and i would talk to fred upton. he said that he believes that the american public spoke in these midterm elections and they want members of congress, who have bipartisan interests and are able to get things tone. he, just like you and me, were watching yesterday unfold. he said republicans were put into power. yet everybody is watching them not get anything done. they can't even pick their own leader. >> mark, let me turn to you on the trump of it all. you have been in touch with sources in trump world. talk us through the thinking of who he maybe wanting to talk to here on capitol hill. >> he's talking to everyone. everybody called donald trump and he called everyone back. that's what donald trump likes. he's at the center of the action. what's interesting is what he told garrett haake. we'll see what happens. it looks like he was backing off. is and almost everyone in trump world who knows anything about trump know this is only so long he wants to stick by kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy is not maga. so eventually,

, will you vote for fred upton. >> fred upton won't do any of these things either.of washington, d.c. fight the left and quit ending up with everything the left wants after people spend their hard earned money supporting republican candidates and being disappointed time and time again. we wouldn't be having this conversation right now if i was in the senate and we just voted for mitch mcconnell. you would say what's wrong with these people. don't you understand you keep getting the same thing? you're doing the same thing. well, doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes is the definition of insanity. we're trying to stop the insanity. >> steve: i have heard that expression. congressman, i have heard from people at the house freedom caucus that they like two names out there, steve scalise and donald trump. >> well, i'm sure we do like it but i don't think they are the right people for speaker. they may be, but we should have a conversation. but here we are at this very moment because the one guy that could make all the difference refuses to make any of the

and that's the fred upton scenario, but i don't know that it has to be fred upton. in the house. you could look to a tom cole of oklahoma. whoever that unity candidate would be is going to have to be almost universally respected by republicans, 150-plus republican votes and hakeem jeffries could let his members vote. but democrats don't need to do that now, we're a long ways for that, we're talking something into next week or the following week before we end up in that scenario. >> and david laid out one part of that, democrats would have to negotiate with republicans. republicans would have to give something to democrats. i think that's why that's unlikely to happen. if republicans started giving democrats things, that would set the house republican congress on fire. there would be almost nobody willing to vote for somebody in that scenario. >> stay with us. vaughn hillyard, we should your service, my friend. you have more to do this afternoon. we'll talk again. appreciate it. >>> we've talked about these various factions of the republican party that may or may not

but one of the possibilities floated was fred upton a republican who was retired. a moderate republican. what if fred upton, because you don't have to be a member of congress to become speaker, became some sort of compromised choice after many more failed role call attempts. vaughn hillyard has talked to fred upton he's someone who worked with democrats before. he was very close friends from michigan. best friend in the michigan delegation was john dingell. so vaughn hillyard, what did he tell you? >> he served for 34 years. he's only been retired for 24 hours. i talked to him two hours ago on the phone from his home in michigan. he was the vice chair of the problem solvers caucus. he was one of ten republican who is voted to um peach donald trump. he was one of 12 house republicans who voted for the 2021 infrastructure package. when we're talking about this idea of a consensus pick that potentially a healthy share of democrats could cross party lines and vote on behalf of and pick off a few gop members, more moderate members who respect fred upton, he could be a p

fred upton, and his father passed away, his funeral is tomorrow. his father was a wonderful man who served in the battle of the bulge, helped liberate the concentration camps. the question is how many republicans would warm up to fred upton? >> democrats are going to vote for a republican speaker or not vote at all and not vote for hakeem jeffries. is that what you're saying they would do? >> in the case of upton? >> yeah. >> well, he could get some republican votes. but some of these hard-liners, if they don't like kevin mccarthy -- >> so what is the game tonight? they're coming back in at 8:00, not gaveling out till tomorrow. so somebody thinks that something is going to happen, and there is some reason for that. what is that? >> i mean, my sense of this. i'm talking to people on the hill, i'm talking to people who are talking to people on the hill. everybody thinks kevin mccarthy is a bull in a china shop. i don't know if he can do it. >> but that's one. and chip roy -- >> i don't think there's a strategy here. i think they think they have one,

upton. is there a possibility upton or hogan could save the day? >> fred upton's name has been circulating in the twitter world, but this is really just interesting thinking. this is a west wing episode. this will not happen. at that point, if mccarthy is unable to get the boat see needs, the republic and's will just try for another candidate. they're not going to strike a deal with the democrats. that is a hail mary, and honestly, it is just a dream world. it would not happen. ask what's mccarthy's dream world? let's redux it. who does he call this morning? >> is the same. the republicans are going to have a virtual conference this morning were mccarthy and his leadership team will go through the new rules. this is the same concession we've already spoken about. the biggest one being that one individual can have this motion to vacate, and they may need more freedom caucus members to be on the very important rules committee. i spoke to aid to one of these dissenters who said the devil is in the details, when they become public. if mccarthy was able

there was even the idea of fred upton sloet floeted floated. he's a moderate republican who just left congress. here's what he had to say. >> if the house body came to you and 218 members voted to make you speaker, would you accept? >> that's an intriguing -- i don't know i could even call it a possibility. it's an intriguing thought. i haven't ruled it out. but we're a long way from getting to that point. >> he hasn't ruled it out, but last hour former president trump posted on truth social upton is the single worst person republicans could pick as speaker. as a number of people have been asked about this, most of them seem to be saying no. there looks to be some heated exchanges going on among republicans on the house floor right now. >> yeah, i'm watching this exchange. and on the fred upton thing, there's never been not a current member of the house to serve as speaker. i don't think we're anywhere close to a weird enough noemt time to get there. what you're looking at now is that group of republicans, matt gaetz standing, chip roy seated,

fred upton, outgoing congressman from michigan, watching sound ever music and vienna festival. they call for the von trap singers and nobody would come out. now two people have come out. neither have sought this, jim jordan, nor byron donalds. we have at least names in nomination. neil: hang on there, chad. i want to bring larry glazer, mayflower advisors managing partner covers the stock market closely. larry, some might say this, my gosh, constitutional crisis, all part of government, governing, irdon't know if it reaches that magnitude. if there was panic in the street it would not be up to the degree it is. what do you make the market is hoping on, maybe hoping to turn things around from a flat day, certainly a horrible year last year and maybe this is coming into play, this idea, well, nothing gets done? >> you know, neil, it's a new year and investors are craving a new direction. they're craving new leadership coming out of washington, new leadership coming from the stock market. it is a fine line between gridlock and dysfunction. the market accepted idea, split governmen

. >> we had our former colleague, fred upton on, you said it could be a possible speaker candidate what kevin mccarthy was getting elected. it is an interesting concept. kevin mccarthy's not fred upton, he is a guy who lives closer to the kind of discussions you and i have on, on this show, about ways you can be a statesman, dealing with people across the aisle and getting things done. tell me what you see for kevin mccarthy's leadership, given the fact that he had to make a deal with a handful of people who don't share your political views in some cases? >> you know, we first voted for kevin, he got 85% of the vote, at 90%, one point, 94%? it was a four seat majority, i think 98%. i'm used to playing on teams where you make your case, you vote, you coalesce around the winner and serve as a team. nothing speaker mccarthy will have his hands full with five or six people continuing to demand their way or the highway. that makes for a dysfunctional house, it hurts all republicans and will hurt us in 2024. it's my hope that folks see the big picture, we have to work together. you can't just

the 1830's through the muckrakers of the late 19th century, ray stannard baker, lincoln steffens, uptonlair, ida tarbell, the socialist and communist presses of the early and mid-20th century, the new left press of the 1960's, and to the progressive blogs and news sites of today, such as common dreams, scheerpost, counterpunch, the intercept, consortium news. this whole other stream of the press has been involved in a battle over narrative with the commercial and corporate press. and there is a third stream. because people of color were systematically excluded for 200 years from both the commercial press and the dissident and working men's press, they had to create their own voices. 1827, freedom's journal, john russwurm, samuel cornish, the first black newspaper in the world, "we wish to plead our own cause. too long have others spoken for us. from the press and the pulpit we have suffered much by being incorrectly represented." that's march of 1827. you could write that today and it would still have resonance. and on to great journalists like mary ann shadd cary and ida b. wells campa

dems in the raid, so i won't, the judge does not want to hear about a candidate like a fred upton orork with moderates republicans. you said i want to hear about any moderate republicans, so then there it is. >> jesse: you are saying you could get a moderates republican to get enough democrat votes for speaker. >> jessica: for now we are in line, so 212, we vote for hakim directories, if there is somebody that is preferable to having kevin mccarthy, then you will be able to kick off democrats to do that. hakeem jeffries may vote for himself if it was so muddy like a fred upton who has always been a moderate with democrats voting to impeach president trump, maybe they trots in lee zeldin who would not get democrat vo votes. >> greg: their own execution. i'm talking about republicans. >> jessica: i was just going to -- >> dana: can i add one thing? we have known for several weeks that this group was going to vote against him a mccarthy, the never mccarthy folks, but they never put forward who their alternative was, and even you had somebody like, a lot of the trump folks, including the

where are 20 republicans to go for fred upton?nominated fred up torn i don't think a republican other than kevin mccarthy can get 218 votes amongst republicans not conceive fiscal steve scalise five or six objections to every republican either kevin mccarthy or somebody gets votes from democrats look more towards the center of our party, towards appropriators folks there a long time might go to democrats say look we need to break this impasse we will bring you 20 republicans votes promise you, a committee chairmenship promise you that we won't give subpoena pour to committees if you give report we can pick a compromised speaker huge win for democrats give is a speaker do i any a possibility, beginning of the week i thought that was one chance in 1,000 now i think one chance in 10. jackie: interesting. >> this will move one way or the or the i continue to believe kevin mccarthy is the only republican can get 218 votes. >> i think their trying to make a point to take to constituents say listen, we fought we stood out we heard you. a

one of america's leading balloonist, ralph upton, in preparation for the 1922 national race, organized the first system of aviation radio weather reports an invaluable to the progress of aviation. the fact is, many of the men interested in balloon racing have proved to be leaders in aeronautical development. it weren't vietnam. it is one of the outstanding figures three times an international race winner, van orman as pioneer in several important ballooning improvements. it was commander rosendahl and this taken at a national balloon race in 1927. today, admiral rosendahl as chief of the navy airship training experimental command, directs the entire field of military lighter than air development for the united states. the winner of the national race from pittsburgh in 1929 was lieutenant colonel, an ardent balloon race pilot, a scientist as well. but the name settle. became much better known for a considerable different aspect of ballooning the stratosphere flight in 1933, settle went aloft 12 miles, yet sensational as that record was, it stood only two years. the reason was that strat

former publican congressman fred upton of michigan. who for a hot second some people thought might be the speaker of the house. we will talk again. thank you. >> all right. >> still to come on this hour of velshi, another batch requests of documents found in president biden's home in delaware. what the white house is saying about that. next. plus, honoring martin luther king junior be on his fight for racial justice. dr. king was a warrior for economic equality. i will talk to the man who is working to keep dr. king stream alive today on that front. and the electoral college probably confuses you. it may confound you. but did you know that like many systems in this country, the electoral college has, believe it or not, some racist origins? i'll bring you the explainer, the best explanation will hopefully ever need. er need. struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1? ask about vraylar. because you are greater than your bipolar 1, and you can help take control of your symptoms - with vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or h

fred upton is leaving at the end of this last congress.oday would be his last day. >> brian: he is anti-trumper, right? that will not unite the republican conference. >> steve: a moderate voted to impeach donald trump. how many republicans would vote for him? >> brian: none that wouldn't get close. that's not even a serious statement. >> steve: that's what don bacon is saying. hey, if you don't want kevin mccarthy. he will put this name up if steve scalise is nominated. so, in other words, he is trying to force republicans into the mccarthy lane. >> brian: what's the difference between steve scalise and kevin mccarthy? nothing. if you don't like kevin mccarthy you are not going to like steve scalise. you are wasting our time. congressman norman been on here before i want to see a plan to lower the debt. why don't you write one and see if he this sign off on it. you write it. if kevin mccarthy doesn't have a plan to impress him. differential if he is trying to impress nancy pelosi. this is somebody you should be talking. to say. >> steve: e

chris upton's is set to replace just send a return as new zealand's prime minister. he is currently the police minister but has held high-profile roles in education and health and served as minister for covid-19 response. there has been a new attack on a camp for displaced people in eastern democratic republic of congo. thank you and says at least seven people were killed. asylum-seekers tried to reach europe in our forcibly returned from italy. those are the headlines. the news continues after "insights rate. stay with us for that. --the news continues after "inside story." stay with us for that. nick: the indian government is proposing tough measures to clamp down on what it considers fake news. opposition parties and journalists say it is simply state censorship. what do the plans mean for media freedom? are they necessary to stamp out disinformation? this is "inside story." ♪ nick: hello and welcome to the program. i am dick clark. plans by the indian government to stop the spread of fake news are making headlines themselves. proposals include giving state run ag

but fred upton, let's say his name is put up.is agreement with the democrats is i'm going to create a level playing field. and then you get five republicans. it's possible that that's how it could get done. again, i think we have to go through a number of these iterations until people realize it's doing real damage. but i wouldn't rule it out. i think it's a small percentage chance. but i do think, you know, when we were talking about this possibility a month ago, it's certainly more possible now than a month ago. >> hey, adam, it's scott jennings. i have a question about your views on the tolerance of these members of congress. they've gone through a couple of days now. they've adjourned until tomorrow. who is to say anything product sieve going to happen tomorrow. then you go through the weekend, and then we're into next week. at what point do you think fatigue begins to alter the judgment of some of these folks? it's easy to be intransigent today, or it's easy to say i'm all in on some outcome today. but by tuesday or wednesda

oh my cousin pro bach munchkin upton looked up though, sir, when we talk about the direction of battle mood. so selling your frontal, we're talking about the whole front line where they're trying to get into the city from every direction, from the north, from the east and the south. ha. the intensification, the shelling of back moot is obvious. russian forces are about a kilometer in that direction. the ukrainian military is scared now because wasn't forces of made such great gains around solid are in the north. they now trying to completely in circle the city. as we walked back up the street more rounds explode, close by we begin filming, and 2 more come in around a 100 yards away. the city we run for cover skimming here. our camera on the col dashboard captured the moment 2 of what's believe to have been a 120 millimeter motors slammed into a residential building across the street. the force of the blast broke to windscreen, which a similar story on the other side of crane, an army of moving to push back a russian revolved. se, another of colon of the situation is quite intense. all

clicks through to the beginning of the 20th century after upton sinclair wrote theer jung.e was a movement to make safer foods about slaughterhouse that's not what he wrote thewh book about. is it movement a first safe food that has lasted then we made progress on safe food. the government does not make the food but it's our job to keep everybody healthy. the national parks, we realize nature and the ability to access nature we created the national parksk. sort of our age 65 it was medicare those are decisions that we made together who democratically that people should have healthcare people should have certain economicec security. the clean air act a whole set of things that have happened over the 20th century's really wondered years of good law that's increasingly good. an example i like to give, the steering wheels of cars used to impale us on impact. the paint on that wall used to have lead in it. it does not have lead in it because of public action. it's a pretty broad view of public goods when you think about that one. >> we are here to talk about boprivatization most

say they nominate fred often -- fred upton of michigan.hey decide to vote for fred upton and nominate him and the vote is called and enough democrats and republicans band together to make him the speaker. i do not think that is going to happen. one of the main reasons is democrats are not going to vote for fred upton. they will vote for hakim jeffrey's every ballot. i do not see that happening. they are loyal to their party in that sense. it is an interesting question because when you see this kind of disarray, you say, why not the guy -- neither candidate won a majority yesterday, but hakeem jeffries won more votes than mccarthy. you might think, let's make him the speaker. but they are not the majority. the last election we had, voters put republicans in the majority. they have more votes. they have five more votes than democrats now. until that changes, they will pick the speaker. host: on the line is matthew cannot republican caller. caller: good morning, susan. my question to you, dealing with the race for speakership of the house, is

louis county, missouri precook snow we are out getting ready to go to upton parks. >> it is made up ofmunicipalities. >> now we are normandy and just change thank you. quickset for likenesses every half a mile or half mile. >> right. >> eight lifetime resident gave us a tour. we have come here because of traffic stops aren't always about safety hunting contraband or crime. some cities use traffic stops to raise money. this "new york times" analysis tells it best friend there are more than seven or 30 municipalities across the u.s. that depend on tickets and fees for at least 10% of the revenue. >> these aren't relatively small cities, right? >> they're making lots and lots of money on ticket revenue because they had too. it's not coming from property taxes. >> she says were because it has gotten better in the last few years. we'll get to that part of the story in just a bit. >> how many times have you been stopped? >> i him in st. louis but don't keep track of it, five? ten? >> 10 is a minimum amount of times a been locked up so take that in dublin. i have stopped no less than 20 times

after upton sinclair wrote the jungle we there was a movement. safer food because we because that was you know, it was about slaughterhouse. that's actually not what he wrote the book about but that's what it stimulated was a movement of say for safe food that has you know, that is lasted for that. you know, since then we have made progress on safe food because we don't government doesn't make the food but it's our job to keep everybody healthy the part the national parks tr, right? we realize that nature and you know the ability to access nature and to see beauty we created the national parks. you can you know, you can kind of walk through the 20th century social security. what's that about? it's about economic security for people sort of our age. in in 65, it was medicare. these are all these are all sort of decisions that we decide that you know that we made together through democratically that people should have health care when they're when they read 65 people should have certain level economic security. we should the clean air act, you know

time for the first word news with mark upton. mark: top house democrat hakeem jeffries says he's open to talks about federal spending with speaker kevin mccarthy but he wants to see the republican proposal for reductions and the commitment to take the possibility of defaulting on u.s. debt off the table. jeffrey's it says that democrats will oppose cuts to social security, medicare, and veterans benefits, but says he is developing a very positive and were looking relationship with speaker mccarthy. canada is nearing a decision to send a number of leopard to tanks to ukraine -- leopard two tanks ukraine. the number under consideration is a 4-6. canada also announced they would purchase a u.s.-made air defense system known as the heir to defense surface missile system to ukraine. asia's richest person is fighting back. the business empire he controls is considering legal action against activist investor hindenburg research. they accused's business of market manipulation and accounting fraud. his empire lost $12 billion in market va

names that were floated as well, you talked about former governor kasich but also congressman fred uptoning, or departing maryland governor larry hogan. i have to say, if we're looking at all the issues you laid out, there are significant political hurdles ahead for whoever is the speaker, not the most attractive position to sign up for, even from the outside. >> no, it will be difficult for any person that they nominate. i think the next two years in this country, we're seeing actually a second wave of insurrection. most of those in the 20, the gang of 20, were actually election deniers. they are the ones who fought the space lasers and other exotic activity taking place, as release base lasers we're altering the vote. they were worried about a sham paper being doctored so that they would only vote for biden, not the other. it's just crazy. but being crazy now is getting to the center of the party, and those people are going to be dictating the terms. that's what they are going to weaken mccarthy or whoever they pick will have very weak powers. that means they will have more not to do t

i was talking to fred upton.aid, if that's a concession that someone wants kevin mccarthy to make, should he take it? he said, aboutsolutely not. that will weaken him as speaker. that's something he offered them. >> the reality is, as he said himself, he said his father says it's not how you start, it's about how you finish. he is finishing in a weaker position because of what you said. the vote to oust him basically. he is on the cusp, it looks like, of getting a job that he has very little control over how long he will keep that job. the parlor games beginning, even before he becomes the speaker of the 118th congress is how long he will keep that job. will it be until labor day? beyond that? we will see. the spending is the issue here. there have been arguments for having separate appropriations bills, actually having debates on these bills. that's how it used to be done in washington. it gums up the works considerably. the idea that we are entering this era of divided washington, democrats control the senate.

consensus candidate, maybe somebody who used to be a member of the house, we've heard names like fred upton name -- this is the not the first time you've heard that. what's your response to that? >> yeah, it hasn't happened in our nation's history. it's not going to happen this time. we're going to see -- we're going to see the candidates nominated right now that i think will be the final candidates that will be considered for speaker of the house. i think kevin mccarthy if he's willing to stand in for the fight, i think that's going to energize a lot of governing republicans because, remember, a lot of the new freshmen -- >> let's listen in. congressman elise stefanik listen to the nomination. >> to nominate kevin mccarthy as speaker of the house to lead america's new republican majority. [ applause ] >>> in just two years of failed one haifa party democrat rule, the american people have suffered from a historic border crisis, rampant crime, crippling inflation, rising energy costs, runaway debt. unconstitutional attacks on our fundamental freedoms and weakness at home and abroad. the peop

if you think, go back to begin beginning of the 20th century, after upton sinclair wrote the jungle,ovement to make safer food because that was, it was about slaughterhouse. that's not what he wrote theoo book about but that was a movement of for safe food that has lasted for that, since it then. we have made p progress on safe food because we don't, government doesn't make the food but it's our job to get everybody healthy. tr, right?l parks, we realize that nature and the ability to access nature and to see beauty, we created the national parks. you can kind of walk through the 20th century, social security, what's that about? it's about economic security for people, sort of our age. [laughing] and 65 it was medicare. these are all sort of decisions that we, that we may together through democratically that people should have health care when they reach 65. 65. people should of certain level of economic l security. the clean air act, the sort of whole set of things that happened over the 20th century, that'st really 100 s of good law that was increasingly good. just example i like t

c cnn's patrick upton has more. >> reporter: in a city largely run by gangs where lawlessness is a parthis was an unusual day in port-au-prince. protesters blocked roads and stormed the main airport venting fury at the country's prime minister. faces shielded by scarves and helmet, the protesters included members of the haitian police force who say they're outraged by the recent deaths of several officers by gangs. the protesters say the police need help like better weapons and helicopters to fight off the gangs. and more support from the government. >> translator: we are the future of the country. without security a country does not exist and cannot achieve development. we are on the streets to fight against acts of banditry. >> reporter: the united nations estimates 60% of port-au-prince is controlled by gangs and the toll on police officers has been high. one human rights organization says at least 78 police officers have been killed. an average of four a month. since haitian prime minister henri came to power a year and a half ago. henri says he's aware there must be change but appe

you can see that san francisco, 42, any out 40 upton or 35 in down to the sort south. we're going to be at those 40's. but what about tomorrow tomorrow? we're going to break. that's going to be nice and dry. you can see that we're going to be 55 for the most part, 60's in some areas like napa nevado even delay hope. but overall, the summit, you can get a little bit cooler. >> then today, but it's going to be dry. taking a look again at that 7 day forecast. so again, dry on sunday. more rain on i think we could see a sprinkle or 2 in the morning commute, although i think will be busier monday night break on tuesday and more rain headed our way next week on wednesday. very wet, new year new. well. >> that's for sure bring. it is almost time for us to ring in the new year here at kron 4. we've got a lot in store for you tonight. new year's live host just in waltman and grant lotus are in san francisco tonight. joining me now for a look at what's to come. well, there you are. you should. we should be practicing the countdown. >> 10 started i was going to try eat it up. we'

fred upton floating ideas to get good sport.happened in alaska in recent weeks yesterday in the pennsylvania state legislature. maybe we can break the fever but i'm not holding out hope because the culture in washington is too opposite anything resembling reason. >> the problem that mccarthy faces, that caucus has only gotten more extreme over the years, though, they're not serious legislatures, you can't say i'll take this bill up on the floor, they just want to burn the place down. i don't see them bending at any point on mccarthy. but mccarthy has set up whoever the future speaker may be for failure because they are going to have to adopt the rules package that allows a vote of no confident with only five members any time they want the speaker's head. >> i feel like you remember the snl skit after trump got elected where chappelle and chris rock is at the party, and everyone is running around, oh my god. didn't you see this coming? i was sitting at home watching this going i'm not shocked. this is what you get. >> you said it

this is the fred upton scenario. universally respected by the house. led on healthcare reform. but you have to be able to get about 150 republicans and then jeffries and the democrats have to get to the point where they say we will release about 75 of our members to vote and it would be an exchange not for moderate policies, but for new rules. democrats as a minority party to try to legislate over the next two years. >> the aaron sorkin fan in me, you describe it as farfetched? >> no. if republicans can't solved this, it's where we end up. i would suggest all leading western democracies have a coalition government. we would be looking at a little snapshot. this is just a house. but a lit bit of coalition governing. scalise might get to 218. unfortunately, republicans are wire to just hate democrats. they are not going to want that break glass scenario, but maybe we get there next week. >> so, i believe we have learned that a fourth vote is about to get underway. do i have that right, control room? so they're still in the third. last time david jolly was listening in, probably a

they meet them and emory upton says to him, well, general prepared to retreat. and sheridan said, retreat. hell, we're going to be back to where we were. so anyhow he the troops are being formed this is early afternoon late morning there and woods confederacy can't see many of them so they send them up and. well, i think one of the curious incidents of the war, sheridan had an odd head. he had a free now just wrote about his bumps on it. and you know that was where his aggressiveness came from. these bumps i liken to does somewhat flatten many ball, you know who knows i me but anyways william mckinley. major william mckinley up to them these these well they said general you should along the line and let them know that you're back. now why is that important? i tell you why it's important. there's a lot about sheridan that he butchered tactics. george crook thought of the flank attack and third winchester. george crook side of the flank attack at fisher's hill. now, when the sheridan comes his report and he and crook had been roommates at the academy their close f

. >>> joining us now is former michigan republican congressman fred upton. it's good to see you. this is a whole new environment. you are known for working across the aisle, famously, of course, with your good friend john dingell, the democratic chairman. how the moderates -- how do they operate in this environment? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, we will see how this all plays out. the rules package, which is always usually the first day that congress is in session is always partisan. when the democrats are in charge, every republican votes no and vice versa, which is pretty much what happened yesterday. i think the real thing to look for now in the days ahead is particularly the rules committee. most americans don't know about the rules committee. you don't learn that in high school or college civics. every bill of any consequence, once it gets through a committee, goes to the rules committee. the rules committee decides how much debate it's going to have, what amendments, the sequence, the motion to recommit or whatever that is to most americans. now that that commi

is it a tom cole of oklahoma, fred upton, who recently left? that is the third scenario.omorrow when they reconvene at noon -- is kevin mccarthy done? i think he probably is. or have they reached a deal? we are going to know a lot come tomorrow. >> why is he done? [laughter] why did this happen? >> nobody trusts him. nobody trusts him, chris. even the people who support kevin mccarthy don't trust him. >> i am not glad you are saying that because -- what is illuminating about that is, i have looked high and low for some set of substantive -- ideological >> nobody tries to -- >> beefs here. and i can't find any of them. >> yeah, yeah. does not apply here that says, if i hear that we believe in this thing and you don't believe in that. or the democrats say that, we think you should prioritize climate change on the first day. and we don't think you are prioritizing enough. and that could be, like, well, that's a fight. what is the substance here? >> i would flip the script and say, what does he stand for? no one can tell you what he stands for. again, in 2015, a long time ago
