it was john mccarthy in 1950s. it was civil rights protests and the vietnam or protesters in 1960. it was the war on drugs in the 1970s. it was the war on terror. after 2001 and most recently, it was the covid pandemic, maybe a brain worm. that part of my memory of. i don't recall any part of the united states constitution where there's an exemption for pandemics and. in fact, there's not. one of the amendments of the bill of rights preamble that says, except when officials choose to declare a public health emergency, they all say various simply a government shutdown are infringe on these rights. no matter what. if the government can take them away. well, they're not rights at all. it really just privilege is that are granted or revoked by an authority. is that the kind of country that you live in? and every time they suspend rights and then pretend to give them back again, establish a dangerous precedent, rights they give back are never quite as strong as the ones that they took away. obviously, it's not the piece of paper called the bill of rights that protects our freedoms. we h

you see john painter, gingrich, kevin mccarthy, former republican speakers of the republican speakers of the house. and, you know, they've got to be in there thinking bemaybe feeling some sense of relief that they don't have to deal with what mike johnson has to deal with. a look at some for if you're a republican, it's great. you have control of the house, the senate, the ifwhite house. but we are really starting to see some potential cracks. i think in that unity, you know, of course, we've seen that in the house with the debt ceiling debate speakership, debates, cetera. but tiktok going back to last night, senator tom cotton really hitting back against, you know, this reversal of the ban. so, you know, it's kind of i in many ways sort of foreshadowing what's to come there, bill, in inaugurations past, we re normally get the outside shot and it's more vast and you see this person speaking to that one and you got to wonder what they're all talking about, this go around. it's obviously different usbecause it's it's inside the capitol building, which is >> huge in its own right. but bu

i want to show you something kevin mccarthy said on fox news. he was talking about john fetterman, the senator from pennsylvania who has emerged as a particularly interesting figure in all of this. let's watch what he said. >> i think the democrats in the senate are going to vote for it. listen to fetterman. i mean, fetterman should be the leader of the democratic party if they ever want to win the majority again. >> don't give him any ideas. but that's a good point. >> but they are so out of touch. >> i would expect the democrats to talk like this a year ago before the election. have they not heard what the voters have said? >> so he's talking, of course, about immigration legislation facing the senate. there's the laken riley act, and there will also be some other things that move forward in a larger bill. but what do you make of how fetterman is positioning himself and pressure on democrats to potentially vote in different ways on this issue? >> yeah, i mean, i think as a lot of democrats are starting to realize, the 2024 election in as many ways, was a mandate on how

implemented with particularly the spending caps but also paul ryan had spending caps, john bainer had spending caps and kevin mccarthy'spending caps and one of the reasons the first cr blew up last month because they were waived. by point is it isn't debt ceilings or debt limits but it's spending caps that have to be enforced and that is where they should go? this big -- one big beautiful bill that's coming up. >> you have it half right, larry. it is true when newt gingrich came in we got spending caps and first balanced budges in 50 years when bill clinton was president and you're right, going back to the graham cuts and i talked to phil graham about that the other day and boasting that was the only time we cut the budget and even bainer cuts came and what you miss about this, larry, all of those reforms and using leverage of the debt sealing dealing with democrats. larry: no they didn't. no they didn't. >> that's what you're missing. larry: you're kidding yourself. stop. you know that's not true. >> they have phil graham on your show and he'll agree with me, larra larry. larry: you know that's not true. larry: i just

we are also told there will be a vip group and that would include kevin mccarthy and potentially house speaker johneither another former house speaker on the screen if we have the camera pulled up, quite a few vips and names that will see today. in the meantime their opening the hall which is a large room, they open that up for the spouses of the lawmakers next to their significant others. a lot of folks are filing in there as well including other people who had tickets i no longer be right in front of the president. they're trying to do the best they can and pack as many people into the capital as possible while giving all of us at home a peak of what's going on as well. more to come but everybody's getting comfortable in taking off their coats because it's a lot warmer in here. stuart: thank you very much indeed, you stay warm. moments ago i noticed jeff bezos and lauren sanchez arriving and walking into the building. trump is expected to sign around 200 executive actions today, stephen moore joins us, to be the most important executive order about energy and the export of natural gas, trump can

john boehner and newt gingrich and kevin mccarthy lining up to enter the rotunda for trump's inauguration. >> another reminder, kaitlan collins, that this is a celebration of america, for americans, in addition, i should note, dana bash, i'm told that there are a number of democratic governors that have also ordered flags to full staff today. kathy hochul out of new york, and the governors of washington state, colorado, and gavin newsom, california, as well. again, this is not about trump or biden. this is about the american people. >> can i just say about what caitlyn just reported on, on the gulf of mexico. this is not really something that trump can accomplish just by an executive order. the gulf of mexico has been named that way for literally hundreds of years. even before the united states was a country, actually. and it's internationally recognized. there are going to be other steps to this. i don't think that's stopping them from making these kind of symbolic executive orders. you could say the same thing about birthright citizen. the idea they want to end it, they know that's goin

gowdy host of sunday night in america and former federal prosecutor and andy mccarthy, a former assistant u.s. attorney and johnshington. andy, let's start with you, the supreme court said last night no, we're not going to delay. what was that about? >> a deeply divided opinion and i think the conservatives on the court would like to have heard or would like to have given trump the relief that he was seeking, which i think would have been better for the country. but on balance i think what happened is they've basically locked judge merchan into his commitment to issue a no-jail sentence. what they call an unconditional discharge. no jail, no probation, no fine, no anything. and they are allowing trump to appear virtually. so that answers the complaint that the imposition on the transition was too arduous. it is not going to be much of an imposition. trump doesn't want to be a convicted felon. as a formal technical matter the judgment of conviction gets entered once you get sentenced and what he has been trying to avoid. but at the same time democrats called him a convicted felon throughout the campaign and the

there's two former speakers, kevin mccarthy, john boehner, also behind them, newt gingrich, another former speaker with his his wife, callista, who is donald trump's, as you know, chris, ambassador to the vatican. let's go inside of the capitol right now to andrea mitchell, our chief washington correspondent. andrea, i'd like to talk to you about the pardons. but first, get to get into a little bit of who's going to be inside this room and what it's going to look like. the last time that this was held inside was 1985 for president reagan, and this time in the rotunda, of course, will be the families, the invited members of the house and senate. >> it's unclear whether the spouses of all of those house members, 435 house members, will be there because they were going to be sitting for the first time in the back of the reviewing stands on the west front, where i was supposed to be, where they were all supposed to be. they may not be in the rotunda itself, because there are 800 seats in the rotunda. it is very tight indeed. so there are going to be behind me in this what's called emancipation

the rotunda including as mentioned before former speakers of the house newt gingrich, john boehner, kevin mccarthy and then there will be several current and former leaders and officials who got that coveted hot ticket, and it is hot, at least warm, inside the rotunda. marked difference of what they had probably planned for when we thought it would be out as tradition has it on the west front of the capitol. >> we saw mitch mcconnell walking by a moment ago. these are the seats that everyone wants and there are only so many of them that have direct viewing of the inauguration now just a few hours away. let's bring in our senior white house correspondent garrett haake he is also on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. those seats in the rotunda got a lot hotter friday afternoon when social media tt this entire ceremony the part of it actually prescribed by the constitution would be moving indoors into the rotunda for the first time in 40 years. i'm glad you mentioned mitch mcconnell because the fact that the now former republican leader who has become something of a trump antagoni

former house speaker kevin mccarthy will be seated in the capitol rotunda and john boehner in there as waiting to get confirmation about that. someone kind of unlikely but we've seen the president reach out to in recent days is new york city mayor eric adams. he received a last-minute invitation this morning. his office did. i guess he got on a flight or train. he is headed down here now and will be in attendance inside the capitol rotunda. on that note they're reaching out to a democratic mayor, i was reading the excerpts of the remarks that the president-elect will give once he is sworn in and bill, you and i were reading this and he talks a lot about common sense. those words. those are the words used a lot recently by house and senate republicans as they push these bills like the laken riley act trying to reach out across the aisle. >> bill: okay. thanks, aishah. see you real soon from capitol hill. dana, we're about to see a moment here together. >> dana: what a beautiful shot of the white house. 1600 pennsylvania avenue, 18 acres there and the president-elect's motorcade is now u

john weiner. this happened to paul ryan. clearly, it happened to kevin mccarthypublicans revolted against speaker johnson just a few weeks ago. after he had cut a deal with akeem jeffries to continue funding the government. of course, there were a number of other policy provisions in there, so these are going to be some very difficult waters to navigate and add to the fact that the trump card, the trump call, clearly does not always work at the end of the last congress. again, just a few weeks ago, president-elect donald trump and elon musk, try to pressure house republicans to pass a suspension of the debt ceiling. almost 40 house republicans totally ignored that and said no. we refuse to do that at this point and, again, johnson had to go back and cut a deal with democrats, so this is a movie that we have been watching for a long time when it comes to house republicans. it is not just the last year or two. it has been happening for about a decade and until that group of house republicans understands that negotiation, compromise, is a natural part of u.s. politi

john boehner looks like he is enjoying time on the golf course. kevin mccarthy there who was i think the shortest-serving speaker so far, is that right? >> no, there are several who are -- >> dana: it didn't last long. >> temporary. >> one-day speakers. one of the problems with moving this inside is the 21 gun salute. my favorite part of it are the cannons. if we don't get the cannons today i will be disappointed. >> dana: i think we'll get the cannons. >> i meant to look it up. the only things you look up right now comes up eileen cannon. but usually they are stationed up there on the hill looking downward towards the mall and it is spectacular. >> dana: we're looking at a beautiful picture of the white house and the inside of the rotunda. hogan gidley is somebody we all know sent a note to me the cables were frozen on capitol hill this morning for the flag. but now that has been fixed so everything is in place, bill. we have somebody very special to talk to next. >> bill: we want to move away from the capitol and bring in bill melugin who is at the capital are

he's reverting to the john boehner playbook, which actually kept boehner in power for quite some time. kevin mccarthyaw what happens when you horse trade and when you try to cut deals with people who are more interested at times in blowing up the house of representatives , figuratively, than they are in governing. mike johnson has something, though, that kevin mccarthy never had, which mccarthy was seen as an establishment figure, as somebody from the before times of trump. mike johnson was an original freedom caucus member. he's seen as part of the right flank. he's an evangelical christian who's beloved with the base of the party, and i think that actually gets him pretty far. i mean, this conference will remembers the kevin mccarthy votes. they remember all the names that they put up, the jim jordans of the world and others who could not get to. 218 mike johnson is the sole figure in the house of representatives who can likely get to 218, but i think it's going to be a bit of a bit of a fight on the floor in the hours ahead. >> yeah, and go ahead, maria. >> i was going to say, you know, this also

john boehner. happen b to kevin mccarthy.t happened in october of 2023 after mccarthy was deposed and johnson was eventually elected. i don't think johnson was high and farming peoples list of whoo is going to be the new republican speaker after that happened. in some ways this is not unprecedented but for republicans to be going through this process repeatedly each time theyed need to elect a speaker i think does remind us just have fractured the conferences. >> host: we've heard people upset with my johnson baby not giving him a speakership but who have heard who would take his place? >> guest: it's not a lot. the name that freak lee comes up is jim jordan who he ran for speaker can post onea about a couple times and october 20? >> guest: after kevin mccarthy was removed from the speakership before mike johnson was elected. jordan got up to 200 votes and then his total started to fall. it doesn't seem like there's ground swelling. he has a lot of loyalty in the house republican conference ande doesn't have the infrastructur

they sent this letter october first 2014 to the epa administrator gina mccarthy in major to major general john peabody of the army corps of engineers resizing the trend and romance impact on small business. and, in fact, actually recommended the entire rule the withdrawn. now, that was apparently ignored, the rule continued forward. i'd like to know if you are confirmed as the administrator of the sba would you be willing to write a similar letter recommending this rule be withdrawn once again and reminding our new administrator of the epa of the damage it has done to small businesses, farmers and ranchers? >> thank you very much for the question. i would look very forward to working with you and the other senators, senator ernst and others who are were broughtp especially the issue of wotus. in fact, i think was senator ernst what i met with her who told me that if a small business in her state wanted to expand it would have to get approval from the federal government in order to do that. i clearly think that his overreach and i would look for to work with you and other members of the committ

john boehner. it happened to come in mccarthy. -- two kevin mccarthy.t happened after mccarthy was deposed in johnson was elected. i don't think johnson was very high on people's list on who was going to be the new speaker after that happened. and this is not unprecedented. but for republicans to be going through this process repeatedly each time they need to elect a speaker reminds us just how fractured the conference is. host: we have heard people upset with johnson maybe not giving him the speakership but who would take his place? guest: the name that frequently comes up a little bit is jim jordan. he ran as the speaker on the ballot a couple times in october of 2023 after kevin mccarthy was removed from the speakership before mike johnson was elected. jordan got up to 200 votes at one point and then his totals started to fall a little bit. it doesn't seem like there is any ground swelling. jordan has a lot of loyalty in the house republican congress but doesn't have the infrastructure mike johnson has. and he does not at this point have the endorsem

>> john: sandra, we are awaiting the supreme court's response to president-elect trump's request to stop his new york sentencing tomorrow. how will the court decide? andy mccarthythat coming up next. plus this... >> the air is not healthy for people who are challenged from a respiratory standpoint. so if you don't have to come into an area that's so impacted, please don't. >> sandra: really important reminder that the air can be and is so toxic after all this. the los angeles officials there sounding the alarm of the dangers of the wildfire smoke, the risks and how people can stay safe. we'll have more from that just ahead. >> john: it is just behind the building behind me and we are awaiting a decision from the supreme court on whether it will step in and stop president-elect trump's sentencing in new york criminal court, which is scheduled for tomorrow. the state of new york's highest court has already refused to step in. let's bring in andy mccarthy, fox news contributor and former assistant u.s. attorney. we're watching to see what the supreme court might do in the next little while here, andy. the new york court of appeals, as it's known, the highest court

mccarthy. annmarie: good morning. i love what majority leader johnin terms of sequencing with the priorities are clear for president-elect trump. we will talk about that right now with former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. you know how challenging it is and senate majorities to get anything done in congress, what is your advice to president trump, does he go for this one big beautiful bill debt ceiling on the senate? kevin: i think one bill is the right answer and this is why. it is different. this is the first time in modern history the majority in the senate is larger than the house, so the senate is going to have a different view. they have 53, but they really have 54 by having the house present -- vice president. the house has a small majority. plus, come january 20, they are going to lose two more members for a time. those two florida seats will not get billed until april 1, and then the new york state not until after that. so you cannot take that many bites of the apple. and remember why you are doing reconciliation, it is a special provi

john boehner many years ago. and of course, many of them would help support speaker kevin mccarthy two years ago. that group is very individualistic. there is a lot of variety of the members when it comes to what exactly they are looking for. it was concessions kevin mccarthy made to folks in the freedom caucus that put in a rule that allowed just one member to offer a motion to vacate. now, this rules package for the 119th congress, if they get to it today, and if it passes with republicans because the democrats won't vote for it, now it would take how many republicans to provoke an ouster of the speaker? guest: the threshold would increase significantly to nine members. it is to get nine members willing to trigger a vote to and -- oust a speaker and with the margin now it would mean the speaker was automatically ousted. host: how did that come about, the nine? you guessed: the number was --guest: the number was negotiated. there were more governance minded anti-chaos republicans in the republican congress who for a long time after speaker mccarthy was ousted wanted to raise the threshold to pre

john thune, the new majority leader in the senate and out of trump. will be extremely messy for johnson. one thing he's got going for him that kevin mccarthyne actually likes mike johnson, democrats and republicans alike. >> i think that is an important part of it, to a certain extent, eugene. you have to like the guy who was in charge, i guess, to the extent it matters. i think julie put her finger in a very important aspect of this that will really be the focus of what your coverage and the coverage of that julie and others have on the hill, it is not the house, it will be the senate. at the end of the day, the house is a crap show, herky- jerky and that is it. the senate is where the work will be done and where the negotiations will be and where donald trump will face his reality on the budget, conversations on the deck, conversations that began in march on immigration and all the other pieces they want to put together. how do you see, from your reporting, that kind of playing itself out on the centerpiece of this, which everybody is looking past. everybody is focused on mike johnson. you gave him the gavel, he got a gavel, right ? the

john boehner. good to see you again. this is tricky, because even if mike johnson becomes speaker tomorrow, there is a problem, we identified this when kevin mccarthy became speaker. once you're a speaker with that many conditions or that many extractions or that many threats or that many defectors and that thin a majority, what you're able to do as speaker becomes fundamentally limited, which means what this house, this republican-run house, is going to be able to do is going to be fundamentally limited. >> that's right. there's also not even the promises that they have to make. there's just the realities of governing that makes it very difficult. as you outline. you have to fund the government, you have to increase the debt limit. republicans have shown time and time again they're not able to do that on their own. every time you have to go over and work with democrats. they can blame the speaker all they want. all day long, you can blame the speaker. but unless there are 218 republicans willing to vote for something that can get through the united states senate, you're never going to advance any priorities. and we have had this mindset that there

john boehner won a huge majority, bigger than i did, and after they got tired. paul ryan got so disgusted he left. the guy who actually created the current majority come a kevin mccarthy, was in a constant running war with about eight or ten members. a small group is congealed into a very hostile, very destructive group. fine if you are the opposition party, but astonishingly stupid if you are the governing party, and somehow trump and others, j.d. vance may have a big job cut out for him, deficit these guys down and explain to them, if that means trump goes and holds rallies in everyone of their their districts, and mounts a tremendous effort to replace them, whatever it takes, you cannot have a hostile contrarian negative group if you are going to try to govern. >> sandra: bret come if we could bring our viewers through what is happening right now, as it has been looking more and more likely that it appears mike johnson will be falling short, although we do caution there are two vote against johnson by name -- >> bret: now three. >> sandra: there is three? that just came in. we cannot definitively say this is going to a second ballot yet. however, it is starting to

. >> john: it seemed at every turn the more lawfare was leveraged against him the more popular he became. with this case and the legal analysis from jonathan turley and trey gowdy and andy mccarthy and so many others who said this seemed to be a travesty, miscarriage of justice with charges left and right bootstrapped together to get around statute of limitations and force it into a courtroom, that the american people looked at this, not all of the american people, but certainly the majority of them, looked at this and said this is unfair. and they are only doing this to try to stop this former president from running for re-election. and the ground swell of support for him cleared went unnoticed bay lot of pollsters and left wing media but in the end i remember being there and seeing the sweep of all seven battleground states just really gave voice to what we had heard rumblings about that people were so ticked off by this they were willing to put him back in office because they liked what he had done the previous four years. >> it is not paranoia if they are actually out to get you. a lot of people saw it that way. there is a coyote and roadrunner thing going on here. they just
