how do you lose kevin brady? >> i think that's a big part of it.sident trump lost the election. nobody should be able to say that. the insane conspiracy theory he promulgated after that led to losing the senators in florida and senate majority with that. no one should have an issue saying those facts. and we would not be looking at trillions of dollars in spending if republicans had a seat at the table. the next chance by getting a seat at the table is 2022. winning the house majority is the only way to get republicans back in the conversation, back in power in washington. so that's kind of the entire focus on the house republican team, and i think a lot of them are sick of relitigating the events of january 6th and want to move on and cheney is making that impossible. >> i understand the point of view you're coming from. michael, what you're saying is the person with whom -- the person whose fault it is that republicans don't have the seat at the table is the person that the party needs to get said seat at the table. do you realize how illogical a

kevin brady was on "meet the press daily" with me friday.on't play the clip because we're short on time. i asked him three times to give liz cheney of vote of confidence. he didn't do it. he's a retiring former committee chair, not from the far right fringe of the gop. how much trouble is liz cheney in? >> i watched that interview, chuck, and it struck me for sure. i do think there's a reason why liz cheney didn't really rule out the possibility she may run for president because she may be losing support in the house of representatives. i think there are a lot of people who are with her behind the scenes, but they're concerned that the public version of it will jeopardize their ability to take back the majority. that's where the tension is. >> we shall see if she can make it through the month, let alone the rest of her term. that's all we have for today. thank you all for watching. we'll be back next week for mother's day, because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> look, it's been another crazy week from biden making his first addres

i talked to members like kevin brady of texas, well respected who said he supported cheney last timeo, another member who supported cheney last time told me they believe that two-thirds of the people who voted with cheney just three months ago are now going to vote against her. >> woodruff: so, lisa, what has changed since then? as you pointed out, that vote took place just a few months ago. what are republicans telling you has changed? >> desjardins: i think consider house republicans in two groups in terms of what's happening with liz cheney. the first group is republicans who did vote for cheney last time, but generally support president trump. what i heard from this group, talking to many of them over the past few days, is that the last time they voted, marjorie taylor green was also a factor. remember, at that time, house republicans were choosing not to punish her for her statements that were seen as inflammatory. these republicans tell me now that at the time, they didn't feel that they could let green off the hook but yet punish cheney. so in a way, they see that vote as conn

republicans like texas congressman kevin brady did today. >> president trump says the big lie was the results of the 2020 election. liz cheney says, no, the big lie was suggesting that the 2020 election was stolen. between the two of them, who's right? >> i'll leave that dispute to them to be honest. >> you know, who's to say? tomato, toma tow, like it's a debate over who the mvp is. will american democracy endure? in a written statement explaining why she was objecting to the electoral college certification, something published just hours before the insurrection, she falsely claimed that in georgia, quote, more than 140,000 votes came from underaged, deceased, and otherwise unauthorized voters in fulton county alone. what? as "the washington post" points out, there were 524,000 votes total there. that would mean more than one in four were fraudulent, which of course is ridiculous, a lie, in fact slanderous when you think about the hundreds of people that worked so hard to sort and count those ballots. stefanik didn't break stride after the riot in the capitol later that day, the dead

kevin brady, who is not known as any firebrand. he is someone who -- he was the former chair of the ways and means committee. he has been a tax bill writer. he was on with chuck on this program. he refused multiple times to answer questions about cheney. let's watch that exchange. then we will talk about it. take a look. >> do you have a vote of confidence for liz cheney as your conference chair? >> chuck, for the third time, i will remind you that where we are as a conference is that we are absolutely unified in stopping the socialist agenda. >> leigh ann, that was the third time chuck asked him the question, the third time he would said i would have a vote of confidence. the conference did vote to keep her in the role that she has. that seems to be changing. what is your sense of why? how much risk cheney is in right now. >> reporter: she's not getting a lot of support from leadership, publically, from her conference. kevin mccarthy declined to defend her multiple times. wouldn't even say if he would campaign for her in an upcomi

let's talk about the republican prospects on the house with texas congressman kevin brady from houser having me. >> bret: i want to talk about a number of things but talk about what the president talked about this week raising taxes. >> i keep hearing in the press biden is going to raise your taxes. anybody making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a single penny in taxes. and we will not increase the deficit, either. unlike the last gigantic tax increased the deficit by $2 trillion. it's about balancing the system and growing the economy. >> bret: he left out a word there. a single penny more in taxes under $400,000. what about that plan? and what are you doing to fight it? >> no question, bret. the president inherited a very strong economic recovery and life-saving vaccines entering into office. i counted 6.5 million u.s. jobs lost just because the policies he spoke about at his joint address to congress. you know, raising really crippling taxes as we try to recover from this pandemic makes no economic sense. i think it's the biggest economic blunder in our lifetime. in the day

unite the gop around a strategy to fight tax hikes leading on the house ways and means committee kevin bradyed around four key questions -- who will be the world economic superpower what drives up wages can america stay competitive and is the future freedom or socialism? republicans have been pulling east swing districts like the atlanta suburbs and found 23% of voters in the georgia seven who knew about president biden's infrastructure plan actually associated it with roads and bridges, but an all equal number to excessive spending. coalition to protect workers led by an official and new adds in the districts, part of a $25 million ad campaign. now, to be clear, even the gop polls show most voters don't know about the tax increases in the infrastructurcture plan, bub moved the needle highlighted tax hikes and connection to specific policies like paying for more irs agents, getting rid of the local state and county tax dedu deductions inflation is a tax increase that is already here. >> seeing that as well elon, thank you. >>> stick with taxes california with a new problem. i guess you could

i recently joined ways and means republican leader kevin brady in introducing the reopening america by supporting workers and business act. our bill would turn extra unemployment benefits into a back to work bonus that would incentivize workers to come back to work instead of staying on unemployment. the legislation would also reinstate the federal requirement that those receiving unemployment benefits be engaged and actively searching for a job. the american people have faced unprecedented challenges since last spring. now safe and effective vaccines have renewed us in our hope that we can defeat covid-19. rebuild our economy and return to normal life. let's not put our recovery at risk, by pushing workers to the sidelines of this economy. let's get americans back to work, main street businesses back on their feet, and the american dream back on track for every single american. thank you, and i yield back. mr. bost: mr. speaker, at this time i would like to yield two minutes to the gentleman from texas, mr. williams. representative williams. mr. williams: thank you, mr. chairman. appr
