of the house knows how to do for his members. just ask anthony win. when anthony weiner exposed himself and the house of representatives to the destruction of having to deal with sexual pictures of anthony weiner that he sent two young women who he met on twitter, nancy pelosi didn't ask for a house ethics committee investigation. nancy pelosi didn't say she couldn't overrule anthony winners voters. nancy pelosi didn't have to be chased down the hall and asked whether anthony weiner should continue to serve on house committees. nancy pelosi set anthony weiner down and told him to get out -- and the next day, anthony weiner resigned from the house of representatives, and no democratic member of the house of representatives has to answer another question about anthony weiner. that is what a strong speaker is supposed to know how to do. a strong speaker doesn't say, while his voters voted for him, i can't override them. anthony weiner's voters didn't know about that conduct when they voted for anthony weiner. and anthony weiner won his house seat by a much larger majority than george santos won his house. speaker of the h

and defaults on its debt, thanks to the republican house of representatives. here is what the previous democratic chairman of the house rules committee, janet governor had to say tonight, about the new republican rules in the house. >> what i'm concerned about is not just what's written down here, i'm concerned by the backroom deals that speaker mccarthy made with the freedom caucus in exchange for their votes like republican congresswoman nancy mace said just this weekend, and i quote, we have no idea what promises were made. >> is this what the majority leader talked about when he talked about a new day in transparency? >> these rules are not as serious attempted governing, they're essentially ransom note from the extreme right. the same members of congress that held this body koch hostage, are the ones who ran interest of the insurrectionists, we try to overturn a free and fair election. and even the news we got the, house voted to overturn the 2020 elections. we couldn't even get a public acknowledgment from, him on the three year anniversary of that horrif

in terms of the bridge in kentucky, we did see the split screen moment where the house of representatives in complete turmoil, unable to agree on a speaker of the house, the house of representatives was shut down last week. there was a number of concerns on whether they could even follow-up on constituent calls and emails. some new members of congress could not even access their email and communicate with constituents because they were not sworn in members of the house, many could not attend classified briefings they normally would attend. there was a national security component. on the others things, we saw president joe biden joining hand in hand with top republicans at this bridge connecting kentucky and ohio. this was with mitch mcconnell, the gop leader in the senate. rob portman, the outgoing senator from ohio. the governor of ohio himself, mike dewine. this was a result of the infrastructure bill signed into law by president biden in the last congress that now we are starting to see the money go out to specific projects. you are going to see more of these types of press conferences

first black woman to be in the house of representatives, cheryl johnson, the clerk of the house of representatives. clerk is a very important position in the house. and as i told you last night, until the speaker is elected, cheryl johnson is the boss of the house, as she demonstrated today. >> the house be in order. will the house be in order? >> and she got the house in order, more effectively than any republican could, until there is a speaker of the house, clerk, cheryl johnson, now has the power to quote, preserve order and decorum and decide all questions of order. that means anything not decided by a vote of the house will be decided by cheryl johnson until a speaker is elected. if this goes the way it did in 1855, cheryl johnson could be in charge of the house for two months or longer, because the huge problem for kevin mccarthy tonight is that there is no deadline on electing a speaker of the house, no deadline. and deadlines are the most powerful tools that congress has to force members to coalesce into a majority vote. so, cheryl johnson will gavel the house into session tomorrow at 12

it was a night of pandemonium on the floor of the us house of representatives. after republican kevin mccarthy failed to win the $218.00 votes needed to be elected speaker of the house. there was shock in the chamber after the nominee failed to win for the 1st time in a century that annabel kevin mccarthy, of the state of california has received 203. the republican front runner is seeking to take over from democrat nancy pelosi after his party when a majority in the november midterm elections without to speak of the house. new members are unable to be sworn in on business isn't able to proceed. democratic minority leader hockey jeffries, called it a sedate for democracy to day for the 1st time in 100 years. the house of representatives failed to organize on opening day, sad day for the house of representatives as an institution. sad day for the microscope. it's a sad day for the american people. house democrats are unified, ready, willing, and able to get to work on behalf of every day. americans voting has been postponed until wednesday. but to me, the mccarthy,

of the house. whoever becomes next speaker of the house will be the weakest speaker of the house in history. the republican legislative terrorists in the house of representatives are making sure of that. our first guest tonight, predicting what you are seeing this week, three months ago, with the perfect phrase for what we are seeing. she described them, what we are seeing right now, the as republicans in ruin. leading off our discussion tonight, democratic congresswoman, primala jayapal of, the state of washington. she is the chair of the congressional progressive caucus. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i have been thinking of your phrase for what we have been watching republicans and ruin, all week. what have you felt you have been watching, as you sit there, adjacent to the republican ruins? >> lawrence, great to see you. i think it has been remarkable to see kevin mccarthy go through 11 votes, 11 rounds of voting, where he did not pick up any votes. in fact, losing some votes. one went to present, some left the house. this will not end until kevin -- between the united, democratic party, that has voted 11 times, all 212 us, for hakeem jeffries

congressman byron donalds has served only two years in the house of representatives. he doesn't know where all of the committee rooms are in the house of representatives at this point, most likely. it's hard to imagine a less serious candidate for speaker of the house, but there is nothing serious about the republicans now standing in opposition to kevin mccarthy. in the new york times, michelle goldberg offers this exquisite description about what they are really about: a 20 lawmakers who, as of this writing, have voted against mccarthy, 17 were endorsed by trump in 2022, five of them are freshman -- these are people who are part of trump's remaking of the republican party. i was honest eli crane, for example, is a former contestant on the business reality show " shark tank " where he pitched bottle openers made up dummy 50 caliber bullets. should open some models in the manliness way possible, says an ad for the product. floyd's anna paulina luna, an ally of trump die hard matt gates, is a veteran and former swimsuit model who built a career as a conservative rabble

6th committee and the committees ward for that work and in the new republican controlled house of representativeso be dismantled. knowing that the soviet style impulses of the new republican majority of house of representatives would want to erase the very existence of the january 6th committee from congressional history. january six committee managed to get its full report into print, and all of its evidence handed over to the justice department before the republicans took over the house of representatives. and now the republicans are busy degrading the remaining committees in the house of representatives. speaker kevin mccarthy laughed at the idea of giving pathological liar george santos any serious committee assignments. and so now we know which committees kevin mccarthy thinks are the laughable jokes of the house of representatives. because kevin mccarthy has assigned george santos to be a member of the small business committee. and to be a member of the science, space, and technology committee. do not let any republican member house -- care about small businesses when they are all supportin

of the house: for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota rise? >> i rise to say wow. and madam clerk, i rise to place in nomination for election of speaker of the house of representatives, the esteemed and wonderful leader of the house democrats, mr. hakeem jeffries of new york. >> our nation's first president unanimously elected by the electoral college keeps watch over of us every single day and in his inaugural address, he spoke of, and i quote, a form of government for the security of our union and advancement of our happiness, security of our union and advancement of our happiness. but 234 years later and after 14 rounds of balloting and a ridiculous war for personal power across the aisle, we the people still find ourselves without a constituted government and advancement of anything impossible. and happiness, suffice to say, americans are unhappy by the nonsense and dysfunction playing out. particularly those who need us the most those who rely on our offices for services and support. not to mention, the unhappy g.o.p. and democratic ranking member and chairs, armed services committee and intell say the risk to our safety and security grows with each passing hou

that went well and the republicans took the house of representatives and nancy pelosi lost the majorityt by much. that is one of the reasons he is being criticized. congress is the u.s. legislative branch. it has two houses. the upper house, the senate, the lower house the house of representatives. if we look at the numbers of how the republicans took back control of the house of representatives in the midterms, it will help us understand why some republicans are frustrated. because it wasn't by much. they now hold 222 seats. four clear of the majority. the democrats ended up with 213. of the senate because when you take the democrats and independent senators and they normally vote together, you have 51. which puts you in a position of having the majority because republicans have 49. the house, the speaker is one of the most important jobs in u.s. politics because they control the legislative agenda and the timetable in the house of representatives and they control who sits on various powerful congressional committees. and the speaker is elected by those within the house of representati

the republicans will so have the majority in the house of representatives. they will block any legislative agenda he had. so he will have one essentially, and they are still going to push forward with investigations into his family, into his cabinet as well. members of his cabinet. so he is still going to face a difficult next 2 years of legislating from the white house with the republicans in the majority in the house of representatives. as soon as this, at some point moves forward, they doubly correspondent, so me, so most kanda in washington. they say thanks so much. last human induced global warming is being blamed for a poor start for the winter sports season in many of europe's most famous gay resorts. lack of snow means that some had not opened and all others have had to close or rely on men. made slow to keep skis and slow borders on the slopes. it looks like a summer trip up the mountain, but death is january and europe. green grass blankets hills that should be covered and snow right now. and ski slaves have been confined to a narrow lane. as if bus

every day that george anthony remains in the house of representatives, he double underlines the house republican party's relationship to lying. and what he shows is that line is a comfortable two way street for house republicans. yes a lot of their voters for 2020 presidential election. the republicans of always like to voters about tax cuts for the rich. actually, it somehow increases revenue to the treasury. in fact, that dramatically cuts the revenue to the treasury as it has overtime. it's creating huge deficits. creates national debt as tap cuts have every time. many of you could spend the next several minutes rattling off lies house republicans have told, without even including the dangerous qanon madness. but the less emphasized part of the republican lie, that house republicans are fully accepting of lies told to them. thank mineralize. most of the house republicans knew that everything donald trump and rudy giuliani said about that election was a lie. but they wanted to be lied to. george santos lying to them is something that republicans in the house except every day from do

determined what, uh, the republicans would do when they will actually establish control over the house of representativeshat will it try to do? what changes will he try to make to the internal? and, of course, for us, the foreign policy of the united states is more relevant and today with us from washington is christian wars, who held major political posts in the state department, an expert among the pros on military-strategic issues and an old researcher at the center for national interest and an influential commentator fox tv channel which is often quoted in russia is the only channel that, as it were, allows at least individual people, starting with carlson's stacker, to say that maybe american policy in ukraine, well, let's say, not the only one reasonable, but we are looking for hello. thank you for taking the opportunity to show up. and i have a simple question for you. well, we watched what happened in the house of representatives, we know that kovin mccarthy managed to win by a small margin. tell me why, from your point of view, this should be significant in the first place, of course, for the am

so when the crowd got to the hall, the meetings of the house of representatives, there was already emptyotesters jacob chensle, nicknamed a shaman for his colorful attire , he left only a written message to the speaker of the house and the vice president. it is only a matter of time before justice will come later. for this hooligan trick, jacob chensle himself was sentenced to three and a half years in prison, a special congressional commission created after those events tried to bring him to justice and before trump, the result of her work was a report published just before the new year, in which former us president accused of trying to deceive the american people and obstruct work authorities. we have embarked on an unsteady path . never before has the president of the united states attempted to forcibly block the transfer of power. what to do with this further will be decided by the us department of justice, however, few people believe that trump could face real criminal prosecution if the department of justice files charges against donald trump. we will find ourselves in a situation

well, it means the house of representatives essentially cannot do anything. the house of representatives has to elect a speaker before it can commence official business. that means that no bills are getting paid. that means that no members of congress are getting sworn in essentially none of the business that the house usually would take up, can take place. that means the house is in a holding pattern. and we saw some amusement on the behalf of a democrats at the situation that republicans find themselves in, but mostly notes of frustration from both sides of the i'll democrats and republicans lamenting the fact that this deal can't seem to get done. they said, this is not with the american people voted for an olla. that's a message we heard echoed from president biden. he was asked about the situation on wednesday while and a trip to kentucky. and he said, this is embarrassing. how do you think this looks to the rest of the world? it's not a good look. so clearly, there is frustration here in washington over the situation. now let's talk about the hardliners

the speaker from his position, in particular, it is said that now any legislator in the house of representatives can raise the issue of the speaker's dismissal from office to a vote. i will note that such a rule was in effect earlier, but since 2019, nancy palasi, the democratic speaker, has paid representatives introduced another rule according to which it could be introduced either at the will of the majority of republicans or at the will of the majority of socrats, now one legislator can raise the issue of dismissing the speaker, in addition , the procedures for debates regarding allocations have also been added, now regarding the allocation of funds, there will be more debuts and discussions about this and this can theoretically take longer longer time also discusses the creation of new committees, in particular the creation of a committee on strategic e-competition of the united states of america, as well as a committee against the use of the federal government as a weapon, republicans say that such new rules will add more democracy to the work of the house of representatives on what uh wha

and we can see today and the house of representatives am for russia. this might be a positive situation. the enemy is divided, as we can see. and this is of course, of course, weakening washington's position and an international level. where does this leave jo biden's agenda now that he's halfway through his term? he is a weak. the democrats are not going to be able to push any legislations through congress of, as we can see, they have filled the majority in the senate. but the house of representatives is going to blog initiatives and legislations, and some smaller ones regarding a domestic politics that there might be a bipartisan support. but for now, president biden is quite a blog and leaned in the sense for you to lose washington correspondent, currently not too many thanks. meanwhile, russian army commanders are facing mounting criticism over the deaths of 63 soldiers killed in one of the deadliest strikes of the war in ukraine. media. commentators from back the invasions a senior officers have failed to learn lessons from previous incidents. the

party leader in a century to fall short on the initial vote to become speaker of the us house of representatives. now it seems like the biggest challenge for the man who bows to change the direction of the entire country comes from within his deeply divided party. whoever the speaker, the new congress is almost certainly headed toward partisan gridlock, worries are the changing power dynamics will also impact the u. s. support for ukraine. i'm nicole ferla kimberline, and this is the day ah, because we understand, and our bones are ukraine's fight. this part of something much bigger. joke was good. i think the u. s. congress. that's the number one priority for the united search right now. according to motion forward and our bipartisan by camel support must continue because the battle for youth crane is a battle for democracy itself. both chambers, both parties, all who support ukraine, providing assistance for the ukrainian to the 3 to rush and all of those who won't victory as much as we do. victory will come important. ah, also coming up after the deadliest known attack on russian troops and u

today is the first time in 100 years that the house of representatives failed to organize on opening day. it's a sad day for house of representatives as it institution -- as an institution, a sad day for democracy in the american people. house democrats are unified, ready and willing and able to get to work. -- to work on behalf of everyday americans. we are prepared to find common ground with the other side of the aisle to solve problems on behalf of the american people. but we do not have a willing partner in house republicans. house democrats already -- are ready to build upon the incredible progress that we made on behalf of the american people in the last congress and continue to advocate and fight for better paying jobs, lower costs, fight for freedom, protect public interest and ensure opportunity in every corner of america. we are ready, willing and able to get to work on behalf of the american people, but we do not have a partner on the other side of the aisle. because the republican conference has apparently -- congress has apparently been taken over by extreme maga republic

of the house: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> madam clerk, i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker of the house of representatives. the clerk of the house: the gentleman is recognized. >> while i rise to that end, i think it's critically important to note that this is actually not about kevin mccarthy. kevin is a good man. man of god. a patriot. he's a leader who has led this conference to our current majority over the last four years. those things are unassailable. but this isn't about him. this isn't about kevin mccarthy. i put no single human being on a pedestal and certainly not before god and not before the gift that he has blessed us with with this grand experiment we call the united states of america. mr. garcia: this isn't about kevin mccarthy. but the matters before us are of stupendous magnitude. a federal republic such as ours, it's a dynamically unstable one, a wobbly top that's just a few mere revolutions away from falling down at any given moment except for the exertions of men and women who are willing to serve her with pure and selfless intent. just as our founding fathers did. just as abraham linco

so electing a speaker of the house is the 1st order of business, and no real work can be done until this happened. so essentially, the house of representatives is paralyzed. think of all those new members of congress who are supposed to be sworn in after the midterm. elections, they can't be sworn in just yet. a congress actually has battle domestic and international problems, but all of that is not going to happen until the speaker is voted in. and i also want to point out this is a difficult moment for the republican party. 2024 is just around the corner and looking ahead to that presidential election, that's going to be really important. this power struggle is showing us just how much power that this small group of lawmakers can wield. they want to move the party to the right, and this is a party that has promised quick action that they would hold president biden accountable. they can't seem to get past this 1st step. the rest of the party is not happy with this small group of, of hard, right republicans. so again, they're not really painting a picture of unity right now. and this is going to be a problem for the party in the next a 2 yea

they choose and cannot choose, the work of the american parliament is blocked until the house of representativeswill not decide on a speaker and tens of thousands of believers have gathered in the vatican to say goodbye to the dead pope, because on the 16th putin announced a cease-fire for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion on christmas instructed the minister of defense sheyguz from twelve o'clock on january 6 to 24 o'clock on january 7, i quote, to introduce a cease-fire regime along the entire line of combat of the parties in ukraine, that is, one and a half days of silence, and putin calls on the ukrainian side to do the same before that, about the christmas truce, the patriarch of the russian orthodox church spoke kirill tserkva, in addition to putin's unilateral ceasefire, the president of turkey, erdogan , we will talk about his role later, on the air, and in ukraine, russian statements about a cease-fire are treated with skepticism, so in the president's office zelenskyi they were called a propaganda gesture, the authorities of russia declare that they have no

many people may say the house of representatives wasn't so functional before this, but this to me begs real question. if, indeed, all these rules go into place, what is the actual reality of how the house is going to conduct its bit as representative democracy. >>> by the way, we're about to hear the gavel. we'll get the results, but go ahead. >> there also could be a tipping point where he gives away too much to the chaos caucus group. i've spoken to republican members, and one said to me, i think normal members will reach a point where they aren't willing to live with the concessions kevin is making to this group. that's a problem for him, too. apart from dysfunction, he could start losing votes if he goes too far. >>> let's not forget, john, as long as there's no speaker, the house of representatives is totally irrelevant. they can't do anything inches right. they are all congress men or congress women elect. kaitlan mentions sending out -- people who have credibility with the holdouts to try to make the case. you've maid your point, enough. today the who would be the leaders of the
