and speaker pelosi continues to play games. she admitted the other day the one reason is she is waiting for a new president. these small businesses don't have a time to wait for political games whether or not they will close for good. we lost over 100,000 -- [applause] mr. scalise: we lost over 100,000 restaurants in america that will never reopen. a third of every single small business in the entire state of new york is gone for good. this is a real issue that we don't have time to wait on. there is a long list of areas of disagreement. every time they put out another plan on the table, speaker pelosi says no. she doesn't come up with an alternative and continue to play partisan games and this game has to end. this game of chicken where hostages are being taken. the hostages are small businesses and millions of families who want to go be able to go back to work. you had the smartest minds in medicine who said there is nothing wrong with protocols and you have some of these governors that are telling you you can't get go to the

speaker pelosi: yes. reporter: \[indiscernible] and you can't -- \[indiscernible] but what should be, in your opinion, the problem solvers caucus, a much larger bill a few months ago, is not like, \[indiscernible] on board with this piece. speaker pelosi: perhaps you missed what i said earlier. joe biden committed to ending and crushing the virus and having a build a better america initiative, a vaccine. build back better. a vaccine, an answer to our prayers. an answer to our prayers of 95% effectiveness in terms of pfizer and moderna, and there may be others coming forward. that makes -- that is a total game changer. a new president and a vaccine. so there's nothing to -- these are different -- what was then before was not more of this. this has simplicity. it's what we've had in our bills. it's for a shorter period of time, but that's ok now because we have a new president, a president who recognizes that we need to depend on science to stop the virus, a president who understands that america's working

pelosi: what should be universal? reporter: background checks for aides or interns of all staff and interns on capitol hill after concerns about mr. swalwell. ms. pelosi: i don't have any concerns about mr. swalwell. there are those in the congress who believe, and i am among them, that we should be seeing what influence the chinese, aye been fighting them as you know for over 30 years in terms of their undue influence at university -our country and the overtures they tried to make to members of congress. in thes of mr. swalwell, spring of 2015, the leadership of the house and the committee were informed that overtures from a chinese person were being made to members of congress. when that was made known to the members of congress, it was over. that was the end of any communication with those people. so it isn't -- i think we should make sure that everybody knows what they are being subjected to. but i don't know that it means we have to background check every intern who come into the capitol. i do think that it's unf

speaker pelosi: thank you very much, mr. leader, and thank you for your leadership in assuring that as we go forward, the important roles that are state and local governments play in the lives of people is recognized and the states, in particular, when it comes to the , going from vaccine to vaccination, from the lab to the arm, the important legislation there, recognizing the role of the states in that and so many other things, education, transportation, so many initiatives that do help the states, but i associate myself with your comments. billion.25 it is bipartisan. we support that. however, if we had $325 billion for state and local governments, our health care workers who risk their lives and who may lose their jobs, our police and fire, first responders, first on the sea and when they have to administer the needs of a coronavirus victim, food workers, teachers, teachers, the custodians of our children -- we are not forgetting them. we are going to go forward and help them and recognize and honor them for how important

spear pelosi, inc. is a much for helping create a more just world, and congratulations on such a well deserved award. >> madam speaker, congratulations. >> when history looks back at this moment, we will see that you not only with the way ofhe democratic party which was a conscious of her country, fighting for ideals that making them realersonal many that for far too long have been left outside inclusiveness that our country sought for from its very founding. weather was fighting back against "don't ask, don't tell" road leading to fight for the quality act or trying to find all the ways that we need to make our country kinder, more inclusive, stronger and fair. you've been at the forefront of ery single fight. we are so grateful for you. thank you, and congratulations. >> if it were not for her political skill, courage and devotion of principles, "don't ask, don't tell" would still be on the books, and the lame-duck session of 2000 that she told the city that she would not pass the defense authorizatio

speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer. have a pelosi: that we vote on. space.y had this good evening, everyone. honored as well as, tonight, happy to welcome the distinguished leader of the democrats in the senate. i want to salute him for the massive work he did last evening to find a solution, to give us a path to bring the legislation forward that will help american working families. been toose has always crush the virus, to put money in the pockets of the american people, which we do in this legislation. sadly, our third purpose to honor our heroes was not fully appreciated by our republican colleagues, and so our support for state and local governments, while significant in this legislation, requires more to be done, so we consider this a first step, and, again, more needs to be done. we are so excited that that will be happening under the biden-harris administration, about 700 hours from now. thisi am excited about in bill, and it is really the democratic difference, is what it does for america's working families. as we see food lines all over the

nancy pelosi. all of these people.hen that happens doesn't it undermine their citizens' faith in the policies and regulations they shall rolling out? >> yes. understand sniewtions america are already under attack. people question whether it's the election institutions, public health policy institutions. but when you have your leaders as well. i'm in the congress. we are held with a disregard by most americans today. and that partly is because we have not lived by the laws we placed on people. i single out speaker pelosi on that. but also in the states as well. the american people, they know intuitively that lawmakers have authority only because the people give them that power by voting for them, and in our constitution and the state constitutions. we are seeing that being abused. that's why people don't trust us anymore. lisa: we are seeing negotiations on an omnibus spending bill and covid relief package. where do you stand on those two items? >> we have $500 billion that you can put for ppp, small businesses, without

speaker pelosi: we have the time to do it. doesn't -- again, we won't omnibus.n the we have to have an omnibus, and we're hoping that will accelerate the discussions on the omnibus. we are going to keep government open. e're not going to have a continuing resolution, but we need to take the time to do that. as i said, we saw a framework. putting -- now they have to turn it into text, and so e'll take the time we need and we must get it done and we must get it done by this -- before we leave. we cannot leave without it. mean -- does that speaker pelosi: it doesn't matter. we will take the time we need. question is when will the ext be ready so that we can combine it into the -- the yet.us is not finished we have a number of what we call ash and trash. a lot of other issues that need to be resolved, and they're doing that.e of nd i don't want to in any way undermine the great bipartisan negotiations that are going on the democrats and republicans, senator shelby, as chair of the appropriations committee in the senate, nita lowey

i mean so pelosi let swalwell sit on house intelligence as republicans point out in their letter pelosiemanded jeff sessions resign as attorney general because of jeff sessions two meetings, he didn't tell congress about with the russian ambassador incoming team member of the trump team. so you know, so the double standard is appalling and it is outrageous what, that this is going on. this guy put american national security at risk. what do you say? >> well, liz, there is no doubt about it, hypocrisy is on full display here. one thing democrats have been completely honest about, authentic and consistent about is the democrat party today is the pro-china party. they have all together dismissed the greatest adversary the greatest threat we face in america today, which is china who seeks to dominate us militarily and economically. they never want to focus on the threat for some reason. at the outset of our conversation a little bit ago, the only other explanation than her needing eric swalwell's vote to be reelected as speaker, that speaker pelosi as well is entangled in types of foreign i

speaker pelosi: yes, i believe he does. reporter: the race in iowa, how is the house going to prevent a situation that was seen in 1985 between mccloskey and his republican opponent? and would you encourage the loser of the new york 22 race to do the same thing if their recount ends in a very -- rep. pelosi: the issue relating to iowa is an issue for the house administration committee. it is my understanding that rita hart, an excellent candidate for congress, has -- will be asking the house to take this up. for further information about the technicalities of that, that becomes at the house, not a political, but a house administration matter. house decides who it will seat. we don't have any idea -- new york is a completely different situation. new york is a completely different situation. new york, there could be 1500 or 5,000 votes not counted yet. that is going into the courts, i think monday is the day in the court. and that is -- and that is what is -- we'll see what happens in the court, and that may end up in the con

here some say they will not back nancy pelosi. you have these three democrats representative conor lamb, jared golden and elissa slotkin who have said they will not back nancy pelosi. i have talked about the reshuffling of our political allanement. i have talked about the republican party going through a reshuffling of positions. i liken that to dominoes. you will be shifting them every which way. what's happening on the democratic side though is a pull. it's not so much a reshuffling but a hard pull in one direction. we're watching our political parties change as we speak, lawrence. will. >> lawrence: yeah. people wonder why nancy pelosi gave these powerful 'seats to these freshmen on the judiciary committee. remember, these are democrats that primaried other democrats and whop their seats after 20-must years. have you cori bush that unseated lacy clay in missouri after he and his father it had the seat. and you got the other member bowman that unseated engel in new york city after 20-plus years and his seat. these people came wi

nancy pelosi, all of these people. so when that happens, doesn't it undermine their citizens' faith in the policies and regulations that they're rolling out and implementing? >> yeah. i mean, think about this. the institutions in america are already under attack and people question them whether it's the election institutions, public health policy institutions. when you have your leaders as well, that brings -- for instance, nim the congress. we are really held with a disregard by most americans today and that part of it is because we have not lived by the laws that we placed on people and i single out of speaker pelosi in that.pe but also in the states as well. the americanel people, they know intuitively that lawmakers havea authority only because the people give them that power by voting for them and in our constitution and in the state constitutions. we are seeing that being you abused and that's why people don't trust us anymore. they simply don't trust us. >> and congressman, this weekend we're seeing negotiations

for a long time, speaker pelosi demanded that there be 2.2 trillion or something thereabouts. speaker mcconnell had it, then they went down to about $500 billion. i think that this plan is close enough to leader mcconnell that we can get him on board. joe biden said he supported the proposal and speaker pelosi retreated. i think we are very close. i think it's very needed. farl businesses, so

wolf bitter asked nancy pelosi around she slapped him down.president trump or republican done that to a reporter we would have been viewed as attacking the press. interesting how nancy pelosi treats the press when they ask her probing questions which is their job. number one. nancy pelosi again was evading the underlying issue why she held up the relief that long. she never answered the question in that clip. nancy pelosi has used the american people as pawns in this political game. she has not answered to the press when they have asked legitimate questions. just shows you the arrogance of the democrat leadership. elizabeth: all right. congressman, good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, liz for having me on. elizabeth: federalist senior editor christopher bedford on georgia senate runoff which erps companies where the country goes the next four years. is the top democrat in georgia, one of the top democrats, is he in trouble dodging questions about a domestic dispute caught on camera. we'll show you what weren't down there. that st

who knows, did someone try to influence nancy pelosi to put them on the committee?nd he's running for president. what is worse, the chair of the intel, adam schiff do this. he knew this. the whole time they are trying to impeach the president. everything eric swalwell accused the president of, he did. nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, third in line to the presidency, knew about this and kept him on the committee. the real question will come january 3. now that members of congress know this and only the leader can put them on the committee, if you vote from nancy pelosi as speaker, your voting to put eric swalwell back on the intel committee and adam schiff as chair while knowing this information. judge jeanine: this is all up to nancy pelosi, if she is reelected as speaker. >> she puts on the democrat, she named the democrats, intel mitty and i name the republican intel committee. judge jeanine: and he gets on it, the fact that he and adam schiff, both on the intel committee did nothing but trash president trump on a russian collusion, even mueller couldn't ev

pelosi: we are very excited about having won the house. we have the gavel, the speaker's gavel, and 130 two other gavels of chairs and subcommittees. many of them are in the hands of freshmen and newer members of congress and we are excited about that. 18 freshmen had gavels. that is historic. nothing close to that before. -- our caucus is unified around our common ethical belief in our responsibility to america's working families. that's what brings us together. of course, we have our differences in approach and some other ideas. that is our vitality. i would not want to be a leader of a party that is rubberstamped, lockstep. that is called republicans. the democratic party is democratic in every way, including respecting the views of all in our caucus, so i have great confidence that on an agenda that is there for america's working families, we will have the unity that we need to proceed under the leadership of joe biden, kamala harris, the biden-harris administration, and, hopefully, with the democratic senate, we will see what next wee

nancy pelosi isn't responding. it is a long held thing that aoc posts pelosi. pelosi takes it or doesn't and moves forward. this will be nancy pelosi's last term as speaker and we'll see fresh leadership coming up. >> sandra: sounds like that is something you see your party needing at this point because, of course, some of the moderates, jessica, i'll let guy dig into this. moderates have blamed aoc and far-left democrats for recent house losses. aoc took issue with that and hit right back. listen. >> it's because this political class and this kind of larger power in the democratic party, they need to say, they have to blame defund the police because their actual political execution is so sorry and it is so poorly done. >> sandra: so, guy? >> it's definitely not one big happy family over in democrat world. i'm intrigued by a few different things that she is saying here. she was asked about not just pelosi but also chuck schumer. and i will just remind folks that chuck schumer is coming up for reelection in the state of new york. another young up and coming memb

nancy pelosi and president trump, very toxic. pelosi and mcconnell haven't been in the regular communication you would expect if we're getting a big deal, it's pretty clear everyone went home over thanksgiving and heard from people like who jo talked to in their own states and own districts who said to them this is not acceptable. >> reporter: i think that's absolutely right. this is unescapable, the scope of the pandemic now, in a way that perhaps it wasn't earlier in the summer. you're seeing as we watch cases spread across the midwest, across the upper midwest, in places like north dakota even, as this has become an issue in states across the country, not just big cities like it felt like to some of these lawmakers, earlier on that has changed the state of play here. i think it's notable that bill cassidy from louisiana louisiana, a doctor, someone who represents a very red state, really hit hard by this pandemic, has been one of the people involved in this process and will potentially be really important to bringing other rep

something this speaker pelosi appointed him to.mbers of the house intelligence committee. they told me that frankly they're not comfortable even having him in the room because of the sensitive nature of the information that they handle there. they agree that yes, he is cooperating with the fbi, he has cooperated in the past. but their worry is that he has been compromised and that he could be compromised in the future. >> charles: so does it all come down to on the outcome of the senate races in georgia on what happens next? >> i mean, it certainly -- that is something that could influence this. perhaps you see speaker pelosi quietly remove swalwell in the new year. from what we've seen thus far, i don't think that that is likely. but look, one thing that you have to admit about eric swalwell, the man is bold. he knew about this investigation, he knew that he had been caught up in alleged chinese attempts to play the long game, to curry influence members of congress. even after that, he still attached the president's and the presid

nancy pelosi said that he keeps saying on television on this network when did nancy pelosi learn aboute time. they were all brought together by federal agents and briefed about congressman swalwell potentially being breached by an alleged chinese spy. they all learned at the same time. so it would be fascinating to get the house minority leader's impression of when they learned and then what the next steps were taken. that's a key part of all this that nobody has addressed. if they all learned at the same time in 2015, what were the next steps? what happened to eric swalwell? was he briefed again by federal agent? was he investigated what kind of contacts he had with this person? this christina fang, fang fang as she was known, went back to china. nobody knows why she went back to china. was she dismissed, sent back to china, informed that she had been uncovered? that's the question that everybody wants to know now is what happened going forward. probably a good time to bring in chad pergram the capitol hill correspondent. a couple of key questions you asked and give us more insight. o

speaker pelosi and schumer and pelosi have also been injected under the plan.t remains unclear when president trump will get his dose. the president today is at the white house, didn't hold any public events but he did tweak for the first time about the massive cyber attack that's hit the government systems are invited. the president saying on twitter, china may be responsible, not russia but lawmakers from both parties, cyber experts and mike pompeo but the blame squarely on russia. >> a very significant effort and i think it's the case now that we can say pretty clearly it was the russia's who engaged in this activity. >> marco rubio saying it's increasingly clear russia intelligence conducted the greatest cyber intrusion in our history. determining it's damage session is underway. significant resources are proportional but significant. more and more lawmakers are accusing government cyber security officials, the hack going back several months and it's unclear how many were really compromised. president trump recently dismissed the head of the cyber security

and testing, as you heard pelosi, $20 billion for that. relief of $20 billion for health care providers. programs assistance will see $13 billion come from this. and also $45 billion for systems, transit highways, and amtrak. include a lso will bill to keep the federal government funded. extension being signed yesterday. that's also a part of this overall package. rom linda in memphis, tennessee, independent line. caller: hello. host: hi. on.re caller: yes. three quick things. eople believe this country's still in god's hands, he's still in control. number two, this package is a in the face to american individuals. this is our taxpayer money. deserved more. we deserved our money to be us.n back to $600 is not going to get anybody anywhere. going to maybe pay -- and that's it. me, r three, believe eople, if they -- pelosi correlated p.p.p. to state and ocal funds, but they didn't correlate the individual payments to the small businesses. they can give all the money they want to the small businesses. but if we the people don't have to spend

speaker pelosi: let's be hopeful that it can happen this week. the sooner it happens, the sooner the checks go out. we not giving up on it. the president of the united states, donald trump is advocating for the powers in a bipartisan way in the house and has voted for it. it would have bipartisan support in the senate if mitch mcconnell would only allow it to come to the floor instead of being an obstruction to those checks going to the american people. >> one additional he is going to object on january 6. do you have comments on that? that move from the republican? speaker pelosi: i have no doubt that next wednesday, week from today, that joe biden will be confirmed by the acceptance of the votes of the electoral college as the 46th president of the united states. yes, ma'am. >> an overview from you, you [indiscernible] together with a fighting spirit through hard times. [indiscernible] what are your thoughts on the majority next year, next week? speaker pelosi: we are very excited about having won the house. we have the gavel. we also have 132

proposal through a pelosi and speaker senator schumer last night. let me tell you where i think we are. leader mccarthy and i have been in discussions with the secretary of the treasury and the president's chief of staff to ascertain what the president would actually sign into law. i think we have a sense of what that is. a call we hadt in just a little while ago. we will send that out to all the offices and get some back to see how our members react to a proposal we can say for sure would be signed into law. i think the one think we agree on is we don't have time for messaging games. we don't have time for lengthy negotiations. the issue is do we want to get a result? i would like to remind everyone the way to get a result is you have to have a presidential signature. i felt the first thing we needed to do was find out what the president would in fact sign. we believe we have the answer to that. that on ourng side and we will let you know if we think there is any way forward. certainly we know we can say, i hope, this is something that would be sig

no one is better congress than whipping about then house speaker nancy pelosi. to some liberals whether pelosi is the right leader. >> i do think that we need new leadership in the democratic party. >> no one challenged pelosi and democratic leadership elections last month including alexandria ocasio-cortez. she says she's not ready for the job, but pelosi can only stand to lose a handful of democrats and the vote for speaker on the house floor come january. bret. >> bret: quickly, it could come t tonight, could come tomorrow. do we have any... >> they don't think that the house rules committee will meet tonight, the indication that they are not going to have paper tonight because you have to go to the rules committee one day before you put the bill on the floor. the rules committee is not going to meet tonight. so this is probably a thursday, friday, weekend or next week project. >> bret: always the inside scoop from chad, thank you. stocks mix today on this so-so news. the dow lost 45, the s&p 500 gained 500. also, breaking tonight, a wintry blast. residents o

of desperation waiting for nancy pelosi to do the right thing?umbers being very close now between the majority and minority is going to be something special for us because nancy pelosi has a choice to make. is she going to kowtow to the socialist squad, those five votes will be the difference or is she going to work with us, the republicans, kevin mccarthy to get some common ground that real bipartisan work done for the american people. that is what we are waiting to see. hopefully she will side with us and not go so far to the left. that is what the american people have shown they once considered they lost every tossup seat in the past cycle. >> i'm still hearing from people say they don't understand how the republican party did so well with latino voters and people like you flipped season the president grew his percentage with latino voters. how do you answer those as you head to capitol hill? >> we share the values of latino voters in south florida. what democrats, especially the extreme left of the democratic party, what they are selling does

really nancy pelosi deserves the blame here.ory seems to me, this was going to happen, the money would get out the door, this process is a disaster. it's so broken. the idea that you would -- that a bill would be 5,000 pages, that you give people less than 24 hours to read it that you're talking about 2.3 trillion. nobody has the foggiest idea what is in this. it's exactly this kind of thing that makes people so frustrated with what the happens in washington. they should be frustrated about it. >> bret: speaking of frustrated, ilhan omar tweeting out that it would make sense if it was age, but unfortunately it's of importance and it's shameful. we're not more important than front line workers, teachers and those making sacrifices which is why i won't take it. people that need it should get it. talking about vaccinations for lawmakers. criticizing her own squad member, aoc. >> yeah, the whole question about whether members of congress should get this vaccine now is a really important one. there's a certain public health communica

the pelosi schumer approach they really do shortcut the vaccine. the republican bill has the paycheck protection. that's what small businesses are asking for and he has money to help kids get back to school safely so they don't fall further behind. this is the path forward for the country. the republican bill is sizable and significant and the path the american people want to follow. >> it's also safe to say senator shelby said we are making real progress on the omnibus spending bill. i know on part of the education bill we are down to only discussing report language with the full committee help we are going to close that out before the house and senate they've worked for that over the last couple of weeks now and we are getting to a good place with the rest of the bell. the other topic i want to talk about today is the arms sale. it appears sometime this month there will be a congressional vote on that issue. my personal view is it would be a mistake not to move forward with that arms sale. israel is supporting and i think that it may be the only

people complain about nancy pelosi. house,elosi, democrats, they passed bills, the voting rights act, bailout money, etc., 300-plus bills back in the spring. it is still sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk. host: i'm getting one last call here. bismarck, north dakota, a republican. your turn. i think the $2000 stimulus should go through. i think he just added those two bills and stuff, and trump's >> we bring you live coverage of nancy pelosi's news conference. year, of the session of congress, and of this congress. until next week, when we will be in new congress, i wish you a happy new year as we go forward. sadly, congress received the news last evening with a passing of a new member of congress. from louisiana, due to be sworn in sunday, but taken by the coronavirus yesterday. he leaves his wife and two babies, and we extend sympathy to his family. suspect, 41 years old, coronavirus, blood clot complication. many of the deathsas we go forwe sure that we are scientific and determined to crush the virus. let us extend d

has he called speaker pelosi? he done anything to lift a finger not only to keep the government functioning so it can send out checks but to get people the desperate need that they have, get them any check and then get to that $2,000. >> we just heard from kevin mccarthy now, the house republican leader who has said that they are not going to join democrats in a unanimous consent motion to get this $2,000 done. it's a dear colleague letter. david jolly, help me with this one. long after the bill was passed in congress october 1st, mitch mcconnell kept saying, without naming names, he said, i've got people in my republican congress and senate who will not go for a lot of money for americans, either because they don't want to encourage the laziness, i suppose, the signal that sends o they don't want to run up the debt. not the problem they had with the tax cuts. what's happening now? what has happened here? because mcconnell and trump have been in lockstep for the better part of four years, and now they're entirely

flip over to the house of representatives, nancy pelosi, her husband, paul pelosi, has done a series are directly related to the chinese government and are part of the fact that the chinese are trying to curry favor with high ranking politicians in the united states. you can add dianne feinstein, her husband has been doing deals for 25 years on mainland china and has benefited from private meetings that senator feinstein and her husband had with the highest levels. look, the bottom line is, the chinese government has had a strategy. they've used it in australia, new zealand, singapore and they're going to try to use it in the united states as well where they effectively decapitate our political leadership by giving sweetheart deals to family members of our political class, neutering them, making them less critical of the chinese government and the question is are we going to do something about it or are we just going to let it pass. maria: this is all very disturbing, peter. it's great to have you on this morning. i commit to my audience right here, right now, that i will not let up

republicans believe nancy pelosi could have taken a deal months ago. >> she did not want to give presidentrump a win and meanwhile the american people were losing. the main thing we rejected was a bailout to a lot of blue states who have mismanage their funds, but meanwhile we were asking her to at least let businesses have another bite of the apple and money that was already appropriated. >> the bill provide $600 stimulus checks for many americans, a sizable chunk of the legislation goes towards the paycheck protection program designed to keep businesses afloat. it also extends an eviction moratorium and money to distribute the vaccine. >> who do you think as the vaccine goes to the state. it's to the land, to your arm magically? no, it has to be received, distributed, administered. >> the white house indicates president trump supports the bill. we are still expecting a vote, they just posted with the hold up a computer glitch. dana. >> dana: chad, thank you so much. let's bring in senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who of course was part of these negotiations, and senator, i want you

and speaker pelosi pulled the plug on it. we went forward anyway.ccartney had mccall as the leader and he put out a blistering report listing all kind of problems china caused in the united states. it pegs the question why did pelosi pull back on the china commission and why keep swalwell on the committee? what is going on with china they have a blind eye toward the espionage that infiltrated members of congress who will serve on the house intelligence committee? >> jason: if you look at what is going on in northern california, the greater san francisco bay area. fine fainaru hadianne feinsteiny embedded with her organization for a long time. >> for 20 years. >> jason: 20 years. why eric swalwell was on the committee in the first place is a question they need to continue to ask. we have to walk and chew gum at the same time, sarah, because we have a biden family scandal going on. and the potential appointment of a special counsel. but to hear the media talk about it, oh, no, there is no need over here. why are we bothering with that? >> but the demo
