the same group that talks a good game voted with marjorie taylor greene green and the extreme republicans to put polluters over people. the same group that likes to talk a good game voted with marjorie taylor greene in the extreme maga republicans to cut government funding by north of 20% as part of their effort to threaten america with a catastrophic default on our nation's debt on the first time in our nation's history and it will crash the economy. every single opportunity the so-called moderate republicans have had to partner with democrats in a bipartisan way into the right thing for americans, they join marjorie taylor greene and the extremists , and yet we stand ready to partner with them this time around. but the onus is on them. do not talk about it. be about it. that is what we say in brooklyn. >> have you had any democrats support the stopgap funding bill the speaker is put on the floor? >> no. >> what is the issue with it? the border initiative? >> it a bipartisan agreement that meets the needs of the american people that would keep the government open that is working its way

marjorie taylor greene and others like her are the ones driving the train. so what i want us to focus on, too, is not just people like marjorie taylor greene, but all of the so-called, and i used so-called, so-called moderates who stand by and let this all happen. because those are the people we need to hear from. they know it is a farce, they have said so in the last few days about this impeachment hostage taking that marjorie taylor greene is doing. they know it is a sham, it will go along with it in the end. that is the dangerous thing for all of us. because trump is not singular. another one will come in his place. if they don't deal with it now, they are going to deal with it from another leader who comes after him. >> yeah, and courage, on this impeachment, talk the potential of an impeachment inquiry and then full on impeachment, president biden's white house has assembled a war room of two dozen lawyers as an aggressive response to all this. is this inappropriate response? what does it say about the current state of american politics that this is even

donald trump is the puppet master and marjorie taylor greene is calling the shots. they have purged their ranks of anyone who could call themselves a moderate. if there were moderates left, where are they? why haven't they demanded a vote and called this a distraction a gross political stunt? why? because maga extremists are running the house. six weeks ago kevin mccarthy sent the house home to keep the federal government. we have a few days to keep the government open. instead of getting to work and instead of thinking about the brairve firefighters who need to get paid and our heroic troops who deserve a paycheck for their service, the communities that need disaster aid and seniors who depend on government service, he has launched a sham impeachment inquiry based on lies. there is no evidence, none. and when republicans are asked about it, they dance around the question. so what's the origin story of today's announcement january 3 when the they dangled the speakership in front of kevin mccarthy and he pushed us to the edge of economic disaster with the manufacture

marjorie taylor greene is calling the shots. they ignored their constituents and they have purged their ranks of anyone who could call themselves a moderate. if there were moderates left, where are they? why haven't they demanded a vote? why haven't they come out and called this a distraction a gross political stunt? why? because maga extremists are running the house. six weeks ago, kevin mccarthy sent the house home without a plan to keep the federal government open for business. now we have just days to fund the government for the american people. but instead of getting to work, instead of thinking about the brave firefighters who need to get paid as they battle wildfires across this country, our heroic troops who deserve a paycheck for their service, the communities that need disaster aid, the seniors that depend on government service, he has launched a sham impeachment inquiry rooted in baseless, discredited lies. there is no evidence, none, and when republicans are asked about it, they dance around the question. so what's t

it was mainly marjorie taylor greene. in my opinion, she looks like she has the bone structure, in my opinion, of a russian so maybe that what she has such a high stance. maybe her background somewhere takes her back to russia. i have no idea. but i wish they would get together and the republicans would stop holding the government hostage. i am a retired government employee. this is crazy. host: all right. we end with a list from marianne on twitter of her top news stories of the. she says her top stories are senator tuberville on military promotions, volodymyr zelenskyy, the uaw strike, been and is indicted, senator mccarthy's weakness in the congress. we will talk to maddie salamone, anttorney and vice president of the college football organization. we will talk about the name, image, and lightness roles and why congress may get involved. then we will talk to amy dacey from american university focusing on community engagement and public service with young americans. ♪ announcer: monday, watch c-span's new series in part

modern state of the republican party, the reality that, here in washington, at least as marjorie taylor greene's she is in the driver seat, and with respect to how you have articulated the speakers capitulation on impeachment -- i mean, the reality is, with marjorie taylor greene in the driver's seat, one should have expected, from the very beginning, chaos and dysfunction. and that's precisely what we have seen for the better part of the last nine months. you saw that. of course, going back to january, with the historic, and precedent did vote. 15 rounds of balloting, in which speaker mccarthy capitulated to every demand made by the far-right wing of his caucus. you saw with respect to the manufacturer of the debt ceiling crisis earlier this summer which, thankfully, because of president biden's leadership, we have waited. and now, of course, we see it with his decision in just the last 48 hours to announce this baseless impeachment inquiry, which, in my view, has no evidentiary basis in may have yet to articulate any coach in connection in terms of the constitutional standards for impeachment

members of the house conference like marjorie taylor greene said they would not support a government funding bill absent some movement on impeachment. sure enough, house speaker kevin mccarthy came back from the august recess and he announced the impeachment inquiry. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene came into the speaker's office and said i'm ready to support a funding bill. as the deadline to fund the government gets closer, mccarthy but this might be an opportunity to create more support for a funding bill at least in the short term but certainly, it will be more complicated than initially expected. host: ohio, independent, good morning. caller: good morning. i am a retired federal employee. i was always brought in as essential because i worked in the national security area. i've been through at least a dozen of these periods. i've never seen in all that time i was working in all the other federal employees had vacations, congress always voted to reimburse them for staying at home. we were working twice as hard because a lot of the people didn't have to come in. those of us tha

mccarthy said -- marjorie taylor greene said it will take as long as it takes. but aimed at protecting his most vulnerable members. >> that puts a lot seats up at risk for particulars who won biden districts. >> reporter: house republicans believe the public is on their side. according to a cnn poll, 61% of americans believe biden was involved in his son's business dealings as vice president. while 42% think he acted illegally. but some gop senators are uncertain about mccarthy's approach. >> the way to make an inquiry legitimate is to have a vote as to whether or not you should have one at all rather than just the leadership deciding. >> reporter: and democrats not sweating the threat of impeachment. >> it is devastating. oh, don't do it. please don't do it. >> reporter: and jake, house republicans have already taken their first official step as part of this official impeachment inquiry. that trio of house committee sent a letter this afternoon to merrick garland requesting all information and documents about whether hunter biden's attorneys encouraged to retal

>> we are aware how republicans on the house side will be parsing that, and marjorie taylor greene hasen somebody pushing for this kind of inquiry, and on the senate side of the building, it could be met with a brick wall for senate republicans, and that's not what we are finding. several senators telling our team that they are open to the idea of an inquiry. lindsay graham saying the obvious here, and i don't know if they have the votes, but he said i would applaud the process where they have to vote. john kennedy of louisiana, a republican saying if they decide to do an inquiry like this, that will get them, in his words, a little more cooperation in terms of getting the facts and i will be supportive. there are members of the senate not saying this is full-throatedly wanting the house to do, but at the end of the day it comes back to the obvious, you can't get the facts without doing the vote and i don't know if they have the votes to do that, so this could be a lip service moment. and we are watching differences play out from the house and senate, and so far from rank and file memb

i mean, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, otherwise known as. nu included halibut, diet coke, and reportedly, top of impeaching a political rival. on the record, marjorie taylor greene even told the new york times that she relayed to trump that she wanted the impeachment curry to be, quote, long and excruciating painful for joe biden. and i'm not even sure that's saying the quiet part out loud, because this is all been so incredibly loud. we know what's going on here. the truth is that this is an inquiry, in search of a pretext, in search of a purpose. and, it's not as if the orchestrator's are even hiding that. >> this is about transparency, and answers for the american people. and ultimately, accountability for what i wound will uncover the biggest political corruption scandal in our nation's history. >> will uncover, that is the key phase here. there is not a single solitary shred of evidence at this point, to support anything resembling a high crime or misdemeanor on the part of joe biden. and, it's not like we haven't been looking. they have

i don't think it's just a small, marjorie taylor greene and crazy small caucus. look, we've got to wrap our arms around the fact that the vast majority of republican primary voters still don't believe biden won. the vast majority of republican voters want joe biden impeached. the republican party base, amen, is radicalized, in this house conference and it's reflecting. that >> yeah, that's a very important point. and i'm glad that you bring it up to give us the context of where the republican party is in this moment of time >> so i guess picking up on that, malcolm, what do you make of folks like marjorie taylor greene saying that she will only vote to prevent a government shutdown, if the house opens an impeachment inquiry meeting. basically, she is taking the u.s. government hostage, to get her way. >> you know aymen, present company not included, i think this could be a -- moment for the american media. are we going to treat this jack off jamboree like it has this -- or are we going to treat it like the side show that it is. i mean, think about what's happenin

marjorie taylor greene has said as much.utdown which would hurt so many people across this country to impeaching president biden. so this has been a political stunt from day one. they telegraphed that already to the public. they're out there linking not just marjorie taylor greene, folks like matt gaetz, linking kevin mccarthy acting on impeachment to the government shutdown. and so it's -- it's both laughable and sad that this is where the modern day republican party in the house is at this point. and it's because kevin mccarthy, unfortunately, has no control over his caucus. so that is what we're now seeing, essentially the marjorie taylor greene republican caucus in congress. but democrats are prepared. we'll continue to put out the truth, push back whenny when weo and shut down the government shutdown. >> we'll be talking about that in the days to come. hopeful we can have you come back and talk about that. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. all right. >>> still ahead, a new legal filing claims the border

marjorie taylor greene, his actual boss, gone kind of soft on her calls to impeach biden immediately. now asking for a tedious impeachment inquiry, also known as a fishing expedition. mccarthy is also ignoring conservative freedom caucus member ken buck who called marge's demands absurd. pointing out that no actual evidence exists to impeach joe biden. and mccarthy has completely disregarded the numerous vulnerable republicans who have warned him not to pursue impeachment. in less than one day, back at work, mccarthy said so what to all of that. why bring an inquiry to a vote that he can't win anyway? democrats most certainly aren't going to help him, and a bunch of vulnerable republicans are like nah, so it's yolo time. why? its order to get his hands on the precious gavel, he sold his soul over the course of 14 votes in january. impeachment is the price of kevin mccarthy being speaker, full stop. even the inquiry isn't enough for the chaos caucus. minutes after he spoke, maga matt gaetz went to the house floor and called the impeachment inquiry a baby step and added this. >> mr. spe

and many have argued over listens to folks like marjorie taylor greene.er mccarthy's leadership right now? >> well, i'm a little concerned about that, honestly. and i hope that he doesn't give in to those far-right demands. he should know that there are a lot of democrats who would be willing to support funding the government on an appropriate basis. hakeem jeffries has done a fabulous job of reaching out to the speaker, and working with him wherever needed. including in funding the government. i think that he should, instead of talking to the far-right and the extreme, he should tack back to the center where the vast majority of the american people are, which is fund the government and do your job. >> new exclusive reporting from nbc news dives into how the white house is ramping up a war room to battle unexpected impeachment inquiry. says, biden's aides and allies say they are preparing to vigorously pushback against an impeachment inquiry, and present it as an evidence free partisan sham that shows the gop penchant for chaos. how should democrats push

leaders in the house include marjorie taylor greene, they are driving the train of doing the bidding of donald trump in this unfortunate we find ourselves in this situation. house democrats will continue to partner with president biden to make life better for everyday americans. the growth of middle-class and builds up in economy. it is our hope that a handful of responsible republicans on the others instead of engaging in this malignant investigation would partner with house democrats to get this done for everyday americans. host: a lot of activity after the announcement was made on the hill. if you go on our website you can find the response to it and also on our c-span app. a report from yesterday that said tromp was speaking with a congresswoman. i speak to trump a lot and she believes that bidens families dealings are the biggest political scandal of a lifetime. gary in texas, go ahead, you are on. caller: i oppose this impeachment mainly because of the vice president we have. we should just keep whited on. host: let's hear from linda on the oppose line. caller: i oppose and the

especially considering the threats we've been hearing from marjorie taylor greene saying, we're not gonna launch an impeachment inquiry. >> well, marjorie taylor greene's threat is really quite empty. they'll never come to a compromise in the house and the senate. if mccarthy doesn't get democrats on board, there is no deal that the freedom caucus will accept. so, they're gonna vote against funding the government, that's, they don't care if they're in the majority. that's there just happy with their gig. that's what they're gonna stay with. but politically, we keep talking about those 17 congressional seats that are in swing districts. districts that biden won. they are not even sure they have all of the votes to get the impeachment inquiry going forward. a lot of those folks don't want to see this. i think the other thing that's going to make people wonder, is with this great reporting by ali on the war room efforts by biden, i think biden's just gonna outmaneuver them. let's face it, these hearings that the republicans have had thus far have been a joke. we have one witness who is on th

the very vocal, far right fringe of the republican party, marjorie taylor greene and the band of brothers in their request. kevin mccarthy is in a pickle, really. he is faced with the decision, does he fight with the far right wing of the party and not get anything done and in essence, have a government shutdown or do they work across the aisle with the democrats and get something actually passed, but that does him in because we have republicans with their hand on the motion to vacate. in essence they could kick him out of his position. he has some very serious consensus building over the next few days and weeks ahead. >> if you are over at the white house, do you let this play out, let this fight layout? and just sort of pop the popcorn and enjoy the show? >> i wouldn't say the enjoy, i wouldn't say enjoy the show. playing this kind of game with the american economy and american families is not what the president wants or any democrats, either. i think what they will be doing is making sure republicans stick to the promise they made when they did the debt deal earlier this year. this is

marjorie taylor greene, there are no policy writers, she notes that. it's all the policies from last year's democratic appropriations with an 8% cut plus the border bill but not e-verify. she says i'm no because there's no money for ukraine. >> time to stay in dc, no breaks until we pass all appropriations bills. i will not be supporting cr and this week is no different. cr is nancy pelosi's budget and joe biden's policy. we were sure in january that we weren't going to use the democrats' gimmicks to fund the government. what do you make of just those four and there's a couple out there, does speaker mccarthy have the votes right now? >> seems like the answer is know which makes difficult week for speaker mccarthy and democrats are likely to oppose the measure given border measures and nondefense programs which democrats tend to support as well as the defense programs that republicans tend to also like to keep flat. the issue here is that mccarthy only has a four-seat majority. it was 5 seats but republican congressman chris steward of utah resigned on

i was calling about marjorie taylor greene. why wasn't she taken off the ballot when they press charges against her? i am a democrat, so i'm just curious. how did she get reelected? guest: the answer first is remember this was not being taken off the ballot. this was being removed from office. the question becomes was a 14th amendment suit filed? how was it adjudicated? i don't know the specific case in colorado. no one made the 14th amendment point. if my new grandson, who is almost two months old, runs for office and no one objects, he gets in even though he is not qualified for office. someone must begin the process of disqualification. chances are that did not happen in colorado. host: california, that is where vicki is, republican line. caller: i just wondered what would happen if millions and millions of people boycott the election? that is what can happen if you take trump off of the ballot. he has got millions of supporters. that doesn't sound constitutional to me, and i don't think he committed any crimes. i don't know

announced the impeachment inquiry, trump had a quiet dinner with the conspiracy theorist, marjorie taylor greene. trump has been pushing the impeachment of joe biden on truth social, and his fundraising emails and texts, and doing his rallies. and for her, part marjorie taylor greene said she told trump that she wanted the impeachment inquiry to be, quote, long excruciatingly painful for joe biden, and quote. but all of this came to a head on thursday. mccarthy held a closed door meeting, when the report began with him telling his conference, if you think you scary because you want to file a motion to vacate, move the effing motion, and quote. he said the whole, word apparently. the gop is, right, now in crisis. radical minority, just about 20, then maybe, more who knows. more under the influence of the quadrupling indicted, twice impeached ex president, appeared to be holding sway over the house of representatives and therefore, over what kind of work gets done by congress. and for that, reason we have a doomed impeachment inquiry instead of a budget this week. joining me now is tom, nichols a

kevin mccarthy, obviously, was trying to placate marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert, matt gaetzthers doing donald trump's bidding, wanting to impeach biden. so, sure, go ahead and do it was never voted on by the house of representatives, which is something that kevin mccarthy said he would do, and it's also something that he demanded that democrats do, which we did do with the impeachment of donald trump, and they ended up getting an opinion from the office of legal counsel at the department of justice saying that there needs to be a vote on the floor in order to keep the additional powers to a committee to engage in a peach meant. that delegation need to be done, but they did not do that here, why? because they are at least 15 or 20 puts down on the republican side. there are people like ken buck, a freedom caucus member, on the judiciary committee, former chief of the criminal division of the u.s. attorney office in colorado that just says, the whole thing makes no sense, they just don't have any evidence on donald trump. kevin mccarthy, obviously, was trying to placate marjor
