5:03 am
napping and the numbers are not there for the speaker. i republicans are entering into congress with a slim majority. we talk about all the time the numbers 219-215 and all democrats to vote for leader hakeem jeffries. they will not vote for mike johnson which means he can only afford to lose one republican. right now there is one republican official no vote, that is thomas massie. multiple undecided voters and people who don't want to say how they are voting until they vote actually takes place. joe johnson walked me through what is going on yesterday. watch. >> one day before the election, why are you so excited? people talking through process changes they want and i'm open to that and i think tomorrow will go well. >> johnson has the meeting privately with holdouts one-on-one. that is what we will have to watch closely what kind of changes he agreed to perhaps on
5:04 am
the house rules and perhaps committee assignments. yesterday basically came out saying johnson could secure the vote in one single round is to commit to making chip roy a holdout. the chairman of the powerful rules committee and that set a lot of moderates, 200 members would have something to say about that. according to axios morning johnson to not make any promises he cannot keep. don't wind up doing what kevin mccarthy did. the overall since i'm getting foot with talking with lawmakers privately is that we will not see kevin mccarthy 15 rounds today but this will get wrapped up very quickly. here are what the members are saying today. >> what we want to see 119th congress is not what happened in the last two years have 118th. he's got to make the case and hopefully mike will. >> i will make a decision
5:05 am
tomorrow but beyond the speaker will discuss some things. a lot of things we have great. i'm positive positively planning for mike johnson. i agree with ronny jackson i will vote for mike johnson and i think it will be wrapped up quickly. >> remember mike johnson has the biggest endorsement at all from president-elect trump, who is calling on this to be taken care of quickly. we also got the endorsement marjorie greene taylor who last year tried to oust him. he is writing into this with momentum that we have a bunch of undecided that will not say how they will vote until the vote actually begins. >> lawrence: so, i'm getting the sense most undecided around the freedom caucus, right? >> they are. these are hard liner conservatives. people who have bigs and you don't have to call it big ask that people who want a good budget. they want appropriation bills to
5:06 am
come back, regular order. this is an ask, lawrence, we hear every single time. it was an ask of michael mccarthy and the problem is these promises are never filled. we don't see regular order but we see crs over and over again which we will have to face again in a couple of months. >> brian: quick question, did the republicans realize how embarrassing it was when they went through those five rounds and how humiliating it was for the country and embarrassing globally we could not speak pick a speaker for those five weeks? these are the same people holding out last time. >> remember the first time kevin mccarthy at the was frozen five days and then again for three weeks and around that time, that is when israel was attacked by hamas. there were things happening
5:07 am
around the world to require the house to take action on the floor. we are entering into the new administration and president-elect trump and mar-a-lago and has a lot of things he wants to take care of day one. not to mention they have to certify the election january 6. they cannot do that if there is no house. the house cannot function without a speaker. in a few hours, there was no speaker mike johnson and there will be nobody to get the house's worked on until the republicans come together. they all have to come together because democrats will not be helping them today. >> brian: is there somebody else trying to get it behind the scenes? >> not that we are aware of. you will remember names like jim jordan, steve scalise both interested but they have not publicly found their hats into the ring and we are not hearing backdoor deals as well. people want to move forward and they are coalescing around
5:08 am
speaker mike johnson. somebody put it this way you can't vote against him if nobody else to vote for. we'll be see certain people nominate when they go on to the house for? can we see some names thrown out there like elon musk, perhaps, donald trump? who knows? maybe, but i have a hard time believing that because mike johnson actually reaching out to these holdouts right now. i would imagine even right up until the vote happens to make sure he can get this done in the first round. they don't want the embarrassment of having to did this round after round of. >> lawrence: many agree with the spirit of the debate of regular order, by the lacks strategy in the long run. that is the problem with it and aishah hasnie reporting on capitol hill. >> emily: it lacks strategy. we have been talking all morning for the purpose is to legislate and you can't get anything done without ritual and this is not
5:09 am
the time to demonstrate petulance or some type of power over will be speaker elect in a couple of hours. the reality is we are depending on you to get to work. we talked about acknowledging mta mandate the american people levied on this particular congress, government, refreshing new insight we need new breath of fresh air we need. yes that is cutting spending but not in the form of again pregame ritual that will only hamstring everyone we are depending on to get that legislative agenda past after today. >> lawrence: we will see. we will be following it. to another fox news alert, classifying new orleans attack that can 14 people is an act of terrorism. speak to this as we learn the isis suspect to radicalization. garrett tenney what he is learning on the ground, garrett. >> good morning that path to radicalization is a big focus
5:10 am
for investigators going forward and as you mentioned new details about the suspect from his family. his brother, the brother of shamsud-din jabbar told fox news for years the u.s. army veteran had been trying to find himself looking for some one to guide ge him and why he impart joint the military appear to the whole family grew up muslim that he took a step away from religion in his 20s and more recently got back into his face after his second divorce. to the fbi has released new surveillance videos showing jabbar hours leading up to the effect walking through the french quarter placing two coolers with ieds inside he planned to detonate during the massacre. investigators did find bomb-making materials at a nearby therapy in the where the suspect was saying they now believe he did in fact act alone and did not have any accomplice.
5:11 am
too many innocent victims killed in the attack and 35 injured first and foremost, let me be clear about this point. this was an act of terrorism. it was and an evil act. >> back here on bourbon street which is open, officials have installed new barriers. l-shaped barriers on the sidewalks at the entrance from canalis in street these barrios would have stopped jabbar driving around the police car and barreled down bourbon street here. when the city's police chief asked yesterday where did these come from, she said, the city had them and has had them. she just didn't know about it until the last couple of days after the attack happened. this will be a point of roaming criticism of city officials they did not do enough to secure the area of head of new year's eve
5:12 am
in new orleans. particularly with the super bowl coming to town next month followed by mardi gras a month after that. >> brian: so garrett we heard right away the police chief and superintendent come out and say, we had a plan. heb era plan. now we find out, oh, i didn't know i have this equipment to stop would-be attacker. their honesty is embarrassing. >> there has been a lot of back and forth and part of that will criticism new barrier systems installed back in 2016. report commissioned by the city and consulting firm for the barriers around the french quarter explicitly said to the city, do not rely solely on these folders along the sidewalk. the city introduced other devices and plans and features as well to make sure nothing like this happens. that was 2017. eight years later now, we see this happen and we see the
5:13 am
security failures have not having these devices in place that could have stopped it from happening. >> lawrence: unbelievable, great job, garrett. when you look at it and this is why outrage yesterday about the faith very lap. yes, i applied the two officers who neutralize the subject but the people in leadership did not follow the proper procedures to keep the people safe. how do you not have barriers on the sidewalk? they were paying for the super bowl as it bourbon street is not packed every night. that it is full of people all the time and will always be a target and not just exclusive to fa ball game or super bowl. you should always have those measures put in place and have the chief say i didn't know we have it? that is a viable offense to me and she should not have the job. >> emily: there is nothing worse learning your tax dollars have been squandered.
5:14 am
we have covered repeater late the city has done a great job of squandering all with stewardship but when you realize 14 tenths, 14 murders were preventable so simply preventable. to protect against drunk driving and those drivers who are sick and a million things they can protect against but it doesn't have to be specific and horrid purpose at islamic extremism. there is no excuse for that and a viable offense. to the voters should rise up and demand better from the city leaders. this is a massive city about to host the super bowl. >> brian: lieutenant governor, and the mayor has also been investigated for corruption indictments coming. she hangs out with her bodyguard boyfriend and evidently shack up with him. he has been indicted. she uses a lot of the budgeted travel to conferences she has no business going to. so why she is still in office
5:15 am
and that is why the offices, the riots have hurt every police precinct. but they really disrupted new orleans where i tell you a couple of years ago -- >> lawrence: murder capital. they didn't have enough staff and it was a murder capital. we did a ton of reports on fox and i was there multiple times covering the chaos. the cops feel like they have no type of support, even those citizens gunned down every single day. there needs to be a police investigation. that is exactly right. >> emily: americans need to know they can be safe being americans and that includes sporting events and gathering, exactly, no circumvention of that because law enforcement is hamstrung because of corrupt city leaders. that is exactly what we see a a full minute and pastoring since the decisions in the wake of george floyd riots did nothing to protect the only virtual signaling and of course coupled with an administration
5:16 am
that to acknowledge extremism even exists coming from exile islamic side of the world to. it should have been better ten exploring catholic churches. that should be aware that stewart and goes. >> brian: they delayed the game 24 hours and i'm talking the sugar bowl one of the quarterfinals of the brand-new playoff system. the sugar bowl instead of one game off, a playoff. people are motivated to come to town. watching a ceremonial game to cap off the season. they are looking at playoff games so that place was packed despite the terrorist attack and ventilate until back to work. here was the chant after the moment of silence. listen. [chanting] >> lawrence: pretty cool. that is what we do after tragedy. we often come together as a
5:17 am
country. just to see the crowd to that, i think it was a fight. gsa against the enemy even though this guy a homegrown terrorist, this was an attack on our republic. he described to radical islam. the american people that were there to pledge allegiance to that flag all came together last night despite the victims just now starting the mourning process. >> e speed to what i look forward to enter the next four years, this patriotism that we see not the wake of tragedy but in the wake of law enforcement, at deterrence have these kind of isis-inspired terroristic threats and not on our soil anymore because we actually have a commander in chief with a vertebrae. that is what i look forward to. i had the honor of speaking with cam jordan earlier this hour in the 7:00 a.m. hour and the new orleans defensive and mick made an incredible donation to the victims find of horrific
5:18 am
terrorist attack. $25,000 inspiring the owner of the saints to contribute $1.25 million. this is what he had to say. watch. >> blessed to be in a position where i can go ahead and get back. when i think about the tragedy that happened on new year's eve, new year's day on bourbon street when you know people are trying to celebrate and have a good time, that stays at home. that is our city for as long as i have been here. i feel like i am a part of the city and i make it known i love this place from the highs and the lows. when it comes to something like this coach i want to give back and make sure it was down the right way and make sure these victims will be helped. the greater new orleans fund has clearly opened up a fund to do so. >> brian: not just the 14 who died but many others wounded. you see some of the video and an eighth of an mansion able to go against the wall, which is
5:19 am
being plowed under. 18 minutes after the hour, breaking news in new york city where a woman arrested and charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing an on-duty postal worker to death. get the story, the victims last multiple times inside a harlem daily in the afternoon. he died in the hospital. the police at the attack happened after the suspect and victim got into a fight over whether the postman cut her in line. so she killed him over a sandwich. insane! just in moments ago president biden blocking the nippon steel $14 billion bid for u.s. steel. we need u.s. major companies representing major share of u.s. steelmaking capacity to keep leading the fight on behalf of america's national interest. the new canadian foreign investment spent months with the bid for security risk to refer the decision to biden.

5:21 am
like completion of security reports, security forms that impact impart impacted bowling and remember international safety and security forms being falsely completed? the reality is the reason boeing focused on profits over quality and safety all these years is squeezed by regulatory impairment in an environment that incentivized foreign growth over american growth. the next four years, hopefully that will alleviate the pressure because most importantly we want americans to be safe and prosper. >> lawrence: they need to go back to fundamentals. one of the cases, they did not screw the knobs on the door. come on! this is like basic stuff. this is going into the air. how could you be so reckless? it looks like they need to get back to some fundamental doing your job. that takes leadership. we will see. >> brian: only company that rifles them as they are best so it is those two.

5:28 am
mike johnson has worked his tail up as speaker and i hope he gets reelected today. i think he will. the main reason, november 5th the american people said secure the border, bring down prices, bring down crime and stop weaponization of the government, we the people. the best way to do that is to come together today and unite behind speaker johnson and work with president-elect trump to do what the people elected us to do. i think it will. >> brian: i've got bad news, congressman bob goodman tweeted out he will not be voting for mike johnson. >> well, remember, mike bob good has left so i don't -- maybe some other name but bob good -- >> brian: can we check that? bob good that close primary and the virginia seed. john mcguire is the new member there and john will be voting
5:29 am
for mike johnson for speaker. so, i think it is still just thomas massie indicating he will not support the speaker. i am hopeful everyone else will. >> brian: good point he has not there anymore so i should not point that out so my bad he put that out evidently. you look at mike johnson what happened a couple of weeks ago elon musk 4:15 a.m. in the morning i don't like this bill and donald trump says, "i don't like it either." you are an athlete. you have to learn during the preseason how to correct the mistakes during the regular season. to you sense and you are very tight with the future president, do you sense there will be a communication all around? >> the biggest adjustment today at 53 republican senators. that is the biggest change and two weeks the president trump in the white house. so the team is different and i said a couple of weeks ago we were going through that. that the next thing is to get
5:30 am
this into next year because that calvary is coming over the hill. 53 republican senators in the united states and donald trump in the white house. that will change the dynamic. can we make it way too complicated but it's pretty darn simple. what did you tell the voters what you would do? go do what you said appeared to have the best way to what they elected us to do is come together and we have this reconciliation which is a fancy way to say you get to avoid 60 vote hurtle in the senate and deal with republican votes. let's get after that as quickly as possible and do what the american people elected us to do. let's vote mike johnson as speaker and work with president trump in two weeks and 53 republican senators to be absent and do what the american people we told them we would do. but is not rocket science. that is what today's vote about is in my mind. >> brian: march will be another short term situation but educate me, chairman, why can't we get 11 or 12 appropriations
5:31 am
bill through committee and regular order? something would be rewarded with the senate when you have the majority. could you see after march going through a regular order? >> i hope so for this next budget year. but the problem has been the senate because we passed a number of appropriation bills and today, the last congress passed zero, zero! so the problem is there. it is why we use this process called reconciliation so you don't have to deal with chuck schumer and the democrats in the senate but you can do it with republicans. that is the mandate people sat november 5th. but it's what we have to focus on and whether to reconciliation boats or one, i am indifferent to the tactics. all i know lead us get it done asap because that is what the american people told us to do on november 5th. >> brian: democrats go to bed do republicans understand the freedom caucus and charter member and do they understand
5:32 am
sometimes you have to compromise? i hope so and i think so. there have been occasions where freedom caucus has done that. i certainly think -- i said this two years ago on this day when we have the same dynamic unfolding within speaker mccarthy. i said any differences in the republican party pale, pale in comparison to the differences between republicans and radical left which unfortunately controls the democratic party. we have to compromise has republicans and come together to accomplish again what we told the american people we were going to do. >> brian: it will be an exciting time for republicans in washington officially january 20th. but it is already starting today so we will see. congressman chair jim jordan, think is much. president-elect trump vows to make erica safe again with security threats out there and his plans are next.
