i'm very concerned because with you in congress i worry that if mike johnson -- mike johnson has that and that will include the women of new jersey. >> my opponent is supported by extreme individuals. she received her money from people who were hidden from the voters and she is a progressive activist who will always side with extreme points of view. bernie sanders calls her the closest party to socialism. she stands with people that want to do extreme harm to the fiscal and values of this country. >> you were an activist for several years and a zealous voice for new jersey families. you supported a green new deal, medicare for all. some of those positions are among the most far left in american politics. now you are running for congress in a more moderate district and some of your views have changed. your positions have changed. is that just to run in the election? and why should seventh district voters trust you? >> i have broken with the left in two ways. i support israel. i stood up against anti-semitism on the left on the right and i fully support israel's vote -- right to defend

i talked to a bunch of people around mike johnson.ay it's a lot less than meets the eye. one close advisor to mike johnson said that donald trump and him have worked to boost certain candidates in primaries and in the general that have helped them -- put them in a good position to take the house of representatives. i will say this, this has raised very serious alarm bells in the democratic leadership in the house that if donald trump loses the election and contests the election, that it means republicans will also, if they lose the house, will contest their election. i don't know -- or the elections around the country. only time will tell how the clock ticks on that. i think that is something that is really gripping the house democratic leadership. it's in part reason why they have not scheduled their leadership elections yet in the house democratic caucus. this is having reverberations across the capitol. >> jake sherman, i hope you enjoyed fish in albany on october 26, my birthday. >> happy birthday. >> you did not say happy birthda

. >>> former house speaker nancy pelosi is here to talk trump's little secret with mike johnson. the state of the 2024 raise and more. >>> former washington post editor, tough words for the paper's nine endorsement as the 11th hour gets underway this monday night. . >>> here we go. i hope you are rested and hydrated. i am stephanie ruhle and we are eight days away from election day across the country, more than 45 million people have already voted. that number includes president biden himself. it is the last week of campaigning. can you really believe that? the presidential candidates are fanning themselves across seven key battleground states. here is a bit of what vp, less -- kamala harris had to say tonight. >> we have an opportunity to turn the page and chart a new and joyful way forward. we are not about the enemy within. we know we are all in this together. that is what we are fighting for. donald trump will give massive tax cuts like you did before to billionaires and the biggest corporations. he did it the last time and will do it again. i, on the other hand, will give mi

in just a moment lb joined by mike johnson. we will also hear from daniel cohen who just arrived here at the summit from israel. the death toll from hurricane helene continues to climb, potentially making it the most devastating storm in u.s. history, on the congress funded the government through december 20, which included additional disaster relief fund. more funds are needed. >> we are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. we are expecting another hurricane hitting. we do not have the funds, fema does not have the funds to make it through the season. >> that was homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas speaking wednesday aboard air force one. some members of congress have been quick to point out the demands diverted funds meant to help americans, instead allocating over $700 million in 2023 to organizations providing good and shelter for migrants. fema is on track to get out a similar amount this year. secretary mayorkas claims there is no money to help u.s. citizens in need. former arkansas governor

and you voted for some deeply conservative candidates for speaker like jim jordan and mike johnson. have not been critical of your own party in congress. why should the voters of new jersey seventh district trust you for another two years? >> i've always been independent voice for the people of this district. for the last two years and since taking office in state legislature. i listen to my constituents and focus on principles, point to them and support the constitution. maggots might party i served against my party and shipping across state lines. i listened to my constituents and focus on the principles that went to them and supporting the constitution. i served against my party on the shipping across state lines. i've been focusing on making sure we have more affordability in the state and in this country i will always stand up for the principles of making sure the people of educational opportunity, that they have access to affordability to make sure we have a stronger country going forward. >> we will wait for response. >> yes, congressman. one of the things i'm struggling with

i am certain that candle mike johnson wants to do that, but mike johnson said no.e bomb. >> well, no. i think i think what he was my understanding is what he was saying is no more. we're not going to beat repealing obamacare because it's too ingrained. we have to do massive reforms because we're not happy with no more attempts to repeal obamacare, does not know like he knew the u.s. been. so my and look, the house of representatives is going to be a narrow majority one way or the other. >> how much controversial stuff do you think either party is going to be able to create i think there's it was important thing scott said tonight from his source on the hill is that they're not going to change pre-existing conditions and let's just while it down to what's the most popular thing about obamacare is that people got coverage and for longer period of time with their children? yes, that is what they're most concerned about. and yes, drug prices and care for the elderly and all of that falls way below that the inflation crisis in this country that we've had for the last fo

abortion ban is because the people that you said at a rally that you had some big old plan to mike johnsonut what you have in store when you win. the election. so what is that plan? is it no more obamacare like speaker johnson said it's why when people connect donald trump to project 2025 and they say, oh, has hands are all on it is because they do want to get rid of health care. and project 2020, we should point out that don't trump ran in 2016 on eliminating obamacare. >> i remember an endless interviews. she was like day one. eliminate it and within the hour, yes. my plan is going to be in place and it's gonna be better and obama is it's great obamacare people love obamacare. >> it's not perfect. it's not perfect. it's not perfect. but many, many more americans have obamacare and that is why john mccain did the infamous, no, i'm not voting for it because he knew also his constituents like obamacare ship and the ship has clearly sailed on repealing it and johnson made that clear, it's ingrained in our system. but what that must be done. and i think what the republicans are going to focus

in a moment i'll be joined by house peter mike johnson and also hear from daniel cohen, news director of real-life network who arrived from israel and meanwhile the death toll from hurricane helene continues to climb potentially making it the most devastating storm in us history although congress under the government for the budget which included additional disaster relief funds biden administration is saying more funds are needed. >> we are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. we are expecting another hurricane hitting area we do not have the funds, fema does not have the funds to make it through the season and what is imminent. >> that was homeland security director alejandro dorcas peeking over air force one and members of congress have been quick to point point out fema has diverted funds instead allocating $700 billion in 2023 to organizations providing food and shelter for migrants . fema is on track to get up a similar amount this year yet secretary mayorkas claims there is no money to help us citizens in need . mike huckabee will join us later to discuss th

today on the sunday shows, both on meet the press and face the nation, house speaker mike johnson wased about whether he would certified the 2024 presidential election. here is what you said when he was asked the question on face the nation, watch this. >> i think there is going to be some cheating in this election. i think noncitizens are going to vote. >> speaker, you both in the course of this interview said that you do believe states have taken measures that will help the integrity of this election, and then you just also seem to undermine confidence in the integrity? >> margaret, hold on, wait a minute, wait just a minute, it is not me undermining it, it is actions of the biden-harris in ministration and some of these states. noncitizens are not allowed to vote under federal law. >> that is the one true thing he said, noncitizens are not allowed to vote, so then why would you say i think there's going to be cheating in this election? i think noncitizens are going to vote >> well, noncitizens are not allowed to vote, but i think it was the printed foundation that did the study tha

mike johnson on the sunday shows yesterday. ur pho calls now in open forum. this is lowell out of virginia, republican. good morning caller: just wondering, we give the people in north carolina $750 but yet as i understand we give illegal immigrants who break into our country, invited break-in, biden has invited us into our country. they get $9,000 as i understand. so i don't quite understand and i don't understand how they get health insurance, i don't understand how they get a debit card for money. i don't understand how they're eveneing flown in my jets, with my tax dollars, fr locations so that they don't ve to bother with the border. i don't get it. really, i think that history is going to show that this is an insanity and of course some people would say, well, we need enough people to payor the social security, so six peopl that are working for every one person who is retiring, i just -- i think that all that is going on and then people want to actually think about the possibility of hiring kamala harris to be the president. kamala harris was never a pe

i hear repeatedly from people like mike johnson and j.d.somehow we had a peaceful transfer of power. donald trump sat and watched for over three hours while our capitol was brutally attacked by a mob while our capitol was brutally attacked, while police officers were brutally beaten, and donald trump refused to tell them to go home for over three hours. so anybody who is interested in the truth ought to go look at those videos. we did not have a peaceful transfer of power in 2021. >> just this week, senator jd vance was asked five different times if donald trump lost the election, and he refused to say yes. polls show millions of republicans share that same view. how do you reach those voters? those republicans? >> yeah. i think, kristen, when people write the history of this period the republican elected officials who know it's false, who continue to spread the lie, will be among those who are shown to be just really complicit in this attempt to unravel the republic, and so they are spreading this lie. they know it isn't true. if we are go

i have to start with what mike johnson just said. question of whether donald trump lost as a gotcha game, that's what he said, which is not a hard question. i raise this because it's a reminder of what they are capable of doing another time around. what you say to that and how did you hear it? >> i heard it as you did which is that mike johnson, who is the architect of a brief filed in the supreme court but a number of house members, republican house members, trying to overturn the election. it refuses to acknowledge that donald trump lost the election. why is that important? it's important because it's in the mist test for donald trump as to whether he will choose someone for vice president which j.d. vance clearly had the pass and must continue to pass, but also mike johnson could be the speaker of the house of the republicans maintain the majority. he will control the gavel on january 6. it matters a lot what mike johnson thinks about the last election when 60 judges said there was no fraud. bill barr resigned because there was no

it is our very great honor to have speaker mike johnson, speaker of the u.s. house of representatives, address us this afternoon in our iconic building in lower manhattan. speaker johnson, who oversees an iconic institution in its own right, was elected to his leadership position in the house a year ago this month. the eldest son of a firefighter and a devoted husband and father, speaker johnson was first elected to congress from louisiana's fourth district in 2016. his assent to speaker was the second fastest in the chamber's history, ranking only behind the speaker in 1883. speaker johnson has served in this role during a monument is period for our great nation. more recently, he averted a potential government shutdown that would have begun today, and i am sure he is actively engaged in addressing the dire events that have unfolded this afternoon overseas. he also leads the house during highly charged campaign season with election day just five weeks away. and the vice president will debate taking place in new york city just a few blocks away from here tonigh

speaker of the house, house, mike johnson. [applause] mr. speaker, thank you. speaker johnson: thank you. thank you all so much and thank you for the invitation. it is a surreal opportunity for me, not one that i ever anticipate happening. it is such an honor to me that you all have taken the time to be here. it is a consequential moment in our history, and history of some of our allies today. it is great pleasure to be with you all at the world's great financial center. that is all true, everything that was just said, alongside business owners and job creators. we would be remiss if we did not make two notes as i begin some prepared remarks. first, well just witnessed another brazen attack by iran against israel. and apparent coordinated terrorist attack, we are praying for the safety as the -- of the israeli families course and the house gop leadership is arching the biden-harris administration to deliver a strong message to the iranian regime that this unjustified violence and terror has to end. we also recognize that it is hypocritical for the administration

today on the sundays show, house speaker mike johnson was asked about whether he would certify the 2024ntial election. here is what he said when he was asked the question on face the nation, watch this. >> i think there is going to be some cheating, i think noncitizens are going to vote. >> you said that you do believe that states have taken measures that will help the integrity of this election and then you just also seem to undermine confidence in the integrity -- >> no, wait a minute, wait just a minute, it's not me undermining it, it's the actions of the biden/harris administration. noncitizens are not allowed to vote under federal law. >> that's the one true thing he said. noncitizens are not allowed to vote so why would he say i think there's going to be cheating in this election. i think noncitizens are going to vote. >> noncitizens are not allowed to vote and i think it was the heritage foundation that did a study that said between 2002 and 2023, there were 85 cases cast. republicans keep raising this because they want to put in front of their voters that that would result in an

mike johnson recognizes the problem. he knows how appropriations work. he does not care because at the end of the day, the republican party is ruled by donald trump. whether in the white house or the sidelines, it is the party of trump. mike johnson is powerless without him. he believes that he knows it entrusts it. at the end of the day he doesn't care how many lies he has to tell. he will do it. he is doing this because it is the calculation he made because he believes it will help donald trump get elected. >> is this just desperation? he is doing what he did in springfield on repeat? >> that is all he has. that is why he didn't want the bipartisan bill to pass. he knew it would be taken away as a political issue. he is trafficking in racism and scaring of the other and using immigration. there are some legitimate problems. we all recognize this. it has been broken for 30 years. it didn't just happen. it was broken under trump and obama and bush. they are acting like this is new. they are exploiting it because he doesn't have anything else and he is fu

. >> mike johnson, the republican speaker, has already said that he and members of his party will onlyey think it's fair which is we can be wide open to interpretation what that means. talk to us about the pressures he is going to be under if donald trump loses. you know? do you think he would certify a kamala harris victory? >> this is a scenario donald trump loses and house is still held by republicans and mike johnson is trying to remain speaker and look back to kevin mccarthy it took him several days and several rounds of necessary votes to get speaker. i would like people to imagine the scenario mike johnson has to ask what they need from him to vote for him for speaker. the speaker happens on january 3rd. you certify the election on january 6th. it's not hard to imagine that mike johnson will tell a lot of those hard line conservatives i'm not going to bring up a certification vote and not allow that to happen if donald trump is protesting the outcome of the election. we may not have a speaker of the house by january 6th. it's likely if republicans maintain the house in that scen

about a secret plan he has with mike johnson. it raised for me, you are waking -- working your tail off to get, lot harris selected. it's about preparing people for the things he may try to do if and when she win. what are your preparing for. there are reports of burning ballot boxes today. we heard about the secret plan. what are you preparing for in that moment? >> i look at it this way. we have lanes we need to work in. there are group of people who are working to make sure the election integrity is followed. who are ready to fight the battles over republicans who were trying to deny access to the vote or deny what happens when people vote. our job right now is to focus on getting that boat out. getting people to the polls. making democracy work. understand this. the best way that we can prepare against whatever terrible things donald trump wants to try to do is to run up the biggest margins we can, in every single state in the country, to make it clear they american people do not buy donald trump's version of the world. that

. >> speaker mike johnson called the federal response in north carolina a massive failure today, not surprising for somebody that is a trump acolyte. when asked if he committed to calling congress back into session to shore up more federal disaster funding he said he would not. meanwhile resident i didn't is the one urging congressional leaders for additional funds. >> mike johnson kissed trump's ring a long time ago and i do not expect him to sing from another songbook. all of them know they are lying. they want to spread animus towards migrants because they think that will help them at the polls. they are looking at that darkest underbelly of our culture, the culture that tends to be racist and xenophobic, and they are playing hard on it. mike johnson recognizes this is a problem, he knows how appropriations works and he does not care, at the end of the day the republican party is ruled by trump. mike johnson is powerless without trump and he believes that, he knows it, and at the end of the day he does not care how many lies he has to tell, he will do it. he is doing it because it

which is so frightening about a next mike johnson speakership is that nothing got done in washington. we had the most ineffective congress in history and dare i say the least effective congressman. when i am in congress i will, believe it or not, work across the border, work across the aisle to fix the border. >> i voted for the most comprehensive border security bill that ever passed in the house of representatives. passing on a bipartisan basis. we need to ensure that we put back. we need to have dock. something we also need to be looking at in fact, even kamala harris joe biden have backed away from that position with their current new proposal. we need to build a wall. we need to have more border patrol agents. we need to make sure we have adjudication that is right but at the end were a nation of immigrants and also a nation of laws. >> i'll give you 30 seconds, sue altman. >> i'm surprised use built the wall. that's pretty incredible. that's pretty trampy. yeah, i mean trump wanted to on immigration. he wants to fan the flames of xenophobia, nationalism which is a cheap knockoff

and have the house of representatives under the leadership and the control and the gavel for mike johnsonry to overturn this election. it was the exact reverse and january 6, 2021, you had mike pence, the vice president who was presiding over the joint session but you had nancy pelosi and chuck schumer who were presiding over congress if it's the reverse, the republicans have a lot more opportunity and a lot more possibilities for overturning this election. and that's what this was about yesterday that i built believe is what donald trump's secret with mike johnson was. and that's why he's here is because the house majority runs through new york. >> congressman we're up against 7:00. so it just yes or no answer. you're saying you believe that donald trump has a plan with mike johnson already to try to overturn the presidential election that he referenced very likely may relate to

imagine, for us to be able to stop fighting with the border mike johnson did not want anything to do with it and you know what that was with those pretty politics over people. it was preferring bring to solutions and we need to fix the border and we need to get people over politics and i have a number of things to get sanctuary cities my voted to increase criminal penalties against immigrants who commit violent crimes. an insult police pretty. >> matt cartwright. >> i would really rebuttal on this okay and so you be interested if you did so much work, with a process, whether we gotta guess that that which would effectively allow illegal migrants to produce faith in the united states elections when we allow the in 2023, hr 461 and people will seek washington dc come through and to be houston without background checks and limiters was a feel those are paramount concerns and you voted in favor of that. >> matt cartwright 30 seconds neck is on the weather. >> , bipartisan policy center and i do a lot of bipartisan work in congress and unknown for it when the most bipartisan democrats in

that the letter that the speaker of the house of representatives of the american of congress, mike johnson sent an ultimatum to volodymyr zelensky about the need to refuse the services of the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, mrs. oksana markarova, but this is just a sign of this, i would say, such a harsh reaction, but precisely... could such a scandal have been avoided in some way, from the point of view of our authorities , to build either a visit or a behavioral model in order to smooth out the corners as much as possible and avoid this scandal as much as possible, or after all the scandal that arose because of the visit to the zelensky plant in pennsylvania, it was already too... invested, and it could not be avoided at all, well, look, zelenskyy is not the first time visiting a military factory, he was still cozy at the factory of such a republican governor there, it was earlier, in a few months before the elections, and it didn't cause anyone any reactions. of course, from this, i would say, purely professional point of view, if you come to the states a few weeks before th

trump has a secret plan with mike johnson. that's what last night told us. hatred is the closing message and conspireing with mike johnson seems to be the back up plan. joining me at the big table tonight is george conway, politico white house correspondent, eugene daniels and former spokesman for hillary clinton. the vibes over here are, because you're a journalist. you don't have any vibes!. >> i'm tired. >> these are pretty calm. it's eight days now. nine days last night. what is last night's rally tell you about trump? those were the headlines. >> this is more of the same except he's accelerating, getting worse, and people around him are getting worse because thaer just catering to his desires. the comedian was the perfect warm up act for him. you saw some of the headlines you put up there before. he's the guy who basically said we should trade puerto rico for greenland because it's full of dirty people. he called, talked about haiti as a shit house country. people said shit hole and the republicans denied it and they said he didn't say that. you know, h

mike johnson put the kibosh on it, and he did that because donald trump told him to. what's so frightening about a next mike johnson speakership is that nothing got done in washington. we had the most ineffective congress in history, and dare i say the least, least effective congressman, when i'm in congress, i will believe it or not, work across the border, work across the aisle to fix the border. tom coburn i voted for the most comprehensive border security bill that ever passed the house of reps. in fact, passed on it on a bipartisan basis. and we need to ensure that we put back in time for it to. we need to come forward. doca is something that we also need to be looking at as a promise that needs to be kept. but at the end of the day, let's just remember there was no bill that passed the senate. my opponent is lying about that. but that and the bill that she would have supported, she says, would actually increase the number of illegal detention because it would on a daily basis, we set a number of illegal border crossings that were oc before the the border between

as mike johnson and lindsey graham, lindsey on nbc, mike johnson, i think, on cnn were saying that's not what he's talking about. he's talking about the policies. >> yeah, it's really pathetic to watch lindsey graham and mike johnson and jd vance even has been asked about this, watch them try to contort themselves to defend the comments. i recall not too long ago a lot of republicans were saying that it was democrats' rhetoric calling donald trump a threat to democracy that was responsible for the two assassination attempts. it is rich then for them to defend these comments when we know that nancy pelosi's husband was brutally attacked and i think that republicans are, like myself, who have gone against donald trump, though are right to call out the threat that he is to democracy, because he is someone who tried to overthrow a free and fair election. so, that is the threat to democracy. and i also think too that i don't know how these republicans can defend these comments from trump when he's calling his political opponents or people who vote differently and don't support him the ene

mike johnson on the sunday shows yesterday. this is lowell out of fredericksburg, virginia, republican, good morning. caller: just wondering. we give the people in north carolina $750. as i understand, we give illegal aliens who have been invited to break into our country get $9,000 and they understand. -- as i understand. i do not understand how they get health insurance. i do not understand how they get a debit card for money. i do not understand how they are even being flown in my jets with my tax dollars from locations so they do not even have to bother with the border. i do not get it, really. i think history is going to show that this is an insanity. some people would say we need enough people to pay for social security so six people working for every one person retiring. i just think that all that is going on -- and then people want to actually think about the possibility of hiring kamala harris to be the president. kamala harris was never a person anyone would even allow to be anything. if you remember the first debate

republicans not stepping up and calling out this stuff especially the enemy within comment and speaker mike johnson was asked about it today on cnn today by jake tapper and listen to what the speaker says in response. >> you know that is not what he is talking about. he is talking about marauding gangs a violent people destroying public property. >> no. he is talking about adam schiff and nancy pelosi. he's literally talking about -- >> no he is not. no he is not, jake. >> angelo, i mean, go ahead. >> this is what they are saying on fox and the rest of the right wing media and they say the thing is saying and that to me is one of the challenges and some of the things he says are so far that even the own people are put off a little bit by it and they have to lie about it even to their own people and mike johnson is reflecting that in the very same thing you saw with the vice presidents interview last week. >> on that point, i talked about the piece in the new york times and i want to read part of that again because it gets to what you are pointing out and what if his supporters are wanting and don't

let's not forget that mike johnson was one of those behind the whole election deniable, where he wasf them. and he is now the head of the rnc was a top election deny where they will have them in charge of the election integrity unit. and all of them, mitchell, all of them, they have all been part o this denial under the guides of election integrity where they have been a part of the whole ecosystem. and for them to sit there and turn it around and the projection, right, amman. all these things that we've seen and we've known not to be true. to ransack our capital and the hall of our capital as they know this and in order to maintain that here where it is not. tell that to the police officers who lost their careers because of their injuries or the officers who lost their lives. or the hundreds of police officers that were lost that day and who were screaming for their life when they saw that video. it is so offensive to me that they did not use january 6, the guys that walk around with their pocket constitutions. they used to walk around telling everybody else they weren't american en

i mean, to mike johnson pointed it is so ingrained in our simon.hem trying to repeal obamacare arguably kind of led to what happened in 2018 with this stream red wave, it was extremely a popular republican or a blue wave, rather blue republicans lost significant amount of seats and this is not a popular thing. i mean, people, it's really isn't great nurses in now to mike johnson's 0.1 of the things that i'm curious, how your thinking about this, because we're obviously we talk all the time about the presidential race, but we are of course yes, preparing for control of congress and potentially shift it seems likely that the senate is going to go republican. >> the house is a little bit well, as much more up in the air in terms of what might happen. >> but the idea of the potential for unified republican government would prevent, such moments as you might remember. i was, i was at the capitol covering this when john mccain went down to the senate floor in this sort of stunning moment there he is. and he turns his thumb downward and he's the deciding

is in theory, this is what donald trump achieved in his first term. >> that was house speaker mike johnsonident trump's unpredictability as he spoke during a virtual event yesterday. joining us now democratic congressman jake auchincloss of massachusetts. congressman, good morning. you know, what johnson views as a virtue there, trump's unpredictability probably viewed differently by some of america's allies in europe and elsewhere as well as those, let's say, in ukraine depending on our aid. let's get your reaction to what he said. do you think unpredictability is a strength? >> jonathan, first of all, good morning. i find it astounding how willing my republican colleagues are to just walk around next to donald trump and cleanup after his messes and try to explain to the american people why his idiocies are somehow brilliance in disguise. you'd think they'd be tired of it after almost a decade of doing it, but they continue to be his lapdog. no, he's not prepared to be commander in chief. and people who know a whole lot more than mike johnson on national security have said so including hi

you have, as we just played there, we have trump talking about the hurricane response and mike johnson saying they are not going to come back in session and they will not get emergency funding for the states. the vice president is out meeting with the community and seeing with the community needs. he is in touch with the governor's including roy cooper and that does not stop the republicans from lying about the response and it seems like they have forgotten about hurricane katrina that happened under george w. bush. >> i think they have not and i think that is why they are approaching it the way they are. i think it is the political utility and what that will do to them at the ballot box. when you look at north carolina right now, they understand that disaffection with fema and government response can breed resentment and grievance that will translate to both of them if they can keep that information silos going and that is something they are focused on. it is intentional and there is a direct line between what we saw happen in new orleans and what is happening right now in north carol
