybody under 35 says the world's richest smartest guy is in this thing? fantastic. >> to your point, elon musk does not benefit from a spending less government money. i think the republicans are smart to hold the line on this. the american people voted for this but hopefully they will get what they asked for. it's time for a total upheaval perhaps. maybe we will be better because of it. >> thanks, ♪ ♪

"wall street journal" board editorial film that govern would join on this. joe. >> john: peter doocy with congressional plans to fund the federal government and how much power does he wield even that we is not in office. do we begin with aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. you must have a caught there on the hill because i don't think you have had a chance to get home yet. >> no, i am in the basement now and i don't know what that tells you but they are at a turning point and there's been a lot of movement in the last hour or so. bc members filing into this closed-door g.o.p. conference

meeting where g.o.p. leadership is going to present to them what they have cooked up inside the speaker's office. there has been a variety of emotions walking and but congressman maria talk us was frustrated and felt like membership was completely left out. she doesn't know but they will present today. a lot of folks finding out details from the press, realty and optimistic about this. according to steve scalise, it is a good plan. let's take a look at the plan together. this is what they have come up with, they want to have three votes on three separate issues. the first is to fund the government and that would happen through a clean cr and basically continuation how the government is being funded right now. and disaster relief for the states hit by hurricane helene and milton and those vulnerable states. then a poll farm aid. there would be no vote on a debt

ceiling. they will basically pump that to work out during reconciliation that would happen during the trump administration. however, here is that thane, john everyone is asking is the government going to shut down and this plan as he understands it right now will be voted through the rules committee. that means they will be a lower threshold for the boats with a simple majority that would cut out the need for democrat votes. but it is a slower process, john, so they would not be voting before midnight. we are looking at a possible many shut down ahead. remember, this all comes because johnson tried to do what trump wanted him to do and put something on the floor attached to a debt ceiling issue that wound up a poison pill 38 house republicans but trump and booked the speaker and voted no. we are just waiting to see if the g.o.p. conference is on

board and will they all agree and will this go through the rules committee and will they be able to pass this perhaps after midnight tonight. we will find out soon when they break, john appeared. >> john: good to have you on the case, aishah, shaman. >> shannon: president-elect trump influencing physicians on capitol hill before he steps into the oval office for a second time. he is now threatening the primary of texas congressman chip roy after spinning fill voted down on the house and peter doocy has more on this, hey, peter. >> it seems like the president-elect trump's influence greater than transition even though we see him less then the first transition. as you mentioned, hoping to keep in line with lines like this, chip roy is another ambitious guy with no talent. by the way how is bob good doing? i hope challengers getting ready in the great state of texas to

go after chip and the primary. he won't have a chance. the president-elect trump is blessing a shutdown saying, "if a shutdown, let it begin under the biden administration and not after january 20th after trump. this is a problem to solve and they will help if they can. the bipartisan deal to fund the government until the last minute and his words were like an exploding grenade or as his press secretary karoline leavitt is putting as soon as president trump on a stand cr, republicans on capitol hill echoed his point of view. president trump is the leader of the republican party full's. they are hoping to taunt what is undue influence from the unelected elon musk. >> i'm shocked by this speed which donald trump has seated control to elon musk. this is a real crisis in my mind

for donald trump. is the president right now? it was going to be the president or who is the president-elect and he was going to be the president come in a year? i don't know who we negotiate with. or are foul early negotiating with the president and mike johnson up a speaker anymore? >> the fact that donald trump will be the president in january and he has a lot of political capital but not unlimited and the 38 republicans who voted against the spinning pill last night, shannon. >> shannon: peter doocy coach i think is much, john, over to you. >> john: we will talk with chip roy in the next hour. "wall street journal" editorial and writer for george w. bush and fox news contributor. here is what karine jean-pierre said about the failure of the cp are. >> you need a bipartisan agreement there was land but they did not move forward because what they were told by

president-elect trump and also elon musk. >> john: she is blaming trump and elon musk but when you take a look at the bill it was christmas tree that up with many cases of bacon that even a pig would have been embarrassed by it. >> yeah, that is right, john. but the the problem is the republicans have to get their priorities and they want to keep government going. two i think the thing that blew up the trump deal with the debt ceiling. the 38 republicans, pretty much a provision they were proposing. the problem is when you let it come down to last-minute, you give democrats more leverage to get more spinning. but i agree with pork laden and we shouldn't do debt ceiling is like this. my worry is it will get worse. to get democratic votes, we give them more power. to the republicans to be united. sometimes being united means

choosing the lesser evil over greater good. and i think they don't really know what the strategy is here. >> john: we will find out as this meeting unfolds going on capitol hill right now. as you pointed out, trump supported the skinny bill yesterday and he was really enthusiastic about the probation to not eliminate the debt ceiling or at least spend it as long as second term and in his presidency. this is what he tweeted out last night, "success in washington. the speaker in the house a very good deal for the people and the democrats should do what is best for the country and vote yes for this build tonight." 38 republicans voted against it. is the freedom caucus and others and the republican party really drawing a line between the legislative and executive branch? >> look, it is a controversial thing. i think what donald trump wants knows it will be a fight about

the debt ceiling. he would rather that fight be over before it he becomes president. he would rather not be distracted by the fight. that you have a problem with 38 republicans that don't agree with him. so i think they asked too much on that. i imagine that the skinny deal without the debt ceiling probably would have been approved. again, what i am worried about is painting to strike a pose against spending. i'm worried about actual spending increases and more of them by this because to get democrats to sign on, we have to give them more and more. >> john: let's talk about the elon musk effect for a second because wednesday, he was all over x saying this bill should not pass. anybody on the republican side who supported it should be primary. and then all of a sudden, the bill is dead and trump did way and too.

it reminds me of alvin brooks and i say it in here and it comes out there. how much power does elon musk have over congress? >> he has a lot of power in terms of influence and so forth. but he a big loss. you know when pass is on the bill. but is not unlimited. obviously donald trump values his opinion. he is a sharp buy and will contribute to the president in november. but this idea and the problem in congress is inherent to legislatures to pass things, you have to persuade the majority to your point of view. you cannot just bully and threaten him. clearly those 38 new -- they were incurring donald trump's wrath, but they seem to not be worried about that. may be they are more worried about their own constituents. i don't know.

>> john: well, they'll have to worry about the constituents in two years. they will have to worry about donald trump in 29 days. bell, good to spend time with you and i hope you have a good christmas. >> you too, john periods payment how much power does elon musk weald? he is impotent but not so much. >> shannon: it is interesting to me the democrats using this language elon musk is the most powerful man in washington knowing that we'll get under president-elect trump's camp heading those two against each other but they seem joined at the hip. just be when trump knows musk is an effective foil for him and he will use him as much as possible. >> shannon: may be a little good cop/bad cop. the governor of today's "new york post" reads welcome back blogger is a suspect accused of killing health united health care ceo. what are we learning about the

case now? plus this. >> we will get the total initiative relative to what we will do with more border patrol and more offers. >> president trump? i don't know what he said at the end of the sentence and i don't think he knows what he said either periods we debate that ended president biden's reelection campaign. now the report that links the white house went to to hide the president's apparent decline from everyone. karl rove weighs in on this and he is coming up next.

, deputy chief house of staff, karl rove, always good to see you. >> good to see you, shannon. >> shannon: let me read from the headline, one of the quote say there were limits who biden spoke within limits what they said to him and limits around the sources of information. karl, you worked and the white house and had that this this rate he is somebody not having meetings with cabinet members of his own cabinet? >> this is gary. this reminds me of what we knew about woodrow wilson that only in retrospect. here was a guy who suffered a major stroke and unable to perform functions of the office of presidency. his wife dictated what the public knew and what went on inside the white house. and we have here a picture -- this is a scary, very disturbing picture of people who knew that joe biden was not up to the job

of being president and who systematically added that from the american people and then lied about it to the american people. the list of people who were in the white house proclaimed him to be absolutely at the top of his game, we should remember all of those people because they were lying to us. the idea that he was going to run for reelection, i have a theory about all of this which is joe biden was surrounded by people who were not strong, effective aids that former senate aides and people who had been with him for a long time, not like a governor where you have people walk in and say you are not looking so pretty today, mr. governor or madam governor. that people senate aides whose job is -- the senator makes the decisions in combination with members of the committees they are on and members of the democratic congress. your job is to sell it back to the people at home and helped organize the date the life of the day of the senator. they are not people whose object

is to say, "mr. president, with all due respect, you are not up to this job." they were listening to joe biden and valerie who plays a big decision in the political decisions. joe will run again and make it happen instead of saying, "mr. president you are not up to this." they facilitated a charade to periods beta that is the most shocking things because the people close in my closest to him new with the ability to function and we are told he has good days and bad days and we ce things and cancel things move things around but somebody commander in chief, every day has to be a pretty good day. to get into this term is one thing but as you mentioned those around him who were saying he is he is vibrant and we can barely keep up with him and he's going to run another four years, what is your message to them in the messaging given to the best of us? >> shame on you joe shame on you. you owed it to the country ago

you owed it to him, and you owed it to your party. people like david axelrod and james carville raising questions about his fitness to run for office a year and a half before the election, joe biden had leaked to the major newspapers and ugly comment about david axelrod because david axelrod raised questions about his fitness. these people were being selfish starting with the president, his wife and his sister and close aides, they were involved in something bad for the country and bad for the democratic party and bad for the office of the presidency and bad for our country in a dangerous time where great challenges wait on us abroad to. it was not up to it. the scary thing is one of my favorite quotes out of the article, every time he went into the situation room, he was at the top of his game. no, he wasn't. he might have had a better moment in the situation room

that a previous or the day after, but the i did this man was capable of serving president of the united states during this dangerous time is ridiculous and the idea able to run for an elected to serve another four years as we now know just underl. these people facilitated that fiction for months and months and months to the detriment of their party and more importantly, to the detriment of the country. >> shannon: it doesn't say he was directly involved right now with funding the government and finding a solution to that. you heard the press secretary say repeatedly if he was engaging with the speaker anything else and this is the republicans problem and they created and have to solve it but no indication he is part of the conversations at all. >> foul what we are seeing is president-elect trump and elon musk and the speakers witha tiny majority trying to get soms told us in the voter analysis coming out of the election.

had they want massive change in people we are seeing right now. 83% of those who want total or a substantial total people. i see the headlines already today, trump's chaos is back. what you make this in the context of getting the government funded by midnight tonight question what. >> a couple of things, there are realities here appeared to republicans who never voted for and never will vote for continuing resolution that doesn't include substantial spending cuts. it's not just the 38 who voted no yesterdays measure. i think others said sustained. they are sound that will never raise the debt ceiling without significant offsets. if you have what is being asked for, which is continuing resolution farm bill, disaster, the bell voted on today, there will be people the republican caucus to say i can't vote for this and i never have and

never will. threats won't necessarily move them. it may move some of them that you have as narrow majority has this, you have 47 members of the house behind their name with a r abstained or voted against this, you have a problem. you have to sit down and work it out with the democrats or skinny it up and simply do something that can get you to next march. that will be awfully tough to do with the the votes in the republican tab today. >> shannon: we wait minute to minute to find out what the next move is. if i don't see you merry christmas and a happy new year. i always appreciate you. >> same to you, always the best. >> shannon: you heard the options and do you sit down and make a deal with democrats and does that cost speaker johnson? stay when i feel like bill murray, has a bent groundhog day? john mayer was dealing with the step ten years ago. you have faction in the republican party that says no

more spending. and you have speaker at the house who is trying to make a deal for the government will shut down. but just the lawmakers are so addicted to spending, spending taxpayer money like it is water that they can never seem to come to an agreement to stop spending so much. that is why the members of the g.o.p. freedom caucus in a couple of others have their heels dug into say enough. the national deal is $30 trillion on how high will this go quick mark. >> shannon: it may cost and primary challenge if they stick to that voting mantra. but who knows it could be a completely different situation than an hour. >> john: i'm not sure how big of a threat that is because they were elected to their seats in congress because constituents like their position. they are being true to constituents. i'm not sure a primary challenge is a big threat to them. spspeed to three years as a long ways away. >> john: including this
