kevin mccarthy. good for them. thumbs-up. >> there's not zero argument for this, which is to say some question about due process. i think by the time they reconvene tomorrow they will have come to their senses because the optics of it are absurd. >> why do this as your first move, not even try toover it up. they did try to cover it up. there was no debate about it. if you had a serious argument to make, you wouldn't vote in secret. you would early on talk about leading a national discussion about it. >> the first law we passed after we got elected in '94, first of all, we passed a law that made sure that all the laws we passed applied to us as well. >> the opposite optic. >> we can't exempt ourselves from it. all laws passed against americans, we also have to live by those laws. it was great. we passed one reform after another reform. balanced budget acts. all these things we tried to do. term limits. some passed, some didn't. optics were fantastic. after first 100 days, another election again. here the very first

they complained about this office and so republicans, even though paul ryan and majority leader kevin mccarthy personally opposed to doing this

ryan argued against it, as did house majority leader kevin mccarthy.d of a corner politically. as much as they argued to the face-to-face conversations of their members to not do this, they knew there was such an appear tied to get rid of it. at least 19 hours between monday and tuesday morning, there is a sense that maybe this has to happen and maybe make reforms to the office of congressional ethics if that is what the majority wanted but they ultimately pulled back. >> what was decisive? yesterday morning we had kevin mccarthy on and he said he is going to support it and gave all indications that paul ryan would be supportive of it and the direction it would go. is donald trump's tweeting made the difference? was it the phone calls from constituents that seemed to make the difference? talking to members and reporting on this story all day yesterday, what did you find to be decisive in the republicans making a 180 turn on this issue? >> actually, joe, i think the period after "morning joe" yesterday from 9:00 to about 10:30 in the morning on tuesday

what my friend, kevin mccarthy said, is not right. this is a dramatic change, removing the ability of the watchdog to make criminal complaints, taking away its ability to speak publicly, no more whistle blower complaints. taking control of investigations and the people are being investigated have the ability to end the investigation. that is a total transformation. and it is terrible for oversight in congress. >> all right. well, then, let's talk about your reaction here. you were part of the bipartisan group that, again, yesterday, sent a letter to the president-elect, encouraging him to put his assets in a blind trust. let's be honest, putting his assets in a blind trust, is that letter basically confetti in trump tower at this point? >> well, i wouldn't assume that the bipartisan outcry over mr. trump's failures so far to do the right thing, follow the precedent of the past four decades and set up an independent trustee to sell his businesses, now a bipartisan outcry over this terrible move on the hill to eliminate the office of co

kevin mccarthy says we can do this in the budget this year. kellyanne conway says it could take years. what she means is president-elect trump boxed in congressional republicans by saying preexisting condition coverage should stay. if you are 26, you should be able to stay on your parents' coverage a little longer. he named several specific proposals, but the democrats love and that cost money that he wants to keep. how do they do that? >> as democrats learned, it's tricky to revamp the entire health care system of the united states of america, and now the republicans will be facinge fac the same thing. they are going to be talking about the problems with obama care. repeal can happen quickly, technically, but they will probably put in several years of timelines or as the obama care implementation did itself so people don't get stuck by losing coverage that they had. the thing that worries me, not terribly smart about strategy, and this has to be a really delicate process if you are not going to tick off many people who do have some coverage t

sghv kevin mccarthy has seep all of them and here's his reviews on the latest batch of flix. hey everybody, kevin mccarthy here with this week's brands new movie releases up including a dog's purpose and residents evil sixth movie. and first up is "a dog's purpose" the idea behind the film it's k-9 spirit that lives different life times in different dogs bodies. the only problem with that you have to deal with the death ever the dog four times in the film. that to me is a little hard and as a dog person i lover dogs beyond believe and my wife and i have a dog we rescued for for me it was touch to watch the machines but the connection between human beings and animals is really portrayed. what i lovdz through it the through line of the story. you see the character here fall in love at a young age. there's the dog bailey and then later on in the film, that dog comes to more of the character and somehow connects them back at their older age. and it's a really beautiful idea i love that aspect of it and dennis quaid is fantastic in the movie. it is unsetsling at times there's time

i would not be surprised because there's constant communication between kevin mccarthy and paul ryan and donald trump, if this is something they knew he was going to do. i was told this was all djt, meaning donald trump, but i wouldn't be surprised. >> look at the speed with which things happened. it was mind-blowing. kellyanne conway, who is speaking for the president-elect, and is supposed to come out on television and have a full understanding on his thoughts on this. she embraced this change. she was not at all with ryan and mccarthy. she was defending it and embracing it. then paul ryan puts out a statement that clearly indicates he thinks it's going to pass because he starts doing fancy footwork about even though i'm opposed to this, this is how it's going to be. and then the president-elect tweets, and like that, unanimous consent done. just an -- it shows you also donald trump keeps his own counsel clearly, and this was so against brand. it was so off brand for him to have him do is this that even donald trump, the person that has broken up the establishment, actually sides w

kevin mccarthy and speaker ryan we're told were against the move from the get-go. so how the heck did we get as far as we got before it got withdrawn? >> i think that's what a lot of republicans around town are scratching their head about. i ran into them today and talked to them on the hill and elsewhere. how did it get that far if paul ryan and kevin mccarthy didn't want this to happen? you know, where's their power? so in some ways i think that the way that this unravelled, reflects badly on them for the start of this. you know, you talk to republicans, they'll say, well, we knew we were going to have to undo this, the trump tweet, you know, wasn't the deciding factor. we were getting tons of phone calls. but, they do say that the decision came after the trump tweet. so the new message to congress from the white house is obviously going to come in the form of twitter rather than documents. and, i mean, i think they're mainly chagrinned. that's the word i would use. here's the big opening day, this is the start of their big united government and they totally step

if kevin mccarthy and paul ryan are against it, which i suspect they are because they're a little bit more experienced than most of the members in the caucus, a problem with the membership understanding some experienced and wise congress people who want to see the optics be different and also want to see ethics maybe prevail. i think this portends problems with leadership having the caucus, the conferences they call it, behind them and -- >> congressman, this is mike pence. he's speaking outside of trump tower. let's listen. >> we look for washed to legislation that will give us the tools to roll back the avalanche of red tape and regulation that have been stifling american jobs and growth. but president-elect has a very clear message to capitol hill and that is it's time to get to work and it's time to keep our word to the american people to make this country great again, make it prosperous again, and we look forward to being on capitol hill tomorrow. say again? [ inaudible ] >> we receive regular intelligence briefings and i'll be joining the president-elect today for routine intell

. >> harris: house majority leader kevin mccarthy countered that earlier on "america's newsroom." >> the president said if you liked your health care, you can keep it. you can't. he said premiums would go down, but they are up on average over $4300. of the 23 co-ops that were created under obamacare, 18 of them have already failed. insurance has pulled out of the marketplace. we have more than 1,000 counties that only have one choice. they have no competition, they have no options in those 1,000 counties across america. so if we do nothing, obamacare collapses on its own. and we can. we will repeal obamacare, and we've already reached out on both sides of the aisle come across the country, to create a health care system that is much different. >> harris: meanwhile, president obama and vice president-elect mike pence will both be on capitol hill tomorrow to talk about health care. each with their own party members. so, my first question, joe, has to do with just the timing of all this. months ago we learned about the double digit to triple digit increases. why didn't democrats come up

the move something the speaker and majority leader kevin mccarthy both told their party it shouldn't do, and then donald trump this morning jumping on twitter at about 10:00, he put his objections out there too. he said, reasonables, he wondered why were they focussed on this as their first item of business? trump tweeting, focus on tax reform, health care, and so many other things of far greater importance. house leadership then taking the item about the ethics oversight watchdog out during a closed door meeting at noon today. speaker ryan, republicans potentially still feeling the aftereffects of their first major pr blunder of this young congress, ryan, giving his first remarks of the new term saying he's ready to move quickly and work for all americans. >> just months ago, our country held a great electoral contest, and at times, it was a little intense. you start to wonder, will the temperaturers ever cool? will the systems still hold? does our old rich tradition still have that magic? well it turns out it does. so i want to say to the american people, we hear you. we will do ri

night over the new year's holiday, opposed by their own top leader, paul ryan and majority leader kevin mccarthy. >> yes, it is true i opposed moving forward on this at this time. i thought it was something that both parties should take up at thsame time. >> mr. trump leading a national movement to drain the swamp on his campaign here in washington responded on twitter this morning, writing "with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog, as unfair as it may be, their number one act and priority? focus on tax reform, health care and so many other things of far greater importance." joining me is kasie hunt on capitol hill and kristen welker outside trump tower in new york. kasie, first of all there was a parenthesis there or amendment to what the tweet said, which is as unfair as it may be, so it's clear that the president-elect is not questioning the ethics change. he's not supporting the oversight that existed for the last number of years since that big corruption scandal. he's only questioning the timing of it. >> reporter: w

kevin mccarthy and paul ryan didn't want this and youbobgood that say? >> it means we're not going to agree on everything. president obama and nancy pelosi, weren't together on everything. it's not universally popular in congress especially the constitutional black caucus feels that it's targeted their members unfairly and not because congress wants less ethics but they want to do this job well. >> this is from the ranking democrat, chuck schumer. here is what he had to say today. >> america doesn't conduct foreign police by tweet, least of all by flattering putin, after confirming that russia interfered if our election, spurning vital intelligence briefings, that should allow democrats and republicans alike. it is utterly amazing that our republican colleagues who have spent years land basting for not being tough enough on putin are now with a few exceptions are under the circumstances early silent. >> they know each other, new yorkers, apparently have a pretty good relationship, but that was pretty brutal. that was pretty brutal on trump, do you think

kevin mccarthy. >> kevin, thanks a lot. it's his birthday, you know, joe? >> happy birthday today! you aake and bearing presidents. what do u hope to hear from the british prime minister? >> i think a closer bond. i think they are going through some disruption at the same time. i've got some very close relationships over there. i think always in history when america and the uk are close together, the world is safer and it brings security around the world. but also kind of calms the waters. and a little more freedom for everybody else. >> kevin, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> always great talking to you. "morning joe" will be right back. mom, i just saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i'm not even sure this is real wood. there's no butter in this churn. do my

there's kevin mccarthy. we just heard the sound from him. the number two in the house coming out on stage. the speaker, majority leader, mitch mcconnell and the president and vice president will soon follow. in this feeling out period, how important is it, we're talking about the president. how important for the president. these guys are on the ballot next. the next election is 2018. so they have a lot to prove, too. >> let's also remember, kevin mccarthy was supposed to be speaker of the house. anyone remember that? and he wasn't able to become speaker of the house, mostly because of his inability to communicate. when you think about who is going to win out on these arguments that they're going to make to constituents, to the rest of america, my bet is on donald trump to be able to try to push the republican conference to go in whatever direction he feels they need to go. >> one of the first things that happened to paul ryan is he had to get with his good buddy reince priebus from wisconsin and get trump to either moderate or to put out the

it looked like leader kevin mccarthy may have scooted out of the screen. on the left side is this podium where we expect the vice president-elect and house speaker paul ryan to come out and address the media and questions for ghem what the vice president-elect plans to do along with the rest of the house about repealing and replacing the affordable care act. it sounds as though president obama in this simultaneous showdown is getting ready to come out of his meeting as well. casie is standing by because once we hear from some of the lawmakers coming out of the president's meeting, i imagine we'll have this dueling showdown. what can you tell us? what are you hearing about how this went? >> hey, hallie. just getting some background intel from a source inside the room. the mood is really fired up. they're really focussing on trying to take things to republicans. so far they've talked all about at this point the health care law, which we knew. the president taking a few questions. and some quotes from what he had to say. in two weeks i'll no longer be a polit

kevin mccarthy with us last hour saying the same thing.economic engine you need to get things going in the u.s. tom price right now his confirmation hearing continues on the hill. dianne feinstein now taking her turn to question tom price and a lot of it comes down to obamacare, how he would change it and repeal and replace. in the meantime jeff sessions, who will in all likelihood be the next attorney general his confirmation hearing continues and we believe there will be a committee vote any moment now. we are keeping an eye on all that for you at 10 minutes past the hour. >> shannon: the other big story this morning president trump expected to sign executive orders to push forward construction of the keystone and dakota access pipelines as the president focuses this week primarily on the economy. this morning he is meeting with leaders of the auto industry hoping to spark job creation. the president says his actions are designed to improve the standing of the american worker. >> we have a very big push on to have auto plants and other p

i'll post full trailer on facebook page kevin mccarthy fox. >> it looks good. >> i'm excited about josh this is upsetting news to me. ben affleck is stepping down as director of the solo batman movie. >> even though he said he would not. >> he told me he would direct it three weeks ago go. >> he says, there are certain character who hold a special place in hearts of millions and said it has become clearly can cannot do both jobs to level they require together wi partner and director who will collaborate with me on this massive film. i think this is upsetting news. here is ben affleck telling me he would direct it. >> yes, by the way, batman, superman top ten of the year. >> meez direct batman movie. >> we're getting going. >> and he told jimmy kimmel he would direct it as well. moving on fact. speaking of action films. >> he did say together with the studio. >> maybe it was not in his hands. >> i don't know. >> matrix one of the greatest movies of all time a scene playing on a loop and slowing it down this is nieto slowing agent smith to top of subway system. here's the cool thing. this

. >> kevin mccarthy said yesterday i believe on the show that you would have the reconciliation repeal bill to the president's desk by the end of february. is that the timeline? speaker ryan: we are going to work the process as best we can. we are not building hard deadlines because we want to get it right. again, we need to move quickly because the law is collapsing but we also want to get it right and we will go to regular order on my but the democrats did. and then pass a massive bill that you do not know what is in it until after it is past. we are going to do this the way congress is supposed to work but we do need to act quickly because this thing is collapsing. >> are you concerned at all about including language defunding planned parenthood in the reconciliation bill and how that may impact moderate house gop members in 2018? speaker ryan: we are working on the bill we passed last year. our goal in my policy is to get health care to women, particularly in -- these dollars are better directed to community health care clinics. carefied health clinics are very good. for everyone p

joined by house majority leader kevin mccarthy.w year to you and glad to have you with us today. we all remember nancy pelosi saying you had to find out what was in the bill. once you did you were going to love it. now she is concerned that you guys are going to mess it up as you try to repeal it. here is what she said. >> it's the old thing of going into a china shop. you break it, you own it. and they're dealing with something that is very -- when i say complex, it is sophisticated in terms you have to pay meticulous attention to the details of the provision so they have the impact they have. they have shown nothing on their ranting and raving that shows any level of knowledge where they would go or where they would take this. >> martha: she says it's complicated and you guys might not understand it. what do you say? >> this is what i understand. the president said if you liked your healthcare you could keep it, you can't. premature-ups are up on average over 4300. of the 23 company ops created 18 have failed. insurance has pulle

reporter: kevin mccarthy said yesterday, i believe, on the hugh hewitt show you would have the reconciliation repeal bill to the president's desk by the end of february is that the timeline? speaker ryan: we are going to work the process as best we can. we're not holding hard deadlines only because we want to get it right. again, we need to move quickly because the law is collapsing but we also want to get it right and we are going to go through regular order, unlike what the democrats did. we are not going to do the harry reid's office on christmas eve. you know, and then pass the massive bill that you don't know what's in it until after it's passed, we're not going do that. we are going to do it the way congress is supposed to work but we do feel we need to act quickly because, again, this thing's collapsing. yeah. reporter: speaker ryan, are you concerned at all including language defunding planned parenthood in the reconciliation bill and how that could impact modderate house g.o.p. leaders in 2018? speaker ryan: we are working off the bill from last year. our goal in that policy is to ge

reportedly came as a surprise and without the support of house speaker paul ryan or majority leader kevin mccarthy. the full house is scheduled to vote later today. under the measure, the office of congressional ethics will be renamed the office of congressional complaint review and placed under the oversight of the house ethics committee. the move will take away authority and independence from the investigative body and give more power to lawmakers over internal inquiries. according to "the washington post," under new rules the office will not be able to employ a spokesperson, investigate anonymous tips, or refer criminal wrongdoing to prosecutors without the express consent of the ethics committee, which would also gain the power to end any of the office's investigations. the measure's sponsor, republican bob goodlatte of virginia, said in a statement the move "builds upon and strengthens the current arrangement and improves the due process rights for the house members under investigation." we will have more on the office of congressional ethics later in the broadcast with craig holman, who help

. >> and it should be noted that paul ryan and kevin mccarthy were against this change, probably because exactly what david is saying. they knee knew the political perception of this would be terrible and so they had pushed against this. this was pushed by rank-and-file members, essentially, who cast aside their leaders, and decided to go forward with this. so you also see a little bit of friction within the republican -- the house republicans as to whether this was the right move. >> so they vote on this today? >> yes. >> is it already done for all intents and purposes? >> it is done unless somebody wants to make a real fight of it and some republican defectors make it a possibility of defeat. the reality is in a worst-case scenario, they bought themselves a year are. even if there's going to be this ammunition provided to the democrats to come back and run against them, the pace at which the regular ethics office operates, almost guarantees that you'll be able to say truthfully or not that the 115th congress had no scandals because it take them months and months and months behind close

but the leadership spoke out against this, kevin mccarthy, paul ryan said this isn't the right time to do this. the reality did want to get rid of it, a way that didn't put it all on them. what they're left with is the perception that they are guting and in fact they are gutting the powers of this office, putting it under the house ethics committee, making it so they can't investigate complaints, they're not allowed to tell law enforcement what they find out. they're changing the name to the office of government complaints versus the office of congressional ethics. a complaint suggests something different than perhaps an ethical lapse. when republican wanted to tacking about the health care law and all these other priority, they are talking about this. and you saw donald trump tweeting that they should be doing other things before they dismantle of office that looks over their own activities. and donald trump used the hash tag #dts, drain the swamp. >> first i have to ask you, congressman, you're not usually somebody who going to answer to the affirmative. do you agree with donald trum

one other important thing to point out here, we know that paul ryan and majority leader kevin mccarthy opposed closing this office because they don't want you and i having this conversation and they don't want this to become a pr nightmare for them, frankly, as the new congress convenes tomorrow. this goes against everything donald trump would have campaigned about, right, draining the swamp and the desire to do things in washington to make it an ethical place? this seems to run counter to that. it will be interesting to watch republican lawmakers tomorrow explain why they want to do this. >> will there be a difference now in terms of us, the press, and we, the public, getting information about ethics complaints, about ethics investigations of lawmakers? is there an issue in terms of just what we have access to when these complaints are made, when lawmakers are looked into in terms of ethical misdoings? >> absolutely. and it was already pretty bad to begin with, because the process was so secretive, you couldn't get information out of this office for fear they would get shut down the w

i think he took advantage of it to his own political -- >> he and kevin mccarthy, majority leader, didnk it was a bad idea but they were overruled by the other republicans. but then this morning the speaker issued a statement defending it saying we could live with this, we're going to work with it and then very quickly they abandoned it presumably in part let's say because of trump's tweet. >> a couple things. i talked to the speaker's office today and they said that that statement was not defending the measure. it was explaining it. it was explaining how it came top. >> certainly sounded like a defense to me. >> look, i think you could make the argument that some members saw trump's tweet and said, why are we going to bat for this when the president-elect doesn't even want it? we're supportive of trump. but you could also say that they were listening to the media mail strom over this that happened very early this morning. their constituents, and they decided completely independently of donald trump to go back on this. and as chairman rogers points out, paul ryan, kevin mccarthy made t

now, there doesn't seem to be a lot of outcry that paul ryan and kevin mccarthy kind of stripped this from the legislation from the house rules package. i think people want to move on. there are inside the belt way problems with the ethics office some members of congress would say. come on, doing this on the first day of congress shows that once again house republicans have a lot of internal cross winds to put it politely that they have to deal with. >> donald trump taking another victory lap, jake, over jobs. this time ford. walk us through what's happening here. >> ford said that they would put the money that they were going to put into a mexican plant into michigan now, the ceo of ford said that had nothing to do with donald trump and i can tell you from my conversations here on capitol hill, republicans are growing pretty tired of donald trump what they would say is meddling in private industry. this goes against what a lot of republicans believe in, a lot of republicans dot bieve that e government shld pick winners and losers. in fact that's actually been their message over the l

. >> to be fair, paul ryan, kevin mccarthy, my husband included, a lot of people were against that bill and were going to vote against it long before donald trump weighed in on it so let's be fair about that. >> can i do this with you-- >> it was a bad move. >> i think most of the audience doesn't realize what this committee is. once you understand it, maybe you're in favor of gutting this committee. here is what it is, if a house member says i have a grief with another house member, he showed up somewhere, he shouldn't be there and you do this anonymously. it's an anonymous accusation and then you're both on a stage somewhere and you can go to that member and say, did you ever get called on this, before they're accused of it or written up for it, just a letter sent to them. he has to say yes. and it looks like he's guilty. so, look, the committee needs some tweaking, right? >> it looks terrible. >> it needs some tweaking and the bill was bad. i would say, what donald trump said and what paul ryan said, the timing was bad. this was not the right bill to put forward opening day of congre

house majority leader kevin mccarthy was asked how that reflected on him. let's listen. >> if you can oppose it, why did you not suggest it? >> welcome back. >> welcome back. in my house, i got my wife and my two kids. i don't usually watch what we have on tv. so you can put whatever spend you want. i don't get everything in life. that's not the way our government is designed to work so i think that's healthy. >> in his first speech as senate minority leader, chuck schumer of new york vowed to hold donald trump and his allies accountable. here's schumer. >> we will hold president-elect trump accountable to the values that truly make america great. but we'll fight him tooth and nail when he appeals to the baser instincts that diminish america and its greatness. that is our challenge. that is our charge. and we rise to meet it. >> thank you. let's deal with what we were talking about a minute ago. the house republicans being caught in the act of getting rid of the ethics pad people keeps charge of them. they're getting rid of the only guard on that side. they
