leader's make sure that kevin mccarthy is speaker.evin mccarthy in a new republican majority in the united states house of representatives. [applause] so we all have work to do. and i know you are up to the task. i saw the way this party, this movement led i were nation back in 2016. and i just know each and every one of you are going to do your part this year to reelect this president and elect and reelect sound,cans with strong, conservative principles every day. i heard the other day that democracy is on the ballot. thei think we all know economy is on the ballot. [applause] law and order is on the ballot. our most cherished ideals of freedom and free markets are on the ballot. that is why we need four more years of president donald trump in the white house. [applause] [chanting "four more years"] so i'm going to slip away because i have a feeling somebody else will be here before too long. and as i said, i will have more to say about the action you took today come wednesday night at fort mchenry. but i need to tell you, it is the

and i agree with kevin mccarthy, loder kevin mccarthy when he says there is no room in the party foreople on the fringes like that, that embrace what i would say is pretty disruptive and can be be potentially dangerous rhetoric out there. you know, the people that, for me, represent the party are people like tim scott and the people that stood up and are now concerned about what's going on in the country. you have to understand, qanon, what they're worried about is nothing that the country really should be concerned about right now. there are outrageous conspiracy theory, and i agree with scott. the president should just dismiss it. instead of saying i don't know, i hear that they like me, you don't want to be associated with a group like that. and certainly republicans don't want to be associated with a group like that when we've got other things to worry about. we've got the economy. we've got to make sure that people are being fed and that they're healthy, that they're able to get a job. i mean, i just want us to get away from the nonsense and start focusing on the things that are

maria: senator lindsey graham with breaking news coming up house minority leader kevin mccarthy is here taking us inside of congress' failed stimulus negotiations he'll tell us who he thinks joe biden's runningmate will be and we'll have a lot more coming up on "sunday morning futures."

we are not seeing kevin mccarthy or mitch mcconnell be in the stocks themselves. host: i was going to ask you

gop house leader kevin mccarthy and south carolina senator tim scott are both keynote speakers, leader mccarthy is also the rnc chairman and they join me now with their first-ever interview together good morning, gentlemen it's great to have you. >> good morning, maria. >> good morning, good to be with you. maria: so congressman, i want to start with you, because you are in washington, the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi called everybody back to vote on the post office funding. what can you tell us? >> well she created this problem that wasn't there. she called us back for a special session of congress, saying that the post office was in dire need but when you talk to the commissioners and others, they're not republicans but just go to ruth goldway an 18 year commissioner democrat appointed by bill clinton. she said the post office has no problem they could deliver all the mail. if you delivered all the mail that you wanted when it came to elections that's only three- quarters of what they do on a regular day but nancy pelosi said they were out of money but when you looked at their

gop house leader kevin mccarthy was on the frontlines of the congressional negotiations. he joins me now with more. good morning, congressman. always a pleasure to see you thank you for being here. what was the problem? why couldn't the democrats and republicans come together on this much-needed stimulus? >> well it's not something unusual. remember, every time we've done legislation, when it comes to covid, nancy pelosi has always held it up for her own personal wish list. remember when we did the cares act? she held it up for more than a week when thousands of people were being unemployed, because she wanted more money for the arts and the kennedy center. when that critical money came through for the small businesses that went to the employees, remember the ppe and we were running out of money, she held it up again in that famous video in front of her refrigerator for ice cream that she didn't care, so thousands of more people were laid off, and now, when we were sitting here coming forward with people unemployed again, she held it up over the issue of pot and she belie

kevin mccarthy the minority leader in the house. he never called for rapid testing for you.alled for it for people on capitol hill. we don't need them taking care of themselves. we need them taking care of you and getting rapid testing for the entire country. that is what he has to call for. he never has. i invite him on to this show to do so. i would be happy to hear. our president has never said what the republican congressman from illinois just said on this show. he has never said there should be rapid testing, quick turn around like the uk for everybody, and he is going to make it happen. he went out with show and tell once for rapid testing but never did anything about it. that's the truth. all right. more truth. never told you this before. so i'm sick, right? and i'm in bed. and there were several people who reached out and really kind of changed my relationship with them. really kind of showed themselves to care about me at a time when i needed it. all right? now, one of them was taking care of me even though she was also taking care of herself at the same time and it

kevin mccarthy can join us in the future to pick up where we left off. as a reminder, and this is something we mention whenever we have a guest who is active on either side of the partisan fence in politics we do our , best. the whole team does a tremendous job of bringing in a wide range of ideological perspectives. and opinions. as i mentioned earlier, we were fortunate enough to have representative adam schiff last month. we have others joining us in a few weeks. tim scott came on a couple weeks ago to talk about justice reform. so we know that sometimes you will find someone who you are really excited about, and sometimes others you are excited about too. but for different reasons. kevin mccarthy, we are very grateful you have taken the time to join us today. it is great to see you again. we're grateful for your time and grateful for your service. rep. mccarthy: dan, thank you. for everybody, we may have difference of opinion, but in this country today, we are more alike one another. i will leave you with this. i admire your ability to be bipartisan.

joining me now, house minority leader, kevin mccarthy.t could nancy pelosi possibly be thinking after watching this series of testimonials about our love for this country and the respect for house the president has put americans interests firsts in every decision. >> she has two fears. she wonders why she wasted the majority and now she's wondering why she wasted the democrat convention. ours is hope versus despair. helping versus defunding. we're talking about cures instead of shutting down the country. no greater contrast. >> we have marine one landing behind us. i'll shout over that for a bit. the president coming back from fort mchenry after an incredible night. congressman mccarthy, a lot of folks and we talked about this earlier, women especially, i would say, tone and emotion, matters to everybody. but women, it matters. how you come across to people. what do you say tonight to the people watching about what you've seen from the president behind closed doors repeatedly in your interactions with him? the toughness, yes. but what els

kevin mccarthy, the leader of the republicans in the house is expected to speak thursday night. mark in stroudsburg, pennsylvania. caller: how are you doing? 1989, i won elected office as a committee person is a democrat -- as a democrat. since then, i have seen the democratic party be hijacked by communists. they are nothing but communists these days. they have communist ideals, they want to take this country into communism. we have had men and women fight and die for the freedom we have and the democrats are not what they used to be. joe biden, you can't trust word the man says. i have seen the man do nothing but live for 47 years. he has lied his way through politics. he is a liar. host: what are the favorability ratings? what are the polls showing for these candidates? post the democrat convention i think people -- we did not have the balloon drop.

house republican leader kevin mccarthy through a spokesperson said yesterday he welcomes her and otherublicans winning if they do win in november and do expect her to win because of the fact of that district heavily republican district and nancy pelosi the house speaker told me yesterday that it appears that the republicans are comfortable with this qanon conspiracy theory and just asked at a press conference moments ago about the comment that marjorie taylor greene said about her cursing about her a couple of days dog and nancy pelosi said this. >> you know what? do you know how little attention i pay when the president of the united states calls me horrible things? i don't pay attention to that. it's a judgment to be made about them as to who they welcome into their ranks. >> reporter: and one of the reasons why the republicans have not really spoken out much is the fact that the president gave her a full throated endorsement yesterday morning calling her a real winner, a republican star. putting republican leadership in an awkward spot and that's why we haven't heard much from them

senator tom cotton, kevin mccarthy, who you saw in today's proceedings. as well as the president's daughter of ivanka trump and senior advisor speaking thursday. this text -- president trump is the only candidate who will stand up for the little guy, nominate fair, constitutional justices and help rebuild the economy. peggy, a republican. >> how are you today? >> i am doing well. >> i am just fine. i want to thank the -- c-span for the broadcast. i agree that this is the place to be if you want to know what is taking place today. we want to extend our thanks to the delegates in the beautiful state of washington for unanimous representation today. fascinating here waiting to come up in the queue. i want to thank nancy for her comments earlier and i agree the president is a boisterous person and i am very grateful for that. also want to recognize jerome. i am a musician and we are getting antsy in the forced lockdown. you cannot make live music in a mask. >> i have been watching all along. i think the way you guys cover this is great because i was switching

>> well nancy pelosi called kevin mccarthy an en it any of the state.mocrat congressman questioned his blackness this week because he happened to speak at the rnc. public safety is the number one function of government and if you've got a three-time ncaa wrestling champion who is asking for a ride out of somewhere you know it's out of control. rand paul is an eye doctor. jim jordan was a national champion wrestler so if he's asking for a ride out of some place you know it's out of control, public safety is on the ballot in november. the contrast is pretty stark. steve: congressman jordan, you obviously watched the rand paul interview about 15 minutes ago. he suggested that it was organized, and some of the people who were outside who were protesting various people were being paid or at least transported there. they flew in and stuff like that what do you know about that? >> i don't know other than what the president said when he said antifa should be labeled a terrorist organization, and we know -- steve: was that antifa last night? >> well we don't kno

a spokesman for house republican leader kevin mccarthy said they were appalling. trump was quick to herald her victory saying in a tweet wednesday morning, a future republican star and a real winner. a couple hours later, a mccarthy spokesperson said we look forward to greene and other republicans winning in november. asked on wednesday about greene's victory in georgia, and embrace of the fringe movement, house speaker nancy pelosi told cnn that republicans seem comfortable with it. >> now there have been other house republican candidates who have embraced this theory, but most of them have no chance of winning in the fall. there is another candidate in colorado, lauren bobert who did praise this theory back in -- during her primary, but her campaign, she does not follow the qanon theory. it appears that greene could be the one person she looks poised to win that could put her party in an awkward spot if she's walking these halls next year. >> not that awkward. went from calling it appalling to welcoming her candidacy and welcoming her winning. that's a 180. manu

joining me now, republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy.ave you with us, and let's turn to the postmaster general. this is quite a mess, and the left, the radical dems are trying to make as much of it as they can. it's really quite something. your thoughts about all that's unfolding including hearings in the house, the senate and mitch mcconnell apparently doesn't run the senate anymore, at least not in the interest of the republican party or the president of the united states. >> well, there's nothing the democrats won't politicize. first the pandemic, i now they're trying the mail offices. i mean, think about it, if you listened to the convention last night, they have no message for america. is so they rely on misinformation and mailbox myths. you have now the postmaster who's actually run businesses successfully, made 'em efficient, and the democrats are complaining about things that happened during the obama administration. so the postmaster literally said decisions that he did not make, he's making sure they're stopped between now expe

>> i think it's terrible, and ironically, kevin mccarthy and tom cole have been trying to lead a charget the speaker of the house to identify where we can get testing modalities to capitol hill. it's not just about us the members of congress, but the staff on the hill, it's about the media who are covering the stories that are important to the nation. they deserve testing capabilities too. and right now, on -- on the capitol hill, we don't have any. it's a travesty. >> look, after representative gohmert got it, there were questions about whether members of the caucus were taking it seriously. gohmert hadn't been wearing a mask all that regularly and when he did he was all over it and everything. do you think that people who are walking the halls need to do more this? >> i can tell you from my personal experience when we were out there which we were for the last two weeks almost every republican and democrat takes it very seriously. look, it wasn't just -- it wasn't just louie that got diagnosed but representative raul grijalva who was following all of the protocols he thought to follow.

and then kevin mccarthy in 2015.ee if you see similarities. >> more we expose of the corruption of the transition process between obama and trump, more we expose the corruption within the agencies i would think would certainly help donald trump win re-election and certainly be pretty good -- i would say evidence for not voting for vice president biden. >> everyone thought hillary clinton was unbeatable right? but we put together a benghazi special smocommittee. her numbers are dropping. >> it's like deja vu all over again. >> funny you say the quiet part allow. kevin mccarthy got a lot of trouble, criticism in the before times for actually saying what we all knew was true, weaponizing congressional investigations for partisan purposes. ron johnson says that now, barely a blip. saying the investigations are more important than looking at what russia is doing at this very moment to undermine the election to help donald trump. at some point republicans might have to say something -- i take that back, no they don't. lear
