host: this is our guest, representative michael lawler. in new jersey, republican line, you are on with our guest. go ahead. caller: thank you. our economy is based on essential workers. we need safety nets for people. that being said, if you want to have a realistic approach, why don't you cut paying these private health insurance companies? they make $20 million per year for a job people could do for $200,000 per year. why and i subsidizing private health care companies in the administration fees that cost millions of dollars? guest: i certainly appreciate the need for a social safety net. we have as a country in states like mine in new york, and certainly years in new jersey, we have a rather robust social safety net to provide for the neediest among us and those who are vulnerable and cannot necessarily take care of themselves. it is our responsibility as a society. we will continue to do that. but there are limitations on the total spend that we have in this country. it is always, to me, about prioritizing what is most important. soci

and mike lawler's voting record are pretty clear. he voted to restrict reproductive freedom the first month he arrived here in the congress. that's not mainstream, that's extreme. he voted to put polluters over people within his first 100 days here in the united states house of representatives as opposed to building upon the work that we have done as democrats led by president biden to dramatically confront the climate crisis and set our planet on a sustainable path. putting polluters over people, it's not mainstream, it's stream. and top it all off, it appears to me that the representative from the 17th congressional district of new york voted for a 22% across the board cut as part of the default on america act expressing despite expressing concerns in a race to the floor of the house of representatives to devastate medicaid, devastate food insecurity programs, devastate scrags, devastate health care, devastate support for law enforcement. that's not mainstream, as far as i can tell. that's extreme. that is the track record. and tha

that's what helps build pressure on congressman lawler there and others in congress who might think andk at a poll like this and say that obviously a 45, 44 split is a free vote. what we know is what will happen to the markets both here in the united states and globally, what this means for our overall economy in a world in which we see inflation improving, why would we want to take a step back now on something so unnecessary. i think you'll hear the president describe those consequences, and then press that advantage to separate these two arguments. >> you know, we might have heard a little bit of political messaging yesterday, anna, after they all met over at the white house, punch bowl reported on just how testy the white house meeting was between biden and congressional leaders. do you see that, anna, as kind of a harbinger of what's to come, including when they meet again on friday, or is this just more of the normal posturing that naturally happens early in negotiations? >> i think it's a bit of both, probably, right? i think this definitely was the first meeting in several weeks,

he said about lawler, he's not one of those maga republican extreme types. but, on april 30th, the potus twitter account lumped lawler in with a little picture of him with maga republicans that they said he were trying to cut veterans benefits. so, that's different. john. >> john: and lawler was not the only republican that he lumped in there as well. 217 republicans he claim were maga republicans. so, one day it's one thing, and another day it's quite another thing. we have kind of gotten used to that. peter doocy with some fact checking from the white house. thank you. sandra. >> sandra: larry kudlow is here as we continue to dig into what we heard from the president. amazing and lovely to sit with you through those remarks. but you could barely hold yourself back at points, larry. some of the take aways here, and went after maga republicans many times, the extremists on the right, they have taken control of the house, said the president, he made big and bold claims off the very top the gop plan will cut veterans benefits, that it will cut away from federa

that's a seat that the president won in 2020 but that mike lawler won in 2022, a republican.e tough for him to hold onto that seat. it's no wonder he's going to that event with the president today. >> former congressman joe crowley, we'll be listening to what the president says at that event. i really appreciate your insights. thanks for sharing your perspective with us. >> thank you, ana. >>> up next, new urgency at the border with covid restrictions ending tomorrow. former homeland security secretary jeh johnson will be here to talk about the thousands of migrants crossing into the country as president biden says this. >> it's going to be chaotic for a while. and it's an example -- goes tor gardening basics that... aren't so basic. the entertainer... her place might look expensive. don't let it fool you. and me, the lounger... i get just what i need with a tap on the wayfair app. get outdoorsy for way less at wayfair. ♪ wayfair, you've got just what i need ♪ introducing astepro allergy. now available without a prescription. astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid-free

mike lawler, and a republican congressman decided to go with biden to the event, mike lawler exclusiven will be deriding republicans, apparently and the one i'm excited about most, emily, the jesus revolution movie, pastor greg laurie, had dinner with him. so excited to talk to him. we have read his tweets on the show in the wake of the tragic shooting in nashville. he's coming on. it will be a great message of faith and hope to cap off a grim news cycle today. thanks to everyone. don't forget to dvr the show. now here is "america reports." >> speaker mccarthy offered a very different way forward. he's proposed deep cuts that i believe are going to hurt american families. >> came back to the president and i said do you not believe that there's any money being spent in government that's wasteful? >> fbi, dea, border patrol, 100,000 teachers, and supporse . there would be 30 million fewery we cut veterans, it's a lie. >> sandra: any moment now president biden is set to speak on the looming debt ceiling deadline. he has just landed in new york and will be speaking shortly. he is expected

you have seen republicans anthony d'esposito, nicole malliotakis, michael lawler, marc molinaro, all calling for santos to resign, and to the chairman of the new york republican party. now, is this because these are, like, brave truth tellers? no. is it because they are the only ones believing in the charge against him? now. they understand that santos has spouted lies. they know it is not a witch hunt. the allegations were not invented by the mainstream media. they also know their democratic charges will tie them to this fraudster at every turn. they will say, you are one in the same, and in league with, and in bed with this outrageous ludicrous indicted man. this lesson also to donald trump. it's the same logic. while the ex president does have incredible stay in power within, again, the republican party, 35% of the country, the republican party isn't the whole country. it's not the case more broadly. a recent nbc news poll found that nearly 70% of republican voters standing behind trump in the wake of a new york indictment is kind of low, we think about what his numbers in the rub

they can't do it, in part because george santos, and mike lawler, another new york republican aren't here today. kevin mccarthy cannot afford to be short george santos's vote for any protracted period of time or potentially forever if he were to resign and be replaced by someone else, perhaps a democrat in a special election. so santos' vote is very important to this republican congress even if he is an enormous headache to every other elected republican right now. >> so if he were to resign or if he was forced out, garrett, can you lay out the process to fill his seat, and whether republicans feel they have a decent chance of keeping that seat? >> so if santos were to be forced to resign anytime between knew and i think it's july of next year, the governor would have ten days to set a date for a special election, and then you would have a special election, an open special election to fill that seat. now santos' victory in the first place was surprising because he won in a new district because of the redistricting that happened in the 2020 cycle, one in which joe biden carried by i t

we are having a press conference today with the county exec and congressman lawler again to reiterateur start. this is hypocritical. you know, the mayor doesn't like it hang to him and is he a sanctuary city. so this theory he asked for it. welcome to orange town. we are not a sanctuary city or town. >> brian: right. they made their decision. it wasn't his but i'm sure he backs it. and you made your decision and i'm sure nassau and suffolk county got to be ready for this. because i'm sure they are going to be doing the same thing. the numbers are only going to get worse. you know what is happening on thursday. goodbye title 42. and almost everybody chooses new york when asked and texas says goodbye. here is your ticket. and now new york city is saying hello suburbs. and you guys are saying no. what a disaster. what -- this is unbelievable. >> orangeburg is about three square miles and has like 4600 residents. you are telling me that new york city can't handle these people will little orangeburg can within our town? it doesn't make any sense. there is no services up here. no mass trans

can't take a tiny bit of criticism on something that you are saying a chaotic and admitting to mike lawler where the migrants are going you understand you need to do something. if you can't take a little heat you will kick the mayor of new york off your campaign committee? >> watch the progression on the administration's policy on immigration now. we are moving into another chapter. see what they do. >> dana: trump last night. >> if elected president again what is the first thing you would do to help bring down costs to make things more affordable? >> drill, baby drill. we have more liquid gold under our feet. these stupid fools ended it. >> dana: he was in his element taking no prisoners in is cnn town hall. he turned it into a free for all but people liked it for the most part. karl rove joins us now. the people who support donald trump really liked it and hadn't seen him in a while and he came out firing. >> yes, he did. and you are right. to the true believers, this was a great evening. they saw their hero. he got to talk about issues that he cared about. what dominated the evening, ba

republicans michael lawler sharing this video parroting the film's iconic opening crawl text, and dubbingd after posing know my posting this ai-generated image of himself as a jedi. i wouldn't have dressed up in congress that way. is this something you would have done? >> jesse: it is a nerdy look. you can be a "star wars" fan to a certain age, and then you have to drop it. he actually looks like he is in the movie. don't give him too much of a hard time. i think that is clever, but he is still a weird guy, so it gives you weird vibe. the republican come i don't even think he did it, i think his social media guy did it beer i've no idea but i'm just wing o blame the social media guy. >> harold: judge, do you have a reaction to this? >> jeanine: yeah, none. >> kennedy: that was me yesterday with my yogurt years and han solo. i'm glad you got out when you did, harold ford jr. schiff should be ashamed of himself. it is not a social media guy come he is running for senate come he wants to be a united states senator. the upper chamber. he has to keep it on everything that goes through. and mad

have the majority leader of the new york state senate, and i believe we also have congressman mike lawler in the house. county executive george latimer is here. mayor of white plains, tom roach is here. tom patterson howard is here. ryan sullivan, teacher at highlands middle school is here. and i wanted thank dr. melinda miles for hosting us here today. we also know that the majority leader of the united states senate, chuck schumer is working right now, working at with the future speaker of the house of representatives and that would be our very own from brooklyn as well, hakeem jeffries. they are working together. working with our president. working is the operative word. when you work together you work together to do the job. and having encountered a lot of opposition from, guess who? yeah. republicans do not want us to work together. they do not want us to do what we are required to do and that's called, paying your bills. i'm sure a lot of you would like to run up some debt, you have to pay for your house, the electric bill, and all of these other things, that you could walk way from

. >> the president is headed to hudson valley, new york, where republican mike lawler flipped a democratic that the president won in 2020. that house republican will be joining president biden at that event. i asked the white house press secretary what the president's message would be in this is what she had to say. >> the president is going to be very clear about what is at stake. the impact of the current discussions we are having. the impact of this budget and default. this is going to hurt american families. >> the president will be talking about the cuts to veteran benefits. geoff: what has to happen to break the stalemate? >> i think right now we are watching wall street. it doesn't seem like there is movement by politicians. something needs to happen to move politicians. geoff: great to see you both. amna: new guidelines out today say women should begin getting regular mammograms every two years starting at the age of 40 if they are at average risk of breast cancer. that is a significant change from previous guidance by the u.s. preventive services task force that said women could s

. >> anthony d'esposito, nick langworthy, michael lawler, marc mullen and -- those are seven republicans from the state of new york that have called for him to resign. they will now actually wrote vote on this tomorrow, one way or the other. the argument, i don't think it's been made in particularly good faith but is basically like, look, members of congress do get indicted, it's not that rare. in the case of state senator robert menendez, he was indicted, went to trial, and he was acquitted of those crimes. people are allowed to process and you should just wait for the courts to play out. what do you say about that? >> first, it's really important here that george santos actually admitted to lying and defrauding the people. we submitted the resolution before the indicted accounts came out last week. we've been on the resolution from months. i'm a freshman member of congress, president of a freshman class. i came here because i believed in the constitution and doing good. george santos is the opposite of that. we'll take him on, remove him, he's got no business to being in congress. >> y

joining us now is congressman mike lawler, republican from new york. sits on the foreign affairs and financial services committee. he's gone on the record he plans to vote yes for this bill. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm fine. why you are -- why are you a question? >> i had three parameters, they must negotiate in good faith and we have to cut spending and we cannot default. it's not an option going forward. the object sieve to get a bipartisan compromise which the speaker has secured. and it mooeets my object toifz bend the curve here. you think about this, poppy. when i was a freshman in college in 2006, our national debt was about $9 trillion. today it is almost $32 trillion. this is unsustainable for the long run. what we're doing sbis bending t curve and starting to put the american economy back on the right trajectory. the speaker negotiated a very good deal, given the fact that we only control one half of one-third of the government. the fact he was able to get a cut in the discretionary spending is below fiscal

santos, something he said he would not do, and those republicans, i'm thinking of congressman mike lawler new york, calling for george santos to resign for many months now, he back that is move. he'll vote for that initial vote to refer this to the ethics committee. something democrats, including the ones leading the charge is simply not enough. here's robert garcia on "morning joe.". >> what he has done is very very serious, we are here to support truth, accountability, justice, and kevin mccarthy unfortunately has empowered the extreme fringe in his party, like george santos to take critical votes, classified briefings and he has no business in congress. i'm an immigrant to the country. when i took an oath of this country, it was an important moment. i believe in the constitution. george santos is the opposite of what we're trying to do, enough to do the right thing. >> so mccarthy obviously has tiptoed around santos. he said he will not force him to resign from congress. he's going to wait for these outside investigations, including his indictment in new york to play out, but look, at

mike lawler, house republican sits on financial services committee. good to have you. hearing whispering, there is a middle ground pushing this back a little bit, a extension would take us into september is mentioned. what do you think about as they sort of iron out all these differences? >> the bottom line president biden and senate majority leader schumer need to negotiate with the speaker that has been my parameters from the start. the senate majority leader and president must negotiate. a short term extension would obviously by some time. the issue remains president biden refused to negotiate. they will meet tomorrow. immediately thereafter president biden is coming to my district on wednesday morning to rail against maga republicans rather than really doing the work that needs to be done here. you know it wasn't too long ago, neil, that vice president biden negotiated with then speaker boehner to come up with some spending reforms to lift the debt ceiling that what needs to happen here. look at our economy, 41 year record high on inflation, banks collapsing. peopl

mike lawler is here as well.on the other team but you know what, mike is the kind of guy, when i was in congress, the kind of republican i was used to dealing with, not one of the maga republicans which i'm going to talk a little about. i don't want to get him in trouble by saying anything nice about him or negative about him, but thanks for coming, mike. thanks for being here. this is the way we used to do it all the time. [applause] and i want to acknowledge all the state and local officials as well as president belinda miles, thanks for hosting us. madam president, my wife teaches full-time at a community college in northern virginia, and she has been teaching for a long time. she says two things. one, community college is the best kept secret in america. they are. and two, equally as important, any education -- any state that educates us, any country that educates us is going to outcompete us, it's a simple proposition. a big debate about protecting america's hard-earned reputation as the most trusted reliabl

it's an unusual move considering the president is expected to ham lawler and others on the debt ceilingpect lawmakers to work together. joining us now white house principal deputy press secretary olivia dalton. olivia, thanks for joining us this morning. let's start with this president, the president's visit to westchester county today. we know it is the swing district here that new york state is one of the areas where the president did well in 2020 in some of these districts, but republicans were in the swing a few of them back in last year's mid-terms. talk to us about the strategy of taking the president's message about the debt ceiling right there to these battleground districts. >> absolutely. you heard the president yesterday as he has for months talk about all of the historic economic progress that we've made over the last 2 1/2 years under his leadership, 12.7 million jobs, record low unemployment, historic reshoring of manufacturing jobs by the hundreds of thousands after years of manufacturing jobs going overseas. we're finally starting to see all of that progress come back, a

. >> what did you tell congressman lawler? >> i thanked him for the courtesy of showing up. i told him it wasn't designed to be anything other than lay out my position. he had a very brief discussion about the need for us to be level with the republican leadership. he said that he thought that the speaker was willing to negotiate. that's what i do when i go to someone else's business. it's a matter of courtesy. >> should congressman santos be expelled from office? >> look, if i comment on santos, we're all going to say i'm getting to the justice department to do things. i'm not commenting on that. >> i meant by congress. should he be expressed by -- >> justice thomas, should he be impeached? >> i think we're a long way from that. there's not been hearings yet. >> [question inaudible] >> no. >> [question inaudible] why has this not happened yet? >> it's in progress. it will work out. >> when? >> mr. president -- >> 2:30 on -- >> mr. president, you said you're likely to delay your trip to the g-7. >> i didn't say that. >> you said your considering it. >> i didn't say that eith

congressman mike lawler from rockland county 30 miles north of new york.ssman, mayor eric adams to new york city, say this is a federal issue. it's a federal problem. a long term solution will have to come from the federal government. but as we know, this has been a very difficult problem for lawmakers to solve. not something the biden administration can do on their own. and the closest we've come, back in 2013 when the senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill. but then it died in the house. and i do not think there is any higher chance now that there is more eager people to participate. >> look, you have a republican, house a senate that is basically divided 50/50. >> do you have numbers on how the public feels about that? >> we have numbers on everything. >> that was basically rhetorical. >> look, when it comes to this particular ending of this title, we know that the public is opposed to it right? we know that. that is what the polling showed us the middle of last year. have no reason to believe that has changed. more than that, i can't think
