just last week, liz cheney, a former deputy to mccarthy, told abc news mccarthy has no business beinge to the presidency. >> my views about kevin mccarthy are very clear. the speaker of the house is the second in line for the presidency. it requires somebody who understands and recognizes their duty, their oath, their obligation, and he's been completely unfaithful to the constitution. demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the significance and the importance of the role of speaker, so i don't believe he should be speaker of the house. >> savage. stay with us. after the break, to find out why she just might be right. finding the perfect project manager isn't easy. but, at upwork, we found him. he's in adelaide between his daily lunch delivery and an 8:15 call with san francisco. and you can find him, and millions of other talented pros, right now on upwork.com i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance talented pros, right now through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. wha

what's happened people like kevin mccarthy, kevin mccarthy bears 90% of the weight of donald trump's return. he is a failed leader who has absolutely no -- nothing more than his own power in his mind. he resurrected donald trump. i got to tell you, if he's ever around a mirror, i can't imagine that's easy to look at him unless he's just that cold and calculated. >> but you were an ally -- kevin mccarthy was an ally of yours when he came into office. you were one of his proteges. did you not see that then that he was naked after power or do you think something changed? >> well, i guess in hindsight you can see that. you know, i knew he was a very good politician, and he is. he just goes with the wind. he goes where it's going to take him to higher power. he knows everybody's name. he knows something about you. and i knew that there was a lot of politicianiva about that. at the time we didn't have donald trump. when he came and you start seeing people, not just about differences of opinion. we need differences of opinions in this country. but it's about swallowing authoritarian moves,

but you know what happened with kevin mccarthy? right that's a fairly abc, i can be maybe to the next speaker the house, and kevin mccarthy to stay in power. but what about members of your own family? i ask you that not to be critical of members of your own family, but i think they are representative of a lot of republicans in the country who don't hold elected office and are enthralled with donald trump at our voting against liz cheney who otherwise is everything you could want from a conservative republican? . . the pastors, many pastors in this country are failing their congregation. not even just by pushing kind of trumpism from the pulpit, but even refusing to talk about how bad it is, how corrosive it is. you have people today that literally, i think in their hearts they might not say, but they equate donald trump with the person of jesus christ. to, them if you even come out against this amazing man donald trump, which obviously is quite flawed, you are coming out against jesus, against their christian values. and when you g

but you know what happened with kevin mccarthy?s a fairly abc, i can be maybe to the next speaker the house, and kevin mccarthy to stay in power. but what about members of your own family? i ask you that not to be critical of members of your own family, but i think they are representative of a lot of republicans in the country who don't hold elected office and are and throttled with donald trump at our voting against liz cheney who otherwise is everything you could want from a conservative republican? >> i think it's an important thing to talk about. first off, i've come to believe over the last year that people, more than even fearing death were such a tribalistic people, they fear being people kicked out of their tribe. because you accept anything, because now republicanism and conservatism and trumpism becomes your identity. so you are going to stay. look, my family, they are my dad's cousin's, i'm going to say this as a christian myself. the pastors, many pastors in this country are failing their congregation. not even just by

mccarthy that he is seen enough. one of the things that none of us has seen is the warrant an application to the court. it's very important to remember this was not a break-in, this was not a raid, this was not the attorney general of the united states deciding willy-nilly on his own that he was going to do the search. a court had to approve the search here based on as you point out lawrence evidence. the evidence had to show that there was probable cause of a crime. that is the way our judicial system works, and that is what happened here. i think the thing that i found the most remarkable and i think it's really worth people really taking a step back is this does mean the attorney general of the united states did not trust the former president to simply produce the documents voluntarily pursuant to a subpoena. and it was necessary to go via search warrant. normally, you think that if you order a subpoena to any reputable person they will produce documents. when you issue and obtain a search warrant, it is because y

he hated mccarthy, despised mccarthy.mccarthy hadn't really just become powerful person he was, he became a destructive person. his attack on general marshall was extraordinary. i quote some of it in the book, and people remember just a couple of lines. it was pretty insane, some of the things he said. the idea that marshall was at the root of everything, the loss of china... it's extraordinary and crazy. i don't know whether mccarthy -- there's a number of books about mccarthy, too. and i think richard revere said, he wrote the line that he saw anti communism as a sort of a great oil, it came up a gusher and he went for it. i think he but after a while, he began to truly believe this stuff. he was very popular with the journalists because he was great copy. but then it became more serious. he was the villain of herb block cartoons. and then he began to chart a path to his own destruction under eisenhower. >> i sort of brought up herbert hoover. truman certainly had an effect on herbert hoover by bringing him to the oval

they can't drive anywhere because gas is so [bleep expensive. [ laughter ] but mccarthy's oppositione investigation is also self-interested since he was personally subpoenaed by the committee and he told fox that he responded to that subpoena with a bunch of questions. >> did you receive a subpoena from the january 6th committee, and if so, how did you respond >> i did receive a subpoena and i requested, i asked for information, 11 pages. i sent a letter to this committee. i sent a letter to this committee a year ago when they asked to talk to me. and they never responded >> seth: probably because your questions were super dumb. i mean, i'm just guessing. [ light laughter ] but i'm pretty confident that they were super dumb it's like when you invite your friends to a party and most people just rsvp but then one guy writes back, will there be a deejay and if not, can i bring my turntable? [ laughter ] also, does your house have european outlets or should i bring converters [ laughter ] also, you're obviously entitled to ask whatever questions you want, but ultimately it's a subpoena y

let mccarthy have it. i mean mccarthy gave his famous first speech and in wheeling in 1950 and truman truman actually was one press conference when truman said that mccarthy mccarthy is the he's the best friend the kremlin has and then he actually those were the days when when presidents could take it back. there was they had to get you had to get permission to be quoted directly and they went to charlie ross his press secretary. he said can we use that in truman modified it somewhere but he was he heated because he despise the car because he because they just hadn't really begun become the powerful person. he was he become the destructive person that he was he his attack on on general marshall was was extraordinary. in fact, in fact, i i a quote some of it in the book and it's just people just people just people just people remember just a couple of lines, but it was pretty insane. i mean some of the things he said, i mean the idea that marshall is it the root of of everything lost china they yeah, they c

it didn't occur to john mccarthy that he might be next. it seemed like a nearer for this hotel for lebanon, for the foreign journalists working there where it was coming to an end. it was closing in around, around me or, but also it felt as if the hotel was sort of closing down to mccarthy was then ordered by his w t. n boss is in london to leave a route immediately. on the 17th of april, 1986. he checked out the commodore and headed for the airport, but within minutes armed men intercepted his com, grabbed him and took him away. john mccarthy would be the last foreign journalists to stay at the commodore. so it's extraordinary. i started off what that morning in april election, 86 leaving this grow the ground. if dilapidated street at the commodore hotel and the next room i was in, was underground in a tiny, filthy, dirty prison cell, basically, a as a hostage. and i was to remain a hostage for the next 5 and a quarter years. 9 months after mccarthy's abduction, on the 17th of january, 1987 hostage negotiator terri weight was also kidnapp

you saw the contrast with her and mccarthy. was willing to say the truth, when mccarthy chose the lie, because that's how he would keep power. the willingness to speak truth is heroic, and because you are willing to give up power, you are willing to give up the prestige, willing to be alienated from your friends, your constituents, your donors, your allies, she paid a tremendous price about that. i'm really glad you're playing some of these sound bites from the ted cruzes and lind did i grahams. they all know. they know what donald trump has done. they know the threat he poses to the country, but when will it came right down to it, when they had to choose between power and their party and the country, they threw the country under the bus. liz cheney was unwilling to do that. >>> well, i take your point. i think a lot of people agree with you. i would say folks like liz cheney and others are losing their donors and their positions. there are republican policies that caused people to lose their lives. twitter always agrees with y

most of the party is probably aware kevin mccarthy is. proud of her for fighting. >> alex wagner premiered last night with her new show. she had adam kinzinger, the other republican, the other anti-trump republican on the committee, who is retiring rather than fighting. listen to what he had to say about trump's die hard supporters, including members of his own family. >> you have people today that literally, i think in their heart they may not say it, but they equate donald trump with jesus christ. if you come out against this amazing man, donald trump -- quite flawed -- you are coming out against jesus, against their christian values. when you go after their religion, that violates the depth of who they are. i have been kicked out of my tribe. that's okay. >> a remarkable interview. phil, our country so divided that liz cheney in wyoming, which was cheney country, couldn't even have a public rally last night. she can't go out without facing threats. what does that say about us? >> it's a deeply divided country. these are scary and dange

mccarthy put a phone call to mr. sue pinots desk line and it was connected to the president, is that correct? were you involved in transferring that call? >> yes. >> where was the president at the time that he took that call? >> he was in the dining room. >> would you personally reach out to the president for more support? >> i already talked to the president, i called him. i said we -- i think we need to make a statement, make sure we can calm individuals down. >> did mr. mccarthy indicate that he had been in touch with president trump? >> he indicated that he had some conversation i don't recall if it was with the president or someone at the white house. he expressed frustration that they were not taking the circumstance as seriously as they should at that moment. >> i asked the republican leader, he got through to president trump and he said, you need to get on tv, you need to get on twitter, and call these people off. the president said to him, these are my people -- these aren't my people, these are antifa. they

[cheers and applause] i look forward to kevin mccarthy being that speaker. wouldn't it be a wonderful thing, when the president of the united states says that afghanistan was a great withdrawal -- wouldn't it be wonderful to have the republican speaker of the house stand up and say, when we lose 13 american soldiers and leave thousands of americans stranded behind, that is not a good thing? what it's -- won't quote it to be a wonderful thing when you hear someone from the biden administration say that the southern border is closed? won't it be wonderful to hear a speaker of the house say, we know the southern border is enclosed and frankly, two million crossings are 2 million too many? i want that kind of a speaker. [applause] when the administration says that information is somehow good for the poor -- someone said it, wouldn't it be wonderful to have the speaker of the house along with the republican majority say that 9.1% inflation is a devastating -- is devastating every day south carolinians, and it is tragic and unnecessary, and that government spendin

you mentioned about kevin mccarthy.something else. urging donald trump soon, maybe even today, to declare his candidacy for president. we have been talking about that a lot on this show, how most republicans have not -- don't want him to do that any time soon. they think he will drown out the midterms, a distraction and hurt their chances. those closest to the president have believed it's not just one thing that he is a former president, but ifs a candidate again and a favorite to be the 2024 gop nominee, that might make prosecution harder, political. watch for growing cries there, more republicans trying to urge him to do so, to further muck up the proceedings. >> what a stupid move that would be. >> it could happen. >> obviously, merrick garland and the doj is holding information that republicans don't know about. they can go and spout off. they understand that donald trump is corrupt. they understand he has no respect for the rule of law. they saw what happened on january 6th. they heard him try to pressure his attor

kevin mccarthy attacked democrats and president biden's record. here is what he said. >> answer me this question. is america better off today than they were two years ago? is the price of gasoline lower? it is? the price of gasoline is lower today than it was two years ago. i guess you believe in inflation zero as well. i'm not so sure about your math. are the car prices lower than it was two years ago? are your food prices? i would love an actual debate, right here. why don't we have that? because the american people are having a challenge. one of the most successful businesses in america is walmart. when walmart wants to look at where the economy is in america, they do not go higher. you know what they do? check the data and what they buy. for those who answered yes, you should study it as well. you look at hamburger buns, hot buns, holy and white bread. you know what? if they hamburger sales go down and the whole-wheat sales go down, but the white bread style sales go up, you are an economic crisis because people no longer can make the decision

this is a suite from kevin mccarthy about the events of the last week or so. he writes i have watch the department of justice region intolerable state of weaponization, when we take back the house, we will follow the facts and leave no stone unturned. attorney general garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar. if the house falls back in republican hands, what do you see happening in light of tweets like this, the management of the house under republican hands? guest: they will launch lots of investigations. they will launch an investigation into hunter biden, probably make good on these threats -- kevin mccarthy's position there is absurd. the responsible thing to do is to say, we don't know. we don't know yet. let's wait and see. the fbi took those documents and like i said before, we have so little information right now about why and what is going on, but also again, these are the people who wanted to lock up hillary clinton for mishandling classified documents. trump has stolen and taken classified documents, that the government was saying gi

so where you guys are saying is so will mccarthy.ook, i think that the parties are being purified and that as the the election cycles roll by the house and senate are are more and more dug in their ideological or at least they're partisan trenches and you can just look at the senate turnover who's replacing republicans senators or for that matter who's replacing democratics and all oftentimes. it's republicans senators, and i think it speaks to this and by the way in both parties to them, i think it's possible that in the next few weeks. you could have two of the most conservative house democrats lose their primaries and be replaced by much more progressive house lawmakers. yeah, we're going to have a major polar. so one of the interesting things in your book is what nancy pelosi's private. observations of her own caucus i think she said you couldn't give me a billion dollars to be speaker again, which does raise the question about how long she'll remain in congress. i thought it doesn't matter. yeah, the question we don't know is wh

that is hurting them a lot more than what mccarthy and his steamboats to achieve short term.ly: what do you think of this pivot away from hardware to offering premium classes? how much could that help? >> that is helping, but understand that is opening up their user base to people who are extremely price-sensitive. if you are not willing to buy a $2000 bike, it probably you could rent it for a few months for a hundred dollars and see how things go. after three to four months, you could buy it or commit to pay a hundred dollars a month. there is a certain cohort of users who may be willing to try that out. there needs to be a -- directional logistics macro they need to set out. they need to have -- forces. it is a good experiment so far, but that is -- an experiment. it is still early and those experiment, -- a lot of those. as i said, the broad shift, the shift mccarthy talks about in the letter is very slow. emily:. lots to follow. mk and partners managing director. thanks for stopping by. coming, amazon takes a big step poster to its goal of net zero 2040. we will tell you

kevin mccarthy could look at fewer than that.races you'll get some of the type of candidates you talked about of people playing the role of being wild trump supportershageman, never trumper and pledged allegiance there. senate a different story. some candidates like herschel walker and dr. oz and j.d. vance in ohio giving mitch mcconnell a little bit of heart burn here. >> more than a little. i think mitch mcconnell is going darn it, donald trump got me again. i'm not going to be majority leader. that's all he wanted to do. a lot of people probably think that's why he stayed around for the 2022 elections. it was -- at the time it looked very promising for republicans but once again, thanks to donald trump you do not see principled republicans running for office. instead, you see, you know, people that can win primaries with his backing, sure. but they're not going to be able to take that -- it doesn't look like they'll be able to take back the senate and the biggest problem for republicans is that there are no -- there are very f

mccarthy called me with this information. i the call and he sounded rushed -- i answered the call, and he sounded rushed and angry at me, i was confused, because i did not know what the president had just said. he then explained, the president just that he is marching to the capitol, you told me this whole week that you are not coming up here, why would you lie to me? i said, i wasn't lying to you, sir, we are not going to the capitol. and he said, he just set it on stage, cassidy, figure it out, do not come up here. i said, i will assure you we are noo the capitol, we have already made that decision. he pressed a little bit more, believing me, but frustrated that the president had said that. and we entered the phone conversation after that. i called tony to reconfirm that we were not going to the capitol, which was also in our text messages. i sent esther mccarthy another text, -- i sent to mr. mccarthy another text with the affirmative that we were not going up to the capitol and he did not respond after that. >> we underst

politically it's easier for mccarthy to be what he perceives as the center of gravity than it is for him to push the conferencem. to a more advantageous long-term position in the short term. which would create clinicalpa challenges for him. in his case it was pretty path to mar-a-lago. >> he said hee was just in the neighborhood. he just happened to stop in at the compound of the former president. >> what it does have its implications for the future because it's very likely when you think about those who are leaving and you look at the results for example in west virginia in this primary last week when two incumbents went up against each other and one of them lost and infrastructure. if the caucus is going to be more polarized and more ferocious than it is right now. what you guys are saying is so will mccarthy. >> i think parties are being purified t in the election cycls world by the house and the senate are more and more dug in their partisan trenches. you can just look at the senate and whose replacing republican senators. and whose replacing democratic senators oftentimes. i thi

kevin mccarthy calling for reforms. really? how do you perform this? the fbi director on august 4th. >> do you agree that the allegation of secret collusion between president trump and russia was a hoax? yes or no? >> i don't think that's the terminology i would use. i think there's a lot written on the subject both in special counsel's report and inspector general's report, so that is not a term i would use. >> okay. do you agree the hunter biden laptop was not russia disinformation? >> now you are asking about an ongoing investigation that i expect our folks to pursue aggressively, and i just can't comment on that. >> and you possess the laptop, right? >> again, i can't discuss an ongoing investigation. >> will: many people like to point out that christopher wray was appointed by trump. christopher wray is a member of permanent washington who doesn't like to discuss anything, including why his agents concocted a plan to kidnap the governor of michigan or how many fbi agents were there on januar. they are permanent fixtures in washington, as is your n

some expect even a single digit pickup, which could mean tight margins for kevin mccarthy.blican, larry hogan said this weekend, it might not be a wave we see in november but potentially just a ripple. >> we could blow it by nominating unelectable people and that's what's happening across the country and why the wave is going to be more of a ripple rather than a tidal wave. why mitch mcconnell is saying we may win the senate. why we were hoping to pick up seats in governor's races and now we're not. it's why the margin in the house is so much smaller. >> and if it's a smaller margin in the house, that could be problematic, potentially for kevin mccarthy, because of the fact that he needs 218 votes to get the speaker's gavel and already a handful of republicans are expected to vote against him, and also passing an agenda would be increasingly difficult in a tight republican majority. there is still time, though, things can still change. but at the moment, expectations changing and a narrower majority in the house seems increasingly likely. >> manu raju, stay with us because

this perfectly falls in line with how mccarthy is conducting himself. to become speaker and with donald trump's support right now as long as he stays in trump's good graces, he's on the virg erge o doing that. >> sara, we should acknowledge in wyoming where you are ahead of the tough primary and unlike others in the party that have gone back and forth in terms of their response to some of the former president's actions, she's remained steadfast. she supported his impeachment and obviously sits on the january -- co-chairs the january 6th committee investigation. what is the response from republican voters there on the ground that you're hearing? >> yeah, i mean, liz cheney is unequivocal she believes donald trump's behavior is unamerican, unconstitutional and not an argument sitting well with republicans in wyoming. the polling is just highly unfavorable for liz cheney. i would take a huge crossover for democrats and independents to show up and order for her to win the race. there might not be enough of that in the state. ha hagueman is looking big. she'

mccarthy says wyoming will be part of a g.o.p. >> will you be speaker in january. >> i believe so. we will win the majority and i will be speaker, yeah. >> mccarthy says the house g.o.p. conference welcomes those who embrace a limited federal government and he says that cheney is just too focused on one person. the former president, donald trump. and not enough on her district. cheney responded that mccarthy's, quote word salad is just difficult to understand. we now head to jonathan hunt in alaska who is covering senator lisa a murkowski and her trump-backed opponent. >> be with the winning team. winning for the right reasons for alaska. >> senator lisa murkowski knows she has a fight on her hands. kelly she baca running significantly to the right of the more moderate murkowski is pushing hard with the enthusiastic backing of former president trump. >> kelly, please come up. >> ever since senator murkowski voted for his impeachment, trump has made it part of his personal political mission to see the senator from alaska defeated.

and now, if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news after house minority leader kevin mccarthyd reports that he had planned to ask former president trump to resign in the wake of the capitol attack, "the new york times" released audio of mccarthy telling colleagues he was going to talk to trump about stepping down all right, well, i'm sure he wouldn't lie it was probably just a misunderstanding let's hear it. >> the only discussion i did have with him is that i think this will pass and it would be my recommendation he should resign. >> seth: all right, well, that's pretty damning [ laughter ] that'd be like the "encanto" family saying "we always talk about bruno. [ laughter ] after new audio revealed that house minority leader kevin mccarthy was planning to urge former president trump to resign after the capitol attack, trump said that he thinks it was "a big compliment. so we should just add "resign" to the list of the words he doesn't know [ laughter ] "mr. president, you need to resign." "thank you, i have been working out. [ laughter ] politico published photographs on frid

and on friday, republican leader kevin mccarthy was still trying to stop it. we see him speaking on the house floor and post ronald reagan's famous question for that 1980 president presidential election reagan won over jimmy carter, questioning what democrats have accomplished. >> they continue to raise trillions after trillions, i know everybody warns them what they do is wrong, they don't care. they just want to double down to the mistakes they've already made. answer me this question -- is america better off today than they were two years ago? >> now that is a classic opposition party question. opposition parties, midterm elections and opposition parties across the world, they're running against the party of power and they want to generally turn elections into referendums on the party in power. but when i saw that clip, what was striking about kevin mccarthy asking it last week is that, i don't think he or his speech writer really thought it through. because the answer is pretty obviously yes, yeah, yup. we are better off than we were two years ago. do you

it had been planned for awhile, but takes on added significance given mccarthy's the threat. we don't know exactly who is invited, but committee members include solg some of the most aggressive defenders. marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, bottom line, it's clear. 24 hours after the fbi first entered mar-a-lago the battle lines are being drawn with far-reaching consequences. the question now, what will this reveal about america's institutions and how well they survive what's coming next? we will also get very quickly to the heart of the republican party. how many will embrace their traditional law and order roots and how many others will continue to pledge loyalty to donald trump, whatever the cost. so we have a lot to discuss. vaughn hilliard is at marla ga. ali vitali is on capitol hill. josh dots sit is reporter for "the washington post" and charlie sykes is editor at large. thank you for being here on such an important day. we don't know the details of the search warrant. it would have to be meticulous. a judge would have had to have sign off. but to a lot of these repub

barry mccarthy has made it very clear since taking the reins at peloton, achieving profitability and the position where it is making money and has free cash flow is a top priority for him today the easier question to ask is where is peloton not making cuts like you said, about 800 jobs are being removed. the company is going to aggressively close its retail stores it has about 86 of them today. it's also getting out of last mile logistics on the flip side, it's raising the price of its bike plus and treadmill machine, but certainly a lot of changes all with that goal of getting peloton back to making money. >> is there any evidence that that is happening, lauren, that mccarthy is succeeding in turning this around? >> definitely. in this memo to employees today, mccarthy did say that the company has seen progress since it announced that sweeping overhaul back in february. they, for example, recently started a new subscription plan where rather than paying full price up front for a bike or bike plus, you can now rent that equipment and you can pay a monthly fee. that includes both your

i don't pity kevin mccarthy but i don't envy him either. i don't think this is necessarily a path to victory in november. i don't think these kinds of candidates help. i think they'll probably still win but kevin mccarthy has no handle on this. he's just hoping he'll be able to get over the line and have a speaker's job title and dine out on it for the rest of his life no matter how ugly it gets. >> what about what cheney said that it's likely to take several election cycles to fix the problems, the brokenness of the gop? how do you survive through the next several election cycles if you're somebody who sees things clearly? >> yeah, she might not. i will say she is playing a much longer game than someone whose career ended last night. there is no question she's going to maximize the end of her term, certainly through the january 6th committee and also, you know, i think she can get some real traction in the presidential campaign. probably not something she could win but is certainly i think shaping up as one of the most fascinating figures.

kevin mccarthy, you have to say an outrageous attack on merrick garland.ce yourself when we take over. clear your calendar, we will investigate you. merrick garland is the most careful, judicious to a fault some would say attorney general in this case. >> it's -- your point about them not being able to comment is particularly true in a case involving national security and classified documents and potential counterintelligence issues. they are hamstrung. it's worth pointing out the context here as these republicans make these charges. the fbi was reeling from the fallout of the trump russia investigation where an fbi lawyer was prosecuted and had to admit to a felony and his career was over. other people were fired. there was controversy. there was an inspector general report. they are super careful when it comes to these matters at this point. christopher wray says we are trying to do the right thing in the right way. that sounds like boy scout talk, but people take it to heart. they saw what could happen if they weren't careful. we will see in the end wha
