>> many people are asking, who is mike johnson? >> who is mike johnson exactly?ins said "i was going to google him this morning." >> after susan collins on millions upon millions of images of dicks, she found this. >> people are curious, what does mike johnson think about any issue under the sun? i say, go pick up a bible off your shelf and read it. that is my worldview. that is what i believe. >> jesus christ. the g.o.p. had found a man so bland he will put you to sleep, but so insane, he might murder you in it. this is the "the daily show" ography of mike johnson. crazy boring. long before america knew mike johnson as in a life man with a face and hair and body po heartbeats away from the presidency, he was just a boy who had a smaller face and hair and body parts, growing up in louisiana. in 1984, when johnson was 12, his fireman father narrowly survived an explosion. later, johnson recalled, "all i ever aspired to be was a fireman." but his parents would not let us be firemen after that. it was a life-changing moment. a person could just forbid other people f

mike johnson sees it as public. will the nation get surrender judgment on his view of the world. >> nina, we have a tamed version of the evangelical in mike pence. but he was a whole bunch of won plump with his attempts to become the next president of the united states. we also see that in support of abortion rights have seen some massive winds lately in red leading states. republicans are just completely tone-deaf when it comes to what the voting public really wants, right? >> absolutely. this is consistent on a number of different issues guns to voting rights, et cetera, that the republican conference is not in line with the american public. these views are extreme. they are completely out of step with the american people. as the former congressman just mentioned, they will have that opportunity to elect a new congress next year. just to rectify and change some of the direction of congress, currently. >> david, speaker johnson deciding to release thousands of hours of january 6th footage which, he says, i am payin

republicans do see concerns like that are overblown. >> i do i think people are willing to give mike johnson a chance these problems are not created by him, it's part of our republican party for years going past but i think mike deserves a chance to govern, to lay his vision out and i think members are willing to give them some runway as we headm into next year. >> this does not include emergency spending for ukraine in israel, where are you on those two issues. >> i think we get back after the thanksgiving break the senate will sent us a bill to address a number of things the southern border which needs to be addressed, funding for israel which i supported the past including $14.5 billion that was offset. working address funding for ukraine and fundingfu for taiwai think all of those things we need to have a conversation to debate about. when it comes to ukraine i think there is a collective support fort making sure that putin dos not win in ukraine. i think will have a serious conversation about how taxpayer money can be spent and where it should be spent about transparency and what victor

house republicans are unified and hitting the ground running after leadership of speaker mike johnson. we are proud to the stand with him on this leadership team. house republicans overwhelmingly passed our resolution showing our unequivocal support for israel on the house floor and speaker johnson and majority leader scalise were praised for strong statements over the weekend at the republican jewish coalition in nevada. let us be clear, house republicans will always standby our precious ally israel and we will speak loudly and clearly when it comes to standing against the heinous rise in anti-semitism the both at home and abroad. we proudly stand with israel instead of joe biden's army of irs agents and shame on joe biden for threatening to veto this critical israel aid package. in addition, house republicans passed multiple conservative appropriations bills in less than one week and we are working to bring more bills to the floor in the coming days, so many of the press said it couldn't be done and yet house republicans continue to deliver and i also want today take a moment the hi

mike johnson has been pretty quiet, because mike johnson is following kevin mccarthy's path, which is have a slim majority, and i don't know what to do or now publicly. mike johnson needs a call on your sentence to resign and lead the effort to expel him, if he does not. >> he did put out a statement today, and it was not as strong as the advice. david jolly just gave. okay, basil, let's talk about the funding fight. and what happens when the next ethan's come in just a couple of months? we will not be in a much different position. >> the different position will be in it will probably not run up against -- i think that had a lot to do with the decision disco round. however, we will be in the middle of a presidential race, or at least in the early days of our model to a presidential election. i imagine that the republican party is not going to settle yet again with these questions about funding government, but they certainly use it as a campaign question. democrats again will go back to be able to talk to voters about, the responsible governance that they have been able to practice, bu

mike johnson does, as well. the difference is kevin's at the end of his runway in mike's at the beginning of his. i think there is a certain unity to the conference. i think a lot of people, even on the hard right, know that they will have to accept some concessions and give some concessions. johnson will probably leave. some of the dynamic i'm looking for is not israel, i think that will get passed. we are maybe there is a few shutdowns. republicans won't care. it is ukraine. there is not enough folks, the majority of the majority, i'm not sure where those numbers are in the republican party. there is such a hard split on ukraine that without border security, without a strong maga concession, what happens if mike johnson does have to sign off on the package with jeffries and schumer and president biden? that runway is short. i think he has some. probably under the next election. >> stay with us. we are going to continue the conversation with brandon, jennifer, and david after a quick break. break. closer to ico

but in mike johnson's first week as speaker he's moving bill after bill. he has shown a commitment and sincerity in this process that was totally absent under kevin mccarthy and the distinction is easily explainable when you look at the amount of time he just had. i think micah johnson deserves the opportunity to have some runway, to execute decision. i'm not going to join in any vision that is a continuing resolution of current policies and current spending levels, but i don't think it warrants an ouster unless that is a theory of governments that pre dominates over some -- so former speaker mccarthy, just over the weekend he spoke to our colleague manu raju and he said that he believed that he would throw the country away, those are his words in order to protect yourself. and, that your chief concern is about shutting down an ethics committee investigation into you. do you have a response to that? >> i watched manu's discussion with the former speaker. it seemed more like a therapy session than an interview. i don't know if manu is going to be spending a

and i guess the point, charlie, mike johnson did.we are finding out, you know, as we learn more about him, because when he won a nomination, he was an unknown name to most people, to most our viewers, to most americans, he wasn't a guy to who anybody knew. it turns out he's got deep connections to the right wing of his party. there are a little bit troublesome, the moderate or having problems with this in the beginning. you and i had this conversation several times, charlie, the moderates are the ones who are stuck again. they're also the ones who have some leverage in this. what should they do in your opinion? >> among the more pragmatic numbers of the conference, i would say, look, let's scrap that two step approach. let's just do one continuing resolution and then finish the appropriations bills. and i would recommend doing it, you know, by the middle of december, finishing it all by them. it's not crazy to take it out to january 9th but i would rather get it done before the holidays. you need that deadline pressure to make it hap

mike johnson doesn't know what he's doing. kevin mccarthy at least knew what the basics of the job, right? i don't think mike johnson knows the basics of the job. why do they go back to the original budget agreement with biden? and the second thought is it looks like to me they are granted toe shut the government debt and teach the republicans a lesson can because this woman from i don't know where she's from, the west. >> host: tennessee. >> caller: tennessee, i'm sorry. the south. so i don't know if it would come when the shut the government down, the social security affected? is medicaid affected? is medicareffs affected? are workers in washington, d.c. affected? is a military affected? because republicans can post every time they don't like exactly what in the budget. enter me itan it says okay we he to learn, we learn the lesson what happens when the government shuts down and what other problems? i i hate to admit that. i hate to have to inflict this needless, dysfunction on washington and on the government programs and g

but it didn't alarm mike johnson.lly bad law ma. they've made a mess of jurisprudence in our country. some of that what needs to be clean up. what justice thomas is calling for is not radical. it's the opposite. we finally have a majority of originalists. >> that's not all. johnson claims man is inherently evil and the radical left is god less. take a listen. >> one of the primary purposes of the law is to restrain evil. we have to acknowledge man is evil and needs to be restrained. that's the problem with the radical left. they don't acknowledge a god. >> i guess that's why he has accountability partners. the n audio builds on revelations, including comparisons of the environmentalists as evil and his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. republicans failed to vet johnson. the hits keep coming. at some point it may be impossible for the gop to look away. joining me now, molly john fast, the host of the "fast politics" podcast. so good to see you. happy thanksgiving. look, let's start with the following. we just went

understand, mike johnson and kevin mccarthy are in a much different position.in started the speaker in early january. the appropriations bills weren't brought to the floor until late july. we took an august recess. we got back in september and passed a few, and the cr came about because kevin mccarthy wanted an omnibus bill. he delayed the rope appropriati process to have an omnibus bill. mike has inherited this mess and doing his best to get appropriations bills past and working with democrats to keep the floor open. completely different story. >> separately but sort of together, this kidney punch that congressman burchett says he received from kevin mccarthy earlier today, burchett one of the eight in the gop who ousted mccarthy. mccarthy is denying his claim. who do you believe here? >> well, i believe the reporter who was present when tim was pushed or struck by kevin mccarthy. it wasn't just tim's view of what happened. it wasn't just a crowded situation where kevin was pushed into tim. so i think the reporter made the eyewitness account, and i believe tha

caller: i am very excited about mike johnson being voted in.loves america, he loves god, he loves the constitution, he loves freedom, liberty and respect. where america came from and where it is today and the men and women who helped found it. i just wanted to ask you guys one thing. either one of you democrats can answer. are there any republican reporters in washington dc? host: we are not can it classify political parties but you can respond to anything else. guest: i would say there is a conservative media ecosystem in d.c. and also a left-leaning media ecosystem. increasingly voters are choosing to tune into news that reinforces their pre-existing viewpoints. that's one of the reasons why we see this narrowband of truly persuadable voters that could go either way. they are still the ones that determine outcomes. host: in a couple of weeks, virginia will hold elections. is there a sense of bellwether to the -- to what happens in virginia and what could play out in 2024? guest: virginia has high stake races for both chambers of its general a

speaker mike johnson is aiming to release things by tomorrow to put things on the floor by tuesday. as of now we are told that bill text is not finalized, with even some top republicans in the dark about what mike johnson plans to do and some lawmakers growing anxious for him to reveal his hand. some are warning that the honeymoon period for mike johnson, the new speaker, might already be coming to an end. let's listen. >> i think there's a honeymoon period here, i'm not sure how long it lasts, maybe 30 days. the honeymoon might be shorter than we thought. and every time the cr expires, the speaker's putting his head in the lion's mouth. >> reporter: now speaker mike johnson has been wrestling with this decisionmaking. he knows this is likely the most consequential decision he will make as speaker so far. but the problem for him is that his conference is divided. on one hand you have moderates and appropriators pushing for a straightforward clean stopgap bill, but then conservative hard-liners are pushing to extend funding for government agencies in two separate batches. essentially

shop now or anytime at >> house speaker mike johnson held a news conference to outline a strategy for passing a two-step continuing resolution and avoiding a government shutdown. this is about 20 minutes. >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> good morning. earlier this morning i join me of our house colleagues to watch video footage of truly unfathomable brutality committed by the hands of hamas terrorists against israelis. this got wrenching footage of pure evil is a stark reminder that israel is currently fighting not only for the right to exist that for the rights of jewish people everywhere. these horrific images of atrocities are etched into my memory forever. we mourn for the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents and children including babies who were tortured, killed, and some kidnapped by these abhorrent monsters. today, many tens of thousands of people lined up on the national mall in support of israel. house republicans have stood up and rejected this people d time again of hamas terrorists. we passed a bipartisan $14 billion aid package that

i thought is he that different than mike johnson. >> the bible doesn't just inform his world view, itd view. in fact, during his first speech in his new job, johnson suggested that his election as speaker was an act of god. essentially what you would expect from a religious sentimentalist. >> did both of those just happen on tv new house speaker mike johnson facing attacks from the media on his christian faith. the daily beast comparing him to the taliban and mullahs in iran. here is his response. industries are built to take down political leaders like me. i'm not surprised by that i mean it, comes with the territory. it doesn't bother me at all. i just wish they would get to know me. i'm not trying to establish christianity as the national religion or something. that's not what this is about. it's just disgusting. i mean, that is absurd. >> carley: what a sad state of affairs. columnist for the messenger joe concha joins us now. this is the media attempting to take somebody down based solely on their religion. what's your reaction to? >> it's not surprising. it is disgusting. mike j

david jolly, what is mike johnson doing here? tive math is not there for johnson. we can fast forward to the government shutdown or a loss by mike johnson, that will look a lot like kevin mccarthy's passes. what we don't know is, have not johnson handle that moment. when you look kevin mccarthy ultimately would do, is strike a deal with democrats to vote for something in a democratic senate and democratic president would sign. we don't know what mike johnson would do. i would just even his move on israel, more than opening salvo, april be kevin mccarthy would have considered as well. to tie aid to something. some republican priority. the absolutely here is he actually it something that's indefensible. so that is not something that will ever be considered by the senate or signed by the president. what happens in two weeks, we just don't know mike johnson's leadership style at this point. >> eugene, i take david jolly's point about the ability to phosphoric to pour this is all go when, to either a government shutdown or a speaker re

mike johnson got that dream already. he the vehicle for now to the extent that, you know, speaker mccarthy was like, was he separating his skittles to make sure there weren't green ones in them. what is he getting for republicans that they won't just cut him loose in your view? >> power is very intoxicating. congressman swalwell knows this. when you get to washington, a lot of these guys who were back benchers before, now have relevance. in ways that they never experienced before. they have access to power. and cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug. we see this happen every single day with members of congress and elected officials who sell their souls to maintain that power and relevance. just look at, let's say, lindsey graham as an example or ted cruz. you know, these people who are unbelievable hypocrites, they continue -- knowing, they know what they're doing and saying is harmful to the country. they know it's hypocritical of everything they've ever said before. we have it on tape. we have seen them say these thi

, mike johnson.an a week into his te tenure, he is picking a fight with g.o.p. defense hawks over ukraine aid, putting him at loggerheads with mitch mcconnell. everybody knows you dont pick a fight with mitch mcconnell because mitch mcconnell wi will -- [applause] [laughter] [cheers and applause] >> stephen: how long was i out. is it still halloween? okay. we were talking about the new speaker of the house who has made headlines for his extreme anti-lgbtq views, once saying gay marriage was an arbiter of chaos and anarchy. he believes in government with man, woman, and the judiciary. they like to watch and judge. he is not alone in his views. he hosts a podcast with his wife that provides analysis from a christian perspective. why is the latest podcast they recorded episode 69? really? to johnson's and a 69. you are sending mixed messages. kelly is just as weird as her husband. she runs onward christian counseling services, which offensively and outrageously equates being with beastie reality. she be

it is a big test for mike johnson. i think he's so far, still good as far as his ability to keep his conference in line. he's been able to pass bills. keep them together mostly. he's going to -- he's got his work cut out for him. the israel bill, not going to become law the way he proposed it. the other bills that are on the floor today and tomorrow also not going to become law. host: before you leave, i want to show you an ad from the house majority pact which is their job is to get democrats into the house. speaker johnson now becoming the main target for them. i want to show you the latest ad, talk about what it means for politics next year. >> after all the chaos, congressal republicans chose maga extremist mike johnson as speaker of the house. johnson voted to overturn the presidential election and was called the master mind of the january 6 plot. johnson pushed for a national abortion plan, even for victims rape. and called for deep cuts to social security, even raising the retirement age. mike johnson and congre

mike johnson will have to give up the ghost on this, know? >> that's right. that gulf of experience between mcconnell who has been in senate leadership for years let alone all of his years in congress and johnson who is just starting out is pretty interesting. and it does lay bare the split between the old establishment republicans like mcconnell and johnson who comes from this pro trump far right wing of the house but whom mcconnell is very unpopular. at the end of the day, dynamics are clear. what can come out of a democratic senate and will be accepted by a democratic white house is going to be very different from what comes out of a republican house. and perhaps having made an initial stand johnson has built the political capacity to then roll back and take these out of the israel package and it will pass the house and he would have made a political stand that will help him with his own flank as he goes forward. but ultimately he still has to get bills through the house that can pass the senate and be accepted by president biden. that was the same caonund

speaker mike johnson, his wife kelly, thank you for having us. this is a big deal for west virginia. i want you to know i am proud, very proud to be here, this is really special. i appreciate them. they are the lumberjack family west virginia. from the beginning to the end they are world champions and we are proud of them. absolutely for what he's done in harvesting the tree, of those who transported it here, all the work that has gone into it. the four h youth and volunteers who made thousands of ornaments for this. and also for everything from the capitol to the delegation all of us are so proud you are here. for all of you west virginians who have traveled, god bless you and thank you because i know you are as proud as we are being here. for what they have been able to do. the band is led by the band director who played this very ceremony 47 years ago. where is greg. right there. 47 years ago he was there to play in the band this ceremony. the guest of honor ethan you will be hearing from. there was 400 entrance into this contest and ethan was

no criticism to mike johnson.s doing the best he can with the tools he has been granted. >> i can't wait to see the cartoon of mike johnson with the giant elephant on his lap. i mean, it's -- it is true, though. he came out of nowhere and here he is trying to see the republican party right now, because he's the only leader of the republican party that actually has a majority. >> through a completely self-inflicted problem. it's true, and it doesn't seem like anyone is rising up against him, at least that wants that job, because they don't want to be plunged into that particular chaos again. in the process, i mean, he does need -- now need democrats to get this across the line, and that's empowering them. this is a democratic minority that really has been in a driver's seat, unlike most minorities get to, because of what the republicans' inability to get their act together. >> carl, we've seen signals from senate democrats that they will support this plan that mike johnson has, so just to kind of recap, we have the

house speaker mike johnson just rereleased hisis plan.n. dodoes it haveve legs? wewe'll see. >>> today we have seen growing pro palestinian rallies around the world and that included a march outside president biden's home in delaware as people chanted cease fire. kevin, those are some pretty loud and large protests. what kind of reaction are you getting from the white house? >> reporter: yeah. pretty sizable. hundreds of people there outside of president biden's home in delaware. the white house not responding specifically but certainly aware of this growing anger among a certain sector of the american population at how president biden has been handling this conflict. he may not have seen these protesters at first hand here today but he has seen them over the last several weeks, including in illinois. the president was visiting. he's been interrupted twice during speeches by people calling for a cease-fire, and you also see this, growing calls internationally for the president to change course somewhat. the french president emmanuel macron saying that a cease-fir

remember, these are two men, president biden and the new house speaker mike johnson, still getting to know each other in a lot of ways. he was something of an unknown to the white house. they are still developing that working relationship. certainly the white house wasting no time panning his proposal to gep the government open saying in a statement last night, with just days left in before an ex-treek republican shutdown, house republicanses are wasting precious time with an unserious proposal panned by members of both parties. the white house went on to say house republicans need to stop wasting time on their own political divisions, do their jobs and work in a bipartisan way to prevent a shutdown. the white house not mincing any words there. what does remain clear is whether all democrats will oppose this plan. while it is unorthodox in its structure, it does not include some of the deep spending cuts, some of the conservative priorities that democrats so oppose. we did hear last night from a senior senate democratic leadership aide who said it's a good thing this bill did not incl

but again, mike johnson is third in line to be president now.to influence, or exploit people in positions of power. one of the vulnerabilities that is often targeted is, you know, a person's finances. whether they are wealthy, or whether they, you know, need money. those are appealing in, ways. it doesn't mean mike johnson is corrupt. we have not uncovered any evidence of corruption. but it is worth noting, to keep in mind that, hey, he could be a target for something like this. >> roger salman berger, thank you for this excellent reporting. we appreciate it. i want to bring in -- towns in. she picks up coverage right after me. four pm eastern coming up in about 24 minutes time. can i just get your reaction to that? it is perplexing to me, as i sit here and think about it. >> it's strange right? >> why he wouldn't disclose bank accounts, bank information, on his financial disclosures. even if it may mean that it's because he's not hitting the bar for which to disclose them. if he's making 200,000 plus dollars a year, you would think he would. >>

i knew his name was mike johnson that's about it. in a slicker package. >> mr. kinzinger: that's right. >> stephen: did you know him at all before? >> mr. kinzinger: i knew of him but no, not really. he came up asking me to sign on to a lawsuit. it was an amicus brief. to try to get congress on the record. i'm like mike, dude. i'm not going to do this. he kind of scrambles away. >> stephen: what was the pitch? there's got to be a one line sales pitch? >> mr. kinzinger: the pitch was "you want to get on this lawsuit so we can throw the votes in these other states." i'm like, no, i don't want to do that for the interesting thing, kevin mccarthy was not all that lawsuit until the day the names came out and people were upset about it. he put out a statement that said oh, yeah, i was on it. they just left my name off of it. then they added his name after he told liz cheney by the way, he wouldn't go on it because of course -- this is the kind of guy that was speaker of the house for ten month. the new speaker of the house was a guy that w

. >>> plus, the more you learn about speaker mike johnson, the more you realize that behind that mild mannered temperament is an extremist with a history of inflammatory rhetoric on lgbtq issues. and a live report from the israel gaza border after a day of intense bombardment as israeli soldiers encircle gaza city. >> we begin tonight with the second day of testimony from donald trump's adult sons in the $250 million civil fraud trial against donald trump's family and their company. eric trump took the stand today, following his brother don jr., who testified for hours on wednesday and again today. turns out the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, rather, it clings to the tree rather desperately, sounding very much like donald trump himself in their deflections and denials. eric and don testified they had no involvement with documents that a judge has ruled were fraudulently manipulated to inflate the value of their father's business. those major financial statements presented to them in court, what documents? eric said he was not even aware that such documents existed. as for error

does new speaker of the house mike johnson have a bank account? writes daily beast going through, talking about, how much money he has, what he has in retirement what he doesn't have, mike johnson doesn't have retirement savings doesn't own a single stock doesn't have assets less than 5,000 dollars in bank account has 250 to 500,000 dollar mortgage a home equity loan a personal loan what is retirement plan? is he going to lobby? can you explain this to me? this is the hit piece from daily beast. prime example a lot of liberal media so out of touch with america, more than 60%, of all americans cannot afford a 500 dollar emergency expends, they live paycheck to paycheck barely make it by i think great, that mike johnson represents working class earns the republican party, is the party of the working class, being he represents a working class district one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation, you look at the 10 most wealthiest congressional districts in the america, they are all represented by liberal will coastal democrats, republica

more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. >> louisiana congressman mike johnsonew role as the speaker of the house. at leadership position he won, after 22 days, 22-day power struggle. inside the republican caucus. every single republican present voted for johnson. but don't let that fool you into thinking that he represents a compromise between gop moderates and the conservative fringe. in fact, mike johnson maybe the most far-right speaker effort to hold the office. he co authored the bill that would ban abortion, nationally, at just six weeks with no exceptions for ripe or incest. in the past, he worked to shut down abortion clinics in his home state. johnson opposed same-sex marriage on the grounds, it would open the door for people to marry their own pets. and last year, he introduced a national version of the so-called don't say gay legislation. as a lawyer, he wrote briefs and editorials defending laws that criminalized conceptual gate six. johnson on a vote of light -- voted against certifying the 2020 election, he also put an active role in convincing ot

mike johnson hasn't been around as long, and he may be in a little that of a honeymoon phase. particularly in the house freedom caucus, people are giving him a little bit more room to run. but we are seeing some frustrations that are doubling up. before we left, chip roy, republican from texas went on the house floor and challenged his colleague to say give me one thing that we've done that i can run for reelection and that frustration is likely still there. we may be able to avoid some of the biggest fights that we gotten away on with spending, but the other question is who is next? there has to be some speaker in order to get any sort of business done, and it seems like mike johnson just enjoys a little bit more goodwill among the republicans holding caucus then kevin mccarthy did. host: his relationship with the other leaders in congress, what you find most interesting? mcconnell, chuck schumer? what do we know about this relationship? >> not a whole lot. the relationship with mitch mcconnell, the senate minority leader is to me the most interesting part of it. just in raw

i would like to hear mike johnson's statement on this resolution right now. a two-step short-term resolution is an innovation. now questions will not be accepted, as it was before. we have untied this knot. we are not going to vote for the huge ones anymore bills in a package, just before christmas. we have come together to draft our spending bills for two periods: the first package by january 19th and everything else by february 2nd. in the meantime, this will allow us to go through the process of discussing other expenses in good faith. in particular, to discuss real changes to our border policy so that. close our southern border, take it under control , also discuss verification, and this is necessary additional aid to ukraine, close the issue of aid to israel, if the senate does not do this, despite our pleas, in a word agree to all questions about additional appropriations. the new short-term resolution of the already new speaker johnson is to be considered and voted on in the house of representatives in literally a few hours, but here it is worth noting

mike johnson ya se quedÓ con esa posiciÓn y no todo mundo estÁ realmente contento al respecto.monos directamente con la congresista norma torres, quien representa al distrito nÚmero 35 aquÍ de california y justamente, congresista, usted fue uno de las personas mÁs vocales y ahÍ tenemos a mike johnson. >> ahi lo tenemos, desafortunadamente Él no tiene la experiencia para esta posiciÓn, pero despuÉs de tres semanas de seguir tratando de elegir a su lÍder estos republicanos decidieron elegirlo a Él porque Él no lo conocÍa nadie. todos tuvimos que hacer un google por la computadora para ver quÉ tipo de persona es y sabemos que es una persona muy conservativo a que por el momento hoy es el sÉptimo dÍay que Él estÁ en este poder no ha dado nada bueno. reportera: empecemos por decir que ya tan pronto como ahorita ya estÁ hablando de reducir el apoyo a ucrania, tambiÉn a israel y a otros puntos importantes, amarrÁndolo tambiÉn a estas revisiones, auditorÍas de impuesto a compaÑÍas grandes. ¿esto no sorprende, congresista? >> no me sorprende nada de este partido porque ellos estÁn muy c

why mike johnson was there and what they discussed. >>> and elon musk is suing.with us. >>> today kicks off one of the busiest weeks of travel of the year. from alabama to new jersey, a huge line of storms is threatening to disrupt holiday travel. aaa predicts this would be the busiest in over two decades. whitney wild is standing by at o'hare, a hub and stopover for so many people this thanksgiving. what are you seeing? >> reporter: kate, it's very smooth here. the lines seems to be moving quickly. luckily when you compared across the country, o'hare only 16 delays, one cancellation so far. so certainly it could be worse even though the weather system is here, even though it's been raining all morning. we have spoken with several people with the same plain, hurry up and late, leaving lots of time, at least two hours from the time they got to the airport to when the flight leaves, because they were so concerned about crowds. people know this is some of the busiest travel you'll see all year. typically, kate, tuesday, wednesday, sunday around thanksgiving are the

and maga mike johnson's ties to the christian nationalist movement in this country. ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. anytime that you are alone bait looking over your shoulder. that was just one of the threats fbi investigators say an alabama man left on the voice mail of fulton county district attorney fani willis on august 6th. days before she brought charges against donald trump and 18 of his associates for seeking to overturn the 2020 election. and there were many more direct -- willis and fulton county sheriff patrick labonte both were not going to repeat them here. this week, federal prosecutors announced after right hansen, the second is now facing two counts of transmitting and estate threats to injure willis and labonte. not the timing of this is noteworthy, because one day before hansen left his voice mail on august 5th, a tes woman allegedly delivered a death threat to the new chambers of china chutkan presiding over that federal election interference case and washington d. c.. and then on august 4th, before any of the threats were made, the ex presiden

want politics in your church, but if you let church into your politics, you end up with guys like mike johnsonnting the church to young people, and they're gonna say "no thanks, jesus," no matter how fun it is at youth pastor ricky's leviticus karaoke night. one big way johnson wants to slip a little church tongue in your state-hole, taking rights away from gay people. when the supreme court struck down anti-sodomy laws on privacy grounds, johnson wrote, "by closing those bedroom doors, they have opened a pandora's box." now, not to nitpick, mike. but if there's one thing we know about gay men, they're not that interested in pandora's box. [cheering] nothing? nothing? [drumbeat] forget it. johnson is so bible-y, he helped get public funding for an organization called "answers in genesis," which believes the earth is only 6,000 years old, so they could get public funding to build a theme park in kentucky called the ark encounter, a life-size noah's ark museum. don't forget to visit the gift shop where you can pick up these adorable salt-shakers filled with lot's actual wife. now, according to t

mike johnson from the great state of l louisiana. you are gracious to come on. i know this is a busy day, i want to begin if you will, there is bake a -- back and forth in white house press room for the life of me i do not understand difference between a ceasefire and a pause, hear this back and forth, maybe give us a comment. >> as you push the israelis for humanitarian pauses, are they supposed to sit back and let hamas attack them and attack them and attack them? and not fight back? >> we have been crystal clear that israel has a right to defend themselves. >> a pause means they can still shoot back. >> my goodness peter, we give them security systems almost every day, but do we advocate pauses by both sides to be able to get americans out? to be able to get aid in, you bet we do, that does not mean we're calling for a general cease-fire, there is a difference. larry: there is a different, thing yesterday, mr. biden said, in answer to a question that i think that president of the in minneapolis, i think we need a paused, a pause means giving time to get priso

the second johnson , on whom ukraine depends to a certain extent, there was boris johnson, now mike johnsonll, we liked boris better, although the british also somehow disliked him, well, but that’s how it is, that’s history , by the way, can we listen to the direct speech of one of the johnsons? guess from the image who it will be, boris or mike. ukraine is another priority, of course we cannot allow volodymyr. putin to march through europe, and we understand the need to provide assistance to ukraine. i think most of our colleagues in the senate agree that these two things must go together because we owe it to the american people, it is what they demand of us. huh, well it was boris johnson, i don't think there are any, well, rhetorically, at least similar to boris, well, thanks, actually. it was, of course, the speaker of congress, mike johnson, a republican, well, we're going to take a short break now and come back , we'll, we'll talk, we'll talk about military issues, as usual, especially we 're interested to know what's happening from the in view of the technical breakthrough that gene
