so joe mccarthy ended upin the hall of fame . they ended up five hall of famers eeplayed in the bethlehem steel league. motley crew but lotsof influential people . so he won the championship on september 14, 1918. ended up getting gold watches that eugenegrace, the president and his shortstop gave them . once again not from the globe articles but from the archives, steelworkers archivesbethlehem. in 1918 , bethlehem steel wants to news that a newsletter called the bethlehem booster. rank and evfile, keep workers interested and every issue carries a story about the bethlehem steel league and i found out about grace getting gold watches tohis players . i also found out he got a picture of sam fishburn in his bethlehem steel uniform and they ran a profile of sam fishburn and said not only is he a great shortstop and hitter but he's an excellent accountant who also writes poetry. that's the sort of news we want to know.so sam had a really goodseason . he finished second to shoeless joe and stolen bases . he was first in sacrifice ehi

his research so dangerous that it's secretly placed him on a trans blacklist transb thank you, joe mccarthy, whichlk prevented his tweets from trending . dr. bhattacharyya will join us exclusively in just a few moments. will jos now, remember, we jusr a few weeks back that this was l all occurring at the same time, dr. anthony foucheoccurrin, hise daughter, worked as an engineer at twitter. and other names listed by weiss include prominent conservative such as charlie kirk and dan bongino since angle is pretty much the first nationalna platform to slam the lockdown's, i suspectionalta my own name will pop up on someo suppression list eventually. i hope so. during the spring of 2020, i myself notice and i believee i said it on the angle that the reach of my own tweets seemed to be oddly declining. but frankly, i think it was thik obvious to all of us .ions and one of the many questions lingering tonight is whether there was any contact between public health officials and twitter execs that encourage censorship of course ,for public safety. of course, when any ofs or us questioned big tech'ss

where the dnc targeted the and i will quote the immortal words of joseph welch when you attack joe mccarthy for the enemies list he had at long last, or have you no shame?sident yes. president biden, all of targident biden, all of the dnc who have targeted american citizens. have you, mr. president , havef all of you at large ? n no shame. yeah.'t hav and of course,e the answer is no. they don't have shame. b g thatbut we will be following . >> and there may be more which clearly they were fixated on you, which i hope you takemeb as a compliment. buutt also propel us forward to bring justice. pay. it i think it is a compliment, but, you know, it's a big price to pay. career of fun. i , i love my career. w for fifty years. i was happy to be an award winning and honored and appreciated actor. took and i missit my career and peope suffer from me and not paypric a price later in my life, you know, but i have to say, i amin not going to take it sitting down. i think people are vermin for people a let's not talk about me fo a moment. let's talk about the simpl individualr who put out a twee . non

joe biden. his net approval lading is minus eight. boy or like hakeem jeffries, his rating is -- kevin mccarthy is considerably worse condition with thee in the electorate that either had could team jeffries or joe biden. the fact, is kevin mccarthy in today's day and age, for someone that's not well known. it is quite unpopular. >> wow. what else have you been doing lately? >> what also i've been. doing i'm crunching the numbers. i went into my archive. that's where i found -- i was so surprised at how weak the numbers were. and, remember kevin mccarthy tried to become speaker in the mid 2010s. and he couldn't get the votes. and this is another example. paul ryan came and save the day back. than but at this particular point, all the republicans in our leadership who could replace some have gone audios, amigos, goodbye. -- smoking cigars on the golf courses. paul ryan's like, thank autumnal under. they're kevin mccarthy's alaska malik. ends and at this point, we see a good reason for. that it's really hard to get 200 -- amongst republicans. it's a party that's divided. >> harry enten, we appreciated. still more to come tonight. kari l

if you compare to someone like joe biden, his net approval rating is minus 8 points. hakeem jeffries, minus 2 points. kevin mccarthy is considerably worse condition with the people in the electorate than either hakeem jeffries or joe biden. the fact is, kevin mccarthy, at least in today's day and age, for someone who's not that well known is quite unpopular. >> wow. what else you been doing lately? >> what else have i been doing late i did? i've been crunching the numbers. i went into my roper center archive earlier. i was so surprised how weak the numbers were. kevin mccarthy tried to become speaker in the mid 2010s, right? and he couldn't get the votes. and this is another example of paul ryan came in and saved the day back then. but at this particular point, pretty much all the republicans who are leadership who could replace him have gone adios amigos. john bainer spoking cigars. kevin mccarthy is kind of the last of the mohicans. we see a really good reason for that. it's hard to get 218 votes among republicans. it's a party that is very much divided at this point. >>> still more to come tonight kari lake lost

joe, what is kevin mccarthy doing? another hot stove thing?is, david ignatius, there they go again. they learned absolutely no lessons from what has happened to them in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022. and instead making all of these decisions and mistakes that a small house majority, that democrats will be able to use effectively against them over the next two years and into the 24 election. but mccarthy instead of trying to play to voters that they keep losing, by talking about taxes, by talking about balanced budgets, by talking about regulatory, whatever republicans want to talk about to get those suburban voters back. they're doing these extreme things, virtue signaling, talking about investigating the investigators. it was a disaster for durham. it will be even worse for these people. and defending, coming out and demanding justice for the january 6 rioters and insurrectionists. these are the very people who lost the suburbs for republicans. who lost the 22 election for republicans who are lost the 2020 election for republicans. who los

the other two, you'd have to say was joe mccarthy and the watergate investigation.un and demonstrable in terms of the issue. and trump's criminality and sedition as can be imagined. so the real question is what is the justice department going to do? my information, people i've talked to, bob has talked to some, is they are go toward indictments. i don't think there's any question about that. but what is different here is this committee has made the department of justice's role easier. because the evidence is so unequivocal, and also people have watched these hearings. they may be divided between trump supporters and his enemies, as it were. but people have watched, they're paying attention. and in fact, the ground is shifting under trump. we know that. politically, to some extent. still has a huge movement, but that, too, makes it a little easier for the justice department. when they see that republican senators, both privately and publicly, are starting to abandon trump. >> right. >> so, we have all of these factors at once. >> of course, watching congress and the

. >> kevin mccarthy asked joe biden to go to the border with him, being the president, would not commit, as senators kyrsten sinema and to many phyllis pushed bipartisan immigration deal for protection with new border security money, joining the conversation dagen mcdowell mark tepper, dagen i guess at this point would i take a stand if you are a republican law enforcement take a stand don't agree to one more cent of anything until you have money going to the border, to protect and back ur border agents for trying hard to keep this border secure but impossible, five million people apprehended on joe biden's watch, two years, later. >> it is not a stunt to care about border communities. there are burdened in every imaginable way, by this -- mass illegal migration of people across the the open border. open solely because that is the policy from biden and company. it is not a stunt to care about the illegal migrants, the women being raped, not a stunt to care about the children who are being put in harm's way, who some of whom drowned, not a stunt to care about the illegal migrants dying a

zelenskyy shows up, gives speech, and joe biden is sitting shoulder to shoulder with zelenskyy as he should be, looks down the other end of pennsylvania avenue, sees kevin mccarthy having his strings pulled on foreign policy by marjorie taylor greene. imagine what joe biden thinks about that. >> yeah. i mean, just degrading. we the way, leader mccarthy has not been on this show in quite a few years. we'll have to check our records. >> all good. >> very good. the thing is we have a 17-second delay so i'm just going to take it here, john. but thank you so much for being on. again, the stupidity -- i'm sorry, it's just stupidity of republican members in the house saying, oh, you know what, let's put this off till we're in power when they're going to have to pass a massive omnibus bill regardless. they're, like, saying oh, no, no, no, we don't want this on the democrats' watch, we want to do it on our watch. we want to take the blame for this. we want our base to look at us and see that we passed this massive omnibus bill. i've been through this a few times. it is an unbelievably stupid play, but my god, you look how republicans have been playing the game of politic

moran, senator roger marshall, catherine c karen c berg, and shock for joe, from the american earhart foundation. leaders mccarthycconnell. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, the honorable kelly, governor of kansas >> good morning everyone. i am so delighted to be here, honored. at asha -- to the stars through difficulty. that is the kansas state motto. a recognition that kansas came into the union as a free states, where there was fierce opposition. the spirit of kansans propelled them to beat the odds, and accomplish much. who better to represent our great states, and statuary hall, then dwight d. eisenhower. now, a native daughter of kansas, a millionaire heart. i want to extend my gratitude to our congressional leaders, and our kansas delegation for the opportunity to honor one of kansans most iconic figures. a woman who showed all of us what it means to reach for the stars. amelia earhart was born and raised in acheson kansas, a small town overlooking missouri river. from an early, age amelia was a dreamer. her dreams went far beyond the banks of that river, and far beyond the prescribe gender roles of her tim

we spoke with kevin mccarthy, the gop leader, who just reported a moment ago that he was able to get joeft the vaccine mandate for the military. the gop leader, mccarthy the, told me that this will be in the ndaa which will drop next week. i mow you've been talking about this mandate for the military. your reaction. >> well, i am so happy that he did that because i said if they did a mandate like this, i thought it was treason when you can leave america unsafe. our military's our strength, and i believe in strength through peace. and i think because joe biden and raphael warnock, we lost our strength around the world. and i'm so glad that leader mccarthy did something like that because we've got to have the all the strength. but you see how they try to suppress everything the people on the right is doing. that's the reason i tell people you've got to get involved. this is about the people of georgia, about the people of the united states of america. we got to get the government out because this is we, the people, not we, the government. maria: well, tell me about what's going on right no

sees a pathway to stay in the senate going the independent route, something like joe lieberman in the past. for kevin mccarthy, it is true there are a core of five republican members who are never kevin but there was a report this morning about how the republicans, who are not those five, are working to shore up kevin mccarthy and they are nothing but kevin carthy and the key is doing a good job of trying to make sure he has the vast majority of the publicans. he needs that -- majority of the republicans. he needs that to become speaker. host: jerry, publican line -- republican line. caller: i don't have any questions, just because i don't trust anything i hear on any news broadcast or any political talk or anything like that. when you have an illegitimate president and you have stolen an election from 100 million people and you want to know why there is no bipartisanship. how can you treat that many people and then go after your opponents and try to lock them up and smear them? another point is that i think the main problem with america is the media. i think if people turn their tv's off and there was no mor

on the republican side where mccarthy is not even sure he's going to be speaker, the joe manchin-like people within the house republicans that can block what mccarthy and the republican leadership want to do. >> absolutely. there is a four vote margin and i would say that in order to be unction on the republican party over on the outside, kevin mccarthy really needed 20 or 25, 30 extroverts. a very fractured republican house. if you get into july or september, the debt ceiling fight, it could very well be that in the beginning half of the year, it is not the speaker in the back half of the year based on what they've got coming. lisa: we started this conversation talking about the iphone. we haven't talked about who is going to staff up some of the production that we are on ensuring or near shoring. how much are you seeing that continued to percolate? some real policy would have to bring more people back to the labor force and train them for some very highly specified roles? >> i was just at lunch with a guy that you guys speak with all the time, and we were talking about exactly that,

will let's put our attention on the house for a second, joe, where you served there are six people, at the moment, running against kevi mccarthyaker of th house. there are often people who wil run knowing they're not goin to win, but in this particular case, six individual people ar running against kevin mccarthy they could prevent him fro getting the votes to becom speaker. what happens now none of the six people can actually gotten about to becom speaker themselves to people rally around them? does this get delayed an eventually mccarthy become speaker? what happens >> i think that, elie. i think the way this will play out, mccarthy will eventuall become speaker he is damaged goods. quickly, and what jen said mitch mcconnell is not a never trumper. mitch has been down this roa before it doesn't matter what mitch mcconnell says, the base of th party is not where mcconnell is ali, as the house goes, served in the house. the house of representatives represents the base of the party. much more so than the senate does and the base of the republican party is fully radicalized the base of the party is laure goldberg and marjorie ta

>> it certainly what they're aiming to do they want if kevin mccarthy does become speaker. senator joeanchin in the ho house. i think they're very comfortable with the fact that they're sticking it to the man and having the sort of situation but as you said in your introduction there are discussions about what happens if it's not mccarthy if democrats and moderate republicans start rallying around a more centrist pick that would be a worse option for the freedom caucus folks and someone told me they don't think that threat is real and that's not what i'm hearing if they're going to take mccarthy there could be another side of the party ready to fight. >> i'm sorry your christmas and new year will be spent following this while i'm watching college football but i will have you back close to the boat and we can talk about it again, ms. olivia beaver's, thank you so much. >> trade, thank you. >> joining us a brand-new member of congress, mr. george santos from the great son of new york. congressman elect thank you for joining us, it's nice to meet you. i do want to ask what issues propelle

if you back out to achieve what he wants to achieve, joe biden has been darn effective. if it wasn't for kevin mccarthy's part on the house side republicans would have had a bad, bad night. you have to start with reality. i have oo news letter coming out. republican live in fantasy land and do not confront of what they are up against. >> >> sean: thank you, mr. speaker mr. speaker. herschel walker was up by 11,000 votes now by deficit 21,000. big batch of votes from decab county got dropped. >> bill: i'll be showing a short time ago. watch the red and blue four weeks ago. very subable. these counties for walker four weeks ago. as of for tonight they flipped to blue what are they? baldwin county. sean, talking about this. just about all the vote in. 47 out of 159. sfoeks live there. not as purpose places. four weeks ago. see what is happening there? shawn a point here. that was four weeks ago, warnock flipped that. margins matter. they have a little bit of votes 90 out of -- warnock has that slight lead. if you go out throughout the state of georgia. walker has done slightly better. point here, two points

washingtons that stl i think it more likely, tate tan and it became backup plan if mccarthy can't get there. yes. snoo amtrak joe buden is now bucking the unions and a it too chuck did. >> reporter: what is the big content here? >> krus mass. you mean, look. of a rool strike causing a in a if and i think he just want to get a deal done because high feels and what's striking about this is labor has been somewhat quiet out there. they're not out there sort of jamming biden day in and day out so he's got some latitude on this. >> the house has passed these two agreements. one is for the sick paid leave about many and it doesn't seem like today they're going to automobile to find thos votes. >> can you talk to us about gavin newsom? >> i'd love it. there what. governor noose, some kind of in-bed with him in the fwft as wafing twr an am burns, a now government, frsh here he is in the big state in america, the based from so what newsom told me is, look, i'm not going to challenge biden, but p but he has conveyed to the white house very collect dlim, deemploy me out therei f and biden will need, will need people on the

gains for the senate and governor's races even though it's a midterm year and joe bide chn is in the whit house. leader mccarthys facing strong resistance from some members of his own party in his effort to win the speaker's gavel while donald trump who many say is largely responsible for many of these losses has announced another run for the white house so where does the republican party go from here? joining us now for an exit interview of sorts is fred upton from michigan retiring after 18 terms in congress. thanks for being here. >> yeah. good to be with you. >> there are a lot of people out there that don't want you to retire. >> been hearing from some all around the country. >> they think it's a bad omen for politics because you're bipartisan and work across the aisle, for the kind of republican you are, kind of like a gerald ford republican. >> i represent part of his old district. >> yeah. so do you think your retirement is for boding, for that reason, kind of like are we ending an era where bipartisanship is coming to a close or where your kind of rational republicanism is coming to an end? >> i sure h

they knew better but for them getting joe biden elected, that's what really mattered. now kevin mccarthy is promising to issue subpoenas to all 51 intel experts to find out exactly what role they play in censoring the scandal along with big tech as we've been discussing just weeks before the 2020 election. other top republicans have prepared to issue criminal referrals in the hunter biden probe if warranted. that did not stop hunter from walking up to kevin mccarthy and his mom at a state dinner earlier this month and say hello. it was nice of him. now despite a federal criminal investigation, a forthcoming house investigation, and the legitimate claims about public corruption, hunter is always popping up at official white house events. and this is because hunter and the spire biden family believed they're untouchable. they think they're above the law. and now they're flaunting it, or at least that's how they're trying to come across in public. in reality, the biden camp seems rattled. the legal team is reportedly in a state of disarray and the new political war room wreaks of death prag

maria: yep, real quick kevin mccarthy told me that he was able to convince joe biden, to reverse then the military is that in nbaa this week. >> i along with -- 20 other republicans i think it is said we should not go forward with nba until amended to say you will not be kicked out you will be reinstated if kicked out for not taking the vaccine. >> how about not agreeing to anything until he money goes to the border? how about not siding with democrats at all, until actually the border is secure? we don't have a million gotaways we don't have five million people crossing the border on joe biden's watch illegally? >> we've got to start standing up for what we ran on secure border lower crime, less inflation, okay, take care of military don't have a lethal military, stand up for things. >> senator thanks very much for weighing in on all that we so appreciate your leadership thank you, sir. senator rick scott in florida, this morning, markets had been tumbled while talking down 172 on dow. we'll be right back. . ♪ . ♪ . supply chain was? i am serious a phrase i starts talking supply cha

joe, you're exactly right. news flash to marjorie taylor greene and kevin mccarthy, the tactics you have been using, the rhetoricg. joe, you talked about this time and time again on this show. republicans have lost consecutively since 2015. every cycle has gotten worse. 2022 was not a good midterm cycle for them at all. historically a bad midterm cycle, and it doesn't seem like they're getting the memo. you have marjorie taylor greene using this crazy divisive dangerous rhetoric because you mentioned making lewd comments, pornographic comments. this is not what the american people told elected officials, politicians in washington that they wanted in the 2022 midterms. they told elected officials we want government to work. we want an effective and efficient government that's fighting for us that is working on the policies that matter to our american families. this is not what they stood for, and look, you know, i heard you guys talk earlier about president biden's numbers going up. his approval numbers going up significantly over the past few weeks. a lot of that has to do with the fact that americans are lookin

clear that the radicals on the right are going to be responsive to mccarthy, schooley's or whomever becomes speaker. alix: part of what joeo talking about is the infrastructure democrats started to get when it comes to georgia which they did not necessarily have four. what can the democratic party take away from that? what does the republican party take away? matt: what you sow both in georgia or -- and nevada, where democrats won a closer senate race, there is also a machine there that harry reid had built. the stacey abrams machine in georgia is a nervously powerful. turnout is everything in politics. getting people to come out even in a weird runoff election in early december, now the warner team has done that four times, which is remarkable. democrats need to learn that lesson and make sure we have machines like that in every swing state. alix: is the worst case scenario for the democratic party that trump goes away? matt: you could make the argument that tom has been differed democrats, but i would not say that trump going away would be bad because he is a cancer on our country. it is important to excising that cance

mccarthy. this is donald trump. these are senior u.s. republican senators. >> joe, you know better than i do, i'm not the expert on america, but i would say a couple of things. it's shocking to me. it's historically unprecedented. i don't ever remember one party or the other praising stalin or kruschev during the cold war. we had policy differences about what to do in terms of winning the cold war, but we never went out of our way to praise those that were our enemies. and i see no difference between mr. putin today and the cold war. but i am deeply disturbed by what you just said. you know, you have people saying those things, and you have people saying things that are just factually untrue about president zelenskyy in those same circles. they sound exactly like the propagandists on russian television. i watch those stations so you don't have to, the russians one. it's exactly the same thing. >> fascinating that people on the far right, ambassador, we used to call those people who would always apologize for the soviets useful idiots. they have become the useful id

when joe biden fills out his cabinet, it's the senate that will deal with that. likely as we see kevin mccarthythe gavel. tom: annmarie hordern torrance joins us, what is the best outcome? >> this is in the need to have but it's a nice to have when it comes to the advanced ability on committees and make sure they are getting their individuals and candidates through. you have to look at 2024, he expects the president make an announcement to run. 2024, the republicans have to defend 10 seats as opposed to the democrats 24. it will be crucial to have this seat for the next six years. lisa: you mentioned john mclean potentially announcing his run. is there any pushback for him to anoint as successor even where he is in the polls and where he is in his career? >> coming off the midterm election he has abused. they lost the house but it was slim. this keeps republicans and check and they will have to work in a bipartisan way. this was the better outcome for the president which is why he feels that he has this momentum to be able to run. president trump already announced his intention to run. likely,

but for them, getting joe biden elected, well, that's whatw really mattered. now, republican leader ikevin mccarthy, he's promising to issue subpoenas to all fifty one intel experto als to r out exactly whatol role they played in censoringwe'v discandal along with big tech. as we've been discussing just weeks before the twenty twenty election, other top republicans are prepared to issue criminal referrals inof the hunter biden probe. if w warranted. g up but that did not stop hunter from walking up to kevin mccarthy and his mom at a state dinner earlier this monthim. and sa y hello.l crimin that was nice of them. despite a federal criminal forth coinvestigation, a forthcoming house investigation and the legitimate claims about public corruption, hunter is always popping up a thofficial white house events. and this is because hunter and the entire family believereo that they're untouchable. they think that they are abovevt the law and now they are t leastng it, or a that's how they are trying to come across in public. in reality, the biden campcamp s seemees rattled. ported hunter's legally team is

mccarthy is right. first, take a look at the past two years. joey pelosi never asked our input on anything. at this point now that we're in a lame duck session, we're going have divided government, there shouldn't be major deals cut because the american people have now spoken. what we need to do is do whatever we need to do to get across the spending line and the new year. let the house speak its will by the voters of the people on the spending priorities and other priorities. see what the senate comes up with, see what the white house wants to do and go from there. >> i hear you on that. you're talking about the calendar. a lot of people say if the people spoke, as you put it, you want to line up and get the gavels and go from there. let's be clear, the people did speak in our system and put in a republican house, but it was not nearly the wave republicans had talked up, nor does it match what people call underperforming, right, given what's happened in the last midterm cycles like this. and finally the news this week out of georgia where you were

. >> john, i want to move on to the fight that kevin mccarthy is having but give you an opportunity to respond. >> look, nobody criticized joethe democratic party when he was fighting for the crime bill that many considered racist. as far as hunter biden -- >> he's come out and talked about the mistakes he made and his new thoughts on that. >> no one on the republican side hears about unhunter biden but >> do you care about the constitution? >> financially was gained by his relationships with other countries. >> yeah. >> that's the real question. >> all rules and regulations should be terminated. maybe we don't care. that's what donald trump is running on. so i'm just throwing that out there but let's table this. >> true. >> let's move on to, karen, i want to know about this is interesting to ask a democrat about the fight that kevin mccarthy is having for leadership. do you think that democrats have some leverage with kevin mccarthy in that they could extract some deals in order to win their vote in case he doesn't have enough votes in, say, the freedom caucus? >> sure, i mean, look, they could certainly try that behind the

votes including moving closer to impeaching joe biden, promising investigations of hunter biden, but this notion of embracing violent insurrection, this is on mccarthy to both of you. and the remains of grant wahl are back in the u.s., arriving in new york today. the 49-year-old collapsed and died in qatar while reporting on the world cup on the match between argentina and the netherlands friday night. his wife, dr. gal ender, well-known infectious decide specialist and part of the biden covid advise board, writing on twitter, i am in complete shot. secretary of state blinken tweeting i so appreciated grant wahl whose writing captured not only the essence of the beautiful game, but the world around it. i send my deepest con dole senses to the family -- he made headline last month when he was detained last month for wearing a rainbow shirt to a match in a show of solidarity to the lgbtq incident. i spoke with him at the time. >> you were told by soccer officials that wearing a shirt with a rainbow flag would not be a problem. take us through what then happened. >> yeah, that was ahead of the tournament when fifa and u.s. soccer officials told them th

sees a pathway to stay in the senate going the independent route, something like joe lieberman in the past. for kevin mccarthy is true there are a core of five republican members who are never kevin but there was a report this morning about how the republicans, who are not those five, are working to shore up kevin mccarthy and they are nothing but kevin carthy and the key is doing a good job of trying to make sure he has the vast majority of the publicans. he needs that -- majority of the republicans. he needs that to become speaker. host: jerry, publican line -- republican line. caller: i don't have any questions, just because i don't trust anything i hear on any news broadcast or any political talk or anything like that. when you have an illegitimate president and you have stolen an election from 100 million people and you want to know why there is no bipartisanship. how can you treat that many people and then go after your opponents and try to lock them up and smear them? another point is that i think the main problem with america is the media. i think if people turn their tv's off and there was no more te

joe, on the other side, a tense relationship that hakeem jeffries has with republicans. nia talked about him quoting biggie smalls. what is your sense of his working relationship with mccarthypossibly other republicans? he was known for having other relationships with close conservative doug collins -- doug collins. asma: there's questions about whether he will even be speaker. the biggest question is what they will be able to achieve. i have been talking to a bunch of people, sources at the white house, and there's a sense that a lot of what is going to happen over the next couple of years is very limited legislation. a lot of what hakeem jeffries is going to be able to do is i think somewhat symbolic in terms of establishing democratic priorities and creating a really clear contrast, a really clear foil for the democrats to take into 2024. they two have not had that the last years -- they have not had that for the last two years. yamiche: i wonder about the potential for this to become en more complicated for him. michael: thanks for having me on here. excited to be here with a talented group for the first time on the show. you know, kevin mccarthy has some problems on hi

can't stand watching conservatives, like kevin mccarthy was doing this weekend, speaker of the house -- talking about how this is about the first amendment. joeas not in elected office. he was a candidate. what his team, according to the matt taibbi files -- i think it is -- the pictures provided were pictures of his sons penis. their parents have the table. people of rome the office pits before it was not about the 10% for the big guy. speech to the link i saw was about hunter biden's junk. >> greg: don't hide behind his junk. [laughter] >> jessica: i don't know how big it is. how could i? [laughter] the trump campaign was admitted to have been asked for campaign moderation, and then he left those links out. why not tell us what the actual government asked to have taken down when you are telling us what joe biden's team -- that is a violation of the terms of service. that is someone pinging someone at twitter and saying "this is revenge porn. >> he tried to lead an insurrection! >> jesse, please reveal everything you were going to say. [laughter] >> jesse: i'm not there yet. we know that this was not a free and fair election, that they were

we know that mark zuckerberg was on joe rogan saying they were also reached out to by the f.b.i. >> bill: you have a new conscious. kevin mccarthy was talking about that issue over the weekend. >> now we need to start looking at facebook, at google. these now have become arms of the democratic party. arms of the biden administration. but they also used the intel community as well to lie to the american public. should those people keep their clearances and still be allowed to have information? >> bill: let's see what they do with hearings. we've been here before and they pretty much went nowhere out of washington. >> what kills me is the buried lead in the original tweets. all the members of congress saying this is the last straw. you can't censor the free press. we'll do something and then nothing happened. that was two years ago. nothing has happened. a couple of hearings. i know some senators screamed at jack dorsey and good youtube videos but nothing happened. i hope now in a republican congress we might start to see real teeth. >> dana: i think of the 51 national security people that signed onto this idea it was russian disi

more of an adult than kevin mccarthy and more of a spine and he had a terrible time difficult for joeehner on the brink of government shutdown and tougher now for kevin mccarthy to navigate this and biden to get stuff done and it is going to be chaos i would say with that threat of the speakership getting stripped from him always going to be one mean tweet from greene being pulled away from him. >> making the relationship with mitch mcconnell very, very difficult. >> they know they will have significant leverage going forward into the new congress. let's get an update from arizona where governor-elect katie hobbs and the state's most populous county filed sanctions against kari lake. a judge ruled against the bid overturn the election results. lawyers for hobbs and mare copa county asking for $25,000 from lake for attorney fees the paper work filed by the attorneys paints a clearer picture. reading before a single vote was counted in the 2022 general election kari lake publicly stated that she would accept the results only if she were the winning candidate. the filing reads and then c

joe has always said nobody f's with a biden. and at the state dinner earlier this month when hunter spotted speaker kevin mccarthy, you know, theuy investigating hunter, hunter went right up to mccarthy's mom and introduced himself. tried laying down some of that famous biden charm. i have seen hunter's videos, i wouldn't want him anywhere near my mom but, you know, hunter is telling the world he is done hiding. he is untouchable now. and now hunter is doing something we have never seen before. he is going on offense. over the weekend "the washington post" also reported that biden allies held a secret meeting to plan off how to fight these republican investigations. you remember hunter's sugar the hollywood lawyer who paid over 2 million? according to hunter's team they need to be more aggressive. he talked about suing fox, me for covering the laptop story. and the lawyer reportedly dug up dirt on the repairman who gave the laptop to the and tony busir who said to the. this is warning shot. keep your hands off hunter. don't touch a hair on his head. they don't want any more witnesses coming forward. and they don't want this sto

to a point where the republican party unites and kevin mccarthy is going to be held to task to say look, i'm going to have to be tough against joe biden and push back against the democrat's radical agenda. >> john: does this play into the democrat's hand, republican majority much smaller than anticipated, now all of this in-fighting as well, they got control of the congress but can not control their conference. >> i think it's partly kevin mccarthy. he did not get it the last time he sought the post, at that point it went to paul ryan, and what you see here i think is a radical elements in the party and sometimes people are slow to acknowledge this, but don't want to get along and see their advantage, leverage saying i'm more conservative or trumpian than you are, and mccarthy has gone out of his way to bring peace but evident what the conference will not be able to do even with the slim majority you referenced. are they going to pass a deal that continues the budget, i don't have it. they are literally as mccarthy said squandering an opportunity, they prefer the performance, the kind of radical right behavior that they think gi

it was clear mccarthy was placating marjorie taylor greene because he knew he would need those votes. what does joehink about that? what does this president think of a world in which republican foreign policy could be dictated by marjorie taylor greene? >> reporter: i'm thinking back ten years ago when you and i spent a lot of time on the road with then vice president biden as he was leading an underappreciated effort on behalf of the obama ticket to secure a second term. one line he would use as he was condemning the opponent at the time, mitt romney, was this is not your father's republican party. think of what he was saying back then ten years ago and compare that to what he thinks now about the republican party. mitt romney, who he was the lead attack dog in the campaign, has been one of the closest allies that this white house has had on the republican side of the i'll, at least an openness to work with them on foreign policy and domestic policy in some key areas. the rest of the caucus has just gone in a way that even the president has expressed publically his befuddlement what happened. this

went to joe biden in 2020, potentially impacting th narrow majority republicans ar slated to hold additionally, santos had pledged to vote for kevi mccarthyf the house next week, and as you well know, mccarthy is in a precariou situation right now, or yo might not have enough votes to win the speakership, and every little bit of support he can get can make a difference to him. rocking and house leadership failed to respond to comment for the new york times sincerely the story, the haven't released any store statements on the matter according to the paper, quote, privately house republican leadership has appeared to concede, and mr. santa's situation is problematic, an as justified a lack of publi condemnation and making th case that democrats have their own problematic members. republican party leaders o long island, however are being publicly critical of santo they've stopped short of calling for his resignation. republican chairman joseph carroll said in a statemen today. quote, he was deeply disappointed in congressma elect george santos adding tha santos is, quote broken th public trust by making myths statements about his background,

joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. now, i did ask him how he plans to cool with the republican-controlled house. if kevin mccarthy is the speaker and he's still working to get the votes on that, he is ready and willing to work with mccarthy, but republicans will have to give a bit and democrats will have to give a little. kate? >> lauren, thank you so much for that. so, the numbers, the margins, the democrats, who showed up to vote. what does it all tell us about warnock's victory. john, what do you see in that? >> first of all, rafael warnock, the margin is 95,000 votes. that's up quite a bit from what it was just one month ago in the november election. he led with 37,000 votes in november. now ahead by 95,000. let's see where he over-performed the general election. almost everywhere. warnock did almost better everywhere. let's look at it a different way, where did walker underperform? now, this is telling, right? what jumps out at you is this area here, right around atlanta. these are huge counties in terms of population. fulton county right here, that's 280,000 votes to 85,000 for herschel walker, and it was a
