now we can go to our proclamation, president mccarthy. >> president mccarthy: thank you, madam secretary, and we're taking this out of order here because our interim director had a meeting this morning and he wanted to be here. so you are here, patrick? >> yes. yes, i am. thank you. >> president mccarthy: i want to read something into the record here if i may. so on behalf of the commission, i wanted to thank and to congratulate deputy director of inspection services, ed sweeney, who is taking his well-earned retirement from the department at the end of this week i believe on december 18th. deputy director sweeney has been one of the department's leadership -- leadership pillars for more years than i can remember, and he has rendered outstanding building code, permit review and inspections and code enforcement and professionalism throughout his career with d.b.i. and with the city and county. ed began his distinguished career nearly 22 years ago with d.b.i. on january 25th, 1999. when he -- if you could mute there, sonya -- when he joined the department at -- as a 6331 building inspector

and things like that. >> i'm more than happy to do that, president mccarthy. >> president mccarthy: thank you, mr. duffy. i didn't know you were on the line. go ahead, amy. >> i interrupted. >> i was going to say, i believe that i am late to the game and no longer able to get on the committee, but i will submit some ideas to the committee for consideration because i -- yeah. i'm very supportive of where this legislation is going and want to see this quickly resolved. >> president mccarthy: perfect. so, amy, finish your thought. >> thank you so much. thank you very much for hearing this today. i really appreciate it. and we have been working with the staff already and both john and they've been helpful along the way. i want to ensure that we are able to -- the group got kind of big. i want to make sure we're able to move forward on a really clear time line with the goal of us being able to make any modifications and suggestion for introductions by the 17th so we would then be able to present any changes to land use when we take it to land use. but i wanted to make sure that we're able to h

so what's happening is mccarthy is, i think, a perfect example

as to how guide things will operate, once leader mccarthy is speaker mccarthy, the historic productivity we saw the last ime republicans were in charge in the 115th congress. leader mccarthy led us in cutting regulations, taxes, supporting our veterans, ombating opioid addiction and human trafficking, securing our borders, growing our economy, nation.nding our leader mccarthy made sure that we passed on time and at a the first level for time in more than a decade defense appropriations to ensure we fulfilled our most sacred constitutional duty. that is the kind of record he will deliver on again. republicans, we know that the united states is our sword and our shield. we know that our rights do not government. they come from god. we know that those rights are exquisite y the structure designed by our founding fathers. side of here on this the aisle, madam clerk, we're going to continue to call them fathers. despite the new house rules package. we know that the man to lead us the important work ahead is our republican mccarthy.vin madam clerk, because he will lead us in fighting for all t

mccarthy: go right ahead. reporter: are you concerned about fundraising this quarter now that dozens of corporations are not going to support people who objected to the electoral college results? mr. mccarthy: not at all. reporter: follow up on that. do you think that members of congress who have any role in what happened on january 6 should be prosecuted? mr. mccarthy: any member participated in breaking the law or rie outing that way, yes. i think anybody should be held to account. i do not know of any member who has done that. this is why i called for last week after this happened a bipartisan commission. we should get to the bottom of this. there are so many questions that need to be answered. there are so many questions that i had personally as a leader. i read into the paper that the f.b.i., prior to any rally, had information that something was going to happen here and conveyed that to the capitol police. i want to know why was the republican leader not notified of that? why was i not notified to make s

kevin mccarthy could do something about that. he has not. >> assigning her to the education committee when she has mocked the killing of little children at sandy hook elementary school, when she has mocked the killing of teenagers in high school at the marjory stoneman douglas high school, what could they be thinking? or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing? >> house speaker pelosi today. and though she did not mention the congresswoman by name, she also touched on the thread that some members continued to feel since the insurrection and where she thinks some of that threat is coming from. >> i do believe and i have said this all along, that we will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. a threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. >> now, when pressed on what she meant, speaker pelosi said, "it means we have members of congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence o

kevin mccarthy, not so much. >> mccarthy and other republicans at the same time are facing very, very serious, tough, questions about why they aren't doing more to rebuke a gop member for her truly shocking, outrageous statements about school shootings, violence against democrats. update our viewers on this. >> and, wolf, this is really extraordinary. of course, we heard a lot from congresswoman from georgia marjorie taylor greene. we've seen some video that was unearth ed by cnn's "k" file of her before she became a member of congress was simply harassing students from parkland school who were here in washington lobbying senators and other members of congress on gun legislation. we can look at some of that video here. she's following them around on capitol hill. she certainly is taunting them. repeatedly. and it is clear that this has been upsetting for many republicans and many members of congress on both sides of the aisle. now a leader mccarthy said he is, you know, certainly not pleased by this and he would have a conversation with her, but he has not stripped her of committee as

kevin mccarthy is not matt gaetz's leader. donald trump is. >> yeah, mike, i mean, minority leader mccarthy said he wanted the republican caucus to help, quote, bring people back together. how does that square with matt gaetz going to wyoming and attacking liz cheney, the number 3 person in the caucus? >> well, look, kevin was pretty strong on the call i believe it was yesterday and put his own personal leadership on the line and said you elected me leader and i'm not going to stand for this, we have to work together. and i think what kevin's approach is, just like he did today going to the president to talk one on one, when marjorie taylor greene was first elected last year he went to meet with her and got her to disavow qanon. i think he's going to meet with her next week about some of the stuff that's come up recently about her. that's what kevin does. he meets with these folks one on one and that's how you bring a team together. and it's very different -- >> mike, he took $175,000 from her yesterday. they were on the fund-

trump releasing a statement after his meeting with mccarthy. the former president says, quote, president trump's popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. president trump has agreed to work with leader mccarthy in helping the republican party become the majority in the house. not the republican party. let's just be clear here. the republican party of trump, because it's two different parties now. mccarthy has bought all-in to the trump part. it's clear to him trump is more important than truth. and mccarthy is not alone in it his buy-in into this whole trump mythology. just a short time ago the republican congressman from florida matt gaetz got on a plane, traveled 1500 miles to his district to a tamme his republican colleague liz chain cheney. why? because cheney did not buy into trump's big lie. she didn't cast doubt on the election results and she also voted to impeach the former president for inciting the insurrection. she wrote, quote, the president of the u

. >> house republican leader kevin mccarthy has promised to have a word with marjorie taylor greene about the racist, antisemitic, homicidal thoughts she has publicly expressed. but more important mri for kevin mccarthy, he had to go to florida today to talk to the man who is facing trial for incitement of insurrection at the u.s. capitol. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump. accept his share of responsibility, quell the bruling unrest and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. >> the cowardly kevin did not say a word of that to donald trump today. kevin mccarthy released a statement saying, today president trump committed to helping elect republicans in the house and senate in 2022. that commitment is of course worth absolutely nothing because it's from donald trump. kevin mccarthy still hasn't released a statement saying that marjorie taylor greene has promised not to encour

how does mccarthy justify this? >> what you're seeing right now is the republican party really soul searching for where they go after trump. and there's really a disagreement clearly happening right now within the party. they had a conference call yesterday in which mccarthy made the case to his members. quote, they need to cut the crap and stop fighting with each other. stop attacking each other. but a couple thousand miles away in wyoming you have matt gates, a republican, a conservativecau making the case against the number three in leadership, liz cheney, against the case for why she shouldn't have voted to impeach former president trump. so clearly, a lot of members not getting that message and, of course, you had mccarthy going to florida to meet with former president trump. this comes just three weeks after that insurrection at the capitol where mccarthy was trying, pleading with the president to try to come out with a stronger message to stop the mob on capitol hill. to tell them to go home, to get away from

kevin mccarthy is looking toward the future here. that's where he said that this is a slim majority and their grip on the majority is slim as well. it's going to be very interesting to see what they're able to accomplish and sometimes what happens when you have a narrow majority, you have both sides buckle down, especially if republicans think they can get the majority in two years. they're not going to be willing to work with the other side. you might think, well, they could work in coalitions and so on. that probably won't happen over the next two years. jon: chad pergram covering congress for us on capitol hill. chad, thank you. let's bring in our panel, susan is washington examiner chief congressional correspondent, alex bolton is senior reporter for the hill and james freeman, wall street journal editorial page assistant editor. susan, this is your beat, this new 177th congress is now convened. what are you expecting? are we going to see kindness and friendship break out all over as don young just urged of the speaker? >> no, i

kevin mccarthy has said he will have a private conversation with her. this situation? >> we're going to have two, at least, censure resolutions next week. i'm leading one against congressman mo brooks of alabama who addressed the mob before they laid siege to the capitol and told them today is the day american patriots start taking names and kicking ass. we're going to do that. and, yes, there will be motions to expel marjorie taylor greene. and what's going to happen? well, i think my resolution will pass fairly easily. as for expulsion, that's up to the republicans, right? because it takes two-thirds. they're going to have to tell us who they are, what kind of party they are. and, you know, i hear a lot from my republican colleagues about, it's time to move on, you know, don't live in the past, we've got to unify. but, you know, again, i think you pointed this out a few minutes ago, they're not unifying or moving on when it comes to liz cheney or adam kinzinger, they're not moving on when it comes to resolutions condemning cindy mccain and primary cha

help us square what mccarthy is saying and what mccarthy is saying. >> i think you're getting hung up what he -- mccarthy is moving with the political wins. let's say that at the start. he's clearly contradicting himself. who knows if he believed the first thing or the second thing. i think what's fascinating about this is the shift, bri, right? mccarthy is a pretty establishment politician, came up through the system in california. he was wasn't considered a populist right winger of the trump kind until trump came along and changed the republican party, and so this sort of cynical shift in just a matter of days to me is fascinating because he's not afraid to do it, right? these guys have been terrified by their own base, the trump base, for four years, basically, and now, whether it's mcconnell got to him or some other elements of the republican p party, the fact that he has decided he needed to be on the other side of this issue after, as you point supporting the lawsuits, supporting the objection to the results and not being able to call out the incitement, the fact that he has shi

-- kevin mccarthy, sorry. sign him up, keep him. tim, not to be confused with kevin, what do you make of this relationship? this was a quick turnaround. >> i'm in the market for a starburst man myself, brian. but look, here's another deep cut for you. kevin mccarthy said in a private call with house members before the 2016 election, said that he thought that donald trump was an asset of vladimir putin's and he was rooting for donald trump to lose but thought they just had to go along with him for survival. that was five years ago. that's the kind of man kevin mccarthy is. he thought the man he supported for president was an asset of an enemy government and he went along with it. and then donald trump won and he became his starburst buddy. so, why should we be surprised that he's doing? why should we be surprised that kevin mccarthy, three weeks after donald trump tried to end our democracy -- i sometimes feel like i'm on crazy bells when i'm listening to these republicans talk about what happened trying to mov

all right, that makes sense, kevin mccarthy. kiss the ring of the disgraced king without a throne and when he was emperor, refused to tell him. i remember when lindsey graham tweeted, if we nominate trump, we'll get trdestroyed and we'll get deserved it. remember that. >> in the face of all that, president biden and his administration is staying above the drama. jen psaki refused to talk about marjorie taylor greene. >> did the white house have a comment on this profile that have emerged of representative marjorie taylor greene and is there a response to whether any disciplinary action should be taken against her? >> we don't and i am not going to speak further about her in this briefing room. >> that was classy shade. nope and i am done talking about her. next. she did it a lot. whatever. no, nothing to say, move along. staying above the drama. the secretary of state, anthony blinken, tony blinken from the pro pro previous administration saying the press holds them accountable and makes them better. that really does make us bet

the president said but according to sources, the president did tell house minority leader kevin mccarthy he bore some responsibility for what happened in last wednesday's capitol hill riot. sources say mccarthy spoke via conference call to house republican colleagues, gop conference relaying what he and what the president discussed in a phone call yesterday specifically that president trump acknowledged that he was partly to blame for the storming of the capitol but axios is reporting today in that call the president was also blaming antifa for the violence according to ox yos mccarthy saying it is not antifa, it is maga, i know, i

doesn't -- kevin mccarthy doesn't want them fighting.is, sometimes a fight's worth having. and this is one about the direction of the country as well as theg. party. when you have rino like mcconnell and mccarthy and the leadership team that mcconnell has assembled in the senate and the same with mccarthy, you're talking about an orthodox gop that is staid, it's unimaginative, it is not connected tos people, it is utterly dependent, as you well know, on the good -- [laughter] the good money of the k street, business lobbyists, wall street and big tech. and the american people come way down the list. it is not about americans first, it's about corporate america first. and always. >> well, the president changed a lot inlo this country, president trump. he changed the dynamics, changed the agenda. he did not change the culture of washington. and my sense today is that'll get changed as time goes on, and as we look to the future, we have to track young people, we have to track more women voters. but the reality is we shouldn't be sitting her

kevin mccarthy reportedly stood up to him. during a 30-minute phone call yesterday with mccarthy, president trump falsely blamed antifa people for storming the capitol. that is a lie they tried to spread, to no avail. another source told "axios", mccarthy would have none of it telling the president, it's not antifa, it's maga. i know. i was there. the white house official described the call as tense with trump ranting about election fraud and an exasperated mccarthy cutting in to say stop it. it's over. the election is over. . >> stop it. it's over. the election is over. it's not hard, republicans. stop it. it's over. the election is over. and if you tell americans this, mika, an amazing thing may happen. we may actually be able to prevent further murders of capitol hill police officers. we may be able to prevent further abuse against law enforcement officers, the killing of five people in the capital, insurrection against the united states of america. riots against the united states of america. >> security of the free press.

i mean, did mccarthy's threats mean anything to the trump wing of the party? >> no.ing of the party, you know, remains the party. i mean, this is exactly what republicans have let themselves in for. as we discussed before. by allowing trump's unfounded claims, his lies about the election, to take root because they basically guarantee his influence in the party remains enormous. you can't look at him and say, well, he led us to defeat. no, he wasn't defeated. it was stolen. that argument. by allowing and abetting that argument, they have put themselves in a position where his tattoo on the party getting deeper and deeper. it is worth noting while republicans are still overwhelmingly bending the knee to trump as we saw in the senate as well, there was new polling out today from the public religion research institute that roughly three-fifths of americans overall says he's encouraging white supremacist groups and bears a lot of responsibility for the attack on the capitol. i mean, they are deepening their association with him, even after an unprecedented riot that raise

that makes sense, kevin mccarthy. kiss the ring of the disgraced king without a throne and when he was emperor refused to tell him he was wearing no clothes. i remember when lindsey graham tweeted "if we nominate trump we will get destroyed and we will deserve it." remember that? ronna mcdaniel also telling the a.p. the gop will stay neutral in 2024. well, they've got a funny way of showing it. in the face of all that president biden and his administration staying above the drama. high road. the press secretary, jen psaki, refusing to even talk about marjorie taylor greene. >> does the white house have a comment on the social media profile that has emerged of representative marjorie taylor greene, and is there a response to whether any disciplinary action should be taken against her regarding everything that's come out? >> we don't. and i'm not going to speak further about her i think in this briefing room. >> that was classy shade. nope. and i'm done talking about her. next. she did it a lot. i would just -- whatever

and according to the same reports about these conversations with mccarthy, mccarthy is portrayed beingough on trump, taking a stand against the president's bs reportedly telling him, quote, stop it, it's over, the election is over. and it's not antifa, it's maga. i know, i was there. "it's maga, he said, it's trump supporters." mccarthy told the house mon there was undisputedly no evident of the antifa participating in the storming of the u.s. capitol. so for sure he was in this phone call standing up to trump but where would trump get this idea it was not his supporters? oh, i don't know, how about from kevin mccarthy and fox on the night of the attack? >> people came here to do some damage. i don't know who they're with, but they came here to do some damage. >> we knew this big crowd was coming, right? we knew they were coming. whether antifa was in there or not, we'll find out more. >> it's not the only lie the house minority leader fueled the past two months. he refused to call joe biden the president-elect. >> now that joe biden won the election -- >> more than 100 republican hous

kevin mccarthy, who stuck with him as long as anybody.hat day at the capitol, kasie, you were on the air live. and kevin mccarthy is calling the president, giving him important advice about calling off his people. the president not listening. winding up in a screaming match. and, again, yesterday we're having to have the house republican leaders say to the president, it's over. >> i mean, it's just absolutely stunning. mike, what do we know -- i know you will have in "axios" a.m. on the security precautions that are going forward for the inaugural. i'm talking to members who, some of them are thinking about not attending the inauguration because they are so scared for their own safety. what are you hearing? . >> that's very interesting, casey. we are writing about fortress d.c. last night house democrats got a briefing from the capitol police on the phone that they found terrifying. huff post first reported this. "axios" has confirmed it. and there are numerous plots around the inauguration that are concerning to members. we saw the washi

but mccarthy didn't listen. and the reason he didn't listen is because trump likes marjorie taylor greene. the president at the time saw her as a very adamant supporter. and so he sort of turned a blind eye. she won the primary. and then she won the general election. and the republicans are going to have to answer for all of these comments she has made over and over again. this is not the last story. we will see more of these sorts of reports, i'm certain, in the coming weeks and months and years. and mccarthy will be asked about them, and you know, what is he going to do? i think we're getting pretty good insight today or yesterday. he's saying he's going to talk to her, but she's still getting committee assignments. this is just going to be a really terrible situation for republicans when they should be on the record, very much condemning these sorts of comments. and yet we're seeing them sort of place her on a committee. and it's very clearly problematic. >> chairman, we only have a few seconds. the republica

and what did jack think of bobby's work for the mccarthy committee? seeing that work as a political strategist as a campaign manager it looks like lodge will lose at least not well positioned and right on track and how important bobby is as a manager as a shrewd and ruthless operative. when he see bobby as a potential for he's very devoted to his brother and then to become much closer. and then deeply admired his brother. and then he himself should run for office. and then early on he was very much inclined to let bobby do what he should do and it was a good career move and i think as mccarthy started to do more and more outrageous things it became a problem but then as he was employed to be very close to joe mccarthy that creates more problems for jack politically this is a very close knit family they scream and yell at each other with any particular anger on jack's part to continue that loyalty. >> let's and with this question i sense the majority of jfk was never vocalized or discussed by him. searle jfk the real man has ideas that we will probably

mccarthy said he would have conversations with her. we'll see how she responds. at the moment she's on the republican team. >> but she's also going to be a member of the education committee, which is outrageous, given her -- this is not something she said 10, 15 or 20 years ago. this was two years ago. >> reporter: yeah, two years ago before she became a member of congress. on multiple posts raising the suspicion about the parkland massacre, a horrific massacre in florida, killing 17 people. of course, it was not a false flag. it was not a lie. it was not a conspiracy. it actually happened, which is why it has prompted so much outrage. the republican leader says he will talk to her. we'll see what he actually says. >> if they get rid of her from that committee, maybe from congress all together. manu, thank you very much. >>> let's get some insight from our chief political analyst, gloria borger. gloria, how far does this lecture from kevin mccarthy probably go to this congresswoman? >> it's a lecture that i think they've probably expected, because he said, you kn

two years which would then likely make mccarthy the house majority leader.arthy retweeted this video from his chat with the miami mayor which spent time regard entrepreneurialism, leadership and bringing more jobs to the city. this week in washington mccarthy has been hammering his gop colleagues to get unified, stop spatting with each other and stop fighting over policy and politics. we'll see how that goes there, lou. back to you. lou: quite a statement coming from a man who took on the leader of the republican party and did so without so much as batting an eye and now is bleed plead -- pleading for forgiveness. phil keating, thanks. appreciate it. make no mistake, kevin mccarthy was taken to the wood shed today in one form or the other, and this may be the beginning -- we can all hope -- of big changes in the republican party. congressman matt gaetz is a change agent for the republican party, and he spoke just moments ago at the wyoming state capitol in cheyenne where he is campaigning against house republican conference chair liz cheney and the rest of t

so, are republicans pressuring mccarthy at all ahead of his meeting with greene? >> there are some, fred, who are speaking out publicly and there are some also speaking quietly, that they find this absolutely appalling. but what she is facing here is largely a democratic call, either for censure, for some sort of punishment to be removed from her committees, or be expelled from congress all together. that not likely requiring two-thirds majority in the house. she is, however, going to be meeting with leader mccarthy later, next week, and they will talk about her views. but it is very clear, fred, that she is feeling emboldened. she is not taking her cues or any sway whatsoever from the criticism she's getting from the democratic side, nor from her republican colleagues. she said in a tweet here, and it was really a twitter storm this morning, i had a great call with my all time favorite potus, president trump, i'm so grateful for his support and more importantly the people of the country are absolutely 100% loyal to him because he's 100% loyal to the people and am

kevin mccarthy at mar-a-lago with donald trump.pokesman said, trump has agreed to work with mccarthy in the form. a statement on helping the republican party to become a majority in the house. and in true trumpian fashion, the statement went on to say this, and ask yourself who this sounds like. quote, president trump's popularity has never been stronger than it is today. his endorsement means any endorsement at any time. with that, let's bring in our lead-off guest starting with carl. few people know washington and the hill better than karl. he's a 30-year veteran journalist. he happens to be the correspondent for the times. our senior white house reporter at nbc news digital, and an infectious disease physician. the medical director of the special path general unit. she worked with the w.h.o. has now rejoined under the new administration. let's start with you and your beat. and specifically the elections having consequences rule that was in effect today. both of these executive actions, executive orders that the president signed

this is gina mccarthy. i just want to first thank you for reminding us, and you'll need to do that every single day. because i spent some time with the mayor of pittsburgh. his idea of the ohio river valley working together to build the manufacturing base is extraordinary. i just want you to know that i firmly believe that if we can invest in opportunities like that, we will win the heart of middle america. and if we fail to win the hearts of medical america we will lose. i do not want to argue about climate change. it's a done deal to argue about. i just want to talk about how we build the future for everybody where we can all be part of it. and so it's got to be about jobs. it is got to be about health issues. it's got to be about telling people that they don't need to wait for somebody else to do this work. we can think of of the opportunities that clean energy in these types of adaptive strategies provide in everybody can benefit. this is going to be full of hope. people have been paying long enough. we
