you all point out to me a lot of long time, i've never quite seen a republican congress or any congress act like this. this spring, maggie, republicans brought us to the brink, threatening to fall on america's debt for the first time in over two years. and would cause a gigantic world crisis. it would help us at home and abroad, but we reached an agreement. we shook hands. he said. here's the deal. well, now this for the magic extremists once again. and brought us to the brink, this time to government shutdown and going back on the deal they made months ago, not keeping their word enough is enough is enough. this is not that complicated. the brinkmanship ship has to end and there should be another ship. there shouldn't be another crisis. there's no excuse for another crisis. consequently, i strongly urge my republican friends in congress not to wait. don't waste time as you did all summer. pass a year long budget agreement. honor the deal we made a few months ago. we have the strongest we have the strongest economy in the world today. the strongest economy in the world today, and more t

congress at the 11th hour. we understood was the republican chairman and i met with our leadership team in the house that we needed to create the time and space every member of congress to read the bill and be able to come to an informed conclusion as to what was the right thing to do for the american people. i do not know why uh this bill was dropped on the congress of the 11th hour in terms of what dynamic was going on on the other side of the aisle, but we knew the right thing to do for the american people was to find a bipartisan path forward to avoid a catastrophic maggot extreme republican shut down but to do it in a way we did not undermine the needs of the american people, and catherine, appropriately, made the emotion to adjourn temporarily to create the time and the space for members of congress in an intelligent way to read the four corners of the bill. chairman aguilar convened the caucus to be able to do that and talk through what the provisions of the bill would actually do in terms of the implications for the american people and i was able to spend a few minutes on the house floor. reporter: did you

becoming a member of the house, argued in front of the supreme court, vice-chair of the house republican congress, used to be the chairman of the republican study committee. one of the issues people may not recognize is the role he played in 2020 in terms of supporting donald trump's efforts to overturn joe biden's victory. in fact, it was a critical role. he was the one who drafted the house republican legal brief signed by 126 republicans that supported the texas lawsuit to try to overturn the electoral results of four states. not only did he ask members to play a role in it. he actually is the name on the amicus brief submitted. it wasn't just the fact that he was a lawyer and had constitutional law background made him want to get involved in this. he was an actual lobbyist. from a personal email account of mike johnson sending an email to every single member to the house republican conference asking them to support the brief and also making very clear that trump, quote, said he anxiously will be awaiting the final list of republicans that signed on to review. something that infuriated some mo

i believe it's up to the republican congress to determine their own leadership. it's not up to democrats to save republicans. >> in a moment, i will speak to congresswoman ilhan omar about which way she will vote in the upcoming vote and what this is about the maga wing of the house gop. also this hour, donald trump facing -- his fraud trial starts in new york tomorrow as he deals with the news from georgia. one of his codefendants has flipped. there is a change that impacts millions of people across this country, the freeze on student loan payments and being a summer live on the economic edge. it's also on the verge of a new strike which will be the biggest health care job action in u.s. history. we will have the latest on how that could impact patients in this country. we begin this hour on capitol hill. far-right members of the house have announced plans to oust kevin mccarthy as speaker who, after countless defeats to pass a spending bill, relied on democrats to invent a crisis of his parties. we are joined from julie tsirkin. she's live from the capitol. good

i've been doing this as you point out to me a lot, a long time, i've never quite seen a republican congressany congress act like this. maria: meanwhile, florida congressman matt gaetz says he will try to oust speaker kevin mccarthy this week, gaetz is planning to pursue the motion to vacate the speaker after democrats helped mccarthy pass the short-term spending bill. i spoke with house ways and means committee chairman jason smith about this yesterday on sunday morning futures. >> it's a waste of time if he brings a motion to vacate. the only way a motion to vacate could be successful is if matt gaetz did exactly what he yells at speaker mccarthy doing, that's only way he can be successful is if he has 200 plus democrats. basically gaetz is going to lurk with nancy pelosi, hakim jeffries and the rest of the democrats in order to remove the republican speaker and let me tell you. if you remove a republican speaker, that puts the democrats in power, these investigations will be done and stalled. maria: liz peek, mike lee joining me. liz, let's first take on joe biden looking tough, he's tryi

i've never quite seen republican congress, or any congress, act like this. this spring, maga republicans brought us to the brink, threatening to default on americans debt for the first time in over 200 years. and it was going to cause a gigantic world crisis. we reached an agreement. we shook hands, said here's the deal. now this fall, the maga extremists, once again, have brought us to the brink. this time, to a government shutdown. i'm going back on the deal they made months ago, not keeping their word. enough is enough, is enough. >> a major sticking point is going to be this question of funding for ukraine as it continues in the nearly 20th month of this war after the russian invasion. this is the thing the president says that is essential, and i am told by u.s. officials that there isn't enough money right now to cover battlefield needs and ukraine with u.s. support for a little bit longer. that they will need a funding bill very soon on this to continue the support that they have been giving them over the course of these critical months. that is expecte

i want to bring in a member of the republican congress, congressman bob goode. thank you for joining us. you were one of the eight republicans had a voted to force kevin mccarthy out. it has been 22 days without a speaker. is speaker johnson really that different in his policies, in his politics, than kevin mccarthy was? >> i'll point out by the way, great to be with you. the senate did absolutely nothing during the three weeks that we were working on giving america hope by electing america speaker. about 20% approval because of the past from both parties. we've had for the first time in modern time a extra national contest for speaker where they could say had a they wanted elected. overwhelmingly, they wanted change in the leadership. it was worth taking a few weeks to get it right. as you know, we've also passed four spending bills out of the house. the senate has passed zero even though we gave them three weeks while we worked on getting the right speaker. >> a couple things there. there were only eight members of the republican conference, you included, who v

mcconnell in a closed-door meeting with his republican congress was overruled after insisting that ukraine remain in the package. he was overruled by senate republicans according to our reporting. at the end of the day ukraine funding does have broad support among all of the key negotiators who will be involved in the future funding of the government. that is a very good sign for ukraine funding. the president says he is going to get it done, so a lot of political influence behind getting maury economic and military -- more economic and military aid to ukraine as they wage their war against russia. host: start calling in with your questions or comments. republicans, it is (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. scott wong was up there tracking as that deal was coming together on capitol hill going right to the 11th hour. in the wake of that, we are expecting a motion to vacate the chair this week. scott wong wh how do yo see this playing out and what have you been hearing about this, and if mccarthy is ousted who could unite the conference? guest: we are se

have got amazing feedback, incredible feedback from our colleagues across the spectrum in the republican congress. we've got conservatives, more moderate members, three committee chairman. i feel good about that support. it boils down to those fundamental questions. who can unite our congress? who can tell the country why what we are doing here -- the things we are working on, how it impacts them and their family, that is what we are supposed to do in politics. we are supposed to do what we told the people we were going to do, help them, their families and communities. that is our job. that is what we need to focus on. host: emily, that is representative jordan on the air. factor that into what you might see play out this week. guest: both candidates are pitching themselves as someone who can unite the conference and unify the conference, which is something republicans are definitely looking for. so, jim jordan is an interesting character to think about. getting so much support right now, particularly when you think about a couple of years ago back in 2015 and 2018 when he was challenging house l

middle of all of this , in this desperate hour we are in i want you to know that your house republican congressping into the breach. we are going to lead with principled leadership. we are grounded in truth and will articulate these truths with conviction that you of not seen in a long time. it is what the our calls for and that is what we are going to do. thank you. more important message that i want to deliver to this audience tonight, the reason i wanted to be here is because i want you to know that we are resolved on behalf of israel. and when i say that i mean we share your outrage and we want to do everything we can come at republicans in congress and i think i can speak for almost the whole body, we know what has to be done here. steve scalise mentioned that my first act as speaker was to make official our resolve to stand with israel against the barbarism of hamas and its accomplices. but i want you to know -- yeah -- [applause] it is not an accident that the first resolution was for israel and my first trip was to come and be with you. i want everyone to know where we stand.

be more votes on who will be elected speaker of the house, and i expect that most of the republicans in the congress will vote again for kevin mccarthy come the way they voted 15 times over earlier in the year. >> joining us live from washington, d.c., is a republican political strategist. mike pence lost for words when he heard the news. what was your reaction to the result of this boat -- vote? >> complete shock. i remember watching kevin mccarthy come up through the ranks of the party, and today, where he sits is in a very unique place in history. to be the first ever ousted speaker, not only is it big on the face of republicans at a time when they don't need it, it is truly a moment at which we have to ask ourselves, so much of congress is willing to eat its own. how much of this republican caucus is willing to do the work of donald trump to blow it all up before it gets the results it wants. right now, what we see kevin mccarthy suffering from is the same mentality donald trump took to the white house, which is the "i alone can fix it" attitude. even though democrats crossed over and helped mcc

also ahead, a republican member of congress joins me as her party struggles to find a new speaker of house. ♪ >> john: as america's closest allies in the middle east goes to war with hamas, the u.s. house is unable to show official support because of the speakership vacancy. jim jordan may have thought he was close to eating the stalemate while he earned the gop nomination, a majority of republicans, but he still has were to do because he is short of the votes he needs to win the gavel. jordan is speaking -- spending the weekend trying to flip holdouts become joined by congresswoman salazar of flo florida. congresswoman, what are the chances that jim jordan becomes the next speaker of the house? >> only god almighty knows about that but i'm sure that he is working the phones over the weekend and i really wish he could get the 50 or 60 votes that he needs so we can have a speaker on monday or tuesday and continue the american people's business to continue legislating passing the appropriation bills and helping israel. we need to submit a revolution -- resolution that we stand with isr

the republican congress left in chisinau. more than 600 farmers gathered there.rms were on the verge of bankruptcy because they were unable to recover from last year's drought. in addition, european markets are flooded with cheap products from ukraine. all this caused irreparable damage to local agricultural workers. farmers demand government support. if their complaints remain unheeded by the government, they promised to launch further protests in the next 7 days. argentines will elect a president in second round of voting. as a result of the first , none of the candidates received the necessary support. so, next comes sergio massa, from the ruling party and the extreme right-wing politician habder miley. it is interesting that he is the first supporter of argentina joining brix, and he is still leading in the race, although the margin is small, while miley, who has 6% fewer votes, is an ardent opponent of joining the union. which path argentina will take will become clear after november 19, when the country will hold the second round of presidential elections.

republican line. caller: i want to speak about congress. i am republican. i am a staunch republican but i feel bad about how republicans have been running the country, trying to run the congress for the last six months. i have been watching c-span. it is shameful. i agree with the one democrat who said liz cheney is a good person for speaker of the house. i agree with that. i think that would help get things done. host: why so? caller: i think we need to work together. all they have been doing since i've been watching tv is the extreme democrats on one fence in the extreme republicans on the other fence and they keep throwing rocks at each other and nothing gets done. host: aside from liz cheney you think it takes an outside person to achieve that, whether it be liz cheney or someone else, someone outside congress? caller: i don't know, but jim jordan is definitely not the man for the job. he is an extreme republican. he will not get anything done. all he will do is stall everything. we need somebody who will bring us back together instead of tearing us apa

tue: republicans in congress why was that excluded? congress made why was that excluded? tt2 republicans in congress made clear that they were not going to budge on that, and that is something that as you just mentioned, with mitch mcconnell, the senate minority leader, and joe biden, they both see this as a priority for them, but they had to cut the ukrainian funding from the budget to keep the government open. the congressional against the funding, those who want to the current aid were willing to prioritise a shutdown of the government and the us suffering from that catastrophic outcome of yet more dysfunction, they thought that that was less important than ukrainian aid, and that really plays on the sort of isolationist mindset that you see in the republican party today. that you see in the republican party toda . �* , , ., , ., that you see in the republican party toda .�* , , ., ., today. and 'ust before i let you go, this deal today. and just before i let you go, this deal last _ today. and just before i let you go, this deal las

i don't think most republicans in congress want the government to shut down. i think that small group of rebel rousers within the republican conference are ok with that. but the vast majority of republicans, certainly democrats, do not actually want it to shut down. and so there is a lot of pressure to find a deal. goes back a couple weeks to that continuing resolution -- budget resolution. all these problems congress has particularly republican-led houses to pass budgets, pass appropriations, pass spending bills. essentially stems from the fact that they have got, again, these small majorities. they have to be working with a democratic senate. and there is a lot of pressure from back home. it's not simply democratic constituencies that lose out on a government shutdown. there is military spending is a real issue. a lot of these programs help in red states. this is something i don't think most republicans want. again, a small group of members who are ok with it. and are willing to allow it to shut down. most republicans, i think, realize politically it's a bad

caller: you are kind of dancing around the main issue here, which is a problem in the republican congress, in the republican party. you say the specter of trump, let's talk about the reality of trump because what you have here and i know a lot of people like to call him president trump. he is actually now defendant trump. have members of congress who rather than vote for what is right are only concerned about making sure that donald trump allows them to keep their seat. when you start talking about different factions the party, a lot of guys might believe one thing. 10 guys might feel another way but the crux of the matter is you've got 40 or 50 of them who will stand on and they have their own network, they will stand on television and tell you that what they support is a lie and it is documented that it is alive that is 2.5 years down the road. when you start talking about picking a speaker, there is no hope for them picking a speaker. guest: it is an indication of the divisions i am talking about. you have anywhere from ultra maga to the quintessential northeastern moderate. there are

i've never quite seen a republican congress or any congress act like this this maga republicans brought bank threatening american debt for the first time and over 200 years. it's going to cause a crisis. at home and abroad. we reached an agreement. we shook hands. here's the deal, the maga extremist once again brought us to the brink. this time to a government shutdown and going back on the deal that they made months ago they're not keeping their word. enough is enough's enough this is not that complicated. it has to end. there should be on the shouldn't be another crisis. there is no excuse for another crisis, consequently, i strongly urge my republican friends in congress not to wait. don't waste time like he did all summer. past the year long budget agreement and honor the deal we made a few months ago. we have the strongest economy in the world today. the strongest economy in the world today we are the indispensable nation in the world. internationally and domestically in terms of our economy. so let's act like it. let's act like it. and stop the games. get to work. make sure the am

to become the nominee of the republican congress which is half of the congress. presumably, one of them should be able to get there. some in the conference are trying to change the conference rules to require 217 to move to the floor. that would draw this out in my opinion. that would take a longer time in the second, as i mentioned earlier, that is a high bar. host: why do some want to get to 217 behind closed doors before they bring the vote to the public on the house floor? guest: the argument there, they do not want a redo of january. when they had vote after vote and mccarthy could not become speaker and lead to negotiating with the holdouts. and he made the deal which included the one vote to vacate and we saw what happened last week. republicans want to avoid a repeat of january. host: will this vote take place on wednesday? guest: the internal conference vote would take place on wednesday. whether or not we see a vote on the floor is a lot more questionable. the cabinet seems to have close to 217. it will take a little for them to get to that number. host

i never quite seen a republican congress or any congress act like this. is maga republicans brought us to the brink, threatening to default on america's debt for the first time in over 200 years, and it would have caused a gigantic world crisis, both home and abroad, but we reached an agreement, we shook hands. said here's the deal. this fall the maga extremists once again brought us to the brink this time to a government shutdown and going back on the deal they made months ago not keeping their word. enough is enough is enough. this is not that complicated. the brinksmanship should end. shouldn't be another crisis. no excuse for another crisis. consequently i strongly urge my republican friends in congress not to wait. don't waste time as you did all summer, pass a yearlong budget agreement, honor the deal we made a few months ago, we have the strongest economy in the world, today, the strongest economy in the world today. we have more to do, but we are the indispensable nation in the world. internationally and domestically in terms of our economy. let's

i've never quite seen a republican congress or any congress act like this. >> reporter: the president urged lawmakers to keep their commitment on aid to ukraine after it was abruptly dropped from the final package. the stopgap measure only funds federal agencies for 45 days through november 17th and includes $16 billion in relief for communities hit by natural disasters. >> the bill is passed. >> reporter: the bill passed the house and senate late saturday with overwhelming bipartisan support. congressman matt gaetz blasted house speaker kevin mccarthy for working with democrats. the florida republican accused the speaker of reneging on a pledge to rein in spending and threatened a motion to remove him from the speakership this week. >> we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy. look, the one thing everybody has in common is that nobody trusts kevin mccarthy. >> can you survive? >> yes, i'll survive. this is personal with matt. he's more interested in securing tv interviews than doing something. he wanted to push us into a shutdown. bring it on. let's get over wit

members of congress cut over hundreds of thousands of dollars in order because they lost -- their businesses lost money. it was a worthy program, let's be clear. some of the same elected republicansers of congress were strongly opposed got hundreds of thousands of dollars of relief for themselves to keep their businesses open. several members of congress got over a million dollars, and all those loans were forgiven. the hypocrisy of this i find stunning. i supported that program and i support the student debt program. my administration will continue to use every tool at our disposal to help ease the burden of student debt so more americans can be free to achieve their dreams. it's good for our committee. it's good for our country, and it's going to change their lives. thank you very much. >> speaker mccarthy, then speaker mccarthy said the two of you hadn't spoken directly in a long time. why is that, and are you committed to engaging more regularly with the next house speaker? >> we had two agreements. we shook hands on, and i assumed he was working with the -- i know he was working with the democrats in the house and senate. it wasn't for me to do anything. if he wanted to talk

tonight, republican congress person mariannette miller-meeks says she received credible death threats a barrage of threatening calls, since she switched her vote in order to oppose jordan in round two in voting today. and she had it, one thing i cannot stomach or support is a bully. we are going to unpack that right now with michelle goldberg, opinion columnist for the new york times. michelle, first of all, republicans speaking out against belize is slightly cold comfort, given who the titular, the sort of nominal head of the party is. >> right. although i guess it's impressive in that the moderate kind of quote unquote moderate wing -- will pass for moderate republicans -- have been so incredibly spineless that, i think, most people expected him to fold. they thought that they would fold on the first vote and now it seems like, increasingly, like the attempts to threaten them and -- >> death threats! >> right. and the thing is, death threats, in the past, has been very effective in, again, getting the republicans to do the will of the trump base. we saw that, for example, in mckay c

house republicans shouldn't put us back in crisis mode again. we have only 40 days for congresswork around the same house republican recess now, to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, and protect the tremendous gains american workers have made over the past two and a half years. shutdown would mean troops don't get paid, air traffic controllers won't get paid. there will be all kinds of problems at airports. loans in small business would be delayed. house republicans, it's time to start doing your job, continue the progress, grow the economy, invest in america, invest in the american people. so, let's get to work for the american people. they're waiting, and they're watching. we've got to get to work. thank you all very much. >> what are the prospects for a meeting between you and president xi of china in san francisco next month? >> there is no such meeting set up, but it is a possibility. >> mr. president, former president trump endorsed congressman jim jordan for house speaker. could you see yourself working with congressman jordan if he is the next speaker? and do you hav

i've never quite seen the republican congress or any congress act like this. epublican group has brought us to the brain, defaulting on american debt for the first time in over 200 years. that would've caused a gigantic world crisis. at home and abroad. here is the deal. this maga extremist group brought us to the brink of a government shutdown and going back on the deal that they made months ago and not keeping their word. enough is enough. this is not that complicated. this has to end. there should be another -- there should not be another crisis, there is no excuse for another crisis, i strongly urge my republican friends in congress not to wait. do not waste time, it is still summer, past a year-long budget agreement, we have the strongest economy in the world, today. we are the indispensable nation in the world. internationally and domestically in terms of our economy. let us act like it. let us act like it. stop the games. get to work. make sure that the american people and our allies and friends around the world know what we are doing. thank you. >> spea

the leadership of our speaker, this team and more importantly all of the members of the house republican congress. we get the job done and we deliver on behalf of the american people, keeping the government opened and importantly continuing the appropriations process to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars despite house democrats attempts to delay, obstruct, and even pull the fire alarm to stop the important vote from happening. we continue to stand up on behalf of the american people. despite being underestimated every week, we will continue to get the job done on behalf of constituents across america. i will turn it back to speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. speaker mccarthy: i was really appalled watching the democrats actions today. to delay it to get to a shutdown. so, when we found that an individual elected to congress would fall a fire alarm, that is a new low. we watched how people have been treated if they do something wrong in this capital that's capitol. it will be interesting to see how he is treated. with that, i look forward to your very open and optimistic questions you have bee

there is pushback in certain client -- time -- parts of the republican congress to that idea.ng if they would be able to pass all the appropriations bills. you answered they would not be able to. they will have to kick the can down the road was another continued resolution. very interesting. clearly he appeals to those on the right. it is interesting he was able to get the votes of those more traditional conservative republicans closer to the center of what the american people want to have done. kaylee -- kailey leinz their reporting live from capitol hill. romaine bostick is about to kick off the close and joins us now. it looks like we finally have a speaker of the house. so they will get some things done. not enough time for a real budget of possibly a continuing resolution and more funding for israel and perhaps ukraine as well. romaine: that's right. it's been a wild 3.5 weeks of a vacancy in the speaker's chair. now the vacancy is finally filled. four candidates they had to go through the ringer to get this. the ousting of kevin mccarthy, the rise and then pulled out of

it is the more moderate not in ideology, but in temperament, members of the republican congress who have been -- >> fact based. >> but they have been rolled time and time again over the course of the last five years. i started covering the trump administration on capitol hill in 2017, asking republicans when were they going to speak up, and they never spoke up. >> remember, congresswoman ann wagner, who was one of these fact-based republicans who on thursday when asked about jim jordan said hell no. and then monday said, she would go along. >> right. >> let's listen in on ken buck. >> jordan. >> brown. >> hakeem jeffries. >> jeffries. >> brownlee. >> jeffries. >> buchanan. >> jordan. >> jordan. >> buck. buck? bucshon. -yard. budzinski. jeffries. burchet. >> congressman buck did not vote, but he will come back and vote no doubt. let's go to dana bash on capitol hill who has some new reporting. dana? >> i think that ken buck asking for his vote and him not being there is an example of some of what we have been talking about, about the sort of parlor games that go on with these relationship

thing that the white house, house democrats, and many of us on the conservative side of the republican congressue is that the thing we have in common -- kevin mccarthy said something to all of us at one point are not -- or another that he never intended to live up to. >> this body is entrenched in a sub optimal path and refuses to leave it. refuses to leave that path. you cannot change if you are unwilling to change. we had every opportunity to change. we were promised change. >> with the democrats driving the physical bus off the cliff at 100 miles an hour, we cannot be content that slows it down to -- to be the party that slows it down to 95 to sit in the front seat. our current debt is unsustainable. we need a speaker, ideally somebody who does not want to be speaker and hasn't pursue that at all costs for his entire adult life who will meet the moment and do everything possible to fight for the country. >> we're proud of the leadership he has shown, we are proud of the manner in which she has been willing to work with everybody in our conference and i believe in this chamber. there is a sec

congress have steadfastly supported ukraine. so there's a bipartisan support from this for the beginning. it's going to continue. we've heard from republicans and democrats in congress and that's what they expect. reporter: on the speaker's future, does the president think the president should help bail out mccarthy? karine: the president was asked this by one of his colleagues and he said he doesn't have a vote and is something for the house republicans to figure out. the president will continue to deliver for the american people. while they are clearly showing chaos and not able to do that, deliver for the american people, he'll focus on growing the economy and the middle class and as it relates to anybody else, as a democrat, that's their decision to make and where the house democrats themselves to figure that out. reporter: the president doesn't have a vote here but surely it's something the white house is discussing with leadership on the hill. karine: we are not. reporter: no conversation? karine: we do not get involved when it comes to leadership conversation that's something to house democrats and republicans in this instance to fig

but this is the nature of, again, the very slim majority that house republicans have this congress. so if just about five republicans decide that they want to oust mccarthy, if all democrats side with them, that could be enough that would likely be enough to confiscate his gavel. but again some democrats are saying well if they decide to support him, they would have to extract some concessions from it. one democratic lawmaker told me if kevin mccarthy wants her vote, he should come ask for it and be aware he'll have to pay a big price. a lot of focus this week is on democrats seeing which way they will lean, as matt gaetz said he will do, brings this motion to vacate. >> that is a lot. michael snell, mika solner, thank you so much, appreciate it. it is going to be another busy week in washington. >>> all right, meantime, the stage is set for tens of thousands of unionized health care workers to walk off the job this week in what would be the largest health care strike in u.s. history. talks with their employer kaiser permanente fell short of reaching a labor deal saturday night and n
