>> john: because kevin walling did not want to do it.ative outlets to have had sex in a hearing room is no longer employed. conservative news outlets allege the video showed men having sex in a senate hearing room. compare that to hour wjz in baltimore reported, an aide to a prominent senator left his job after allegations of personal sexual conduct. >> republican pounce and conservative pounce strategy applied to a factual story. i mean, this happened, this person did it, he posted it on the internet, it was discovered and senator cardin's office announced he had left the building. so, it's really kind of a cut and dried factual situation. >> john: but the knee jerk reaction, oh, blame conservatives for it. >> blame conservatives. look, this was pretty embarrassing, obviously. what happens is this aide and a companion go to hart 216, it's a big hearing room. >> john: 911 commission, supreme court nominees. >> all the really famous things the president does, like the senate does, like confirming supreme court nominees, they do it in hart

spokesperson and host of morgan ortagus show morgan ortagus and former biden campaign surrogate kevin walling. each day we are getting new horrifying reports of what hamas terrorists have done to israeli women during their final moments on october 7. gruesome assaults of rape from eyewitnesses with details too graphic for us to describe on air. hamas released some female hostages, israeli officials believe 18 others are being held by the terrorist group. u.s. state department says hamas may be refusing to release those women in order to keep them quiet. >> it seems one reason they don't want to turn women over they have been holding hostage, they don't want the women to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody. there is little i put beyond hamas when it comes to treatment of civilians and treatment of women. >> emily: atrocities continue, so does silence from several women's groups who refuse to condemn hamas's heinous acts. several took took to speak out against hamas. >> when i saw the list of woman's rights organizations who have said nothing, i nearly choked. where is

let's stick with the politics of that and more with democratic strategist kevin walling and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. so kevin we were just breaking this down a couple minutes ago, what, 26, 27 days depending on your accounting. >> in the heat of it. >> rich: yeah, from the iowa caucuses. this is what we have trump rcp average, real clear politics, 51.4, desantis 19.4, haley at 16. does this become a race in iowa? >> i don't believe so. if anything this court ruling actually helps with republican base supporters. you've already seen donald trump's campaign send out multiple e-mails touting this court ruling. he's already fund raising off this decision in colorado. so naturally i think it actually kind of zaps a little bit of nikki haley's momentum that we saw with her numbers obviously in south carolina and in new hampshire. >> rich: jason, what do you think of that? >> i think kevin's right on that. i think this just infewer rates republicans. how is it that four democrats are in a court rule are going to exclude the guy who's beating joe biden? the guy who's leading -- yo

. >> john: kevin walling, former biden campaign surrogate, and matt, former senior adviser to tim scott where we are on the election in a second, but this breaking news that jack smith, special counsel is going to the supreme court to immediately, by december 18th, get an opinion on whether donald trump is immune from prosecution in the january 6th case. >> seems unprecedented to be this tight of a timeline to compress it, in reality, aim for a conviction before the election, certainly before most of next year takes place. what i would caution democrats and anybody else from a political lens, if you want to make 2024 about january 6th, about 2020, you do so at your own peril. people are more concerned about 2024 and their pocket books than what happened in the past. >> john: he wants the march date for the trial, set to go ahead,. are you seeing this as a political move? >> i think jack smith is an incredibly skilled prosecutor, he sees where the case is headed to the march 4th trial start and the idea, he's going to anticipate that this is likely to be appealed to the supreme court, a

david avella and kevin walling. thank you so much for talking to us. first of all, i just want to read this comment from jim mcgovern, a democrat of massachusetts saying that this is a profoundly stupid resolution but here is his reason why. under republican control this chamber has become a place where trivial issues get debated passionately and goes on to say basically before june the house has censured members 24 times in history but basically republicans are using this as an excuse to try to delay votes, to try to block bills from getting passed. isn't that exactly what bowman was trying to do? trying to delay a vote which would have prevented a government shutdown. he should not only be charged for doing something illegally pulling a fire alarm but could have been responsible for preventing the government from staying open. those have repercussions, do they not? >> congressman bowman may be taking heat from republicans today but the fact of the matter is he is getting pry married by a democrat because of his position on israel. there will be a lot

jessica anderson, president and former executive director of heritage action, and kevin walling, democraticormer biden campaign surrogate, wholly qualified to say about the last comment. >> i loved it. i thought it was a great debate. we were talking before. i thought sean hannity did a fantastic job, they covered so much ground, from abortion, to immigration, to the state of the economy, comparing red states, blue states, florida, california, fantastic. >> sandra: kevin makes a great point, a win getting them on the stage together. a conversation that did not happen prior to last night. >> we know where the democratic left is on issues like crime, parental rights, immigration, abortion, it was clear. and newsom was charming. pulled out the charm, the good feels. >> flashed those pearly whites, the great hair. >> every single time sean put up a graphic, a statistic from the cdc, from biden's government, there was no way for newsom to credibly defend his record in california. so who won, florida won. desantis won because of the record, how he governed, and newsom's father in lou relocating a

wall street, is inflation licked? good question. that's got a beautiful chart. keviner chair of the council of economic advisers during the trump administration and author of the most important book of the 21st century, "stopping america's flight to socialism." the top of "the wall street journal"'s web site. we have a picture full screen of the chart. put up the chart. there it is. okay, that's the pce deflater, personal consumption expend yours deflater. in common english, that's the fed's preferred measure of inflation. so there it goes, shooting way up to 9% -- actually, it's 7% on this measure. and now, kevin, it's all the way down to 3%. wall street is in a panic about lower inflation. i guess loving it. stocks are going up. bond rates have come down, the 10-year has gone from, what, over 5, now just above 4, almost 100 basis points' drop in a couple weeks. and i'm also interested in energy pricesment brent -- prices. brent crude, $74 a barrel. that was close to $100 a month or two, and west texas, $69 a barrel. gasoline, $3.20. so, kevin hassett, have we conque

adopted into a really brilliant netflix documentary, and on my immediate left is kevin mcwhirter, correspondent for the wall street journal, and coauthor of this new book, american gone: the true story of the ar-15. cameron was previously the author of red summer, the summer of 1919, and the awakening of black america, about the racial violence of that era. so, i am going to start actually with jeff and ask you a little bit about -- i'm going to ask you a little bit about the style of your book, because it is part travel log, part meditation. you yourself are a character in it. and essentially, you are going around a lot of places in america and talking to people with some pretty interesting beliefs. and how did you go about this project and writing it this way? >> thanks. the subtitle scenes from a slow civil war are partly because i think that kind of ambiguous term suggests the conflict that we are in and how the cover of this conflict is sort of amorphous and different from what we have experienced before. the book is an attempt to find out. it is in some ways a kind of implicit critique of myself. ther

nancy pelosi would still be and congress, serving with grace and respect and kevin mccarthy would be retired, hanging out at wallliday functions, i never would have believed you. but this is politics. >> and this is where we are. luke, when we hear, now, republicans are going to have such a narrow majority, it's going to be so difficult for them to pass anything, they're not really trying to pass anything, though? >> i mean, other than their messaging bills that will have no chance of passing the senate. i mean, you are seeing that play out with the border debate right now. and the funding for ukraine and israel, where house republicans are insisting on their border bill, which not a single democrat voted for in the house. they made no attempt to find a part of some compromise in the house. that that is the line they're drawing floor. aid to ukraine and israel, it is this parliament bill that they've -- only republicans will vote for. so yes. it's tougher for them to pass things. but are they really even trying to pass things with democrats? and there are trite record to tie it has been to simply pass those righ

kevin mccarthy leaves the congress. i think what will be interesting in mccarthy's case, jose, and he's alluding to this in his op-ed in the "wallis that he's not just going to go away quietly. kevin mccarthy is what we call in congress and in politics a political animal. he was not a policy wonk, a man focused on election nearing, on raising funds, on getting republicans elected in competitive districts. i think you're going to see a kevin mccarthy that stays very active on that front and that also focuses on those who pushed him out and on perhaps intervening in republican primaries in some of these districts that are represented by more radical members that house republican leadership has resented over the years for pushing the house i chaos and also for just being obstacles to a lot of the priorities that house republican leadership has wanted to advance. >> and, carlos, so santos out last week, mccarthy out as of january. how does that leave any possibility for anything to be either done or attempts of getting anything done in the house of representatives at least in the majority, slim as it is going to be, going forward. >

kevin mccarthy will do next. he did offer some clues in this op-ed in the "wall street journal." i want to read you part of what he wrote. he said i decided to part the house at the end of this year to serve america in new ways. i know my work is only getting started. i will continue to recruit our country's best and brightest to run for elected office. the republican party is expanding every day, and i'm committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders. he also made clear he had has no regrets, including about the decision to put a bill on the floor with the demsupport of democrats that led to his ouster. so we'll see what.comment county decides to do next, but in the meantime, i'm told that house republicans are planning to toast kevin mccarthy at a party next week. this is something that was planned before his public announcement. republicans weren't expecting him to retire. they just wanted to thank him. >> thank you. appreciate it. there's a lot of breaking news. right now we have a brand new cnn poll about president biden and his approval rating.

house speaker kevin mccarthy, who was ousted from his leadership post in october, is calling it quits after 17 years in congress. mccarthy wrote wednesday in the "wall street journal" that he will be officially resigning at the independ of the year. those on both sides of the aisle had this reaction -- >> kevin served the house with great distinction for a long, long time. he brought us back to the majority. he of course served as speaker. but his leadership in so many different ways will be missed around here. >> i had a very good working relationship with kevin mccarthy. and i wish kevin and his family nothing but the best in terms of the next chapter approximately in his life. >> since losing the speakership, mccarthy's attendance at gop meetings is said to have been sporadic. >>> latest batch of u.s. aid for ukraine hit a stumbling block in the senate last night. the bill would also set aside more money for israel, taiwan and u.s. border security. but republicans said no to it because they want the white house to push for tougher immigration policies first. >> ukraine is very important. so is israel. so is taiwan. but nothing is more important t

: former speaker kevin mccarthy hinted this might be coming said there would be a decision made in december. we would have to decide whether he would run for reelection, today in a "walltreet journal" op-ed, he made is official he is leaving washington and not running for reelection, following his ouster where a few republicans, joined with democrats fire kevin mccarthy from his job as speaker, kev kevin mccarthy is not li leaving the fight, he is leaves republicans with a slimmer majority, now republicans can lose 3 republican vote target any of their ajoina passed on the floor. a predicament that could mean republicans who fired mccarthy as speaker, now may have made working with democrats mandatory to get anything passed on the house floor, things got a lot trickier are in republicans in the new year. larry: how ironic. hillary vaughn thank you. >> we appreciate it. >> okay, we have special here, first up ab -- biden claims that 50 democrat could bite pbeat trump. >> do you think there are any democrats that could beat donald trump rather than. >> probably 50 of them. >> you have to have words written below like a -- no one can understand him. joining me dagen mcdo

most recently, the "wall street journal" poll with the hypothetical matchup between him and donald trump. >> i wonder, while we heard from kevin liptak who said there are people in the white house who hesitate to even talk with the president about what's going on, because it's such a sensitive issue. at the same time, sophia, do you find that they are going to have to look at this as an opportunity, perhaps, to kind of humanize the president, families who deal with family members who have addictions don't always make the best decisions in the world. hunter biden has actually talked about it in his memoir. when we talked to one of our legal analysts today, he helped remind everyone that hunter biden did pay all of the taxes, the penalties, et cetera, and so this case is revealing a lot about what hunter biden went through. but i wonder if that's going to be a calculus that the white house uses, because they can't get away from it. at some point they're going to have to talk about it, right? >> yeah, i think biden's closest advisers have recognized that. they're not running away from hunter biden and the legal issues that he's f

kevin mccarthy is leaving congress by the end of the year. the republican announced this today in the wallurnal. he said he has decided to depart the house to serve america in the ways. hard right conservatives engineered his ouster back in october. he is the first speaker to be voted out of the job. there is new evidence that 2023 is set to be the warmest year on record. european union scientists report that november was the sixth month in a row to break heat marks. this came today as the climate summit wrapped up its first week of meetings in dubai amid debate about phasing out fossil fuels. the climate commissioner appeal for bolder action. >> the science is crystal clear. i will repeat it here. we have no alternative but to follow what scientists fellows. they are telling us we are not on track. i want this to mark the beginning of the end for fossil fuels. >> the climate summit continues through tuesday. still to come, the 21st anniversary of the space station. also, an author discusses his new book about american evangelicals in political extremism. and we reflect on the life of lege

of us who have known and covered kevin mccarthy smiled, nodded, maybe were minorly amused by his own description of persistently cheerful, that is what he said in his "walleet journal" op-ed. i have to be honest, i was not surprised to see that he was leaving. were you? >> no, and look, this has been the stunning rise and stunning fall of kevin mccarthy this year. but look, his time with the gavel and his time in the house had been difficult all year long. it started with the protracted speaker's race in generjanuary after that, it was legislative battle after legislative battle. him getting pushed to the right at times, squeezed by those conservatives. and of course it came down to his decision to put a clean continuing resolution on the floor to avert a government shutdown. and that was the last straw for eight led by matt gaetz bringing the motion to vacate and deposing mcscar acarthy from hi position. so after that speculation swirled would you stay in the game, would he stay out, would he run for re-election, finish his term. he openly said this was a tough decision and it would be a gut decision. at the end of the day, he decided to tap out early.

noon, former house speaker and california congressman kevin mccarthy says he'll leave office at the end of this year. wrote an op ed in today's wall street journal stressing his days of public service are not over. mccarthy wrote he'll serve america in new ways, adding, i know my work is only getting started. mccarthy was elected to the california state assembly in 2002, before winning a seat in congress in 2006. while he didn't specifically explain why he's resigning from congress, mccarthy did say he'll continue to recruit republican candidates to run for office this move further cuts the already narrow gop majority and is expected to make passing legislation in 2024 even more challenging. >> the pleasant hill pilot accused of trying to cut the engines of an alaska airliner full of people mid-flight has been indicted. but no longer faces charges of attempted murder. instead, joseph emerson was charged with 83 misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and one felony charge of endangering an aircraft at the 44 year old is accused of trying to shut down the plane's engines during a flight to san francisco. he was stopped and rest

kevin mccarthy is leaving the house. he will not seek re-election. and he details this and announces it in a "walli'm leaving the house but not the fight. my work is only getting started in my next chapter. i'm at opti mist. i'm the son of a firelight. i served in the same office in which i was once denied an internship. only in america, he says. you will remember it took him north of a dozen votes to get the speaker seat and then once he had it, he had agreed to a situation where someone could come forth with a case against him and get him ousted and that's what happened. so now he is determining he will not seek re-election as a representative and will leave at the very end of this year. breaking news with former house speaker, also representative by the end of the year, kevin mccarthy. house democrats are reportedly preparing resolution. it will condemn hamas's use of sexual assault against israeli women. this comes as far left congresswoman jayapal has doubled down now on her very controversial comments about sex assaults committed in israel on october 7th during the massacre. that's what the

if past is prologue, than kevin mccarthy's very recent past shows you both where the republican party is headed, and, many people think, potentially into a wall if it has no adjustment process for what remains a very unpopular and indicted former president. but how did we get here? well, mccarthy used to sound much more like a standard issue republican. the 2000 republican national convention, bush versus gore, he was actually chair of the young republicans national federation. >> welcome, kevin mccarthy. >> ladies and gentlemen, i have an important announcement. al gore did not invent the internet. but the young republicans and why roc.com revolutionized it. we believe in freedom. we believe an opportunity. we believe in the free market. we believe in taking responsibility for our own future. we believe individuals can soar higher when they are unbound by the shackles of oppressive big government. abraham lincoln taught us the value of unity. theodore roosevelt taught us to dare greatly. we take the great lessons of the past and apply them to a changing future. >> that was a quarter century ago, give or take. 23 years. i just want to sit wit

walls are closing in on the president himself. as house republicans are moving toward a formal impeachment and query. the senior national correspondent kevin corke's live in d.c. with more on this, kevin, good evening. >> trays, things are heating up on capitol hill with respect of possible impeachment of president biden. as you know, the house g.o.p. released a resolution to formalize its impeachment inquiry into the president with a full house vote plan for next week. but if there is more, the resolution also a trio of committee leaders receiving the probes to randall mora witnesses and documents. it is the let 'er rip house g.o.p. leaders made to believe that ultimately lead to the president himself, talking documents. that is, of course by way of his son hunter biden who has been indicted on federal charges on alleged tax and financial crimes. but the younger biden tonight remains defiant. in fact, he's accusing republicans of using him to get to his dad. >> they are trying to destroy a presidency. so it's not about me. and the most base way, what they are trying to do is they are trying to kill me, knowing that it would be a pain that

being ousted as house speaker, congressman kevin mccarthy said today he is resigning and will leave congress by the end of the year. he made that announcement in a wall street journal editorial writing, quote, no matter the odds or personal cost, we did the right thing. mccarthy's resignation caps off a remarkable political career for the republican from bakersfield who went from the california assembly to the us house. he was elected speaker in january but was eventually forced out by the gop's hard right faction who were angry with mccarthy's willingness to work with democrat brats to avoid a government shutdown. mccarthy was the only house speaker in history to be voted out of the job. >> for more on the implications of mccarthy's departure, we are joined by stephen wolpert, a professor of politics at saint mary's college. thanks so much for being here today. always a pleasure. so let's start off with your reaction. is this unexpected and why do you think he decided against serving out his term? >> i think those close to him thought that this would happen. there was a lot of speculation and he wouldn't rule it out, even weeks ago, i think three th
