finally, greg johnson was off the list.at moment where the police came to see you and said you're not a suspect anymore? i remember it very well. it was a relief. it was a good day for me, it really was. andrea canning: that left sandi's friend from work, cliff reed. cold case detective jim allen, now retired, decided to see if he could find some physical evidence tying cliff reed to the death of sandi johnson. it turned out the passage of time in the case gave police new tools. forensics had changed over the years. so there was the potential of testing a lot of things that wouldn't have been able to be tested back then for dna, specifically. they went back to where cliff reed had lived in 1996 all these years later and tore the place apart. they found what looked to them like a bloodstain under the carpet. could it be something? jim allen: we took all the carpet from his room. andrea canning: they still had sandi's teal green ford wagon. they ripped that apart, too. we re-searched her car and collected some more evidence a

. >> greg: house speaker mike johnson said his first meeting with biden was scary when asking about natural joe asked him to pull his finger and it came off. >>> bioscience started up is closer to bringing the wooly mammoth back to life, i thought they did that years ago. it is amazing watching trump go to work. he's charging out of the gate like hunter biden fleeing a child support hearing. 200 orders in one day more work than we got out of biden in four years and unlike biden he didn't sign them with crayons. no matter who you voted for. what's clear now is not that we have a new president but that we actually have a president. and not a potted plant wallowing in his own fertilizer. see it wasn't all exaggeration. you weren't paranoid. joe biden hasn't been running the country someone else as. joe just a figurehead with as much control over the government as he did his own with similar results as it stung course every single day so you have to congratulate yourselves as you did this ridding the country of a faceless cabal of lying thieves if joe wasn't running things did you actually thin

johnson cannot lose any more. if every single member votes for somebody. now it's worth noting, greg steube just told our colleagues he will be supporting mike johnson. but if you look at this dozen plus members, eli crane also saying he will support johnson. so this list is starting to get smaller. but what's interesting about this list is this roll call will be called out jake alphabetically, which means before you even get to massie, you'll see andy biggs, lauren boebert, tim burchett, eric burleson, michael cloud, andrew clyde. we know crane is going to vote for johnson. andy harris, you will have a very good sense very early on. if mike johnson has problems worth noting, even though recent history says multiple rounds of speaker fights seems like it's the norm, it's actually not. manu alluded to this earlier before kevin mccarthy back in the last congress, there had not been a multiple round speaker fight since 1923, 100 years. we'll see if we continue with what's been recent precedent or if we go back to the norm, which is one round new speaker of the house. generapr. >> all ri

jim jordan had you, mike johnson, i could continue on that line. our freshman kelly armstrong and greg steube. we took him. when i first got everybody together, what we are going to have to do be masters of procedure so we can get our points across. these people were with us. failed to look -- yet they blew it every time because their people weren't ready for them. >> we get to the intelligence committee delivers report to the judiciary committee, we hold hearings on it and i can remember the time frame of these hearings because it was a christmas party at the white house that we never made. >> exactly. >> we were stuck in committee but you get the report and we prepare in committee to deal with the report the last chance to back them down. this was the time. >> if people haven't figured out, the reason the title of the book, clock and the calendar, i said clock and calendar many times this year because i never felt it was based on facts. we have to present whatever we can because the clock and the calendar was ticking down to january 1st. january 1st was an election year and anything

johnson. they just have to walk this tight rope and this thing done and make america great again. >> greg: danacrats are kind of happy trump won because now they can return to somewhat like the middle ground and stop having to defend the idiocy of extreme positions on trans, immigration, crime. what say you, young lady? >> dana: i think some of the democrats are agreeing with you. somebody from palisades, a podcast they do on the left, said what are they doing -- talk about this in a little bit -- biden does the interview and is asked, would you have been able to handle another four years, i don't know -- how can we possibly get past the loss if we are still went to defend the last four years. there is a reckoning to be had but president trump's positioning in the prepresidency is also an example of how weak the democratic party is right now. and it is going to take them a while to figure out who is going to emerge. they have some squabbles on their own side, as well. that's actually probably healthy. but if you think about john fetterman, this is a guy who voted for the laken riley act yesterd

leading up to this vote, karl, we have seen johnson's allies airing their frustration very publicly of their more right-wing colleagues, reading directly from greg murphy, the republican from north carolina come anybody who is voting against the speaker to try to get personal favors or to try to get publicity needs to rethink why they are in congress. we heard a lot of frustration like that, karl, leading up to this moment. >> i understand it because it is not just simply a question -- these are not universally people that are to the right of the rest of the caucus. i mean -- >> anyone is a libertarian, not really a normal republican, he is a libertarian and has always been true to those principles, but there are many deeply conservative members of the house who are supporting johnson who himself is a deeply conservative member, and yet the are other conservatives who say i am not voting for him because he made the mistake of passing a measure with democrats who voted for it. well, when you've got a narrow margin like this, you are going to be put in places where you have to sit down with the opposition, particularly if you have come as the repu

greg in glenallen, virginia, line for independents. caller: good morning. i like mike johnson. i think he said a lot of good things in his speech. however, i still did not hear enough about what they are going to do about the $36 trillion debt. i just don't hear enough of how seriously they are going to take that, how seriously they are -- i heard something about coming -- cutting government spending, but are they going to do anything about entitlement reform? are they going to do anything about tax reform? i just, you know, i hope it happens, but i am not confident, because i'm not sure how seriously they are taking that that. host: how would you like to see them address it? you mentioned entitlement and taxes. is there one of those you would prefer they approach? caller: our tax system is a mess, and i think they can go to some sort of flat tax and actually end up straightening out a lot of problems that way. and also they keep kicking the can down the road. somebody has to deal with entitlements. nobody likes to hear it, but that is where the debt is. and so, they are going

greg: for this one, let's hear from jason paul and marianne williamson. this is from michelle johnson, a louisiana deform n.c. member, and here it coe goes. do you think there's a problem with d.n.c. engagement? if so, how would you change it if not, how do you are maintain it? >> i think there are a problem and the problem is there's two different d.n.c.'s. d.n.c. when we don't have the white house, we innovate, think about how things can be better. then there's the d.n.c. when we have the white house. the d.n.c. when we have the white house is very clearly a massive rubber stamp, we're doing what the white house political operation says. they the ones who raise all the money anyway. and sort of you become an appendage. i think it can be a little bit better under now i think the major thing we need to do is come up with visions and plans that are so bold, so innovative so valuable in people's lives, it's like the affordable care act. once we have it no one will want to lose it. i think when we have a 50-state strategy under howard dean, or the 53 state strategy to incorporate other t

tuesday, speaker mike johnson ordered the flag at the capitol capitol building to be raised at full staff for trump's inauguration. republican governors across the nation from grega and key and kay ivey of alabama also all paused the half flag mourning period for carter at their state houses and ordered it be raised at full staff for inauguration day. all of this because trump couldn't stand sharing even a little bit of his spotlight on his big day, especially to someone who has criticized him, jimmy carter told the washington post in 2018 that trump was a disaster in human rights and taking care of people and treating people equally. predictably, trump would later lash out on carter in 2019, calling him a nice man but a terrible president who was trashed by his own party. and more recently, the president elect has repeatedly railed against carter for his panama canal treaties, only taking a break from this line of attacks on the day of his funeral back in 2018, trump also refused to lower the white house flag to half staff following the death of another critic of his, senator john mccain, from arizona, but then white house chief of staff john kelly reportedly t

greg abbott, he's attacked ron desantis. he's attacked republicans in the wake of disasters. he's getting what he gives. and so i don't fault mike johnsone. i mean, gavin newsom was getting ready to have a special session of the legislature to trump proof california. i don't fault mike johnson for holding gavin newsom accountable. >> i will say, if you want to see what right leaning i suppose media is saying, the new york post has bonfire of the vanities on top of gavin newsom, which should give you a sense of it's perfectly reasonable and important to ask questions about the response to hold state and local officials accountable. >> those things are important. they showed the voters of california deserve that, too. there is a difference between raising those questions and holding disaster aid back. that is going to help california families who have lost their homes. i mean, there and i actually think that there will be a political price for republicans to pay if they continue down this road. i think these moments, these natural disasters are typically times when voters on both sides of the aisle do come together. they look to their gov

greg: i really think the big issue that's being overlooked is the speaker of the house mike johnson doesn'tlicans in the house who may not go along with anything so this could be difficult. on the other hand, i would say if historians look back today on 50 or 60 years from now. i think the main theme will be the tech sector. silicon valley. the big stars at today's inauguration will be people like elon musk and people who clearly are protech and i think the tech sector is going to enjoy an exceptionally lenient regulatory policy for the next couple of years. >> it's interesting you say that because isn't this the president that may be were to go tougher on tech to begin with especially on the right side of the political spectrum. what has changed here and what could potentially change for some of these trillion dollar companies in the united states in terms of how they operate in the u.s. and around the world? greg: a fair question. and i think there are people like zuckerberg who change their stripes and want to get in on what's happening. i just think that's the regulatory climate is goin
