a republican house, i would say a few things. the republican house in president biden, we will see more brinkmanship on the government. the appropriations bill and government funding bills will become more contentious because republicans are going to have demands, they will want things on immigration and the border wall, spending cuts. the see issues like government funding. the debt limit, as well. a much more potent weapon. potentially more dangerous. as leverage points for them to get what they want on a policy matter they would not ordinarily be able to get through the normal legislative process. we expect a lot of investigations of the biden administration. that is in the house of representatives. on the epublican side. on the democratic side, there is a big question about what the top three leaders, including speaker pelosi, do, especially if democratse control of the house. they are all in their 80's. there's been a moment democrats have been leading to a generational transition, and everyone is asking when it will happen. it is only a matter

republican party. oh wow. tonight we built upon those games 2 years ago and it is clear that we are going to take the house back my dog for more unless i go to the white house and bring in my car, who's there for us. so kevin mccarthy, absolutely determined that the republicans are going to take control of the house still not by the majority that he perhaps was hoping for. indeed, yes, perhaps he's putting the best face on a situation which is actually disappointing. many republicans, every mid term election, there is normally a major swing towards the party that is not in power. and predictions for this term had been that the republicans would gain substantial numbers of seats in both the house and the senate, a red wave, so to speak. well, that has not transpired. many results are still too close to call. we're still waiting for a lot of results. you heard the way the situation stands at present. but for mccarthy, to start looking at a substantial majority that is not going to happen. and that will have problems form a copy as well. if the republican should gain control, it's going to be by a slight majority which will raise into question his ability to m

house that they're going to take the house back. but this is not the majority that many republicans were hoping for. well, it's certainly not the majority that the minority house speaker was hoping for, though he's putting the the best based on what largely has been a disappointing night for many republicans who had been seeing a massive red wave to sweep through the nation rest in control of the house and also resting control of the senate. well, they may still be on track to take control of the house, but the senate is a really tight race. may only be resolved, come to some of the 6 been run off elections. we heard from the majority speak of the house, nancy pelosi, a short while ago. she's still saying that she believes that the democrats can maintain control of the house pelosi winning yet again, very handily, her seat in california. so certainly the democrats have reason to be satisfied, although they are trailing in so many how seats the republicans having got it, would appear those 5 democrats seats they needed to, to, to take control of the house. but at the same time we've heard from president biden, in the course of the evening, he tweeted out to pic

house to -- republican house takes control. in 42 days we end one party democrat ruled in washington. a new house republican will work to stop joe biden on our laws, borders and border agents. we will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena. let me be clear. those responsible for this disaster will be held accountable. i've spoken today, again, to congressman jim jordan, and jd,, defeat -- jamie carmer. they have my complete support to investigate the collapse of our border and the shutdown of ice enforcement nationwide. undersecretary mayorkas -- under sec. mayorkas, his laws have approved that deadly. fentanyl is slowing -- flowing in record amount. 300 americans will be poisoned and die. tomorrow, 300 more. it's the equivalent of an airline crashing each and every day in america. again, he does nothing. if an airline crashed three days and around the entire nation would say, we have a real challenge. we have a crisis, disaster, we have to do something about it. he continues to lie to the american public. we have lost operational control of our southern border, empowering drug

i have heard about the jockeying taking place on the republican side with wanting to be house speaker kevin mccarthy, but house minority leader kevin mccarthy making his decisions and republicans making plans about launching investigations. i have also heard with people on the democrat side to see what might be done if house speaker nancy pelosi leaves. what are you hearing? >> very likely next speaker for republicans to take control of the house is kevin mccarthy. he's in line for the job. he spent the last two years making every decision on the basis of what is best for republicans in this election and what is best for my prospects of becoming speaker of thhouse. a republican house, i would say a few things. the republican house in president biden, we will see more brinkmanship on the government. the appropriations bill and government funding bills will become me contentious because republicans are going to have demands, they will want things on immigration and the border wall, spending cuts. the see issues like government funding. the debt limit, as well. a much more potent weapon. potentially more dangerou

house republican house, minority leader, kevin mccarthy could be nominated for the speaker role, he's already celebrated the results. if you believe in freedom, hard work and the american dream, these results proved that there is a place for you in the republican party. ah, no. tonight. we built upon those gains 2 years ago and it is clear that we are gonna take the house back. ah, one of the latest races to be called has been the senate race and the key swing state of pennsylvania. it's been won by democrat, john feldman. we have a line i never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue. well, we did what we needed to do and we had that conversation across every one of those counties internally. that's why oh, be the next us senator from pennsylvania. ha. yarboro, arizona has got more from pittsburgh time tonight that either of the 2 parties has been able to flip. one was previously republican now is democrat, this was a hard fought campaign. it was very close and no one could really predict how this was going to go. but now with this race being called for john fedor, men, this puts the democrats in the control or in the driver's seat, if you will, to potentially remain in control of the u. s. senate, it's not there yet, but this is a big step in that direction. for the democrats in democratic republic of congo, at least 9 people have

republicans the majority in the new house. >> with this call, we have republican control at 221, a seven-seat majority. that is the nbc house that the republicans did win back the house as a consequence of the california district you just walked us through. so steve kornacki, here we are at the end of the road of this counting with regard to control of the house. walk us through this entire result, the republicans without a red wave, but with these final seats, have control of the united states house of representatives. >> the question is, what will that final number be? the nbc news estimate has it at 221. so right now, this is the 218th seat. garcia wins it for the republicans. also about ten minutes before this call, one other unresolved race was finalized in the second district of maine where they do a runoff. the democrat won there. so what you see is outside of those two races that have been called in the last ten minutes, these are the remaining outstanding house races. the question for republicans is, because yes, they will have a majority. they would like to have the smallest amount of pad to that. so where else on

that's what a wartime speaker, wartime minority leader does and house republicans need that. the country needs that. house has an ability and opportunity to make history and i hope they take it. mike: it always struck me that democrats never seem to step out of line around nancy pelosi but republicans did not have a problem challenging john boehner and paul ryan. what about republicans who may be rebellious by nature? >> i think that's an aspect of republicans that their leadership has not been aligned with their movement and they don't have that problem on the left. their leadership is aligned with their movement. and republicans have a leadership team that generally kind of tries to find ways to manage their members by meaning let's distract them from the real fights and that's part of what i'm getting at. it's time for a speaker or a minority leader that gets where the grassroots is and knows what time it is in this country and makes decisions on that basis. you're not going to be able to win every fight and the grassroots doesn't expect you to win every fight but what they expect you is to use every o

house than he ever anticipated. he needs 218 house republicans -- house members to vote in favor of him becoming speaker. say that they are not going to support him. and while there is some wiggle room on that 218 numbers, some can vote present -- and just be absent from the chamber during the vote, it's setting up what could be a contentious vote for kevin mccarthy to be speaker. although he won the nomination, he's been trying to win over republicans who might oppose him on the floor. >> whirl, here's something he did last week which was pretty much doubling down on his pledge to remove adam schiff, ilhan omar and eric swalwell from their house committee assignments, and likewise that he would reinstate far-right congresswoman marjorie taylor greene to her post if he becomes speaker. she was stripped of her assignment last year after she made remarks about executing democratic lawmakers. do you put it past him to follow through with this, meredith? do you see any indication he won't cave to the most radical members of his party? >> mccarthy is really trying to make inroads with people like marjorie tay

democrats that in pennsylvania, especially fun and republicans are leading in the race for the house. so tell us, what would a republican controlled house mean for politics going forward? best case scenario compromise between the democratic health, if it's going to be held by the democrats senate and the white house and a republican controlled house in this is a democracy. basically you compromise, you meet somewhere in the middle, worst case scenario is non partisan political warfare. i remember the name is supposedly new speaker of the house. mccarthy said that he's not actually excluding. impeaching president trump, he didn't say for what, but you see, a democrats were afraid that the republicans roll out a if they win or the house, or both the senate a investigation and ever launch against democrats, for whatever reason. right. a. but let's talk about the elephant in the room for one. just 2nd, donald trump, donald trump has a problem. and the republicans have a problem because the senate candidates off the republicans were almost all of them . trump affiliated and trump picked and endorsed and they did not perform in the house. tha

house do to lower taxes fight inflation? >> here is good news we've done this before, when obama was president we had a republican house a republican houset yet republican but if you have to filibuster, one we do what happened take republican tax cut make it permanent, remember what obama did was two years, he made, he took bush tax cuts 85% permanent a similar fight democrats lied to people said tax cut wasn't help to middle income americans they have to vote against continuing 1,000 dollar tax credit going to put them in a difficulty position republicans need to focus expanding iras, 401(k)'s for all education, and say let's make that available, now, for homeschoolers as well democrats largely voted against that in the past, and we should index capital gains something passed in one house three times, in the united states history, right now when you pay taxes sell a house 40% inflation with biden's inflation you are paying taxes only on nation, that could be stopped, legislation tee ted and davidson of ohio put forward. >> what about irs, we know president biden wants to hire 87,000 new irs agents we know kevin mccarthy said he is going

now some attention is passed over to the house, where republicans are expected to gain control. if you have one house that is republican one houses, that's democrat. you have one house that can block the initiatives of the other house. and so what it requires. is that the president, the president, joe biden has to work with republicans. but there's just no doubt about that. if the house goes to republicans president biden and senate majority leader chuck schumer praised the victories in the senate, saying those races were won simply because democrats had better candidates than republicans. who are always angry and divisive, many of them embrace the big lie. and really get made. people feel that they were not supporters. of the right thing in a democracy that they were trying to undermine democracy, often led by donald trump. so when it comes to that georgia runoff, experts say it's still important to watch if the senate is still split. 50 50, aka have herschel walker wins that seat that keeps republicans within range to pass legislation. they support. of course, we won't know the results of that election until at least december 6

i congratulate leader mccarthy on republicans winning the house majority and am ready to work with houseof the president's paper statement just out reacting to the news of the moment. but, obviously, a new reality for this white house dealing with a house speaker that will be a republican. house majority that will be controlling the gavel of all the relevant committees. we will see what kind of oversight they decide to pursue, including potentially about biden some of the business dealings of the president and his family but plenty of other issues on the republican agenda as well, looking at the border and other major crises facing this country and so, the president now reacting to the reality that there will be a republican speaker and a republican controlled house going forward, bret. >> bret: thank you, mike. byron, you know, you forget about when the handover happens all of those committee chairs change. and we have heard earlier from maxine waters who was scheduling all kinds of hearings upcoming if not the ftx situation that will not be maxine waters in the next congress. >> no. an

>> house republicans are going to win the house. nancy pelosi will be fired. kevin mccarthy will be speaker. there's zero excuse why all of the national media has not called the house for house republicans. >> sean: we appreciate it, mike. good job. thanks for being with us. joining us now, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich is with us. one thing that puzzled me. you said something that every model you've known has been thrown off this election. we weren't supposed to pick up seats in 2020. we picked up 16, i think, in 2020. nobody expected that. here republicans win the 0 popular vote by about five million votes and picking up fewer than everybody thought but still getting a majority. your thought. >> well, first of all, the democrats were brilliant at targeting where to put resources. i talked two days ago with adam laxalt who said, you know, he was ahead and matching the democrat with advertising until two weeks ago. suddenly people decided he won, so they cut off his money. she outspend him three to one the last three weeks. look at some of these ke

house republicans, house freedom caucus to stand and say we're done with this, we are done with the cartel speaker, the peace time speaker. we want real change. we actually want to save the country in this late hour, and we want someone else. >> does he seem to have a grip on what the real problem is here, matthew? >> well, i think there's been a question about grip on reality for the last few years. this is like a manufacturer saying we're losing money on every widget. what's the answer? make more widgets. that's the problem in this case. and i'll give you two scenarios in the house elections, if the republicans win by three seats which i know what nbc is projecting in the course of this, is that that is such a bare bones minimum that we could see the house change hands based on vacancies multiple times in the next two years. think about that. multiple times. because there's only a three-seat margin. the other thing that i think sometimes we are neglecting to say is there's six or seven republicans who won in biden districts. those six or seven republicans know they can't win in a general

republican primaries for the house. "washington post" estimates that two-thirds of the entire republican conference in the house in januaryew house, two-thirds, will be election liars, election deniers. that's a crisis. when it's an unsaleable position with independents but mandatory position with your most committed base voters. the republicans have to break the fever. but believe me, the independents are done with the republicans and the election lies. >> everyone, thank you so much for joining us tonight. we appreciate your insights and analysis. >>> as we watch and wait for new vote counts that could tip control of the house to republicans, house speaker nancy pelosi says in a new cnn interview that any decision to run to the leadership of the democrats depends on her family and democratic colleagues. we'll ask one of those colleagues where he stands, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ so boredom makes my brain want food? noom weight helps you identify your habits, change them and realize when it comes to lasting weight loss... huh. it's psychological. noom weight. lose weight and make it last. finding my way forward with node-positive brea

house in both parties. the standing ovation would have been by every member of the house. the republican leader would have been leading the standing ovation on the republican side of the house. but not today. the republican minority leader of the house kevin mccarthy decided not to attend nancy pelosi's 13 minute speech. that's all it would have cost, and 13 minutes. because he was meeting with donald trump speech writer and policy advisor specializing in stephen miller. historians will find many ways to note kevin mccarthy's personal contribution to the collapse of basic human decency on the republican side of the house of representatives. but to close waters of the house, kevin mccarthy's refusal to attend speaker pelosi speech today is yet another law for the very low kevin mccarthy. here is some of what the republican minority leader of the house, bob michael, said that the unveiling of legendary democratic speaker tip o'neill's portrait in the final days of tip o'neill's speakership. >> you know, we resist a republican conference this morning out of respect for the office of the speaker and to pay our personal respects to the retiring speaker and his wife. several week

house republicans because ultimately the margin in the house for republicans is so narrow that they probably can't pass anything with only republican votes. as much as kevin mccarthy wants to sort of rail against the administration he probably doesn't have the votes to do that and, of course, the senate is still controlled by democrats. this is probably a fight they want to avoid and knows it won't work out in the end. one of the thorny issues and a continuing resolution or omnibus is the issue of ukraine which, of course, wasn't talked about a lot today but senate republicans sort of overwhelmingly still support a lot of funding for ukraine and have generally backed the administration's position. kevin mccarthy is talking about not writing blank checks. you have some more extreme house members, republican house members saying they don't want to send money at all or to significantly curb it. that's just an untenable situation to deal with and most of the people at the table don't want this issue to come up in a couple off months. >> this was a fascinating snapshot at what a mccarthy/mcconnell leadership will look like in the future. mcconnell with specific ideas about how to govern and get things done, he is not somebody who, for example, thinks a government shutdown is a productive way to do business and knows if they put it off, if they end up doing something continuing, you heard nancy pelosi say if we do that it will be a year long, right, mccarthy is talking about a matter of months, that puts a lot of power potentially in the house -- the hands of house republicans in terms of threatening a government shutdown that would be removed from him if they can, in fact, get the budget done. mcconnell knows the power that comes with the appropriations process and gettin

house that's been preparing for all of that for months now. they are also lookings at the fact that this is a house republican majority that's going to be the narrowest majority in the houseo while they will still have to face the subpoena power of this house republican majority, as slim as it may be, it does not change. there is a certain sentiment, that her giddy at the prospect of kevin mccarthy having to wrangle this narrow and oftentimes this very rowdy republican caucus to getting things done. but a number of challenges beyond the investigation that this white house now faces in terms of funding, the government adding issues like the debt ceiling, these are all things that president biden was warning about over the last several months. now it's a reality he will have to confront. lastly, wolf, i would just add president biden, as much as he has experience with a number of republicans on capitol hill, kevin mccarthy is not one of them. he is, of course, the most likely person to become the next speaker of the house, he's someone who president biden, while they spoke last week, they have not had many dealings with. but you can be sure they'll have to sped much more go

house, already the caucus laying out its priorities for the next congress which include aggressive investigations into the biden administration. >> rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse will be the primary goal of a republican house oversight committee. >> reporter: house republican leader kevin mccarthy has received his party's nomination to become the next speaker, though it's unclear if he'll get the required 218 votes. in a statement, president biden called speaker pelosi the most hoof representatives in our history. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell said the impact of speaker pelosi's consequential and path-breaking career will long endure. anne-marie? >> elise preston in new york. thank you. >>> autopsies on the four university of idaho students murdered last weekend in an off-campus house are now complete. the county coroner says they were brutally stabbed to death with a large knife, and it comes as police continue to search for a suspect. christina ruffini has more. >> reporter: more than four days since the gruesome murders at a house off campus at the university of idaho the town of moscow remains in shock. the campus is deserted. the murders are still unsolved. this social media video shows two of the victims at a food truck hours be

you senate republicans using these midterm losses as ammunition against mitch mcconnell. on the house side, you have house republicans instilling doubts as to whether the house is top republican kevin mccarthy showed and could be speaker for publicans gain the majority there. all of this teeing up what is likely to be some very interesting closed-door leadership elections. >> our thanks to all are raw for live on capitol hill. we are gonna turn overseas to cambodia, where president biden is continuing his tour across southeast asia. today he met with the japanese prime minister and a south korean president to discuss the nuclear threat from north korea. that came out for the president's big may turn boost which he commented on earlier. >> congratulations to senator schumer. he has a majority. again always focusing now on georgia. feel good about where we are. and i know i'm a cock-eyed optimist. i understand that. but i'm not surprised by the turner. i'm incredibly pleased by the turnout. and i think it is a reflection of all of our candidates. they're all running on the same program. and anybody who woul

house races have been called for. republicans party needs 218 to control the house if republicans take control, california representative and house mine. your itty leader kevin mccarthy could be the next speaker of the house, but some say it might be a challenging path ahead for him. representative bob good from virginia says he may not back kevin mccarthy. mccarthy himself, though confident, moving forward okay. i'm not concerned. think about this. since i've been leader for the last four years. we've only gained seats. it's the goal of winning the majority. we won the majority across the country. republican voters continue to tell me and other members of congress and candidates that they don't support kevin mccarthy because he's not a true conservative and they want someone who will fight. it could take a while to pick a speaker. plus there is now a push by conservatives, conservative senators to postpone gop leadership elections until after the georgia senate runoff. here in the bay area. new numbers tonight from santa clara county shows. city council member matt mehan is maintaining his lead with about 51% of the vote. county

if there is going to be republican leadership and the house, the house republicans are going to have to figure something out. are we going to lean towards the marjorie taylor greene of the party that is very extreme, very strident, very conspiracy theory focused. or are they going to look at the new seats in places like new york where to keep them they will have to have a moderate agenda and work with the president. if you want to keep your majority, you have to take care of your moderates in the swing places. if you want to get had wings on redwing media, you go to conspiracy theorist. in a certain sense, this is going to be up to a potentially new house republican leadership, should they take the majority. host: let's get some of the callers in this conversation. let's start with chuck on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning, gentlemen. i finally got in to talk to jeff kessler. first thing i like to say is, biden did not win on anything. what have bidens candidates -- one of bidens candidates is the fact that the republican party did not offer anybody anything. th

is happy with gridlock because some of the -- especially really if it's republicans in the house and democrats in the white house because some of the less friendly, business-friendly incentives that the democrats have are going to be thwarted by a republican house so that's actually positive for the market obviously the most positive for the market is if the republicans take the senate as well, but it does look as if right now we could have the gridlock. and, again, that scenario typically is something that markets accept, and they accept it quite readily and then move onto the next issue for the market, which really is monetary policy. >> yeah. we've also seen some reports, unconfirmed reports about glitches at some polling sites how much would markets -- or how would markets react to even further uncertainty about the results? would there be kind of a referendum on results in the market >> you know, we're so used to that now, but i think they'll get through it you know, already this has been one where the other side is losing you'll say cheating has been going on, that the glitches are just really another form

republican house. if republicans do win the house, i think it's very possible for that to happen. >> the planet is faste. we are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator. >> reporter: the midterms happening at the same time as cop27, the largest climate change conference in the world. it brings together world leaders, policymakers, and activists. this year taking place in egypt. as conservatives are poised to take control of the house, few have included climate policy in their midterm platforms. but benji wants to help reverse that trend. can you tell me, what does it mean to have a conservative stance on climate policy? it sounds, when you first hear it, like, hold on, explain that, conservative stance on climate policy? please explain. >> we believe in nuclear energy. we believe in american leadership, because american economic growth is good for the world. if we can provide low-cost technology to other countries, that's a win. we believe in streamlining regulations that are unnecessary that put us in a place where we can't help fight climate change. and the goal would be,

houses of congress going to the republicans? bier? both of the houses of congress going to the republicans?— both of the housesouse — to the republicans? very good chance that the house of _ to the republicans? very good chance that the house of representatives - that the house of representatives will go to the republicans. can't say for sure of course, but the debate is really about how much. will it be a red ripple or will it be a red wave? the senate is not so clear. the republicans need to win one seat there in order to gain a majority, but the races, there's about a handful of races that will matter and they are very tight, some of them too close to call, so the jury of them too close to call, so the jury is out on that one. the voters are out on that one! {lilia jury is out on that one. the voters are out on that one!— are out on that one! 0k, barbara, thank you — are out on that one! 0k, barbara, thank you very — are out on that one! 0k, barbara, thank you very much _ are out on that one! 0k, barbara, thank you very much indeed. - are out on that one! 0k, barbara, i thank you very much indeed. barbara p

about whether or not democrats will try and get through a debt limit deal before republicans take over the house. the housethreatened to use that as a negotiating factor next year. we're not expected to hit the debt limit until later in 2023. the president has several key events. he's hosting the french president emmanuel macron for the first state visit of president biden's presidency so far. tomorrow before that he's heading to bay city, michigan, where he's hosting an event on touting the chips bill from earlier this year. that bill that invests in semiconductor chip manufacturing. he's highlighting their investments by a south korea based company in michigan in a partnership with the state of michigan. and then on friday the president bracing for the next jobs report to see where the direction of the economy is headed. so a lot on the president's agenda this week before republicans take over the house are going to be so important to determining the course of the next year. bianna and jim. >> jeremy diamond, we appreciate it. >>> joining us now, cnn political commentator errol lewis from spectrum news,

such an attack configuration what will it mean for the white house in any case if the house of representatives is now republicans to the white house be much more difficult because the white house simply will not be able to pass any laws through congress and usually when in the congress one party has a majority in the house of representatives and the other party is arsenate, then such a congress usually passes very, very few laws, because it is simply, especially in the last 10-12 years, the party simply the interests are so opposite, especially with regard to domestic politics, that it is not very difficult for them to agree on something, and the regulation of both chambers is such that in fact the majority controls everything, the minority cannot propose a bill that would be considered in conflict with the desire of the poor, so, for example, if in the house of representatives of the majority of the re station, they can accept everything they want there, you know everything, if they are in the majority, everything is not there, she simply can not consider what she accepts there, but even if even if we also assume the republicatio

democratic controlled white house and senate house republicans won't be able to pass party priority bills. republican strategist lisa sabmiller says if republicans do win the house, their priority will have to be messaging ahead of 2024. but she says even that will be a challenge with such a small majority. the party itself is so fragmented and so in a different place in the various factions. >> well, that was joe khalil reporting for us this morning. >> now, halfway across the world, president biden is sitting down with leaders of china. the meeting comes amid global tensions and competition between the u.s. and china. washington correspondent hannah brandt explaining what the 2 presidents are expected to talk about morning. anna. in a good morning. >> this is expected to be a really wide ranging meeting between these 2 leaders. and there are several contentious issues that president biden says he plans to address. >> on the sidelines of the g 20 summit in indonesia, president biden is meeting with chinese president xi jinping know asked for more time than any other world leader and doing well. you know me. but this is their first in-person meeting since presid

republican-held seat. when you look at the house of representatives right now, too, when you talk about surprise, kevin mccarthy is in deep trouble. >> yes. >> right now it looks like republicans will win the housewe have already got like a good portion of the republican house right now, the real conservative side of the house saying they want major concessions from ke kevin mccarthy. if he gives into those concessions to his own people, that means he has to give in to concessions to the more moderates as well. you are talking about a house representatives that will be dysfunctional. if youdiss -- dysfunctional now, they will be really dysfunctional. >> that's to become speaker. they have to get to 218 and then to govern it will be complicated. >> a lot more to discuss. at any moment we are expecting lots of new votes coming in from nevada. those votes tonight could potentially decide control of the united states senate. it is election night in america, continued. stay with us. that's why dove men body wash has skskin-strengthening nutrients and moisturizers that help rebuild your s skin. dove men+care. smoother, healthier skin with every shower. ♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living w

bills to show america where they stand for, knowing that republican control of the house means that they will never have those votes passed in the house. but what will republicans do in the house of representatives when they have control? what legislation will they pass that america will support? the repeal of social security that republican senator rick scott talked about? the repeal of medicare that senator scott talked about? he said he would repeal and replace them, just like the republican promise with obamacare. will the republicans in the house be able to assemble a majority to pass anything? that isn't out tonight, because the republican majority is going to be so tiny. it is going to include some of the very craziest people who have ever served in federal elective office in the history of this country, and those crazy people will have power in this republican house of representatives because of the tiny majority. as we've seen with the united states senate, every member of the majority have power. last year for democratic senator was unwilling to vote for something, then it was stuck. that will now be the problem and house of

republicans have secured the majority of the house of representatives for the next two years. it will be senate republicans great pleasure to partner closely with and serve alongside the new republican house. i want to congratulate the soon to be speaker mccarthy and all the new and returning members of congress across the capitol whose elections will be transforming the people's house from a reckless rubber stamp into a sorely needed check and balance. the composition of the new house demonstrates that fatigue and exhaustion with reckless and radical far left policies is not just limited to so-called red or purple states. new republican congressmen and women have been hired by their neighbors, even in deep blue states like new york and california. even further evidence that when the american people get an unmuddled look at the common sense conservative vision on the issues, they like what they see. so i look forward to working with our house republican colleagues, new and returning, in the years to come. now on a related matter the capitol may be preparing for the next congress but hard working americans are still being hurt every day by the reckless party line spending that democrats ra

capture that diversity. >> alyssa, after cnn has projected that republicans will control the house. the first news conference from houseepublicans is telegraphing their investigation of hunter biden. they ran on the trinity of the eco economy/border crime. why is that first? >> well, listen, it's totally not meeting the moment. the voters were very clear they want government that works. that's why we have a split government now. and they wanted the gop to resonate those that were those that you mentioned. but listen, this is a lot about kevin mccarthy getting his speakership in the house. the fact if he can't get 218 votes if he didn't cater towards the 30 most in his space within the house republican caucus, and those folks want to see this. they think that the top priorities are investigating hunter biden. which, by the way, i would note, he's already under investigation by the department of justice so the notion that is using taxpayer resources to do is just absurd from a conservative standpoint. i think this is going to back fire in 2024. they need to be focusing on kitchen table issues. >> alyssa farah griffin, na

you had put together for the house, and now you've got, what, the most black republicans since reconstruction in the house, you've got the most jewish republicans in the houseover 20 years, the most hispanic republicans in the house many history. you're winning and yet you're still getting attacked. [laughter] will you be able to get that gavel? >> well, i was honored to be nominated by the conference and win that vote inside the conference. now we have to go to the floor. you're right, maria. when you look at the last four years when we first came in, we had less than 200 members. and in the last two the cycles, the house republicans have overperformed the rest of the ticket. we have won both cycles. and the unique thing is we set a goal, and i've said it many times on your show, to stop the biden agenda, win the majority and fire nancy pelosi. we have just achieved all three of those. now, our majority we would have liked to have been higher, but they lost in the senate, they lost the governors, the statement thehouse, but in the house of representatives we won the majority. it's not the size of the gavel, it's the power of the gavel, of who holds it. we'

but the latest polls show that it really does look like a republicans will sweep out the house of reputation, the house of representatives, and possibly the senate as well. and what would republican control of one or both chambers of congress mean for president joe biden's agenda clear would mean a host of trouble for president biden. that's pretty clear. i mean, the high point of his presidency so far has been the inflation reduction act. i mean, this was this legislation that was passed narrowly, and it was hailed by the biden administration as a landmark bill that would reduce prescription drug costs, also boost clean energy investment in clean energy, reduce us emissions. and the republicans a said if they take control of congress of both houses, they would repeal the inflation reduction act. so that would mean a completely different agenda on energy policy. and the by the administration has really prioritized climate protection. the republican said they're going to prioritize oil and gas providers on top of that. republicans, i've also said they would do everything they can to stop the white house
