whatever joe kennedy asked joe mccarthy four, joe mccarthy did. i think joe kennedy who was a classic realpolitik, classic machiavellian kind of political figure understood bobby would get 200 the master. it's ironically the same feeling i think fred trump bring in roy cohn years later, they both felt that their sons ought to know how to fight in dirty politics, tough politics, whatever you want to call it, and they had master tutor to teaching the a lot of lessons mccarthy todd kennedy, bobby kennedy ended up using lid behalf of liberal causes. >> and we have from her questions from the crowd tonight, you'll understand you in madison, wisconsin, a town filled with researchers. there are several questions about how you did the research on the book. very interesting. one of them is at the historical side in wisconsin did you find materials that were of interest to you as regards all this and more that any materials in particular that stood out? >> there were wonderful mentors at the historical society i don't want to say too much about that because

body kennedy starts out as a joe mccarthy staffer but a joe mccarthy true believer.he believes in mccarthy and his cause against communism in the cold war era. he started out his life as a cold war democrat but he was cold war and the relatively conservative guy. he's on his way to the iconic figure in modern-day american history. joe mccarthy starts out his life as this liberal with bobby kennedy one day and he's on his way to becoming the iconic postwar conservative but even 70 years later he remains an icon too much of the conservative movement in america and the idea that the intersect was for a single reason thatwe talked about going on . it was joe kennedy said they ought to come together and whatever joe kennedy did, whatever joe kennedy asked for bobby did and whatever joe kennedy asked mccarthy for, he saw a union. i think that joe kennedy who was a classic realpolitik, machiavelli and political figure understood if bobby would get tooted by the master and it's ironically the same feeling i think president trump bringing in roy cohen yearslater , they both f

four, joe mccarthy did. he saw a union for anything joe kennedy, who was a classic realpolitik classic political figure understood that bobby would get tutored by the master. it's ironically the same feeling i think had. trump bring in roy cohen years later. they both felt their sons ought to know how to fight in dirty politics, tough politics whatever you want to call it. they had master tutors teaching them that. i think a lot of lessons joe mccarthy top robby kennedy, bobby ended up using later on behalf of the rule causes area. >> host: from her questions and the crowd here tonight, you'll understand you are in madison wisconsin, town filled with researchers. there actually several questions on how you did the research on the book. very interesting. one of them is at the historical society here in wisconsin, did you find materials they are that were of interest to you in regards to all this? whether any materials that particularly stood out? >> they were wonderful materials of the historical society. i d

joe kennedy had given enough money to mccarthy that whatever he asked, mccarthy was likely to say yes. joe kennedy was smart enough to say if he came to massachusetts and campaigned for the republican lodge, lots of irish catholic voters who loved joe mccarthy whether they were republicans or more likely democrats they would do what he said to do. .. . >> and mccarthy obviously had the backing of the party establishment but and epic figure in the state and it appears that at least early on he did not take mccarthy seriously enough. so you just captured through the campaigns and his campaign seldom took him seriously, tone - - tom coleman who was the dean of the star republicans never took him seriously as the guy and tom coleman's dream was somehow beating lafollette so that joe mccarthy call to do it is something that he didn't except that he watched mccarthy father can activist that he was so determined to him and he was the guy he had to get behind the desk behind i think he is getting older and been an opportunist long enough sure she wanted another return and to fight dirty like

mccarthy: things are still at the same place. there's one roadblock, there's one big wall that stopped this entire time and it's speaker pelosi. i would think after the politics that she played and the election being over that she'd now put the american people first. she still seems to be in the same position. the good news is you have 23 democrats who put their name on a letter back in september who said, if you did not do your job, speaker pelosi, we would sign the discharge petition. so now if they keep their word, if their word is true and the letter is right, we can at least get p.p.p. relief going. eah. reporter: cases are spiking across the country and in congress. there's still a number of your conference members that are not wearing masks around the capitol. are you concerned about that? and are you concerned that this virus might spread to your colleagues, keeping you all from getting things like the ndaa, government funding and a covid relief bill done before the end of the year? mr. mccarthy: well, i continue to get c

mccarthy: good morning. you've heard me quite a bit bout the historic republican freshman class we'll have in the next congress, but i want to give you a few facts. of the freshmen are either women or minorities. and michele steele will be the first korean congress.o serve in nancy mace will be the first female graduate of the citadel republican women from south carolina to serve in congress. the firstarold who is native american woman native to ongress and stephanie is the first iranian american woman congress. this makes me very proud as a republican. and as an american. lincoln that party of is also continuing the legacy of he first black american to serve in congress, joseph rainey of south carolina. into slavery and even after gaining his freedom, he received little education as child. he was drafted by the confederacy, but he escaped and and started a business. after the war, he moved back to georgetown, south carolina, with his family in 1867 -- and in chairman of the county's republican party. just a

mccarthy: well. his calling card of the campaign, if i listened to what former president joe biden said -- former president obama said is, there's no difference between joe biden and bernie sanders. ify watched what joe biden as a candidate said, he probably pretty much vendored to the socialist, letting them write the green new deal and others. i'm not sure. he was against fracking, then he said he was for it. i'm not sure which one showed up in the process. and if the election gets called in the manner of the way it's driving, we'll have to have that question. answered. yes. reporter: could you characterize how you see the party being different, moving beyond president trump in february, and if i could ask a follow-up, on serious negotiations, -- [indiscernible] -- planning on being in a room with speaker pelosi negotiating, either before or after january? mr. mccarthy: we would negotiate with anyone. the challenge is, i've been through more than four of these negotiations, which ended in getting l

mccarthy: not full. that are around 90%, 95%. >> cooper: but as new infections keep rising, so do the numbers of long-haulers. >> dr. mccarthy: there's thousands and thousands of people that are going through this. the numbers are enormous. and that's why it's so impactful. >> cooper: impactful not only on people's lives, on the economy, on-- >> dr. mccarthy: correct. on the healthcare system. how about-- >> cooper: on families. >> dr. mccarthy: the burden of care for the healthcare system that now has young patients, right, who, if we don't do something now to try to get them better, can have a chronic-type illness that then requires consistent and persistent money and care? >> cooper: nitza rochez says she has made some progress in recent weeks, but still has a long way to go. >> cooper: do you think you'll run again? >> rochez: yes. i was expecting to be running by now, so it's kind of a sensitive subject for me in general, but i'm hopeful. yes, i will be running again. >> cooper: it's a mental battle

mccarthy: yes. reporter: the president said he is confident the republicans are going to take over the house. are you confident in that? rep. mccarthy: i am confident we continue to grow the majority. much different than what every pundit said that we would lose an average of 15-20 seats. that is not true. we continue to go already seven seats and 11 we are winning now. we will see our majority continue to grow and see where this ends up. we thank the american public for their participation, we thank them for participating in this campaign, and now is the time to govern as we make sure every and thate is counted the campaign is fair and the election will be shown by all americans. thank you very much and god bless. announcer: here is a look at where the balance of power in the u.s. house currently stands based on numbers from the associated press. at this point democrats have 204 seats compared to 190 for republicans. undeclared, but democrats are expected to maintain a majority when the new congres

and then back to president mccarthy. >> president mccarthy: secretary, i guess commissioner moss, vice president moss, has any comments? >> vice president moss: no comment at this time. >> commissioner alexander-tut: is chief housing inspector -- [indiscernible] >> secretary: i don't see him on the call. yes, i do. yes, i do see him on the call. >> president mccarthy: yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut: i wanted to ask about -- as it's getting colder, specifically in the housing code section, 204 violation, it specifically calls out fire hot water and heat as the possibility of a misdemeanor or infraction. you know for failing to -- for outstanding violations. and i just wanted to ask for your response to what is the department's procedure for as we're getting to the colder months and the rainy months, for the heating ordinance? >> before i answer, i'd like this acknowledge commissioner alexander-tut, happy birthday? >> commissioner alexander-tut: thank you [laughter]. >> yes. we enforce the heat ordinance when we're in buildings to check boilers. make sure that the time clock is prope

joe mccarthy. that creates more problems i think for jack politically but you know this is a very close-knit family. this is not the family that screams and yells at each other, and so you don't see at least in the records that i have seen any particular anger on jack's part about the continued loyalty on bobby's part to mccarthy. >> lets in with this rather enigmatic question. i since the majority of jfk's thoughts and ideas were never vocalized or discussed by him. put another way, a lot of his thinking remained and revealed. therefore, there's a lot about jfk the real man whose thoughts and ideas that are mr. geithner will probably never know. do you agree or disagree? this gets to that question we talked about at the very start about how a biographer couldn't access to the inner life of a real person who died 60 years, almost 60 years ago. >> i think it's a very perceptive question. and i do think that he does keep a part of himself secret. i think we all do, but maybe he does it a little more

how he felt about bobby's devotion to mccarthy and his service on mccarthy's committee, i think that early on he was very much inclined to let bobby do what he felt like he should do and it was a good career move for bobby. the father wanted bobby to have that position. i think as mccarthy became more controversial and started doing more and more outrageous things, i think it became a problem. by then bobby is no longer in mccarthy's employ if we put it that way, but he was still very close to joe mccarthy, that creates more problems, i think, for jack politically, but you know, this is a very close knit family. this is not a family that screams at yells at each other apso, you don't see at least in the records that i've seen any particular anger on jack's part about the continued loyalty on bobby's part to mccarthy. >> and let's end with this rather enigmatic question. i sense the majority of jfk's thoughts and ideas were never vocal idesed -- vocalized by him. remained unrevealed. there is therefore there's a lot about jfk, the man, that we'll never know and remains a mystery. and

and the mccarthy. with three britain to them as liberal democrats of whether a politician could be trusted. whether they could respect politicians. in the did not, they did not see them because largely because think stevenson was much more outspoken. and so when it came to 1960s, they celebrated kennedy's election. but he was another man. and he never was the man. that is really during the mccarthy. and i think for a lot of liberals, that remains true so i think the decisive effect, not to mention the politics that time but on the camp that democrat saw him and have a divided on him. fredrick: i think that's a really good point. i'll talk just a little bit about this. that is that it is worth noting that the democrat party as a whole including liberals like hubert humphrey, for a very long time were unwilling to criticize mccarthy. we are . far and 54 to see broad parts of the party begin to go after him in any serious way. so kennedy is not alone in this. in fact, another senior senator from massachus

commissioner mccarthy, any further questions? >> commissioner mccarthy: thank you for that clarification from deputy director duffy. i think it can be solved by getting these drawings plan checked. i thought that's where we left off in the last hearing, so i'm glad to hear they're close and they've gone through major stations. so if staff could see if we can get it out and get these people their bathroom and get them back in their home so there is no more issue. as i said in the last statement, this has gone on too long. but at the end of the day we have to comply with -- if she has submitted the drawings and covid has turned our world upside down and there is a lot of these situations out there, so we have to work through the situations. >> covid won't be a problem here. i think as soon as we have the proper drawings we'll issue this permit the very same day. i think it's more to do with making sure that we have appropriate permit documents so we can get this permit out of here and i think we can just turn that around like liter

how he felt about bobby's devotion to mccarthy and his service on mccarthy's committee, i think that early on he was very much inclined to let bobby do what he felt he should do and the faer wanted bobby to have acquisition. as mccarthy became more controversial and started doing more and more outrageous claim to be able problem but by then bobby is no longer in mccarthy's employee if we put it that way but he was still very close. to me as more problems i think for jack politically but this is a very close knit family. this is not a family that screamed and yelled at each other so you don't see in the records i've seen any particular anger on jack's part about jack's continued loyalty tomccarthy . >> left and with this rather enigmatic question. i sense that the majority of jfk's thoughtsand ideas were never localized or discussed by him . another way a lot of his thinking remains unrevealed . that's what a lot about jfk, the real man, his thoughts and ideas we will probably never know. do you agree or disagree and this gets to that question we talked about at the start about having

mccarthy: exactly the plan i told you two years ago. i believe the republican party is much more diverse than what reflects on the floor. i think this election proved it. when you look at who ran, who represented the party and where they are from. when you look at the results in the outcome, it's only in this room when we get a new record for the number of women, more diverse, it only makes us stronger. that's what makes america strong. we're reflecting on that. think about where we one. we want to seats in miami. maria salazar, carlos gimenez. maria defeated the congresswoman who was the former secretary of health and human services. called herself a pragmatic socialist. when i listen to the democratic allus on twitter, they're -- we defeated a sitting chairman of the committee. been here more than 30 years. dccc in the race and it was questioned on election night whether she was going to win. should at least let us have what took place that night. it was an unbelievable night for republicans in congress. something that we told you abo

roosevelt i think he liked mccarthy in person. doesn't want to criticize mccarthy. >> i can only imagine and it did not mean enough to him and then to reject his father like that. >> parents were a little younger than and jfk and it was a litmus test has liberal democrats could be trusted so largely because stevenson. >> when it came to 1960 they celebrated kennedy's election and with the mccarthy. not too much of the politics of that time and how they divide it on him. >> but it is worth noting the democratic party of the whole like hubert humphrey for a very long time were unwilling to criticize men to see the broad partisan support to go after him in any serious way. so the senator from massachusetts, a republican is not just more so than jack kennedy so he is not alone. >> and profiles of courage , here we differ a little bit the evidence is powerful the broad architecture of the book the theme of the book and the argument and the need for evidence-based discourse. and then for compromise in a democracy. >> those themes are ja

data mccarthy is a rehab specialist. there's a waitlist to get in. the vast majority of the patients you see here at this center were never hospitalized. >> correct. >> so, they weren't on ventilators? this is not ramifications from being in the hospital? >> correct. yep. >> dr. mccarthy is treating her patients' symptoms as best she can, but isn't much closer to understanding what's causing them. >> do we know now what's going on? >> no. >> no? >> no. we still don't know. no. >> i think it's a little bit of a mystery. let's take little bit out of it. i think it's a mystery. this virus has many different affects on the human body just like what 9/11 did to those survivors. so, as a kind of catastrophic event at one time that causes a large group of special patients, you know, in a way, this is very similar to 9/11 but on a much grander scale. >> the pool of patients is much larger. >> absolutely. >> mount sinai is studying commonalities among that pool of patients using data they've compiled in scanning huang haulers' brains, lungs and hearts to see

that's the message i'm sure kevin mccarthy will run on. host: and he has promised, or predicted, that republicans will take back the house in 2022. let's take calls, sabrina in north carolina, on the independent line. caller: i'm curious on the stimulus packages. is notstand that biden for those but we desperately need them. asheville has several businesses closed due to covid and there's hardly any work. so my question is, do you think that biden is going to pass any relief packages for the people? i think he wants to. one of the situation -- this is one of those situations, where everyone wants to do something. i'm disappointed congress didn't get something done. from my perspective nancy pelosi got in the way of that, that she did not want to change the election. she was clearly running out the clock on the trump presidency, thinking she could potentially get a better deal with biden. i think that's a risky proposition. the idea that republicans who are hesitant to get there andre donald trump administration are now going to come and be

if joining now with house mind e minority leader, kevin mccarthy, that's all good for her to be saying on a conference call, but how many are willing to take on the squad in public and media on the show? >> they will be primary to and the louvre. it shows more of the fraud. not one incumbent loss. if we ahead in ten more. how would he lose an atmosphere like that? how was it possible someone's claiming that joe biden would win, but not one republican member of congress lost election. but almost 15 democrats did. you know what's happening, we're watching this before this go before or very eyes. when did they stop counting all the robots come in so they know how many more they need? on my way here tonight, they conceded iowa too by less than 300 votes. i don't have all the facts but i was just reported that they allowed a little over 300 people to read about and now we are behind buried why would all those people vote -- yeah, i don't have all the facts, the attorneys are rushing it. but this is what is transforming across america. it was interesting to me, i spent four years listening t

i grew up with senator mccarthy. he made the speech that, as i understand it, he is not -- he is not willing to work with the new administration if biden is the president. here you supported that -- he was winningen obama the election, that he was not going to support him. supervision -- the president of the united states who you support and you say is the best you have ever seen. he has said that the judges are not fair. certain judges do things wrong. ,ut yet were black lives matter black lives matter says, hey, i have been mistreated. all of these things right here, were wrong. we are socialists, we are not part of the united states. this bickering that goes on, i hear you and other people -- look at what you're are saying about leffler. she doesn't believe black lives matter, but she also that she doesn't support those people -- host: we are running out of time with the congressman, so i will have him respond to what he has heard so far. guest: first of all, i haven't heard kevin mccarthy say he has not willing t

mccarthy responded, it depends how it turns out.o thought he cheated, he's still going to have a hard time. back with us now, errol louis, as well as cnn analyst and propublica reporter, jessica huseman. hey, errol, minority leader kevin mccarthy wasn't just spitballing that number, that's from an actual poll. that's monmouth poll where they ask, do you think biden won this election fair and square. only 18% of republicans a week ago, well, even less a few days ago, thought that. and they think it's due to voter fraud, 70% of republicans think that. and so it turns out that the blizzard of, you know, specious court cases and the constant repetition of that slogan, voter fraud, voter fraud has taken root. >> yes, it's very unfortunate. and i guess kevin mccarthy and his colleagues can be proud of themselves, that they've managed to distort and denigrate an election for the highest office in the land. that they've managed to sow enough doubt and distrust that they've done what foreign adversaries have tried repeatedly and failed to do

i think what kevin mccarthy is going to be doing over the next two years is going to be running hard against the joe biden administration. i think kevin did an incredible job bringing republicans basically right near the finish line. we are, you know, going to have a republican minority that is in the teens. you need 218 and they're going to have 214 or something like that. so close. and i think what you need to do now is pivot from just being a donald trump party to being a good opposition party running against that progressive agenda that he was talking about. >> how do you do that? if you were in your role that you have been in, your roles, to the speaker's office, what advice would you be giving kevin mccarthy houston about how he plays out the next two years? >> i think they need to be laser focused on the democrats. it's much easier to be a minority party when you have an administration to sort of take on. i think the biden administration's legislative agenda is probably taken a serious hit without having control of the senate. we don't know that for sure, but it seems that way

joining me now is house minority leader kevin mccarthy. leader mccarthy, i know you put a lot of emphasis on candidate recruitment. you defied the odds. you have proved a lot of people wrong. you were able to do a lot better with these house races, flipping many of these democrats back to the side. >> the strategy is figuring out the very best candidates. you covered this, we were able to expand a number of women who have ever run as a republican. >> dana: let me put this up on the screen. these are the g.o.p. women that were flipping the house seats in new mexico, minnesota, florida, iowa and south carolina. >> and down in miami. and oklahoma city. we won every part of this country and you know what we will do? we will have more women, republicans in congress and the history of the congress. every pundit said we would lose between 15 and 20 seats in the opposite happened. we are already ahead and we have 1 of 7 seats by dap and we are ahead and 11 more. this is more diverse. you look at carlos gimenez. america will be more reflective in c

i grew up with senator mccarthy.e made the speech that, as i understand it, he is not -- he is not willing to work with the new administration if biden is the president. here you supported that -- he was winningen obama the election, that he was not going to support him. supervision -- the president of the united states who you support and you say is the best you have ever seen. he has said that the judges are not fair. certain judges do things wrong. ,ut yet were black lives matter black lives matter says, hey, i have been mistreated. all of these things right here, were wrong. we are socialists, we are not part of the united states. this bickering that goes on, i hear you and other people -- look at what you're are saying about leffler. she doesn't believe black lives matter, but she also that she doesn't support those people -- host: we are running out of time with the congressman, so i will have him respond to what he has heard so far. guest: first of all, i haven't heard kevin mccarthy say he has not willing to

secretary mccarthy, battle buddy from the fields of strife in southern afghanistan.an extraordinary honor to be here beside you today. who would have thunk it. thank you for your leadership. a grateful country thanks you today and every day for your commitment to protect our homeland and our way of life. i'm glad to be joined by my fellow veterans here today to celebrate the story of the american soldier. on a personal note, i look forward to seeing the path of remembrance comprised of roughly 8000 commemorative bricks, each dedicated to an army supporter, civilian or soldier, including one from my father, a proud korean war veteran. within these walls lies the most conference of collection of u.s. army artifacts, documents and images collected in one place. only here can you immerse yourself in revolutionary war memorabilia, experience the sights of trench warfare of world war i and see one of the six remaining d-day landing craft. around each corner are compelling exhibits that trace the evolution of warfare through time and illustrate how the army adapts and overc

there's joe mccarthy and you can see baby trump. mewling and puking in his arms, that's in the background of course is roy m cohen. this is joe mccarthy's lullaby, a poem i imagine, i thought of it as i was taking a shower at about 8:30 in the morning and by 11 am i had already written a poemand down the illustrations . this was the only one that came easy. maybe it's because it was a lullaby and since it's nighttime and where wrapping this up, this is my life for you. hush little dumpy, don't you cry. you'll be in dreamland by and by. harken back many years ago to the time of your uncle joe. if you're feeling all alone, give a thought to roy m cohen . if you're cranky, be like me . copy my demagoguery. still the nations schism, by attacking socialism area craft on legal jurisdiction by rescinding lynn's conviction. if you like the chinese connection, you'll squeak by in the next election. if you're pulls are getting low, simply take joe scarborough. if you can't win every crucial state, by invoking obama gate. if you're badly trail

he puts our mo rocca to the test. >> reporter: writer and teacher colman mccarthy begins each schoola hundred dollars, if anybody can answer the quiz on names, its yours. mo, i want you to take the quiz. >> reporter: okay. >> who is robert e. lee? >> he was the general of the confederate army, of northern virginia. >> yes. >> reporter: i started off confidently. >> who is napoleon? >> reporter: he was a guy with a complex. >> yes. it's looking good. >> reporter: but then... >> emily balch? >> reporter: she is not the woman who wouldn't go out of her house in massachusetts and wrote poetry? >> no. she is a nobel peace prize winner. >> reporter: nor could i identify jody william, a nobel winner for her work with landmines, or the first woman elected to congress and the only member to vote against american involvement in both world wars. >> mo, don't feel back. it is always safe money. i can always count on american education. >> reporter: for 38 years, colman mccarthy has been trying to give away that $100 to the more than 30,000 high school and college students in the washington, d.c.

i want to bring in former attorney andrew mccarthy. challenges of the trump team, let's pop out here and i will show you the rest of the state. legally, what grounds do you have right now? what do you go after from a law perspective? >> the big issue there bill as you just discussed were the mailing ballots. the state supreme court changed pennsylvania statutory law to allow these three extra days of counting. not of voting, but counting. the big issue is, under the constitution that's really the state legislature's responsibility and not the courts. so was it legal for the court to do that? the important thing to remember is unlike most judicial tribunals, the supreme court is the master of its own docket. so it does not have two take the pennsylvania case. it has been trying not to take it for i think probably three weeks now, really bending over backwards to avoid having the court intervene in our electoral politics. what i would be fearful of and the reason i think president trump would be better suited having the lawyers discuss t

commissioner mccarthy? >> inspector hernandez, what -- i so know you've said what the charge is here, but the permit, the violation in front of us today is for work done without a permit. now you went through a list of that work there. is that a part of this violation? for example, you said there was a deck there. for exceeding the work there. there was a permit, which is what we're here in front of us today, it's for work exceeded. >> yes, yes. >> can you tell us what work exceeded? >> it's adding extensive work, sky lights and creation of a roof deck and living space on the top floor. >> so this is what was found to be not permitted to do. >> yes. >> just so my notes are clear, that date was from 2018. >> yes, from november. >> and then, that violation was issued to the appellant then, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> and then, sometime in 2019, we had the hearing, correct? >> correct. >> and in that 2019 hearing, a comment was made, it was almost the whole hearing was hearsay. it had nothing to do

commissioner mccarthy, any further questions? >> commissioner mccarthy: thank you for that clarification from deputy director duffy. i think it can be solved by getting these drawings plan checked. i thought that's where we left off in the last hearing, so i'm glad to hear they're close and they've gone through major stations. so if staff could see if we can get it out and get these people their bathroom and get them back in their home so there is no more issue. as i said in the last statement, this has gone on too long. but at the end of the day we have to comply with -- if she has submitted the drawings and covid has turned our world upside down and there is a lot of these situations out there, so we have to work through the situations. >> covid won't be a problem here. i think as soon as we have the proper drawings we'll issue this permit the very same day. i think it's more to do with making sure that we have appropriate permit documents so we can get this permit out of here and i think we can just turn that around like liter

just as mccarthy had these lists of names and things, and it was exactly when klaus was arrested. it was a tremendous whirlwind, of communism. then the year before that, in 1948 and 1949, just a few years before and that had been going on for quite some time. so it really in the u.s., and there was much more news than in britain. and so written said well let's go into the next story. they didn't make a big deal of it. and they also have a different legal system, they cannot make a big deal of it because if too many too much information comes out on it it jeopardizes the trial. and in fact, when the brits gave the fbi information, it almost seemed to leak out. and it would end up in the u.s. news, then it would end up in england, and mi5 said, if it comes in here it will mess up our trial. and we are going to lose. we're not even going to have a trial, if you know we are jeopardized by what's in the british press. so that was a big concern to mi5 and the british, so it's harder for them to whip things up. or was it that time under those particular laws. because they couldn't put a

joining me, house minority leader, conkman kevin mccarthy -- congressman kevin mccarthy. the democrats are criticizing us for questioning things that are have much a part of lawsuits and affidavits. where people are swearing they are telling the truth. what are your thoughts on this. >> it doesn't matter if you are a republican or democrat. you should want every legal vote to count. you should want every recount to be finished and every legal challenge to be heard. we believe our election should be fair, honest and accurate. i will give you one small example. in new jersey 7 congressional district. the ap called it. we are find out that may not be the case. the republican may end up winning. every pollster told us the president down 17 points in wisconsin to losing the senate to lose the state legislature. and the republicans would lose 15-20 seats in the house. not one republican lost in the house. we didn't lose one legislature. and we are holding the senate. let it finish in a recounted and let every legal challenge be heard to make sure in this year when we've had bal

leader mccarthy joins me right now.ons, congressman, and good morning to you. >> good morning, maria, and thanks foror having us back. maria: is so, first, assess the situation for us after 12 flippeds seat seats. what does the new face of the house republicans look like? >> well, the face looks very tremendous. i mean, we've had more women than at any time serving in congress. the republican party really made great gains. not only did we flip 12, there are 4 a more case -- races out there, and we're ahead in all 4. i expect we'll end up somewhere around 212, 213 seats. it only13 takes 218 for a majority. this will be the closest of a majority that at any time since world war ii. and really nobody saw this coming. the american people have now rejected nancy pelosi and the democrat socialist policies. the next two years are going to be about the republican commitment versus the democrats' agenda. maria: is so how does that play out inha realtime to then? tell me about what that gives you as a party in terms of potential

joining me is kevin mccarthy.hat is all well and good to be saying in a conference call but how many of them are willing to take on the squad in public, in the media like on this show. >> number of them because they will be primary they will lose but what is interesting and shows more of the fraud, not one republican incumbent lost, already eight seats that ahead in ten more. how did donald trump lose in an atmosphere like that. how is it possible to claim that joe biden would win and not one republican member of congress lost reelection but almost 15 democrats did. we are watching this before our very eyes. why is it in these major states the big city stopped counting and all the votes come and so they know how many more they need. on the way here tonight, we are heading acetonitrile too by 300 votes. i don't have all the facts but just reported they allowed a little over 300 people to re-vote and now we are behind. i don't have all the facts but this is transforming across america and what is interesting to me,

it's a question raised by kevin mccarthy.really pathetic excuse for shoddy polling, its republican efforts to prevent certain populations from voting, easily had a sizable impact the fact that pollsters knew would be immeasurable in the service. we will not know how many ballots will were not delivered by the post office. robert, what about that? >> he went on this mainstream, but this is not too far? first of all, i can't conceive of a conspiracy with the post office and if there was one, you think it would help the republicans? >> laura: roberts, quick on the african minority votes, you believe that the exit polling is not an accurate reflection. 15 seconds, why? >> because he won't tell the truth on the flow, you're never going to tell the truth to some kid with a ipad or a notepad. it's not reasonable. child voters are a child for the reason, they're not going to take the ridicule from the person standing in front of them. >> laura: went high as 20% so far. robert, thank you so much. up next, anderson cooper shows us his

tell me what you're doing. >> well it's mccarthy-ism.here are a group of bullying students at harvard who said they want to put people who worked for president trump whether they'vevery been in the administration or people like me who have made the argument on the floor of the senate against impeachment, basically subject us to re- education camps like in communist china or the former africa and they won't let us appear or speak on campus or teach students or make lectures unless we kind of confess our guilt. it's pure mccarthy-ism and i'm putting together a legal team to pro bono represent anybody whose denied their first amendment rights to speak on the campus or the right to the students to hear speeches on campus. there was a petition to try to takeaway my emeritus status because i defended the presidency against impeachment and if i were a member of a big law firm and i had agreed to represent president trump, i would have gotten all kind of pressure. fortunately, i'm independent the only person i have to listen to is my wife who ba

that's the message i'm sure kevin mccarthy will run on. host: and he has promised, or edicted, that republicans will take back the house in 2022. let's take calls, sabrina in north carolina, on the independent line. caller: i'm curious on the stimulus packages. is notstand that biden for those but we desperately need them. asheville has several businesses closed due to covid and there's hardly any work. so my question is, do you think that biden is going to pass any relief packages for the people? i think he wants to. one of the situation -- this is one of those situations, where everyone wants to do something. i'm disappointed congress didn't get something done. from my perspective nancy pelosi got in the way of that, that she did not want to change the election. she was clearly running out the clock on the trump presidency, thinking she could potentially get a better deal with biden. i think that's a risky proposition. the idea that republicans who are hesitant to get there andre donald trump administration are now going to come and be w
