kevin mccarthy.lways a pleasure. thanks so much for being with me. >> thank you. maria: let's go through the war powers act. the house obviously on friday voted, can you tell us a little bit this and where this is going? >> well this resolution we passed is going nowhere because its way they passed it. did a concurrent resolution. you have to understand this, maria, a concurrent resolution is only used for soapbox derby or giving a medal we did to jack nicklaus. this is non-binding. this will not go to the president t will not change the war powers act. what the democrats have done, think about what the president trump has done, it is his natural instinct to always put america first and keep us safe. the democrats instinct is to blame america first. instead of having a resolution on the florida condemning iran for shooting down a civilian aircraft. we have resolution on the floor this week, standing with those individuals who seek freedom in iran? i don't believe we will because these democrats will

i want to really thank all of those people and also with us is kevin mccarthy and kevin brady and mike conaway and verne buchanan, steve scalise. they have been incredible from day one. literally a hundred other wonderful congress men and women, we appreciate you being here. kevin, congratulations on your big victory yesterday. that was incredible. he's also a tremendous fundraiser. not that that matters. we don't even think about that. but that was a big victory yesterday. thank you very much. also here are many of the state and local leaders, including a really good friend of mine, somebody that is going to get that pipeline through and approved and finished. pete rickets of nebraska. where's pete. thank you very much. and a special man and very

and now house minority leader kevin mccarthy at about1:

the house geordie leader kevin mccarthy was there until it began, and he scurried out, because he hado get pennsylvania avenue to capitol hill to give his floor speech. and the rest of the republican members of the house left en masse. to the president joking that he would much rather have them up on capitol hill then in the east room. listen here. >> some of the congressman may have a vote, and it is on the impeachment hoax, so if you want, you go ahead and vote. i would rather have frankly, it's not going to matter, because it is going very well. but i would rather have you voting then listening to me introduce you. they have a hoax going on over there. let's take care of it. the houseboats 190 5-0, and we have three democrats. and one of them actually left the democratic party and became republican. >> the white house press secretary had harsh words for speaker pelosi in the statement after the news conference. stephanie grisham sang "the only thing speaker pelosi has achieved witillegitimate impeacs is to prove that she is focused on politics instead of the american people after p

i think kevin mccarthy has a really good point. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and to tie them up in washington would be a good thing. i think they've lost the narrative on this whole thing. nancy said very famously that this needs to be bipartisan that there needs to be a real consensus before you can move impeachment. they did not prove the case and now she's embarrassed and even botched it even more by sitting on it. he's kind of kinda found himself being attacked. when you pick up a small lead in iowa. even biden is making some slight comments about sanders. he is making his move late in the game. a lot of a great ground organization. i do think it's anybody's ball game right now. biden continues to be the front runner when you look at the early states overall. let's not forget about some other candidates around that can make a move. this is a fairly unpredictable race. everybody is trying to assess viability. we are all in the hot seat watching what happens. with several very strong campaigns. michael bloomberg said if he

any of you guys want to leave, we will -- where is kevin mccarthy? the great kevin mccarthy. i'm glad. can i be honest? i'm glad. i like it much better that way. and the house, folks, 195-0 and we got three democrats and one of them actually left the democratic party and came over republican. what a job you've done. i just want to thank you all. really tough. i love that. we have some incredible people in the audience and i would just like to introduce a few. a very good friend of mine, two very good friends of mine, sheldon adelson, merriam adelson. they've been tremendous supporters of us and they're great people. a man who always liked me, because he's smart, so smart, the great lou dobs. then a few weeks ago and somebody told me, he's got a very important show, actually, tremendous audience and everybody in this room watches, but he said he's the greatest of them all. and i said does that include washington and lincoln? and he said yes. i don't know if he was for real. but that's okay. thlo dobbs, thank you very much. thank you.

you see him with several aides, including the deputy press secretary and kevin mccarthy there and jaredcourse, the president's adviser and son-in-law. so, not all lawmakers were as onboard with this as mccarthy and not surprisingly, it was deeply divided between democrats and republicans. republicans coming out and praising the president. democrats really concerned for a number of reasons. one being the fact that it's unclear who was actually briefed before this happened. and there was no congressional authority at all. the other side, being the concern over the revenge or the repercussions. i want to show you a tweet here from chris murphy from connecticut. he said, did america just assassinate the second-most powerful person in iran, knowingly set off a potential massive regional war? we know that speaker pelosi has called for an immediate briefing of congress. we heard that key aids up on capitol hill will be briefed later today. we'll keep our eye to the ground on what that will look like. this is a president that campaigned on getting our troops out of the middle east. experts are

house minority leader kevin mccarthy says the timing is intended to benefit one candidate, recallinghe last cycle when the dnc was caught trying to weaken bernie sanders. >> they are doing the exact same thing right now. the iowa caucus is on february 3rd. bernie sanders is in first place. and what this does, this benefits joe biden. >> reporter: pelosi starts things tomorrow but the schedule is unclear at this point. some already questioning whether the president should postpone his state of the union scheduled for february 4th. rob, jillian. jillian: time will tell. pete buttigieg facing rifts at a rally in iowa. several slammed his record on helping homeless homeless vete. >> i think your facts are a little wrong. >> [ indiscernible ] >> i'm sorry, this is not the best way for us to have this conversation. jillian: supporters attempted to drown out the protests by chanting "usa" the activists were eventually escorted out of the rally. rob: bernie sanders picking up the endorse machines of a key new hampshire union, gaining approval from the sea, seiu, the largest union in the stat

house minority leader kevin mccarthy. in the house, not one single republican left. we're getting rumblings from a couple senate republicans, if you will, that they may want to go down this road of witnesses. to me, if the sole power to impeach, that power constitutionally is the house of representatives, not the senate. they impeached him. they said it's a slam-dunk case. they have presented their case. the president is putting up his defense. 16 hours of questions. then they will debate the issue of whether or not they are going to have witnesses. why would any senate republican vote to bring any other witness with those that were brought up in the house impeachment? why do you have to bring in other people? why do you have to take on the constitution role in the house? that's not your authority. >> it is not their role. if they made these comments come after today don't know how they could make the comments. he wondered how they cheated on the house side. adam schiff never allowed the president's attorney inside the ro

democrats blocked to kevin mccarthy's resolution. would -- resolution would condemn the regime for killing 1500 people. iran's economy is bottoming out. information surfacing from sources on our show. iran's religious dictators have a 200 billion-dollar slush fund on the side to fund themselves and to fund proxy forces terrorizing middle east. let's take a listen to this. >> it is no secret that khamenei has a slush fund, a secretive fund of $200 billion that he is using at his discretion for their own corruption on one hand. on other hand, using it for undermining regimes in the surrounding area of iran, destablizing the entire situation. >> number one, you gotry becaust is a very classified bit of information that the ambassador just talked about, about the slush fund. yes, iranians have a slush fund that they don't just use for terrorism and it is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. the point is that they have a worldwide reach with their, with their terrorism organization. liz: what do they use the fund for? >> oh, the 200 bi

kevin mccarthy said, she picked partisan bomb throwers in congress. they all should recuse themselves. she is trying to sell this impeachment of some kind of an 18 presentation. looks more like -- hakeem jeffries compared preaching trump. adam schiff lighted every turn, most importantly with the transcript. doesn't look like she's trying to convince those sitting on the fence quest mentoring is now, tony sayegh. i hate mood questions. what is the mood of the white house? but come on, tell us the mood, and don't spin it. >> laura, we have been consistently confident all along, because the one fundamental and most important fact of the case has not changed. the president has done nothing wrong, and the reason pelosi come after saying they amassed overwhelming evidence during the house hearings, saying the president, and one of the articles, was a real, clear, and present danger to the country. the reason she held it for a month is because she knew, she panicked, that her case was weak there for you are an attorney. if you have a strong case, would you b

joining me now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. congressmen, democrats don't plan on taking this trial seriously, do they? >> no, she held it a month because she knows it how weak it is. >> laura: will you address the chair, please? >> you're watching on the floor -- >> laura: to direct your comments to the chair behind me. >> the speaker was so upset, chairman schiff and nadler, how they wanted us impeachment so bad. the seven managers, six of them already supported impeachment before the phone call took place. that's who they have going. and every time as president is strengthening our nation from their sabotaging democracy. think about this comes a cover 21st when he was at the u.n. council, nancy did a press conference announcing impeachment. december 4th with nato, the bombshell hearing. today, while signing with china, what are they doing? on the floor, naming the managers. they try to sabotage him every time. >> laura: i'm going to get into this with robert gray about the legal stuff, but it's quite interesting, is it not co

let's get back to kevin mccarthy to talk about that and more. thank you for staying with us.t to talk about, i don't have that much time though, i want to talk to you about impeachment. so pelosi and peaches the president. i'm not quite sure if she did or didn't because it's still in the house and it hasn't transferred to the tenant. we are going to get this done by christmas, they get it done by christmas and they are slow to get over to the senate. what's going on? >> nancy pelosi thinks she has more power then treat us. it will go to the senate but just yesterday in the district court of appeals, pelosi's house attorney made the argument before a judge and they could offer another article of impeachment. to try to impeach this president. you've heard it from so many other democrats, it's only goal in what they are continuing turn try to do. she doesn't want to send over because they'll vote against it. >> she wants to add another article to the two articles. we don't know because they are just in limbo right now. that's like me -- go ahead. >> her attorney made the argumen

in one of the pictures with kevin mccarthy, you can see that lev parnas is wearing a microphone and a wire up his sleeve. what he has to see for us. host: got it. olsen, i will have your response. guest: pictures don't prove people know people. i met prime minister johnson. i have a picture with prime minister johnson. he doesn't remember that he took a picture with me at a private party for over 30 seconds. anyone who is in politics knows what that means. secondly, donald trump is supported by 80 to 90% of republican voters. his job approval rating is 45%. he has millions of people who support him. the claim that that is not the case is simply not true. even in the primaries, he won a clear plurality of votes. when it was one-on-one, he was winning majorities of votes. republicans who picked other candidates decided they would support donald trump. he may well lose the reelection. you say the odds are with the democratic challenger. it is simply denying reality to say that there are not about 50 to 80 million people in the united states who strongly support the president. virginia, k

joining us now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy.et's start with the word we just received from the senate. mitch mcconnell says he does not have sufficient votes in the senate to stop witnesses being called. your thoughts? >> i think that's disappointing. that's not the role for the senate. if they are thinking because the "new york times" on the last day puts an article out that says they might have heard something bolton said because he's selling a book makes no difference. adam schiff inside the house didn't even subpoena bolton. and it doesn't change the outcome. you have the transcripts of the call. ukraine got the money. ukraine did nothing to get the money. the idea of what they will do to keep moving forward on this to get more witnesses, that's not their role. chairman nadler said on impeachment we have proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt. the senate is supposed to judge the case, note try to make it something different by bringing witnesses in. lou: alan dershowitz giving a brilliant dissertation on the law and the consti

they have a hoax over there, so if they leave, where's kevin mccarthy? the great kevin mccarthy? i am glad. i like it much better that way. and the house folks, 190 5-0, and we have three democrats, and one of them actually left the democratic party, came over republican, and what a job you have done. i just want to thank you all. really tough. i love that. we have some incredible people in the audience. and i would just like to introduce a few. a very good friend of mine, two very good friends of mine, sheldon and miriam abelson. thank you very much, both have been tremendous supporters of us in the republican party. and they are great people. a man who always liked me, because he is smart. so smart. the great lou dobbs. you know, at first he said, he is the best since reagan. and then he got to know me more and more, and he said, he is even better than reagan. then a few weeks ago somebody told me, and i watch all the time, somebody with a very important show, everybody in this room watches, lou dobbs, he is the greatest of them all, i said, does that include washington and lin

. >> in the house kevin mccarthy had this to say. >> the president sent a clear message with one missile taking out the individual who has killed more than 600 service men and women serving in iraq. >> reporter: it is unclear as nancy pelosi will push for that vote on a war powers resolution today, briefings will continue from the vice president to chairman of the joint chiefs, secretary of defense and state and the cia director. jillian: our next guest says america is in a position of power to reach out diplomatically to iran. >> let's bring in former deputy commander of us forces in afghanistan brigadier general anthony t ata. no indication of us casualties in this attack. what do you think happens next? >> reporter: what happens next depends if that is true. if it is true we have full accountability of our people at the locations of the attacks which i believe we do and nobody has been injured or killed, then that is one option. my sources told me there were two packages ready to go last night. one is preparation for the 52 targets, we had service men and women killed or injured and o

here now is house minority leader, kevin mccarthy. i don't know how you explain it. there was all this urgency. they came back from vacation and they had no urgency there either. the only urgency seems to be just to try and get everyone at christmas time talking about donald trump and he was impeached for nothing. speaker you see the hypocrisy. do you remember the letter i sent to nancy pelosi when this first started? let's lay this out. a fair process, a due process. now, she holds it up, but i believe she held it up for a number of reasons. one, she has a weak case. remember what the democrats did in 2016? they beat bernie sanders. why? they used superdelegates. they also had the dnc chairperson resigned the night before the convention, because they got caught cheating. what this does, it harms every senator running for president with iowa being february 3rd. joe biden should actually make a pledge not to campaign. >> sean: now, they are going to go back after they impeach and try to get more witnesses to re-impeach the impeached, because they were ready before? wh

and now house minority leader kevin mccarthy at about 11:30 and asked about impeachment and reports referring to the government accountability office legal opinion saying the trump administration broke the law by withholding defense aid to ukraine. mr. mccarthy: good morning. i want to congratulate on his new job -- promotion. congratulate him on the promotion. he gets promoted and stops coming. what's up with that? all right. today we had a conference and republicans in the house coose the country have received good news from liz cheney and will remain on our leadership team and remain in the house. she is a fighter and powerful voice for conservatives and type of person we need to help us lead the charge to win back the majority. i speak on behalf and thank you to your commitment that bill help propel americans across the country. what you need to read into it, there is a real chance we are going to win the majority. stay here to to help us win the majority and i thank her for that. now let me shift to what we saw yesterday in this chamber. taxpayer funded campaign stupt for the democrats a

brian: what about kevin mccarthy? why not bring him in?at mitch mcconnell is an accomplice to the president of the united states or to mr. putin? >> steve, nobody knows what she is saying. brian: i know. terrible. >> you are looking at a broken person right here. here's what happened. she could always fall back on the fact that the media would protect the fact that even if she lost something she would be called a brill cents political tactician. what happened here behind the scenes what i'm hearing is she took a massive face plant on this impeachment. brian: no question. >> it is humiliating her in front of everyone. nobody believes this was a successful maneuver anymore. now the only line she had going that she is this brilliant napoleon like tactician is falling apart. what do they do? they go back to their snugy, warm blanket. putin did it. putin impeached the president. putin did. this putin interfered in the election. she is an agent. brian is an agent of putin. it's like a song for them. they don't have anything else. it's their warm

. >>> house minority leader kevin mccarthy talks to reporters about the house war powers resolution and the articles of impeachment yet to be sent to the senate. >> good morning, chet. good morning, everybody else. he just corrects me every time. all right. we're on our first week back in session of a new year and the majority in this house is really only focused on two things. first, stalling of their self described urgent impeachment, and secondly, blaming america for iran's escalation. now, let's first talk about the impeachment. we sit and read and listen to lawmakers in speaker pelosi's own party have no idea what she's doing. senator feinstein, the senator from california, my senator and speaker pelosi's senator but she's even more, she's the hometown senator for nancy pelosi. she said, the longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes. so if it's serious and urgent, send them over. if it is not, don't send it over. chairman adam smith, speaker pelosi's own chairman on armed services, at 9:35 this morning, he said it is time for speaker pelosi to send the articles of impeachment t

. >> as the trial proceeds in the senate, earlier house minority leader kevin mccarthy spoke to reporters and was asked about impeachment. mr. mccarthy: where is chad? want to congratulate him. tell him we congratulate him on the promotion. he gets promoted and stops coming, what's up with that? where's the love? i don't see it. today we had a conference and republicans in the house and across the country received very good news from our conference chair this morning, liz cheney, anounsing she'll remain on our leadership team and remain in the house. she's a fighter, she's a powerful voice for conservatives and is the type of person we need to help us lead the charge to win back the majority. i speak on behalf of our members when i say thank you for your commitment to the republican party and to the vision that will help propel americans across the country toward a better future. what you need to read into it is there's a real chance we're going to win the majority. the idea that our conference chair had the opportunity to go to the senate and chose to stay here, to help us win the majori

you heard kevin mccarthy say take this, let's learn from this mistake he called it as how this has gone. the fear on the republican side and really some scholars is that this then becomes the norm. a first term incumbent president from a different party in the house could be subject to impeachment based on what they consider to be abuse of power. >> bret baier, great to have you with us. sit by. i'm about to bring in your colleague, chris wallace, anchor of "fox news sunday." chris, always good to see you as well. you know, i know this process and what is next is a ceremony later today. what happens? >> well, they basically take the documents and they, you know -- in this electronic world in which we live in where information can be traveled across the country, across the world in a millisecond, they're literally going to take the documents, put them in a wooden box and walk them across the capitol from the house side through the rotunda to the senate side where they will be taken by a senate official, brought to the front and the articles of impeachment will be read so anybody who like

i also talked to kevin mccarthy . he is making the argument that joe biden should sit out the campaign trail for the next few weeks during the impeachment trial because many of his impoundments will have to sit out to be part of that as jurors of the senate. >> the only thing that has changed are the four senators that are running for senate are now being denied the ability to run their campaigns. so as long as the campaign is on others should not campaign either because of the advantage. bernie sanders has been through this many times. if you are a supporter of bernie sanders you understand it. >> you believe that joe biden should not campaign? >> a lot of the others are not allowed to because it is a disadvantage to them. >> you think the president can campaign? he is a defendant in this. >> yes the president can because right now we are in the primary process. the republicans are being very fair about this process and that is the difference. >> kevin mccarthy also talks to us about the issues of homelessness and th

house minority leader kevin mccarthy and republican conference chair liz cheney responded to the news. they also talked about tensions with iran. >> good morning, everybody. have a little bit of a different lineup this morning. our republican whip obviously had a great victory last night for lsu. he will be back shortly. we are pleased to be joined by our chief deputy whip and our conference secretary, mr. smith, or both going to speak in a few minutes. as we gather this morning, we are still obviously watching closely what's unfolding on the streets of iran. unbelievably courageous demonstrations under way. -- underway. the iranian people very clearly understand the damage that their own regime is doing around the world. the damage the regime is doing to the nation of iran and taking to the streets to protest putting their lives at risk absolutely, literally, and we all stand strongly with the people of iran. we are also watching. we anticipate the speaker will finally bring a vote to the floor to name managers for the articles of impeachment. obviously after saying for months and mo

kevin mccarthy, republican, joined maria on sunday morning futures yesterday.e case that this delay has benefited republicans and gets into specifics about who this has hurt most of the democratic party in the run for president. >> what happens with the impeachment is the senators have to be in their desk. they cannot have a phone, they can't talk to one another. this benefits joe biden. this harm senator sanders, who is in first place and could become their nominee. because he will be stuck in a chair, because nancy pelosi held the papers, different than what she said to the american public, why she had to move so urgently. >> sandra: what about that? jessica, how is this going to be for the senators running for president? the time this can occupy, the clinton model come six days a all the afternoons. what does that do for the run for the presidency, for your party? >> it makes it more complicated for the senators that will be stuck in washington. i wonder if we will get to travel to make sure they get their day in iowa. i think it hurts bernie sanders the lea

we'll take you to the capitol to hear from the republican leader kevin mccarthy. >> we watched the president yesterday sign the u.s.-mexico-canada strayed agreement. this is a massive win for america. mexico is our number one trader and canada is our second. it only makes us stronger by every indication and measurement. the sad part was i didn't see any public comments and support from the speaker of the house yesterday. but back on capitol hill democrats continue to be obsessed with their thinnest, weakest and mort partisan impeachment in the history of the united states. and the ring leader of it all, chairman adam schiff lied once again. he was asked a direct question about his interactions with the whistle-blower and repeated the same lines he said in the past. 17 of the 18 transcripts have been let go. one has not. 179 pages that the inspector general, i wonder why. what's interesting is having been linked to the new york times. if we'd ever imagine if any of this was bad for the president, it first be leaked and then released. interesting to me that adam schiff said he couldn't release

[chatter] [laughter] announcer: in his weekly news briefing, house minority leader kevin mccarthy responded to pelosi's remarks about when she would send over the articles of impeachment. he also defended the administration's briefing to lawmakers about the situation with iran, including the killing of general qassem soleimani. rep. mccarthy: good morning, chet. good morning, everybody else. [laughter] he just corrects me every time. all right. we're on our first week back in session of a new year and the majority in this house is really only focused on two things. first, stalling of their self -described urgent impeachment, and secondly, blaming america for iran's escalation. now, let's first talk about the impeachment. we could sit and read and listen to lawmakers in speaker pelosi's own party have no idea what she's doing. senator feinstein, the senator from california, my senator, and speaker pelosi's senator, but she's even more, she's the hometown senator for nancy pelosi. she said, the longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes. so if it's serious and urgent, send them over. if it

. >> kevin mccarthy held his weekly news conference one day after the house delivered the articles of impeachment against president trump to the senate. rep. mccarthy: where is chad? i want to congratulate him on his new promotion. tell him we congratulate him on his new promotion. he gets promoted, he commits coming. -- quits coming. republicans in the house and across the country have good news from the conference chair this morning with liz cheney and now, she will remain in the house. she's a fighter and a powerful voice for conservatives and is the type of person we need to help us lead the charge to win back the majority. i speak on behalf of our members when i say thank you for your commitment to the republican party and the vision that will truly help propel americans across the country for a better future. ist you need to read into it there is a real chance we will win the majority. the idea that our chair had the opportunity to go to the senate and stayed here, i think her. let me shift to what we saw yesterday. thempaign stunt for democrats. they took americans harder to di

adviser, robert o'brien, was here with him at mar-a-lago, as well as the house minority leader, kevin mccarthyok at this. this is an instagram post from mccarthy just hours ago, that really showcases the president around his resort of mar-a-lago. it shows him with president trump, as well as jared kushner, his son-in-law, and a presidential adviser. along with the deputy press secretary, hogan giddily, in different various positions around the resort. in this post, mccarthy praises president trump. he logged these actions. but not all u.s. lawmakers are on the same page. and unsurprisingly, the deep divide is among party lines. republicans onboard with what mccarthy said. onboard with the president. we heard from senator graham tweeting this. saying, price of killing and injuring americans has just gone up drastically. if iranian aggression continues and i worked at an iranian oil refinery, i would think about a new career. unsurprisingly, democrats are on the other side of this. they say there's concern about how this went down and what happens next. no congressional authority. no approval fo
