mike johnson, the newly elected speaker of the house of representatives is walking down. i think he will take a few questions. we're watching what is unfolding. there's a lot going on. mike johnson from louisiana is now the speaker of the house. he's been sworn in. 51 years old. elected to congress in 2016. sworn in in 2017. not many years in the house of representatives. he is now the speaker of the house. let's listen in. >> on behalf of the house of republican conference, we are unified and so proud to have elected mike johnson as speaker of the people's house. as many of you heard, the american people heard, i meant every word that i said on the house floor. i've had the opportunity to work with mike johnson as vice chair and i was so humbled and honored to nominate him. mike epitomizes servant leadership. he is humble but he is strong. he is well respected not only across this conference but across this great nation. and we know the stakes. we know we were sent here on behalf of the american people to serve as their voice. to stand up for them. to push back on the fai

let's bring in pat fallon of texas that helped get speaker mike johnson over the hump this afternoon. congressman fallon, we saw you out there with him moments ago. tell us about what we should expect from your colleague mike johnson who is now the speaker of the house. just getting used to that. >> thanks, martha. mike johnson is a bundle of talent and energy. you just saw that. people kept saying, we can't get to 217, which is the magic number. mike got to 220. every single republican member present voted for him because he brought us together. listen, we understand that also there's a big task ahead. lots of tasks. he's the perfect person to lead us through them. >> martha: one of the things we've been talking about here, you can see already the other side of the aisle punching back. they're calling him maga. maga mike johnson. that's what matt gaetz is calling him as well. he still seems to be aligning himself with the democrats that helped him to oust kevin mccarthy. how would you describe him and his approach to politics? >> i think mike is a reasonable and strong conservative,

absolutely and mike johnson of the _ new speaker. and mike johnson of the 217 votes _ new speaker. absolutely and mike johnson of the 217 votes that i new speaker. absolutely and mike johnson of the 217 votes that he i johnson of the 217 votes that he needed to cross the finishing line a short while ago. to become the 56th speaker of the house of representatives to the relief of many particularly those in his own party who have endured three very fractious weeks. weeks of infighting, name calling and at times what came close to physical altercation by all accounts as they wrestled to solve this problem of who could basically come together and represent the whole party. a party that is deeply divided at the moment between those on the right and those in the mainstream. when it comes to the mainstream, mike johnson is perhaps the ideal candidate in the sense that he is conservative, but a low—key conservative. he is very conservative, however, he opposes abortion rights and same—sex marriage and he is a close ally of donald trump. many

we should sort of note why mike johnson couldn't succeed. he kind of tries to get in that middle of the republican caucus, doesn't want to be too far out there on the right side. so he voted to raise the debt ceiling, but not to avoid the government shutdown. now he's asking for a possible continuing resolution to keep the government open. here's the other thing about john sob. he sponsored more bills that pass ed than the average republican. so he has an ability to get things done. he's been able to sort of get this broad gop support. so remember we had matt gaetz here. matt gaetz essentially sunk kevin mccarthy. and mike lawler, what we saw there, he sunk jim jordan. he has support on the left and sort of on the right side of the gop caucus. one last thing i will note in terms of fundraising. mike johnson is not been the biggest fundraiser in the world. he's not anywhere close to kevin mccarthy. he's not even near tom emmer. we saw some improvement from 2019 to 2021, so that's something that a lot of republicans will be wondering about. can

mike johnson he voted against the certification of joe biden. he comes a little less aggressive than jim jordan. jim jordan is in your face. he has a history. but mike johnson is under the radar but has hit my news wire. i have heard reports of him being slightly more clever than others trying to figure out a different way to dessert file the election. host: let's hear from john in illinois. time is short, john, jump in. caller: mike johnson is going to do a great job as speaker of the house. and hakeem jeffries needs to take his 212 votes go home and cry like a baby and trump doesn't need to get involved with this. he has his own problems and chuck schumer needs to get out of the senate. host: alan in arizona. >> the republicans will get their act together and 12 appropriation bills passed and and any democrats. shame on you. unbridled spending, shame on you, go republican party. host: we'll continue your calls as this process plays out. text us and post on facebook and post on x as well if you want to make thundershower thoughts known there. ap

congressman mike johnson of louisiana. >> the honorable mike johnson of the state of louisiana, having received a majority of the votes cast, is duly elected speaker of the house of representatives. >> having served only six and a half years in congress, he has the least experience of any speaker in 140 years. johnson is known for his conservative views and led efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results the country demands strong leadership of this body, and we must not waver. >> he's earned the support of former president trump, who is taking credit for johnson's win this time yesterday. >> nobody was thinking of mike and then we put out the word and now he's the speaker of the house, congressman matt gaetz, a nicknaming him maga. >> mike johnson if you don't think that moving from kevin mccarthy to maga, mike johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the republican party truly lies, then then you're not paying attention. johnson now, in a crucial role for the 2024 election certification. but president biden says he's not concerned. >> just l

speaker of the house, mike johnson, there it is. bret, he said a strong america is good for the entire world. then went on to say as you just mentioned, his first bill will be in support of our dear friend israel. i mean, he's 51 years old, he's repped louisiana's fourth district since 2017, in his fourth term there, he serves as the vice chair of the house republican conference, a leader on the judiciary and armed services committee, father of four, constitutional law attorney, a lot of america is just seeing mike johnson for the very first time and learning who he is. >> bret: that's right. he's a christian conservative, talks about that quite a bit as you heard in that speech, how god drives a lot of what he believes in. he talked about the founding principles of the country, and you know, he said they are conservative principles but stand for the country overall, and you know, it's interesting to see how he's going to lead and i think how they are going to try to get some of these things through. what he said was this is not goin

and we saw that immediately after the appointment of mike johnson as speaker yesterday in the house of representatives, and this was handed over by a very long three-week process, the election. and mike johnson was already the fourth candidate from the republican party, the majority party in the house of representatives, and after he was voted in, as well as elected speaker of the house of representatives, he said that he will promote conservative ideas, oppose the policies of the administration of us president joe biden and support us partners abroad. he did not immediately indicate which partners he was talking about, in his speech he mentioned israel, the importance of supporting israel, but it is also worth noting that mike johnson also stated the importance of us foreign policy aimed at the middle east and eastern europe, and actually, if we have mike's comment johnson, we can listen to him right now. this is the creed that has inspired our nation since it was founded, and it has made us the great nation that we are... and we are now in a time of extreme crisis, and the world need

this is just over 10 minutes. >> on behalf of the house republican conference, we are unified and so proud to have elected mike johnson as speaker of the people's house. as many of you heard and the american people heard, i meant every word that i said on the house floor, i've had the opportunity to work with mike johnson as vice chair and i was so humbled and honored to nominate him. mike epitomizes servant leadership. he is humble, but he is strong. he is well respected, not only across this conference but across this great nation. and we know this. we know that we were sent here on behalf of the american people to serve as their voice, to stand up for them to push back on the failed far left agenda of single party democrat rule led by joe biden. so we are here unified in strength to reopen the people's house and i'm so excited to turn it over to my colleague, tom emmer from minnesota, our whip. >> ok. thank you, elise. good afternoon, everyone. good afternoon, everyone. thank you for bearing with us. i know it's been a long few weeks from an outside point of view. these last few weeks probably looked like total cha

after three long weeks of indecision, mike johnson of louisiana has won the race for house speaker. republicans finally able to unite behind a candidate. brie bracjack /* son joins us d. >> reporter: speaker mike johnson will have a steep learning curve ahead of him. he does not have any leadership experience, but he's going to have to hit the ground running to deal with some urgent matters. one of the most pressing is keeping the federal government open. we face the possibility of a shutdown on november 17. johnson has endorsed a plan to bring up 12 individual spending bills instead of one big piece of legislation to keep departments funded and says he's also open to the possibility of a continuing resolution that would keep the government open through the holidays. then there is the $105 billion in urgent funding that the white house has requested. it includes more than $60 billion for ukraine and $14 billion for israel. then there's also funding for the southern border and other priorities for the white house. johnson told reporters there are going to have to be conditions on any

it is my great privilege to introduce the 45th speaker of the house, my dear friend, mike johnson. mr. johnson: thank you, steve, thank you tom and elise. this is an extraordinary team that's been assembled to serve the american people. steve scalise represents so much in our home state of louisiana, one of the things he truly represents is perseverance and hope. as he was talking here a moment ago i was reminded of the scripture that's suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, character produces hope. what we need this this country is more hope. the people have lost their faith in our institutions. their faith is at an all-time low. one of the reasons they've lost it is because the congress over the years has not delivered for the american people well enough. we're in the majority right now. we've gone through a little bit of suffering. we've gone through a little bit of character building. you know what it's produced? more strength, more perseverance and a lot more hope. that's what we're about to deliver to the american people. we are going to speak, we're

with speaker of the house mike johnson. much of a threat is the man house democrats are now calling maga mike? that is next. (♪♪) we have generations of low riding in our family. (♪♪) we're not sworn in, we're born in. seeing my baby girl ava cruise with me reminds me exactly how i was with my pops. (♪♪) and that's important to me because the serrano legacy continues. (♪♪) he hits his mark —center stage—and is crushed by a baby grand piano. you're replacing me? customize and save with liberty bibberty. he doesn't even have a mustache. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ children are the greatest joy and our best hope for a better future. friends, they are the future. but did you know that millions of kids right here in our own backyard are facing hunger every day without healthy food? it's harder to grow, to thrive, to feel their best. the impact when children don't have enough to eat is tremendous because when you're hungry and your basic needs aren't being met, you cannot learn. that's why i

of aid for israel and ukraine. the israel part won't be controversial. you heard an illusion to that in mike johnson's speech but the aid to ukraine continues to be a huge, controversial point among house republicans, and among house republicans who will make up mike johnson's base most of all. make no mistake, johnson was trying to introduce himself to the country as a man of faith, and someone who can work with both sides of the aisle. by policy, by actions around the 2020 election, this is the first maga speaker of the house that we're going to have here, and i suspect that is what we will see in governance, once he's got his government set up. the other big hurdle he's going to have to face in the couple of weeks. going to a junior member of the leadership team, to speakership, he has to get staffed up, moved into the office. we have been watching staffers move furniture in and out of that office all day long. there's a lot of work to get done for speaker johnson that typical call speaker designee does in between winning the election and assuming the position the following january, he's going to b

mike johnson will never give up. today is the day we get this done. may god bless our next speaker, mike johnson. may god bless the united states of america. and i yield back. >> and she was right. what do we know about johnson? he's relatively new to congress, his fourth term. he's never been the chairman of my committee, vocally anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage. he promised his fellow lawmakers a, quote, new form of government. let's take a live look at the house chambers. that is hakeem jeffries. he is speaking before they officially swear in johnson. johnson also an instrumental part of contesting the 2020 presidential election, refusing to certify biden's win as well. so, we are talking about unity being very surprising, and also the candidate. he is very conservative, even for some republicans. >> okay. took us some time to get here, but now we can actually move things along. they have a lot on their plate. >> congress can move forward. the house couldn't do anything until it had a speaker. now his hard work begins. obviously support for israel, support for ukraine, which, by the way, he opposes, and then, you know, funding the govern

mike johnson as speaker of the house. he encouraged his colleagues to join in lawsuit. if you win reelection in 2024, are you word that speaker johnson would attempt to overturn the election? >> no. just like i was not worried that the last guy being voted overturn the election. i understand the constitution. host: washington post has more on the road but mike johnson played in the 2022 -- role mike johnson played in 20 22. johnson numeral is seeking to overturn the vote was influenced by the former president, trump. whose past lawmaker was selected the same year in 2016 to help spearhead efforts on capitol hill. president trump called me last night and i was encouraged to his continued resolve to ensure every legal vote gets properly counted, that all instances of fraud and illegality are investigated. johnson tweeted on november 9. weeks later after ken paxton filed suit to challenge the votes in swing states. he used the connection in writing a december 9, 2020, with the subject line, time sensitive request from preside

the courts did not agree with mike johnson and his 100th block colleagues. the secretary of that early effort to overturn the election results, the effort organized by mike johnson, it gave trump and his supporters a real jumping off point from which to launch their stop the steal campaign, including a handy list of 100 plus allies that the trump campaign could lean on to support overturning the election results in congress. for his troubles, mike johnson has been described as, quote, the most important architect of the 2020 scheme among republicans in congress to reject the results of the election. now, today, we are only about a year away from the 24 presidential election. and this time, mike johnson won't be on the sidelines with votes against legitimate elections. this time, mr. johnson will have the full weight of the speakership behind him, which gives him enormous control over the certification of election results. and what happens if a guy with a gavel does not respect the results of the election? the lawyer who led the response to donald trump's election challenges

i think mike johnson is going to have to lean on steve scalise to be one of the most powerful majority leaders we have had in a long time. mike johnson talked about decentralizing the speakership. there's a sense that the source of all the problems is speakers are too powerful. i think that's silly. if that's the case, someone is going to be driving outcomes and that may be steve scalise, and we may have a situation where he is a weak speaker, and republicans want a weak speaker. >> de facto speaker, steve scalise. >> let's go to democratic congressman from south carolina, jim clyburn, the assistant democratic leader in the house. congressman, thank you very much. what do you think of this new speaker? is he somebody the democrats can work with? >> thank you very much for having me. i think so. i'm going to take him at his word. he seemed to be very civil in his approach to things, and that is what is necessary in order to create the kind of climate within which you can have bipartisanship. i think the problem we have had in the past is people are talking bipartisanship, and every time

but this resolution today, the choice of mike johnson for speaker, makes the stakes and the politicalr to the nation crystal clear. mike johnson is unambiguously in the fire right wing of the republican party on basically every issue. he's a zealous advocate for criminalizing abortion, cosponsoring and voting for a national abortion ban. last year, the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, mike johnson celebrated, calling it a glamorous day. he once blamed the country's economic woes on a woman's right to choose. >> roe v. wade gave constitutional covering to the killing of unborn children in america, period. you think about the implications of that on the economy. we're all struggling here to cover the basis of social security and medicare, medicaid, all the rest. if we had all those able-bodied workers in the economy, we wouldn't be going upside down in toppling over like this. >> i, mean if you don't spend a lot of time in real fringe parts of the right, you may not be familiar with the abortion industry is bankrupting the social security arguments, but it's a sort of reoccurring o
