elana musk and former presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy. some maga supporters opposed opposetrumps to appointee for ai advisor. they say he is at two in favor of the controversial visas which historically allow highly skilled foreign workers easy access into the united states. quickly using the program to abuse it, to recruit interns, accountants, other people easily could be recruited from the united states of america all because you want to do it cheaper, that is not fine. >> musk's online saying he will quote go to war defending the h1b visas. he said he is in this country because of one of those visas therefore we have tesla and x here in the united states. you go at x right now you see musk is using fiery words in defense of those visas. rich, molly question. molly: he sure is matt, thank you. molly: house speaker mike johnson at risk of losing his

gavel as he faces pushback from both sides of the aisle. all eyes and now on president-elect trump johnson's allies and call him support madeleine rivera is with the latest for us. president-elect trump input could make or break house speaker mike johnson's prospects. he set to be frustrated with johnson after last week's spending fight. electing speaker of the house first order of business connie's mongers convenes without the hohouse is paralyzed it cannot pass legislation f or swear new members. the electric of the electoral college results on january 6. johnson's allies say a battle over the gavel will only undermine gop's goals to enact trump's agenda. there are also questions over who could replace johnson who is already survived with democrats and ousted bid earlier this year. >> again and it's not clear who else would be in the waiting there.

remember, we went through this. all of the major players and basically had their heads chopped off. it's not obvious to meet johnson's on a bad job it's obvious to me it's on the best job he can given the circumstances. he keeps a level head. >> johnson needs 218 votes to keep his role. congress begins next year 219 house republicans 215 house democrats. he could only afford to lose one republican vote. republican congressman thomas massie has already said he won't be back in johnson. there are several other gop members who say they are keeping their options (these include congressman eddie harris, scott perry and tim burchett. they went to cut spending are not happy with the way johnson handled the fight to keep the government open. >> we cannot just have a making the deals with hakeem jeffries the deals have to make the republican conference that's not what we saw in the last two weeks. >> and of house republicans i don't to raise their concerns

with johnson make sure they are addressed ahead of next week's speaker vote. molly: ill be a very interesting january. madeleine rivera in washington thank you. rich: for more on house leadership fight let's bring in georgia congressman buddy carter. he's a member of house budget committee pay thank you for joining us this afternoon. there seem to be some republicans who may not be on board with another term for speaker johnson. take a listen to this. >> i think mike h is done at admiral job under tough conditions i'm going to keep my options open. i want to have a conversation with mike. i do not know where this is going right now. with thomas massie already sank is a hard know, people like victoria sparks saying they are likely a know is concerning. we have just got to make sure we get the best person for the job, under the circumstances. >> of anything congressman's congress can start out with a note ano and other protracted

speakers fight? >> instantly hope not. want to be perfectly clear i fully support mike johnson. he is done as good a job as anyone could have done with the cards he has been dealt and who else is going to do it? this is ridiculous. we've been given a mandate by the american people. president trump is been given a mandate the first 100 days are going to be extremely important. we do not need a protracted speakers race, certainly not like we had two years ago. that's going to throw a kink into everything we are trying to do. i would be remiss as incoming chair of the house subcommittee if i did not mention we've got a number of healthcare programs and backing children, mothers and does need to be addressed immediately. >> this is on top of, there's a government funding bill on the table finally got one thrown the finish line. but that expires pretty early in the new congress. all of these things are sort of backing up the housekeeping you have to do like to elect a speaker from the government. that pushes every thing off,

right? >> it does push everything off. that's the last thing we need right now. then you have the debt ceiling coming up. we do not need this kind of chaos that's going to interrupt us. what is to be doing. >> or some criticism as part of this republicans needed to be able to negotiate with themselves and not just democrats here. when they have controlled the house and outstanding government funding bills that just have not been passed. with such narrow margins. unity appears to be more important than ever. do you think you are going to have it going into this congress? >> i think when it comes down to it we will be together. i have to believe that. look, all of us want to cut spending pay that is why we are so excited and about the

opportunity that presents to all of us. every american right now hose wondered thousand dollars. we've got to get that under control. we understand that. but until we address non- discretionary spending that is so security, medicaid and medicare we are never going to get her debt under control. >> and like to mention that. there are a number of people out there who were saying we can't focus on that side of the budget. there is really no way you can get to anywhere close to a balanced budget without touching that, right? >> absolutely. and listen it would be political suicide if one party tried to do it without the other party's cooperation. this is got to be bipartisan. both parties have to understand it's for the good of the country that we do this. we need to save social security print not cut it, not raise taxes but save it. that is what we need to do. we need to address medicaid and medicare and again that's going

to be were my big focus is, as incoming chair of the house subcommittee. what we do with the fastest growing area in our budget, medicare because of an aging population. rich: you are part of the caucus on capitol hill in the house. what happens from your perspective on h1b visas these are high-tech workers who come skilled workers to come into the united states a big fight between mosk and vivek ramaswamy and that maga base we heard that a couple of minutes ago. where are you on all this to be need to expand this visa so should americans be filling the straps? >> well if we had americans i could fill those jobs, that will be great. i am looking at a situation where we don't have a lot of americans who are willing to fill those jobs who are capable of filling those jobs. we should not rule anything out. obviously, with the american people said if you got to secure the border you've got to do something about the people who were already in here illegally paid we all understand that.

we want to do something about it. but, less to in a smart way let's not cut off our nose and spider face. >> you look at doge and the leaders there. relationships between billionaires, are not as as of the most enduring things on planet earth. but president-elect really enduring through a four-year term. >> i don't have any experience with relationships of billionaires i am not one. but yes obviously there big egos here when you have the egos is very, very excited about elon and vivek both. our first meeting was excellent. an opportunity to address the

small businessman for 32 years there are two things you have to have you have to be there by excellent customer service, and you have to have fiscal responsibility. i will submit to you the federal government has neither of those. when you look at doge what would you recommend. there's a lot of throwing stuff at the wall different topics if you had one recommendation what would it be? >> it would be to address the united states postal service where i was a local reporter not too long ago. actually was a very long ago thank you for joining us much appreciated. her expression president is apologizing to his counterpart in azerbaijani for tragic incident the christmas drape crash of a azerbaijani plane. he stopped short of taking responsibility for those killed

judge ruled the biden administration can no longer sell off parts of unused border wall. a present electron celebrating the judge's decision posting to truth social quote in a major crucial win for america, our national security, a federal judge in texas based on papers we file just a few days ago has prohibited the biting ministration from selling any materials designated from the border wall. tom home and present electron's incoming borders are reacted after this this news earlier today. >> right now i think we've got them stopped. what's insulting they wo were fr years just people retake control to selling main piece of our plan to secure the border. >> texas attorney general ken paxton awaiting" we have successfully blocked the biden administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before president trump takes office. paxton also also says at the buy

for giving us a little bit of your time on the custom of 2025 greatly present your insights. >> thanks for having me on. >> i want to start with there are a number of political leaders all across the country promising to trump proof or pushback on the trump plans which are have yet to be formalized completely. we are not sure how mass deportations will happen. what do you think will happen in california as the pushback is underway? and you have any predictions? >> i think there will be some cities, some parts of the state that will continue to try to be sanctuaries. i would also urge leaders in california to work with the incoming administration where we can. the voters spoke and what border security. so, are there places where we can slow down the incoming tide of folks that are asylum-seekers et cetera? are there smart policies we can do? we need farmworkers but we've been able to do stuff in a bipartisan way.

food work within chemic administration we g got to do ts well. >> out to touch on it for a quick second there are major concerns about the farmworkers that could potentially fall victim to some of the deportation plans is that a major concern that you have? >> very much so. california is a leading agricultural state in the country. we need those workers. our farmers need those workers. so we have had bipartisan legislation to modernize farmworkers. give folks the ability to work and then you see the discussion must going on with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy about high skill workers. if we are educating these folks, given that phd's and degrees we ought to want them to stay here so we ought to fix the visa program as well. molly: shifting back to the key topic we are talking about as potential policies, potential actions, potential money being spent to pu the pushback againse trump plans.

it dug into a potentially could be coming down the pipeline here, a draft of the plant obtained by politico proposes the creation of an immigrant support network comprised of regional hubs to connect at-risk individuals, the families and communities with community systems such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments et cetera. it's one of the first indications of how major blue state is thinking of ways to impose the trump administration on immigration as democratic leaders struggled to find the footing on this pivotal electoral issue. the question i have is also about costs. their major efforts underway to get ahead of any potential potentially and massively fund a legal pushback. your thoughts on the money being spent the plans it appeared to be getting underway? the cost of $100 billion that's a lot of money.

let's figure how to get together if you think about tom homer and he is coming and his work in the obama administration and president obama was criticized. he actually deported close to 3 million individuals folks think about immigration slightly differently as an economic issue. you might find work with republicans if they don't go too far. i'm cute mention perhaps you've listen to the voters california on the first year of the trump administration sued about 100 times potentially costing over what the trump administration.

for the voters behind that and any way do you anticipate some pushback? >> it should be some pushback. i would say listen to the voters in this last election. they clearly exp expressed concn about the border. can eiti can either get locked n the legal system, or we could try to come up with bipartisan solutions that secure our border but also have legal immigration and address things like the dreamers, these kids that have only known america. i think there is a deal to be had. we came pretty close with senator lankford and senator sinema and the last congress. so maybe to approach the second trump administration differently than we did the first time. molly: you won by a solid margin there in california. you seem to be listening to your constituents. if you had one more prediction to make the lawmakers in california that have the power to pushback, to the trump

proofing that some of them have promised. is there some part of that where you can see collaboration happening? >> maybe around the farmworkers critical to california's economy. maybe there's a way to work together on that. i would also say california's border has challenges as well. drug cartels et cetera share a big border with mexico. maybe there are places to work to that would be a wonderful place to start. congressman trent to thank you very much and they give are joining us. >> thank you, happy new year. sue for the sports world is mourning the loss of a tv legend greg gumbel has passed away after a fight with cancer but he was a familiar face and voice to nfl ncaa final four fans as announcement studio host for cbs, nbc and espn. 2001 he became the first african-american to do play-by-play on the super bowl. he survived by his wife marcy, got it michelle's brother and

molly: illegal immigrant from guatemala inside of the deadly burning of a woman on the new york city subway. this comes as the nypd investigates how a homeless man came to be on fire last night one of the business train stations in manhattan. we have seen the cotton here joining us with more on this. >> is a lot of unanswered questions about this most recent incident including how did the fire start? we do know the man is in critical condition was serious burns to his legs and body. like the woman killed after she set on fire last week of this man appears to be homeless as well. officers from the end badly burned at around 8:00 p.m. last night he told police he was asleep woke up on fire according to the near poster.

>> on capitol hill this week house democrats miss what i would consider big opportunity. they passed over congresswoman aoc for the top democratic spot on the oversight committee. and said they chose congressman conley a much older member who is backed by speaker emerita nancy pelosi. this felt like an obvious chance to apply some of the lessons we should have learned from the november election, right? and said to him gets passed over one of the youngest most savvy members of congress for a key insight public role. >> what you make of that? are the lessons from the elections a couple of months a ago, more media savvy candidates on the democrat side orders of the policy? >> i think it's a little bit of both. and with respect to jan i think the will of congress prevail. that's all we have elections that's why we elected jeffries, angular and catherine clark with art leaders along with our

assistant leaders and the house. you would not say the caucus iss not getting younger. i think the caucus prevailed it also does not mean aoc cannot still be a voice and hold republicans accountable on the oversight role committee. you do not have to have an elected role in the caucus. in this case ranking member in order to do your job and hold the other side accountable. as an opportunity for a number of younger members to display their talent. including one of our most younger members was elected as cochair of the democratic policy communications committee for florida. the caucus will eventually get to ultimately were some people think they need to be. this process requires a mix of maturity as well as experience as well as new energy into the process. rich: an ongoing conversation between whether the party needs it more at center circuit polled

more to the progressive way the progressives are making the argument they were not progressive enough and the national elections and that is what cost them. what do you think? >> i don't buy into that. people who came out and voted for the republicans who ultimately love the one the election because there are also progressive. think they voted for them because they have a message that resonated to meet them where they are. they also had issues that they were leaning in on that make sense to the voters. i am not saying that we should lean to the left or to the right. i do believe the country has proven to be a centerleft or center-right party. when given the election looking back at restaurant retrospect i focus on more than anything is saying united, working with republicans where it makes sense part holding them accountable along the way. but also making certain voters understand what we bring to the table. we cannot be a party of just being anti- trump or anti-

republican. we have to make the case. but also of what makes us different. two things happen in elections. i set on this network before, you win or you learn pretty ultimately do not lose. i think we still have some learning to do from the previous election. rich: building on that, do you think the party going into this congress where you have got the house, the senate and the white house all going to be repu republican, is this going to be an anti- trump type situation? or, do you think there is room will democrats work with republicans in the upcoming years? >> i think the american people expect democrats and republicans to work together. not just democrats working with republicans but also republicans working with democrats. i think this election prove that. i think where we cannot find common ground as we should find a higher ground with the american people for the sake of the american people. that does not mean we should let

republicans operate in a vacuum i'm trying to implement their extreme agenda that's clearly out of touch with americans on bread and butter every day kitchen table issues. the things republicans promise to the american people that they will be able to do many of them we know they cannot do. we need to hold them accountable but meet them where they are that requires others working with republicans to deliver results. rich: will see where it goes antjuan, thank you so much. molly: cdc reporting mutations in the first severe u.s. human case of bird flu. we will tell you what you need to know what that comment next appeared at least three firefighters and multiple train passengers are injured after a high-speed train crashed into a fire truck that happened earlier today and delray beach, florida. more details coming up.

backyard flock. and the animals from the flock did not test positive for the virus. it been at least 66 confirmed bird flu cases in humans in 10 states this year they are mostly mild cases. nearly all of them involve people who were infected after working on dairy or poultry farms. symptoms include mild fever, cough, headaches and fatigue. health officials warn people who drink raw milk could be at a higher risk of catching the virus from an infected animal. >> it might be a very good way to infect your self with a massive dose of h5n1 that could lead to severe or fatal disease pretty specially in child. >> also, some house cats at least 22 large cats at zoos and animal sanctuaries have died after contracting the bird flu part health officials trace a house cat illness and organ to a

this up. how concerned should we be about the bird flu? >> we need to monitor it. terms of the two cases at a very severe, the idea that when this virus gets into humans it can cause a severe illness, is not new. that's half of the cases we have seen since 2003 have died actually. what's actually new is the kind that's gotten into cattle is causing very mild disease. so that is a positive thing. we do not know what direction this will go in. the real direction the cdc is looking so closely at this is the flu virus mutate a lot. if they come into contact with other flu viruses, they can exchange material and that can move it in a direction where it goes human to human. molly, experiments were done that a lot of us are not thrilled with back in 2012 which show exactly the mutations that would be necessary for this to go easily human to human.

that gives us the ability to monitor this and figure out where we are. that university of minnesota is saying, look the one case had eight mutation that may make it easier to get into human along but it is not spreading it were not seeing it spread human to human. so, you can see that but n not e the outbreak that is the part that is reassuring. we are not there yet pick ax good to know people are also concerned about their pets part of the story also worth watching. shifting gears a little bit, this is from the wall street journal. as fertility rates fall, some scientists say everyday chemicals are a factor. now, there's a big push across the web, cross news to get these chemicals that are seemingly in everything from our food supply tour shampoos and our soaps out. and now we are seeing warnings this could be affecting future generations, your thoughts? >> sit in excellent article in the wall street journal. it fits with the attention rfk

junior is going to put on this. forever chemicals or substances are everywhere. they are in the water. they are in cooking. they are in cookware. and they are designed not to go away. they are called destructors for a reason and the sperm count across the world is down. we are seeing more and more policies to disease and things that interfere with fertility for women and fertility is going down, we also worry about bpa is about to be banned in the european union they are looking at really, really diminishing that and and scented products like perfumes. also i believe strongly there's something to this. i believe strongly there's a connection here the less we are exposed say it doesn't have and

can we work to get this all out to help future generations? loses looks is a great example n answer to that who took all this stuff out of her situation when she was not exposed to in two years later got pregnant for the first time. i think if we move fast on this and really, really push on this and the fda is involved in again it kennedy is involved we can make a big difference right away but now is the time to do it. molly: marc siegel 2025 thank you very much looking for to great and healthy new year. we wish you one as well. thank you. >> happy new year, good to see you. molly: happy new year, rich? we will be right back ♪ ♪
