look at the people opposed -- it's marjorie taylor greene against lauren boebert. >> taylor greene is the voice of reason here. >> neither side to root for. i agree this is the tritist of the titanic-type mess that donald trump delivered on the gop and it's representative of that. in the long run, no speaker is going to have the ability to actually do big things and govern in a serious way with a five-vote lead. >> this is why chip roy's speech nominating jim jordan was so puzzling. he's talking about all these big grand ideas, he wants washington to stop running over the average american people. but how is that going to be accomplished with jim jordan as a speaker who still has the same five-vote problem that kevin mccarthy would have? and then on top of that, kevin mccarthy has basically said, hey, you guys do whatever you want. so to me it seems like kevin mccarthy -- chip roy said this isn't personal. it does seem personal. it seems personal in the sense that they don't think they can trust mccarthy for whatever reason -- >> because he's not trustworthy. >> it's the thing about se

because, lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, they are in the exact same part of the ideological spectrum within the republican party. and both election and i, is that both trump, staunch trump supporters. they are both people who have, you know, really shown no interest in necessarily basic or government functions at all. we have talked about. so, i think they would probably vote similarly on government funding bill, sondland, bills i mean we've seen time and time again where marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert a line on those. this isn't the fork in the road another words? >> that is why it is such a mistake to look on these as a fringe. the group is much bigger, they all want to investigate and there's not, up they all want to hang fauci the group is much bigger than 20. >> but the difference is tactical and strategic. that larger group says, we want to do that, stuff and we can't get to it, until we are sworn in. that, what you tell are green prevails, and helps kevin mccarthy become extremely we can now speak, or she's going to be much more empowered -- >> she saying they can d

christian nationalism is gaining political clout, a number of politicians like marjorie taylor green. lauren bober and republican pennsylvania ban atoria candidate, doug master nano. have all been increasingly in the spotlight while towing the christian nationalism line. is christian nationalism influence on the rise? or is it a matter of these voices being louder and taking up more space in the political discourse? it's both it's about. and that's something that we've seen really just in the last few months initially when scholars social scientists. and so we're surfacing this and saying this is christian nationalism and it's authoritarian and anti democratic . and to all of these other things we saw inside christian spaces, among those who are promoting christian nationalism deny that even existed and said, you're just mirroring us for being patriot. and within just weeks we saw the rhetoric shift and we saw people like marjorie taylor green, come out and say yes, i'm a christian nationalist nationalist lauren bober and proud of it and. and not just that, but all christians ought to be chr

green. come out and say yes, i'm a christian nationalist nationalist. lauren bober and proud of it and. and not just that, but all christians ought to be christian nationalists. and then all christians are christian nationalists. amanda, we have seen the overturning of roe v wade landmarks federal ruling, the guarantee the right to abortion. a wave of anti trans legislation government funding earmarked for religious education, all of its kind of part of an alarming shift in policy and judiciary rulings tied to the far right going forward. how is christian nationalism going to affect the fundamental and really the basis of civil rights for people in the united states? yeah, i think christian nationalism strikes at the very heart of civil rights for all americans. i've said that christian nationalism is the single biggest threat today for religious freedom for all, because a cut against that core foundational idea that are belonging in american diety should never depend on how we worship, or how we identify religiously and christian nationalism tries to blow all of that up. and so one par

part of this is based on what he's prossed marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert and negotiatingh matt gaetz and the most damning thing of this new letter of nine more members is the number of repelects. you have three incoming members who pretty much owe everything they can right now to a house republican conference and nrcc, a trump team that helped get them over the finish line, who their first act is to say you're not the guy to lead us. kevin mccarthy is in a tough spot. there is nobody else right now with more votes than he has, but he doesn't have enough to be speaker. i have said for months he's not going to be the next speaker of the house and i think that's what we'll see tomorrow. >> just to stay with you for a moment, i have her final, she wrote her dear colleague letter, a tremendous respect. she'll be a sort of senior emeritus batch bench, but not a back benture at all. not speaker but she still has tremendous respect. republicans may not like her, but everyone respects her. she could lead even a narrow majority. when she came in, her final majority was super narrow

we say, interesting appointments to powerful committees, rewarding paul gosar, marjorie taylor greene, laurenthers putting them in key post. is the 118th congress is ramping up, how does that play in the big picture of the congress and particularly investigations? >> reporter: first off we're seeing mccarthy pay the dividends from the speaker's race when he promised concessions to the right flank. specifically if we look at the house rules committee, which is a bit of an obscure committee but is really significant when you talk about legislation. kevin mccarthy promised three conservative members would sit on that committee. he followed through with that vow this week. that could have serious implications on holding up legislation because those three conservatives could be a veto block on bringing legislation to the floor and also the amendment and debate process. that's an area we can see the conservatives take hold. you mentioned investigations, those are already under way. particularly if you look at the house oversight committee, james comer, the chairman of that committee has been going

now this the energy department rushing to secure funds for its green initiatives. lauren?king for a ton of money aren't they? lauren: like 400 billion. stuart: did you say billion? lauren: billion. 394 billion to be exact as you're reading on the screen at the bottom there, so, the department of energy guarantees loans for certain energy projects. think green projects. it's called the loan program office. hey, it gave tesla secured a loan for $400 million back in 2010 and salindra, was half a trillion dollars. now it's working to give out 394 billion as fast as they can to commercialize green, while president biden is still in office. what can go wrong? stuart: well they are picking winners. they think the government can predict and pick winners, and they often cannot do that. lauren: companies apply and they determine whose worthy of money. stuart: the worst thing possible thanks, lauren. coming up, don't forget to send in your friday feedback, e-mail your questions, comments critiques to "varney"viewers@fox.com. mayors across the country are in d.c. dealing with out of c

in fact, the house oversight committee now very powerful will now include marjorie taylor greene, laurenrry and paul gosar. hard liner names serving in a powerful position. we also know marjorie taylor greene will be on the homeland security committee and gosar was also placed on natural resources. again, wolf, things are changing in the house and this is what we're seeing a lot of this is results of the deals kevin mccarthy was cutting to make sure he could become house speaker. wolf? >> and he is the new house speaker. jessica dean, thank you very, very much. let's discuss what's going on with democratic congressman of new york. lead counsel and former president trump's first impeachment trial and also a former for prosecutor. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. i want you to watch what your fellow new york congressman richie torres said today, actually said today as he called for an fec, a federal election committee investigation. listen to this. >> the web of incestuous relationships is not only cause for suspicion but grounds for investigation. stop perpetuating the sufferin

we now know that marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, lauren boebert, scott perry, andy biggs and annashed themselves as firebrand extremists. they haven't given important roles to play in the 118th congress. in fact, all of those people i named now sit on a very important house oversight committee. with powers to investigate the biden administration and the federal government more broadly. the question now is how other members of the republican party react. people like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. or any of the house republican moderates. or the biden white house. now we've got a taste of what that might look like today when the white house issued this surprisingly combative statements regarding those republican hard-liners. quote, it appears that house republicans may be setting the stage for divorced from reality political stunts. instead of engaging in bipartisan work on behalf of the american people. oversight chairman james comer once said his goal was to ensure the committee's work is credible. yet republicans are handing the keys of oversight to the most extreme maga

and months that there are a lot of headlines given to the far right voices like lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene, tucker carlsen, the number one show on television in america, new show, who have been questioning ukraine funding, calling for less of it, challenging it. as soon as that happens and we go to people even like kevin mccarthy, anyone in the republican middle, anyone who is a leader in those committees will say the opposite. it will say we understand with the war is about. the united states will continue to fund ukraine and build european assets that are being given to ukraine and they will make sure that russia is held in check and pushed back as much as possible. this commitment to america that he mentions, if you pull up the documents and read it, near the end of it you see a couple of winks and nods to the far right, including way which that puts -- accuses biden of putting america last. and that is the opposite of america first, which was donald trump's modern-day isolationism. there is debate to be had about that. but how many republicans think that biden is putting america at, ve

greene, who once claimed that some school shootings were staged. she is one of several far right conservatives and election deniers, including scott perry, lauren boebert, mark green, byron donalds, all given coveted committee assignments, many believe to be in exchange for backing kevin mccarthy as speaker. ali vitali is on capitol hill. congressman walsh is still with us. ali, how do you see these conservatives changing the way business gets done or what gets done on capitol hill? >> reporter: there's a lesson to be learned from this too. you can go and challenge, at that point, likely speaker, now current speaker kevin mccarthy, and not face any retribution when it comes to being on these committees. that was baked into the negotiating cake a few weeks ago when the conservative holdouts were negotiating with the camp and allies. the fact that they are on these committees is important from that perspective. but also in terms of the way that things get done, you look at the fact that we are probably going to be covering a lot of hearings from the judiciary and oversight committee with had of those members who you just referenced. many of whom were ele
