joe biden had to call jim clyburn.hink the dnc chair was at a party fundraiser, so they had to tell him there. this was something obviously clyburn wanted, a lot of south carolina democrats wanted as well. but listen, they we surprised as anyone. yamiche: what are you hearing about the primary changes, the ramifications of this? especially for the general elections, where you also have new hampshire and nevada going to be up there. asma: that's what i was going to say. the major impetus for these changes was this letter by president biden outlining how he wanted this calendar changed with south carolina at the top, followed by new hampshire and nevada, and in michigan and georgia. there has long been criticism that iowa and new hampshire were not really demographically representative of the democratic party. the impetus immediately, though, ase just heard, was the fact that thiel caucuses themselves were a mess -- the fact that the iowa caucuses themselves were a mess last time around. some of these other places, you t

clyburn: not at all. not at all.nto the biden administration, and once again, throughout all of this, even today, and ting to issue our report, they are still harking it back to china and what initiatives may have been between this country and china. that was not our job. our job is to look at the money that was going out, if it was being used efficiently, effectively, and equitably. we saw in instance after instance. judy: several of the things i want to ask you about, with the change in the majority in january, incoming democrats have voted on their leadership in the next congress. you are the only one of the senior members of the democratic caucus who is staying on. speaker pelosi and others have stepped down. why did you decide that you should stay on? rep. clyburn: for many reasons, there were many reasons that were clear to me, that the south need to be there. i would remind people that i'm the only one in leadership that was ever denied by law to even get to congress in the first place. i was 52 years old befo

>> clyburn saying he wants to see these other leaders speak out.heard from, talk about what trump said. >> what struck you most being with him in-person? >> the south carolina thing was interesting. wasn't pushing for south carolina. he wanted it to be early up in the window and obviously critical how biden did in south carolina. the white house readily admits that. interesting area talking about that emphatically saying biden should run in 2024 and what it means for him to be in leadership. what he said about his age versus jeffries' age, striking. >> and important to have, knowing, mr. clyburn, he mentioned why he couldn't run, history of his family, not able to get a degree, and also history of voting and voter suppression in this country. he is sort of, he symbolizes all of that and also symbolizes where we have come in this country catapulting biden into the presidency. >> which he says is an important perspective for someone in democratic leadership to have. talking generational change. he's staying on but talking about representing voters hi

clyburn: many reasons.onal black caucus was very clear to me that the south needed to be at the table on the on the southern at the table. i would remind people that i'm the only one in leadership that was ever denied by law to even get to congress in the first place. i was 52 years old before the voting rights act was kicked into place to allow me to go. at 52 years old, i'm very pleased things have worked in such a way. and now at the age of 52, hakeem jeffries is becoming a leader of the party. a lot of us paid significant sacrifices to get to this point, i among them. so i said to people who keep mentioning that issue, i didn't get to the leadership table at the same time that they did, so why should i be expected to leave? judy: why do you think the south is less represented in the democratic party or less represented in democratic leadership? rep. clyburn: because we've allowed these laws to exist. my parents, i remember, my parents voted for the first time. i remember that. because the laws did not a

challening jim clyburn. clyburn the only member of that old guard trio of leaders to stay within the ranks of democratic leadership. now just outside the room our colleague scott wong saying a close ally came outside the room, said inside this meeting, cyst lean said they needed representation in democratic leadership. and others in the room assured him that there would be a push to make sure that that community is represented within leadership ranks. clyburn won the job and will go forward now at this point in leadership. and that concludes the elections. the top three people in this and pete aguilar as the caucus chair, those were a slate of leaders enforce dorsed by the outgoing and long time leaders of this anterior. nancy pelosi, hoyer and jim clyburn. their roles were done without much drama around them. all of them confirmed with no challengers. this was really the last piece of the puzzle to fall into place. what we're going to see now is clyburn is able to maintain that leadership position. on the p

why did he challenge clyburn? >> reporter: he said he believed democrats needed to have a spot at the table from the lgbtq community. he said this will be the first time someone from the community will not be represented by house democrats. he did announce a bid yesterday even though jim clyburn announced a couple weeks ago he in fact would run this position, which represents the number 4 position in the house democratic caucus. he said he ultimately decided to step aside because he got assurances from house democrats that they would include some sort of position from a member of that community on their leadership team. he said it's still being formulated. he said it's important particularly given attacks that have been leveled from republicans against some members of that community, namely the trans community. after cicilline decided to step aside, clyburn was in fact elected by -- unanimously by the house democratic caucus earlier today. and jake, this all comes as a very smooth transition that has curd in the a

clyburn: thank you very much. can you give us some idea about how it is looking out there in the universe, how many viruses may be threats to us? >> i would say 24 viral families. some others say 22. that means they hang out in reservoirs, animals, but don't necessarily get sick, but with a couple of mutations as these viruses evolve they could jump into humans like ourselves, become infectious, and then spread. that is something that we saw with the coronavirus. rep. clyburn: act paying for that? >> quite frankly, we aren't even prepared for seasonal flu epidemics. rep. clyburn: thank you very much for frightening me that way. let me know yield to mr. jordan for questions. rep. jordan: thank you. should we be sending money to china? , but i think we should only be investing in research and places that are transparent. >> hundreds of thousands of dollars went to the wuhan institute of virology. should we do that? >> the last two months, we had a bunch of debt, the just interest to service that debt was over $100 b

, that clyburn should follow them as well. that challenge didn't have a lot of legs behind it. clyburn has a lot of support from many members in congress, including the powerful congressional black caucus. cicilline read the room before the vote took place, stood up and withdrew from the contest and clyburn ended up being elected to that position unanimously. this was the first hiccup they had and it looks like they've gotten past it and remain unified. lindsey? >> ryan nobles, much appreciated. >>> we'll be watching the white house this hour for that press conference with president biden and french president macron. we will bring you that live. first, it took years, but house democrats have finally gotten their hands on former president trump's tax returns. so what are they looking for? i'll talk to a member of the committee investigating those documents. >>> and with just five days until georgia's senate runoff, senator raphael warnock is bringing in the star power. his rally tonight with former president obama and the massi

to thank our current house majority leader, steny hoyer, and our current house majority whip jim clyburn for their incredible friendship, mentorship and support for all of us along this journey from the very beginning of our arrival in the congress. we stand on that collective broad shoulders, building upon the incredible work they have done, excited about the opportunities to advance the ball for evidence americans as -- everyday americans as we move forward in our future. i was born at brooklyn hospital and raised in crown heights by my two parents, public employees, a case worker and a social worker in a middle class, working class neighborhood in the midst of the crack cocaine epidemic in the 1980's and early 1990's. i'm thankful for them, thankful for their love, support and prayers throughout the years, throughout my journey into adulthood and my journey as a public servant. growing up in that crown heights' neighborhood first member of congress i was aware of was the honorable shirley chisholm and i was able to represent many neighborhoods in brooklyn that she formerly represented

representative jim clyburn was unanimously elected assistant leader of the caucus yesterday.month the 82-year-old clyburn, a friend of joe biden, declared to stay in the top position even though his fellow okta gentlemen nairians stepped aside. >>> and you'll hear from congressman clyburn when he joins "morning joe" a couple of hours are from now. >>> meanwhile senate minority leader misch mcconnell slammed hakeem jeffries. take a look. >> just as an example, the newly elected incoming leader of house democrats is a past election denier who basically said the 2016 election was, quote, illegitimate. and suggested that we had a, quote, fake president. he's also mounted reckless attacks on our independent judiciary and said that justices who didn't like him, quote, zero legitimacy. unfortunately when it comes to attack our independent judiciary, the independent is not an outlier. he's a representative example. >> i'm not sure mitch mcconnell has much of a leg to stand on there. >>> coming up, we'll switch to business news. the markets are flat ahead of the jobs report that comes

dave cicilline challenging jim clyburn. what's your take?think a whole generation taking over. i think with nancy pelosi's everyone can say performed well. she's a g. o. a. t. as a speaker. when you have people like mitch mcconnell, joe biden, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi. i think there's a time for new generation. i think the democratic party is smartly recognizing it is time to put in position a new generation into politics. i think that's what this is. about i think clyburn has served exceedingly well his state in the country and, the democratic caucus. but there's a sense it's time for another generation. and if you look at the vote totals, where democrats win elections, they are winning elections with people under 45 are under 50 years old. so i think it is about time we had a new generation, because this generation of leaders has basically been in power for the last 30 years. >> and lizzo would say, it's about damn time. wouldn't you agree? >> oh, totally. i think we have a huge gerontocracy programmatic on congress. >> did you just say

. >> but it was just payback for clyburn. >> steve: south carolina, georgia, yes. >> it was payback forse he was able to bring in the vote, bring president biden in the black vote and pleadedy foemotionally for black voters o vote for biden and now biden knows and that is how he operates, right? >> steve: that is exactly right. the other thing about thein changes, the primary pointing outit is it makes it much harder for the kind of new insurgent candidate with not a lot of money to get going. it favors the candidate with big money because they have big stages all at the same time,y be that is what they are doing. but >> it does but you have to askon what is their bench? the democrats don't have much of a bench. kamala harris, no,gieg pete buttigieg, no, elizabeth warren -- they do not have a long bench. so it is probably going to bet biden becaushae there is literay nobody else. >> i definitely believe they are trying to get michelle obama.>>i i think they are. >> i have to disagree. i think they would love michelle michelle obama to run and she's the most popular politician, but i don

i mean, it was really -- especially after south carolina, especially after clyburn's endorsement as wellck voters, especially black voters in a state like south carolina have been the reliable coalition for the democratic party. it's also been the coalition that has benefited, that has supported now president biden and you saw that in the 2020 election so as these questions continue about 2024 and his electability, it's clear we can say this would be a lift. >> help me with friday mischief. parties can do this anyway. they can do it if they pay for it but normally what you want is for the state government to adopt it so use the state political system and the state government pays for it. if you're nikki haley do you want south carolina to, yes, jump first and take that, donald trump, i'll put south carolina. if you're donald trump do you pick up the phone and say don't you dare. what happens to the republicans here? georgia, again, if you're going to have a primary system and the state pays for it, georgia would have to move as well. you have a republican governor there. this could get i

i look forward to advancing that mission with democratic whip clyburn, chairwoman barbara lee, who i failed to mention, she was the principal sponsor of this bill, and chairwoman joyce beatty. all of them, along with representative bass, they were all democrats, but there were many, many republicans supporting this effort. because they too stand for equality and justice. they played an important part in developing the prior vision of this bill and it's reality. our legislation -- its reality. our legislation would also commission a new bust for justice thurgood marshall, not to be put outside the old senate chamber, because the historian rightfully observed he was not a member of the old senate chamber. but it will be placed at some appropriate place in the capitol. as the first african-american to sit on the supreme court of the united states. as a towering civil rights leader, defending of our founding principles and the first black supreme court justice, marshall is a marylander worthy of a place of honor in these historic halls. in removing taney's bust, i'm not asking that we wo

clyburn is a wonderful legislature with lots of respect. 1990s called and they are looking for their politics back. i do not see that happening in part because of republican bases. but, frankly also, because of democratic bases. we are not in a time for that kind of cross partisanship. we may see some of that behind the scenes. on bills other infrastructure bills and other types of regulatory issues. what do i see a happy union happening between kevin mccarthy and moderate congressional democrats? no. partly because of what kevin mccarthy's made clear his agenda is. he is doing things like putting and playing nice with people like marjorie taylor greene. republicans are set to have a next session of the house it is going to be like benghazi on steroids. they want to be on hunter biden's laptop. they want to talk about whatever, you name it. pizzagate. it is on the table for them. this is not going to be a session of congress that is nice and nice and let's meet in the middle and wait for the deals. >> stuart, i mean, i am thunderstruck by w

am i wrong there without jim clyburn? joe biden would not be president today. he was losing in the early state of south carolina was the turnaround state because of clyburn. and let me tell you something. illegal immigration is not overly popular. among african-american democratic voters in south carolina. is putting a lot of pressure on our system. we're giving benefits, illegals that american citizens are not able to obtain. and it's just a matter of time to another terrorist attack. so the fact that newsome went to the border tells me a lot about his future plans, the fact that we moved south carolina up in the democratic early primary voting tells me a lot about biden. biden wants to run. the only question is , will he be physically capable of running? and i'll say this, if he doesn't justice border policies, pretty soon he will not be able to make the case that he's all right. >> the last question. yeah, so we know this year alone that we were able to identify and catch a hundred people on the terror watch list . right. my question is , how many people on

and jim clyburn is an institution in our party.show up in a state like south carolina and break out of some of this long-term institutions in some of these states like a michigan or a south carolina? >> i will say this, and quickly if you could, i understand all the reasons for it, but iowa allows an individual to go because it's smaller and really campaign the way that obama did. you don't need to have the richest campaign. that's going to change now. >> yeah, you've had individuals go to iowa and make big splashes and you've also had people go to iowa and make big splashes and then totally flame out. >> right. >> let's just all remember, the reason they're falling down the list is because of the abject embarrassment they caused in the primary the last time around. it was really crazy what happened there. and we've got to do better than that. >> thanks to one and all. have a great week. >>> everything is on the line for the men's soccer team as it prepares to play the netherlands in the knockout round. will the u.s. star player be

and just a few hours, democrats will choose between rhode island's reporter and james clyburn for the assistant leader. there was a surprise bid to challenge his long serving colleague yesterday. writing this in a letter. >> i think it is critical that the house democratic leadership team fully reflect the diversity of our caucus and the american people by including an lgbtq plus member. that's why i decided to run for assistant leader. the current democratic leadership trio, the 82-year-old clyburn is the only one who is opted to stay in a top position in the next congress. frustrate something younger members of his party. on the other side of the aisle, a number of house republicans continue to voice their opposition to kevin mccarthy serving as the next speaker. bob good became the fourth member of the caucus to firmly announce that they would not support mccarthy's speakership bid. >> what do you see as the potential number of folks who are really wanting to take this thing to the floor against mccarthy? if the situation and rules or anything? >> i'll point to andy bigs said. i vo

joining us to discuss jim clyburn from south carolina a member of democratic leadership.'s new group, this law firm that fights that block biden administration programs that are trying to remy racial and gender disparities? >> well, thank you very much for having me. look, i have been saying now for more than a dozen years that i detect throughout the country and in a lot of legislative polls, attempts to turn back the clock. i just finished today a marker in the veteran's affairs committee of two african americans who came home after world war ii, one of them while in uniform was blinded by a local police officer here in south carolina. took his billy stick and punched his eyes out, denied any kind of assistance from the veteran's, the so-called gi bill. matters up in new york was admitted to harvard university who was not only allowed to get veterans benefits because they did not want to set a precedence. that's what has been going on since the 1940s. and we move to correct that in this country with the civil rights act of '64. the voting rights act of '65. the fair hou

i think the fact hakeem jeffries has been mentored by clyburn who still has a lot of influence and willain in leadership is quite significant but it is the reflection of the ability of that particular power broker and figure in congress to help be part of that ushering in and part of that decision making. there isn't a hakeem jeffries without all of the other lawmakers you saw in the congressional black caucus working hard all those years. >> speaking of what is being ushered in and the lawmakers who are now part of this new generation, new congress to be sworn in what, 34 days from now? thinking about where you are and you're historic in your own right, the nature of your politics and where you are today, i wonder if you have reflected on the changing significance of how people are represented and how you will endeavor to do so. >> it is really impressive how far we've come in 14 years or 20 years or 30 years. in some ways, it is amazing it's taken this long. we've seen such a growth spurt in a short time. hakeem jeffries when he gave his acceptance speech within the caucus today it wa

and jim clyburn is also the majority w.h.i.p. an assistant democratic leader in the next congress. good to have you back on the show. congressman, i guess i am concerned -- how much does this look at how many lives could have been saved, especially in the first few years of the coronavirus pandemic, because it seems like it took the united states and the administration a long time to find its way? >> first of all, thank you very much for having me, mika, joe and the others. what we have found here is the past administration at the onset of the coronavirus continued to put politics over people. you remember all of these heroes that this president was calling upon after denning it existed at all. this committee was formed by nancy pelosi to look at how our response would benefit the american people. right off the bat, we started looking at how the monies being appropriated by congress was being spent, and whether it was being done efficiently effectively, and what we found is right away we started getting money returned because peo

but he was obviously resuscitated in south carolina with the help of james clyburn and others.what about hugh's point there? >> yeah, i mean, hugh makes a great point. this seems to be an entirely a reflection of joe biden's experiences when he ran and finally won for the presidency. my concern, there is no issue necessarily with changing up a calendar. it's just that the party needs to do it for the right reasons. and i'm not sure doing this because it worked for joe biden is the right reason. you know, it's evident from the statements that were made that they are very concerned about minority voters and it has an element of racial identity politics involved in it. but, the bigger narrative that's been going on in the democratic party for some time now has been the problem it's had with blue collar and rural working voters. i'm not quite sure how this change would in any way address some of that and, in fact, it could actually make it worse. >> bret: we're just getting elon musk's twitter feed up here and he is retweeting matt taibbi about a series of tweets that says they are

it would put clyburn's home state of south carolina first, with new hampshire and nevada one week latery georgia and michigan. the change in the order of primaries was one of many changes president biden urged the the dnc to implement in a letter sent late yesterday, including eliminating caucuses. moves he writes to help the democratic party to better reflect the party. you cannot be the democratic nominee and win a general election unless you have overwhelming support from voter of color. and that includes black, brown, and asian american and pacific islanders voters. the rules change got the backing of a key dnc panel. if it is successful, the 2024 election will mark the first time in more than 50 years that iowa did not come first. we're back with the rev and basel. can we do this today? it seems like, put the politics aside for president joe biden, this seems like the right thing to do and long overdue, rev. >> it's absolutely the right thing to do. and many of us have been saying this for a while. and it's not just joe biden doing something for the black community, because he said

number one, the question david cicilline is challenging congressman clyburn for the number 4 democraticion. he made the point leadership should include an lgbtq member and he would add to that. >> listen, i fully support jim clyburn. i think he's staying on the leadership team and a valuable and key player. and we're going to -- you know, we do reflect the beautiful mosaic and that includes lgbtq, so we will see tomorrow. >> we'll find out tomorrow. the other thing is there is a lame duck session before you all take over the new leadership team. and i'm going to put up a few things on the docket. there is funding the government, which i think a lot of people would not like to see to the chaos congress that could come, the chaos leadership that could come, covid-19 funding, additional aid to ukraine that people like marjory greene have said they would like to end and also reforming the electoral count act to make sure we can't have a legislative version of another insurrection. how much do you think gets done in the lame duck? >> we're going to try to do all of that. as you said we know
