>> kevin mccarthy has tried in 2015. he has since set his sights on unifying people that didn't like him. so jim jordan who was threatening to challenge him in 2015 is now an ally and he has tried hard to unite all the wings and branches of the republican conference. however that it's hard when you have tried to make friends with everyone and try to push them through onto bill or some sort of must pass legislation. it's just difficult when you try to bring people together in a republican congress that is not necessarily unified on a lot of things.es republicans don't like spending bills, they don't like increasing spending and it's going to be hard for any republican speaker to negotiate a deal with joe biden. and we're going to see kevin mccarthy who doesn't have a relationship with joe biden. 2000 republicans if they would vote for an omnibus if kevin mccarthy came to them and said i need your help getting this giant spending bill through, we've seen other spending bills come through congress this past several years. t

you might have guessed, there was no pushback from republican, kevin mccarthy, the man who wants to be the next speaker of the house, at the suggestion that anti-bullying programs are actually indoctrinating children into marks some. that is because, mccarthy wants that culture war nonsense, and that energy, to mobilize the base, and suck up the oxygen. again, to stop people from voting, and talking, about abortion. this is interesting, when you look at this document. the gop agenda, has one scant mention of abortion rights, but is telling. protect the lives of unborn children, and their mothers. now, to be clear, it is simply untrue to say, republicans care about protecting the lives of pregnant people. they have shown themselves not to. the abortion restrictions they have already pushed through, that are in the country right now, in states, post roe, make that clear. let me give an example. in arkansas, a mother of two was forced to flee the state, to receive an abortion, after she learned that her pregnancy was non viable, at 19 weeks. that is after the cut off of the lindsey graham

that's where kevin mccarthy will be speaking. a dean is working that part of the story for us. so jessica, what do we expect to hear from mccarthy tonight? >> reporter: well, pamela, we are getting excerpts now from what we expect to hear from him, confirming what a source told me earlier that he's going to call on joe biden to apologize for calling some americans fascists. i'll read you part of that excerpt we're getting. he's expected to say, "when the president speaks tonight at independence hall, the first lines out of his mouth should be to apologize for slandering tens of millions of americans as fascists." again, that's an excerpt we are expected to hear from kevin mccarthy, who is here to draw the contrast he wants to paint tonight's speech by the president as divisive. we expect him to try to craft that message, and say that the president is dividing americans, not bringing them together. we also know that mccarthy wants to bring the issues back to what gop members want to be talking about, as they head into the midterms

predictable speeches here in the commonwealth of pennsylvania tonight. >> and we should note kevin mccarthy did say outright the economy is in a recession. there is no consensus about that among economists. phil mattingly, you have reporting along with kevin liptak and kaitlan collins setting the stage for the president's speech tonight. one official is quoted as saying this speech is not about donald trump, it's about democracy. as jeff zeleny noted, donald trump will be looming large. i want to talk a little bit more as we look ahead to that and wondering if white house officials are paying attention to what kevin mccarthy is saying ahead of the president's speech tonight. >> a good sign they probably is when the white house press secretary was asked about some of mccarthy's remarks related to this speech earlier today. in a statement, she had a very scripted rebuttal laying out in detail how mccarthy's position on january 6th and in the wake of january 6th had shifted over the course of a several-month period as he realigned himself with former president donald trump. i think white house

here is a portion, let's play it back to back, not only did kevin mccarthy talk about it but presidentfront of teachers unions didn't talk about education, talked about politics, here's mccarthy and then president biden's response. >> we can secure our border. we can become energy independent, the price of gas is lower. we can build and education system that has a parents bill of rights. we could be a check and balance, rain in this government going after the individuals. if you believe like us, join with us. this job won't be easy. >> president biden: after opposing, obstructing everything we tried to do to stop progress for the last two years the house in order leader kevin mccarthy went to pennsylvania and unveiled what he calls a commitment to america. we didn't hear him mention the right to choose, we didn't hear him mention medicare, we didn't hear him mention social security. will: an attempt to define the republican party's message 46 days until the election. this is what the fight is about and once i announced republican's want to find the election is a choice in terms of infl

so do you believe kevin mccarthy would be a good speaker?ld you discourage other republicans from trying to challenge him in the leadership race? >> sure. look, he is the nf of the polls speaker and spent the time and both the organization and develop the commitment and raise the money. i think he is ready. i think he will be a very, very effective leader, and he will have to be strategic leader to do what we did with clinton. which is maneuver so that the american people got clinton to sign welfare reform, sign a balanced budget, signed tax cuts. those are not things democrats want to but clinton saw his future required him to do it. biden will place the same choice next year. i think mccarthy is the right person to have too, frankly, maneuver against a very left-wing white house. >> bill: just quickly speaker pelosi the extreme maga agenda, america's priority and lined with the politics with lower cost him a better paying jobs and safer communities. some of the reaction from the democratic side. thank you for your time. newt gingrich in d.

eugene, has there been more response to kevin mccarthy's speech?nt certainly had a strong one. >> yeah. mika, you talk to people here and they feel like these kinds of things, these kind of details from house republicans on what they would want to do if they were to take over the control of the congress is actually helpful for democrats and this white house to be able to use those things. it's not just the theoretical conversation of what democrats think republicans would do. this lines it out. and, you know, there weren't a lot of details in the plan that the house republicans put forth. that is often the case with these kinds of things. but what we did hear a lot of was a lot of the cultural war issues, doubling down on things we've heard republicans and. conservatives talk about for a really long time, things like abortion, things like more access to guns instead of less, and those out of step with where a lot o party is. we've seen piece of evidence after piece of evidence especially on abortion and dobbs this year that american people want mor

he turned to longtime ally kevin mccarthy, the top house republican. >> the white house viewed kevin mccarthy much as it had viewed him for the previous four years, which is as a totally willing accomplice and enabler of donald trump. at no point in the run-up to january 6 did kevin mccarthy say, "enough is enough, folks. the time to question and challenge the election is over."
