. >> bret: josh, speaking of republicans in that spending bill, mike johnson's nightmare before christmase three month continuing resolution or c.r. saw speaker mike johnson come under criticism not only from some of his most frequent credits particulars the house freedom caucus and others but also a broader swath of conservatives vowing to oppose it. and more of them are suggesting january 3rd, the speaker's vote might be a little sticky. i asked him about that. when we talked last week. are you worried about your january 3rd as speaker? >> i'm not. we have a unified conference. i spoke with every individual at length and all of us collectively are ready to use our football met for to take this proverbial football and run it back up the field. in order to do that you have to have on our team. we have a smooth transition and election as speaker. we don't have any time to waste. >> bret: but they just this second released the text of the continuing resolution and there are conservatives, not just the regular bunch, conservatives who have a real problem with how this is coming together. >>

johnson from our interview. let's bring in our panel. joshof staff to mitch mcconnell. meghan hayes former special assistant to the president and message planning under president biden and syndicated radio host hugh hewitt. that is the question. what comes first? and how can you get it through this congress with such slim majorities in the house. >> no he question about did bret a short way to go and a long time. they will have to do a lot of work and do it quickly. there is a short period of time, obviously, to take advantage of the political capital considerable mandate that president trump received out of this election. in november, and it's a question of priorization. obviously the tax piece is something that just absolutely has to get done. the border piece, which is speaker johnson emphasizing, ache, that's the first time in my lifetime that that has bled deeply into the center left. electorate. a very clear mandate. energy, he named it. there's a lot to do. they really got to get working on it. >> bret: there is confidence in there in

. >> it is funny, i was listening to josh hawley who was sort of talking about the budget deal and brandon screaming about speaker johnsonired, we don't want him, and biden in the room saying no! who are you going to put up? can i have a name, please? who is your candidate that is going to go and run that gauntlet and get those votes that you need because the democrats should absolutely just sit there and go, we got a guy, we are good. give us another six votes and he is the speaker, right? that is how that works. so when you watch this unfold, what do you see coming down the train track in terms of what the house is going to look like going into this vote and when this vote is taken and how does the other chamber react to that? do they just kind of sit back and go, all right, we just wait until this plays out? what do you see the mood on the hill being with respect to this chaos when there is no alternative that is being put forward? >> yesterday, we have a thread of women democrats and i focused on this because i have a speech next saturday on the fourth, the day after and i suddenly realized that i'm not going to be a

members have been asking johnson just to clear the decks, just to kind of pass an omnibus, just get it out of the way because they don't want to deal with trump. and all along josh was saying, this can't pass, this can't pass. and then it comes to find out this actually what trump wanted all along. and so johnson's also really in a kind of a touchy situation with his speakership and where it's at. i mean, trump is kind of trump. i reported yesterday that trump is kind of souring on johnson is expressing that he might not back him in january if there's a speaker fight because of how he's handled this whole situation. there's now at least two members that are saying publicly that they don't plan on voting for mike johnson, and so that's enough right there just to kind of at least further elongate the speaker fight. >> yeah. so speaking of your your reporting, this is part of what you and a colleague wrote for notice, quote, johnson doesn't appear to be in a negotiating mood with a speaker vote just a couple of weeks away, giving in to democratic demands and simply putting the original bill on the floor could come at the expense of johnson's job. congressman mark p

senator josh hawley, republican, offered a pretty brutal critique of how he's been handling it. he called johnson an embarrassment, calling the cr a total disaster and saying, this is mike johnson's fault. oh, no. >> well, listen, senator hawley knows a lot about this town. i would say that the closer you get to understanding the very difficult situation mike johnson was in, the more you appreciate what an incredible job he has done. he does not have a republican senate. he does not have a republican white house right now. he has had to negotiate with an arm or two tied behind his back. and yet we are still on the cusp of making sure that we get a tremendous number of republican priorities in this package during a time when republicans only control barely one half of one third of the federal government. >> you're really good at math. i'm learning that really quickly, and i really appreciate congressman, real quick, i heard kevin cramer, the senator from, well, your neighbor to the north north dakota, he said that he thinks that at this point, donald trump needs to get on a plane and come to town

difficult it will be for house speaker mike johnson to facilitate two budget reconciliation packages and a debt limit bill next year. the whole reports that senator josh holly of missouri expressed doubt about whether the speaker can pass these major bills. quote, if they can't manage, how is he going to manage the reconciliation? it bodes badly. also is concerned, trump signature campaign promise of large-scale mass deportations. the telegraph reports, days after his election victory, trump said that there would be no price tag on his plans for mass deportations, which would probably involve constructing tens of thousands of detention centers. a report from the american immigration counsel, a pro- immigration group, estimated that deporting 1 million migrants a year would cost at least $88 billion. joining us now to discuss it all is congressional reporter for the , michael chanel. michael, can we start with mice -- house speaker mike johnson? he's looking at a one seat majority at the beginning of the new congress. the new congress is going to be sworn in on january 3rd. write down for us how tough that's going to be for him. >> simone, it's going t

"the hill" reports senator josh hawley of missouri expressed doubt about whether the speaker can pass these major bills. quote, if they can't manage the c.r., how is he going to manage reconciliation? it's bad. it bodes badly. another concern, trump's signature campaign promise of large-scale mass deportations.
