he's already lost thomas massie. you heard our colleague manu raju ask the speaker in this press conference because the president has threatened potentially to primary thomas massie or to at least support a primary challenge to thomas massie what the speaker thought of that. i thought it was really interesting. speaker johnson said. they disagree on this issue, but he is in the business of the incumbent protection program, signaling that he personally is not going to be going after massie, even though massie has already said he's voting against this bill. that's very important for the speaker today, wolf. >> we shall see what happens in the coming hours. lauren fox up on capitol hill, thank you very, very much. we are watching all the breaking news right now. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. >> can a personal loan unlock your ambitions? oh yeah. consolidate bad debt and save money for your next goal. sofi. personal loans, low fixed rates. borrow up to 100 k, no fees required. >> so i can take the steak

know thomas massie personally for a good number of years. if we had 537 elected officials in washington, d.c., like thomas massie, a lot of the challenges that we face as a country would be solved. congressman massie is smart as a whip. he understands public policy and the cascading effects. he's honest. he's principled. and unfortunately, we've got a president who, quite frankly, in my judgment at least, is none of those things. and so you put those two together and politically speaking, it's like gasoline and matches. and you know how donald trump likes to play with matches. >> well, you know, there it seems as though congressman massie also thinks some of his republican colleagues are playing with a kind of fire because he says they're only caring about deficits. quote, when we're in the minority, of course they're in the majority now. so are trump and republicans backing away from their commitment to cut that $1.9 trillion deficit? >> well, absolutely. but that's not new. if you go back to 2015 and 2016, president donald trump told us th

and, by the way, my friend thomas massie takes a principledded position, but we have a very practical into fiscal year '25, we cannot let the democrats use that as a lever to bog us down on what represents 25% of our entire federal budget when 75% of it is on auto-spend with respect to entitlements and other mandatory programs. we should do the very simple, straightforward and common sense thing at the president's asking us to do. let's lock in last year's spending which reduces spending, let's root out some waste at department of commerce with a slush fund and some of the irs expansion that happened in the inflation, so-called inflation reduction act, redirect some of that for border security and defense and clear or the path for the much bigger, much for consequential budget reconciliation bill which has the lion's share of the america first agenda. maria: yeah. no, i understand what you're saying. mr. chairman, how are you going to get out of this sort of constant continuum of spending the pandemic level money? because i know what happened during the pandemic. the democrats and pre

i know thomas massie. i know you know thomas massie.same ever since he was elected. and it's been one issued he has railed against his entire career, which is the spending. and the president, i know,son othe same page when it comes -- that's why he has doge. is there a way to bring them both together he is not anti-maga. he is maga as well he wants regular order. will we get that. >> of course, everybody wants regular order. what my friend thomas massi missed yesterday was the vote was to allow this administration to continue their work so that we can bring about all these big changes for the fy 26 budget. that's the one we start immediately after fy-25 is off the table. that's what everybody excited about. what will happen is the trump white house, the administration will send to congress a budget that requests to spend less money. why? because we're going to be able to incorporate all the savings that doge is uncovering and finding. all of the innovations that the trump administration and his extraordinary cabinet are bringing about t

we saw him turn up the heat on thomas massie overnight. e undecideds on the fence, there's a good chance that they do fold. >> and massie, always colorful in his opposition, saying, i'd have to have a lobotomy between now and the time that i have this vote for me to ever vote. yes. but the way that the white house is making this sell to republicans that never vote for this kind of legislation is basically saying, we'll work on impoundments and rescissions, which is the very fear that democrats have. and the reason that leadership is saying, no way we're going to go along with this. and it's because it's basically the white house saying, don't worry, we actually won't respect some of the funding that you guys are allocating in this bill. that's kind of crazy, but it's working. >> and this was one of the key concerns that democrats had throughout this entire shutdown showdown. the thing that they were asking for was language in the legislation that would ensure that trump directed the funding as appropriated by congress. now, important to not

just a week and a half ago, every house republican except for thomas massie voted to cut medicaid by0 billion this past week at my direction and request. the nonpartisan congressional budget office confirmed that these would be hundreds of billions of dollars worth of medicaid, the largest in american history. so we already know that they are for medicaid cuts because they've already done it. >> congressman, another democratic concern was articulated today by senator elissa slotkin on meet the press today. listen to it and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> everyone knows congress has the power of the purse. so i just until i see some assurances that whatever we pass next week is going to ensure that the money is spent the way congress intends it. i'm going to i'm going to withhold my vote until i see that. >> and that's senator slotkin from from michigan, congressman boyle. isn't that a real concern that no matter what congress passes in terms of a cr or any budget bill, that the white house isn't going to spend the money in the way that congress intended? >> oh. >> it's more

i mean, no one's surprised that thomas massie is going to oppose this. he opposes everything. i think the real question is, are the democrats, even though they're in the minority, going to be responsible here and actually try to keep the government open, or are they going to kind of stamp their feet and, you know, say, if we don't get our way, we're going to go home? i mean, look at what's in this continuing resolution. it actually increases has one of the largest increases of pay for junior officers in the military. it fully funds veteran benefits to push back against what christine was just saying right now, this actually fully funds veterans benefits or democrats now going to vote against that in the coming days while also trying to shut down the government. it does increases funding for tsa and for for important security measures as well that are necessary in order to and for air traffic controllers as well. so, you know, i think we've actually seen a responsible approach by the republican majority and the trump administration on this. the question is, are the democrats go

but two lawmakers, congressman thomas massie of kentucky and congressman tony gonzalez of texas, have said they will vote no on the cr. that leaves speaker johnson in a real pickle, as he already would need all of his members present in the chamber to vote for the legislation. that is, unless he can get house democrats to vote for it. and they've made it crystal clear they won't be bailing him out this time. in a statement yesterday, democratic leaders attacked the cr, warning that it, quote, recklessly cuts health care, nutritional assistance and $23 billion in veterans benefits. rosa delauroe top democrat on the appropriations committee, slammed the cr for taking away lawmakers constitutionally granted power of the purse. >> it's a blank. check to elon musk and to president trump. and it. >> just it. >> allows them to what i call this is stealing. this is stealing taxpayers dollars that were intended to go to american families and to businesses. >> speaker johnson is likely to bring the cr to the floor on tuesday, and it will be an early test of democrats resolve. but president trum

and to congressman massie, who has said he's a no on this bill? >> yeah. >> well, first of all, thomas is a great friend. >> and. >> you know, having. >> been the recipient of some similar tweets, you know, the sun comes up tomorrow and, you know, we'll all be moving forward to try to deliver what we came to washington to do for our constituents. and i think that's what thomas does every day. that's what i do every day. and this one, i just disagree with thomas. i think that where we are at this moment, where we've got the president in the white house, we've got russ voted omb and elon and doge doing what they're doing. we have the opportunity to have this administration do what we've been asking to be done for a long time, which is actually root out the waste, fraud and abuse. the ridiculous expenditures, identify them, and do the job that the american people sent us here to do in november. importantly, a cr for six months. and again, i'm not a huge fan of crs, but i've never ruled them out either. this kind of differentiates me from both ends of the political spectrum in my conferenc

thomas massie is a no, and brian fitzpatrick is undecided. >> i think we're really going to be learninge next 24 hours what's in it and what's not in it. >> reporter: the bill would also require democratic votes in the senate, and many in that party are accusing republicans of recklessly cutting things like health care and nutritional assistance. >> i would argue we're already in a partial government shutdown, and that's because of what elon musk and his doge frat bros are doing. >> reporter: amid increased economic uncertainty about federal cuts and a possible shutdown, president trump saying this. when asked about whether he is expecting a recession this year. >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big. >> yamiche is traveling with the president in florida tonight. and yamiche, the house is expected to vote on this new bill early this week? >> that's right. house speaker mike johnson says he plans to bring the bill to a vote as early as tuesday. it's a crucial test for the new republican majority in washington as both p

thomas massie was learning about that as it relates to the budget resolution in recent days.nd the president, as we well know, is someone that closely monitors the stock market. and sees it as a barometer for success. obviously, it is not one that he is proud of at this moment, given the given the plunging shares over the last few days. but it seems the president. >> is. >> sticking by these tariffs. it is something he too promised on the campaign trail. but there is some dissension among the greater maga movement. i spoke to stephen moore, a former trump economist economic adviser, who said the tariffs he's not are not the problem. but trump should have waited to institute them until the economy, he said, was in better shape. he's advocated that the president first prioritize tax cuts on capitol hill and then move to the tariffs. obviously, that's not the strategy that the president took, and that's causing some concern not just in washington and in new york, but across the global economy. >> yeah. and i mean, that's the lament that i frankly heard from senate republicans wh

you agree with the president should thomas massie be primaried if you post against this? >> look, i meant income protection program here. that's what i do. speaker of the house and you know me and my style and the way i do this job. i bless those who persecute me, right? thomas and i have disagreements but i consider thomas massie a friend. he's a thoughtful guy. i guess i could tell he is doing what he thinks is right on this. i vehement disagreement with his position as a leave it at that. >> you in the past did not vote for crs when you were a member. you said and fast you were done with short-term crs. by my count my pillow off this would be the fifth continue resolution you are presiding over as speaker of the house. what do you say to your conservative colleagues who have heard you in the past promise you'll go through a regular appropriation process but you can't find it so some position would have take dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: mr. president, yesterday afternoon elon musk confirmed what many of us had been warning about

right now the only hard know is thomas massie.d vance will be on the hill today to whip this bill in the gop conference. pete hegseth talked about government waste, fraud, abuse, and spending. trump is even personally calling members of congress who are on the fence, trying to sway them to get over to the yes category and vote for this funding bill. if they cannot fund the government, this bill fails, there is no plan b. they don't have another option other than republicans i talked to who said their plan is to blame democrats if they do not fund the government. republicans have a trifecta. host: let's go to what is in the bill. there is a decrease in domestic spending by $13 billion. you said there would be programs that are cut. do we know what programs are being cut? guest: yeah. we are looking at cutting some funding to obviously usaid loses a little bit of funding. they take out the earmarked programs. they take out the programs previously requested in december of last year's funding program. mostly local community projects t

so president trump came out today in a primary challenge against congressman thomas massie. congressman massie has been a supporter of doge and has been a supporter of make america healthy again. what kind of message is this white house sending against a congressman who's sticking up for principles that he's long held in the chamber and voting against continuing resolution and spending? karoline: i think the president has made it clear that it is critical for conservatives and frankly all members of congress to get behind this continuing resolution, to keep the government funded. the president wants to continue the momentum that he has built over the last 51 days. in order to keep the government funded, we have to keep forward with these deportations and he believes that everybody needs to get on board with this bill. he's been making calls to get this over the finish line and we're urging every american and democrats -- republican and democrats, too, to do what's right to prevent a government shutdown. reporter: on mahmoud khalil. does the administration think they need to
