but maga mike, and it's not my pejorative for him, that's what they call him.ke johnson, the speaker of the house, the architect of the idea that donald trump could overturn the election. so, if the republicans were to win the house in the upcoming election, and there was another challenge by donald trump, he would have a speaker who believes that the will of the voters was not, it doesn't matter. and that violence can be more powerful than vote. >> you know, what we have seen up until now speaker mike johnston, maga mike as he is called by his colleagues. there were republicans who were trying to whitewash what happened on january 6th. a. regular tourist visit. or, something about political discourse, rational political discourse. what do you make of republicans who are still trying to whitewash the violence of that day? >> the reason my republican colleagues are whitewashing what happened on january 6th is because it has to be a fiction in the reality of the voters if donald trump is going to be their nominee. and spoiler alert, trump is well on his way to be

he's right about maga mike johnson, and the fact is -- i swear to god. that matt gaetz might be the most powerful person in congress right now. look what he did. he did it. and that's the thing that people need to recognize. matt gaetz changed the speaker of the house to somebody much further to the right of mccarthy. an amazing feat. >> part of the job is fundraising. i'm not sure he's good at thatment lots of performative stuff. i think this is the first time fart was used on msnbc, congratulations. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, harry dunn joins me to discuss the chaos on capitol hill, and his new book which recounts his work as a capitol police officer and details that traumatic day on january 6th, 2021. stay right there.

maga mike is by far the most conservative speaker that we've had in decades here in this country.ional abortion ban. he believes and lgbtq+ folks, they shouldn't have rights and privileges or be married. he has a very extreme world view of how religion plays a role in our country. so i think that that he has taken extreme positions, especially extreme social positions in this country, and we will work really hard every single day to win the majority back. it is also really interesting that all of these moderate democrats, quote unquote moderates, who claimed to be independent or work across the aisle all support him. they supported someone who believes that there should be no exceptions around abortion. they supported someone that has wildly controversial views about lgbtq plus people. our history shouldn't even be taught in schools, and this is the author of a national don't say gay bill, modeled after what happened in florida. we are going to push back and fight him every single day and it is a shame that so many moderate republican support him as speaker. >> the point also, cor

maga mike johnson. that's what matt gaetz is calling him as well. he still seems to be aligning himself with the democrats that helped him to oust kevin mccarthy. how would you describe him and his approach to politics? >> i think mike is a reasonable and strong conservative, martha. he believes in limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulation. personal responsibility. fiscal restraint. all the things that make -- i would put him in a mold of ronald reagan. that's saying a lot. he's shorter than the president. he's got a great relationship with soon-to-be president trump again. that's not an ininsult. the left has to find more because that went work with the american people. >> martha: we talked about this defense bill that will be on the table. $106 billion request from the president to cover the cost of support for israel. i think it's about 10 of that. ukraine about 60 of that request. will mike johnson be able to coordinate support for that? is there support for that in the house? >> well, what we would like to see -- israel is a separate

to hear his colleagues call him maga mike?st lgbtq rights? it is beyond troubling, and i think, you know, what we're going to see is how is he going to be able to govern with a 4 to 5 seat majority, when these issues, he is really on the wrong side for most americans? and so what i can say unequivocally is that democrats will continue to fight for seniors, and make sure that they have what they deserve. women's reproductive rights, lgbtq plus brothers and sisters, and for democracy. that's what we're going to fight for. >> congresswoman, speaking of legislating, there's a november 17th deadline that is looming. a government shutdown that is looming. i'm just wondering, can speaker johnson, who has gone on the record saying that he is interested in a continuing resolution that will go through a january or through april, can he get that done and still survive without triggering another motion to vacate? >> again, it's kind of interesting. as i said, sometimes sitting in that little spot i get to hear one of his colleagues came o

but the idea that mike pence isn't maga enough for this, it tells you everything you need to know aboutf the republican party. however you feel about mike pence and his positions, he was pretty in line with the right wing of the party, mostly mainstream right wingers. but not since the era of trump. he's not right-wing enough. so, you know, i say good words to mike pence. the world's tiniest -- he wasn't actually in the rate anyway. and he never would have stood, he had no chance becoming president of the united states because this country does not want someone that has that level of extremism in general. on social issues the way mike pence did. >> now, danny, it is lawyer talk. i gotta take my glasses off. you know how this goes. mike pence is out of the race. it was never really facing any sort of criminal exposure, but he could have had political backlash for testifying against donald trump. he's one of the people central to the election interference investigations and prosecutions. now that he is out of the race and he is essentially got nothing to lose, what do you think the likeli

guy named maga mike johnson. it wasn't the trumpian start you'd expect. but now he has to deliver. sting to see whether he is allowed to delivery. >> bret: molly, how mike johnson is described by the new york times is this staunch conservative. hakeem jeffries calls him an election denier, saying twice impeached former president ordered house republicans to stop tom emmer. anyone surprised they complied. of course critics of hakeem are pointing back to 2018 where he called the 2016 election illegitimate saying the more we learn about the 2016 election, the more illegitimate it becomes. american deserves to know whether we have a fake president. all of that is happening in the background. the message from mike johnson was about common ground. >> mike johnson gives a message about common ground and hakeem jeffries talks in a very partisan manner that is not totally surprising. hakeem jeffries were people who spent years denying the legitimacy of the 2016 election falsely claiming it had been stolen by donald trump as part of treasonist collusion with russia. but it is interesting mike

i do think to john's point, matt gaetz who ousted mccarthy, he is calling mike maga mike. if you look at his policy portfolio, his leading the push, he's very much in line with where the party is. where donald trump is. it is fitting that he is an evangelical. it is fitting that he is a southern, too, because that's what the republican party is. and democrats will certainly make him a known quantity in american households. >> i think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact, while the mood on the house floor clearly is jovial among republicans and even, you saw as john voted, the interplay between the democrats and patrick mchenry, he's well-liked. we are at the conclusion of a really remarkable period in american history that in many ways is just one part of a convulsion of our politics. this is all the issues that you are seeing playing out in the house floor, john listed them in the way they'll play out in this next upcoming election campaign. we are talking about incredible fundamental differences about how the two parties view not just whether we should legalize abortion o

and if you don't think the move from kevin mccarthy to maga mike johnson shows the ascendance of thisent and where the power in the republican party truly lies, then you're not paying attention. >> now, matt gaetz is talking his book, like he is always. i'll probably do 19 more podcasts before i talk to you tomorrow night. he and his collection are proud of what they've achieved. the majority of the caucus, including the new speaker, try to overturn the last election, and they're proud of that. in fact, the message they are sending and choosing mike johnson, and this is important for everyone to understand, because that's where we are -- not only are they proud of that, but they're on vowed, and they're ready, and they are willing to try again. congressman jamie raskin's -- january 6th 20, he's the ranking member of the oversight committee, and he joins me now. congressman, new speaker mike johnson, your thoughts. >> well, you cannot get to the right of mike johnson in the maga caucus. it's just inconceivable that you could get to the right of him. and there are people who are definit

maga mike and not shut down the government, passed ukraine eight, that will be something we can takecan he avoid the government shutting down? there is another deadline in a matter of weeks. could he face the same fate as speaker mccarthy for reaching across the aisle? >> yes and yes. i'm so fixated on the calendar. while it is weeks between now and november 17, the house is only support to be in session -- supposed to be in session for four legislative days. that is no time to get anything done. already politico is reporting tonight that there are republicans in his conference were upset by what the speaker said last night on sean hannity, that he is open to a continuing resolution that could go through january or through april. he says, with conditions, but already there's rumblings within the conference that they don't want to go through that. the person who has a problem with this, if i can find his name -- andy biggs. congressman andy biggs, republican from arizona, said there are at least five republicans who would go against the brand-new speaker if he were to come up with a d

of course, former president trump posted "maga mike," offering his full support. wouldn't even call them, donny -- would you describe them as conseratives? >> mike johnson is a win for the democrats because it continues to brand the party as super maga. let's get into this guy a little bit. not only is he an election denier, one of the lead election deniers, not only is he for a full ban on abortion, his stance on lgbtq and homosexuality, going back to 2005, not 1957, he wrote in an op-ed, the homosexual lifestyle is dangerous, will lead to the legalization of pedophilia and destruction of democracy. in the year 2005, this is the speaker of the house. this is the extremist views that the republicans are getting behind, and it is going to backfire come 2024. >> he also said same-sex marriage would lead to people marrying their pets. >> speaker of the house. >> go on and on down the list. it is, is it not, the victory of maga, of donald trump squashed emmer. he wasn't quite loyal enough to donald trump, and some people got to trump and said, here's the stuff emmer sa

if you don't think moving from kevin mccarthy to maga mike johnson shows the ascendance of this movementican party truly lies, you are not paying attention. >> i wonder as you spoke with romney, is to root his journals, does romney lay that radicalization of the chia pet the fate of trump alone or does he see it is more complicated than that? >> i think it's more complicated and i think he sees that. this is one of the most difficult questions he grappled with. basically the question he tried to answer with me. and i would press him on this. you know, it was this rocks and the republican party always there? or was it something that was, you know, new caused by donald trump? but i think he went back and forth on this. he would often point to when he ran for president in 2012, he had to spend a little time courting the tea party. and at first he thought of the tea party as this kind of movement that carried a lot about low taxes and physical discipline and deficit reduction. those were the issues romney tried to use to appeal to those voters. he saw, and this was kind of russia to win abou

. >> maga is aseddant and if you don't think that moving from kevin mccarthy to maga being mike johnson shows where the republican party truly lies then you're not paying attention. >> i -- i think matt gaetz has a point there. i think that this mike johnson is incredibly conservative. he was an election denier. he's not for abortion rights, you know. there's a part of the party, a large part of the trump part of the party as were you saying which is a majority of the republican party that -- that he leads, and i think that gaetz is very proud of himself for in a way getting the conference to get to mike johnson and maybe one of the reasons that happened is because he wasn't so well known and they were just tired. >> we'll see if mag sax ascendant in the house of representatives among republicans. >> >> guys, thank you very, very much. >>> coming up, we'll take a closer look at the brand new speaker of the house. plus, our live report on israel's war against hamas. cnn, of course, is on the ground in the middle east, and we'll right back. is it possible my network could take my business

along with everything else going on today, today is also the first full day with maga republican mikehe house. he only became speaker in the first place because a small group of house republicans, who previously expressed reservations about installing an insurrectionist, the to the second line to the president, appeared to get over those reservations in a matter of days. do you remember earlier this month, colorado republican can block was everywhere, talking to everyone, saying he couldn't support steve scalise or jim jordan for speaker, because they would not give him a straight answer on whether or not they believe the 2020 election was stolen. pretty simple question. but ken buck voted for mike johnson, one of the key architects of trump's attempted coup. in fact, every republican in the house supported johnson for speaker. that's been the consistent story, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, on the trump era. depressing, defeated cowardice, of so-called principled conservatives, as republican party sinks further and further into its dark authoritar

>>> as one of his very first official acts as speaker of the house of representatives republican maga mike to use emergency relief for israel to pic a fight with thte hse and president joe biden. the proposed aid package would include $14.3 billion in emergency funding for israel, in exchange it would take out exact same amount of money from the irs's budget that is included in president biden's signature legislative achievement of inflation reduction act. it's a more that has angered democrats who say this is a sign that johnson will take a right wing partisan approach to governing. in response that the white house sued a statement reading in part, ote, politicizing our national security interests is a nonstarter. demanding offsets for meeting core national security needs of the united states, like supporting israel and defending ukraine fro atrocities and russian imperialism would be a break with theormal bipartisan process and could have devastating implications for our safe alliances in the years ahead. emocrats have indicated that the irs provisions are dead arrival in the senate, but

meanwhile, former president trump congratulated the new speaker by posting on social media, quote, maga mikeon? adding that johnson will be, quote, a great speaker. let's bring in the white house senator for politico sam stein and congressional investigators reporter for the washington post jackie alameda, and founder of the conservative website the bulwark charlie sykes. willy, this is going to be interesting this election denier as speaker of the house. >> and charlie sykes it just look at's who celebrated the loudest yesterday it was don't trump, matt gaetz, somehow they got moderates, the new york moderates who have been holding some of the power here. mike lawler, for example, got on board with mike johnson. and the truth is, as somebody pointed to me yesterday, is jim jordan with a jacket and a better haircut, which is to say he's full-throated leave support of the effort to overturn the 2020 election. obviously very conservative of it issues of abortion, lgbtq rights. what's your assessment of where the party landed? here >> no question with the biggest winners are here. matt gaetz ma

they said you were an anti-abortion, maga extremist, mike johnson. that was their first words. >> oh, yeah, welcome to the job. >> sean: welcome to your new job. then they went on to say you were the co-sponsor to institute an extreme abortion ban, we'll get into detail, nationwide. you want to cut social security and medicare. and here's some free advice from mike johnson, and that is, don't get comfortable. we've been here before. this is the same exact maga extremism that the american people have already reject and they will do it again. i thought that was the warmest welcome you could ever want from the democratic party. >> how about that? yeah, welcome to the job. they don't know me a lot of these people don't know me and i think if they would talk to some of my colleagues here even on the other side of the aisle that have worked with me for the seven years i've been on capitol hill they would tell you those things are not true. give me a chance. let me have a chance to lead here and you'll see what i'm really about. >> sean: let me ask you, bec

if speaker johnson lives up to the label that congressman gaetz has given him, maga mike, he will fail as the previous speakers have. but if speaker johnson chooses the bipartisan path, we can do great things for the american people, just as we did last congress with an evenly divided senate and a narrowly divided house. i look forward to working constructive life with speaker johnson and congratulate him on his election. now on the minibus, mr. president, the senate today will continue the bipartisan appropriations process here on the floor. yesterday senators were busy voting through a number of amendments offered by both sides. we held roll call votes on four amendment offered by our republican colleagues and adopted 25 additional amendments, many of them bipartisan by voice vote. we have more amendment votes to hold later today and members should expect to keep voting into next week. it is my hope that we can wrap up work on these appropriations bills as soon as next week. when the senate passes these three bills, they will be the only appropriations bills passed in either chamber

american democracy, secretary grizzle all have to ask you before you go, the new house speaker, mike johnson, magalast night on this program, one of the key architects in a plan to overturn the 2020 election result. what does it mean? not just symbolically. but some to deal with the practicality of protecting our elections, to have an election denier, now at the top of the house of representatives, the second in line to the u.s. presidency is a person who believed the 2020 election was not free and fair. >> i think what it symbolizes is american democracy still remains at great risk. and not only did mike johnson spew about voting equipment, about the election, about nonexistent voter fraud but he also used his law degree to try to get a bunch of republicans in congress to join a litigation to stop the peaceful transfer of the presidency. and then even after january six he refused to certify the election. to vote to certify. so ultimately i don't see how republicans in congress can run from election denialism. they are complicit. they are complicit to the voter suppression laws, the threat to elec

does the presidency speaker mike johnson is a maga senator? >> i think he will have the answer that question for himself. what we can say is we want to move forward and making sure we get the work done on the half of the american people. the president is willing to do that in a good safe fashion as we've been able to do on many bipartisan laws now the president was able to push through congress with democrats and republicans. that's what we want to see. >> vasopressin last month when he speaking in arizona and honoring his late friend john mccain he said their extreme agenda, referring to members of what he described as maga republican extremists, american democracy as we know it, does that concern apply to speaker mike johnson given the leading role he played to overturn the election in 2020? >> the speaker is spoken to publicly about where he sees his views ideologically. i'm not going to get ahead of that. i'm not going to prejudge what the relationship is going to be like right now. >> but in the past you were willing to [inaudible] >> we
