so a republican house, yes they will pass massive tax cuts for the rich. ill pass the massive national abortion ban for the first time. but with joe biden holding veto power in the white house, republicans will not be able to enact their entire agenda. so what does the house of representatives actually look like with republican leader kevin mccarthy in charge and joe biden in the white house? well, first, there will be a dangerous showdown over the debt ceiling, with republicans, once again, essentially strapping a suicide vest on to hold the entire economy hostage in exchange for massive cuts to social spending programs. i'm not making this up. listen to kevin mccarthy. he all but said so today in his interview with punch bowl news. and a quorum here. and if people want to make a debt ceiling for a longer period of time, just like anything else, or comes appointment in time we're okay, will provide you more money but you've got to change or current behavior. we're not gonna just keep lifting your credit card limit right? and we should seriously sit to geth

it's been my great honor as campaigning chair for house republicans to have met these and a thousand men and women who have come forward to run for the house from across this great country on the republican ticket. it is for the first time in history. fact, there are more republicans running for congress than democrats. that's a real message. but ladies and gentlemen, as you can see today, it's not only important that across this great country, a record number have come forward, but as you can see, they are also the best qualified ever in the history of this country, seeking the house of representatives. now a pleasure to present the last group of presenters who will be making the common sense legal reform act presentation led by jim ramstad from minnesota and joined by greg ganske from iowa. dave mcintosh from indiana. and making the presentation from texas. -- armey we have all texans here today. joe baylor. thanks, guys. and. isn't it time to clean up the court system? frivolous lawsuits and outlandish damage rewards make a mockery of our civil justice system. americans spend an es

assuming there is a republican house, i don't think policy changes much. they may not control the senate, president have a lot of authority. foreign policy -- and i don't think republicans are united on these big issues to cause huge policy changes. i can't really think of an area where there would be major changes. foreign policy would stay on the corset is on. biden has republican support on ukraine. there could be noise that could alarm allies and i think that's unfortunate, but i don't see much of a big thing there. the economy is on whatever course it is on in the fed will do its thing. i just don't see serious legislation eating past. it's not going to get past the senate where most of it needs 60 votes and not signed by president biden. from a policy point of view, if you think things are on a reasonably good course, which i tend to in the big picture policy areas, i think it will stay mostly on that course. i think the chaos will be on the political side coming not the policy side. the degree of performative screaming and yelling in the house, the i

the house republicans only have to win 20% of those to take control of house, democrats to hold on haveof those toss ups, overwhelming thought in the expert space of looking at these races that is that republicans are in a good position in house. in the senate it is in the air with a number of races just a few points behind, in pennsylvania that is a race that we're watching in georgia. and in arizona. and wisconsin. those are you know traditionally states we watch in close elections, they are states we're watching this election. it is going to decide cell control of u.s. senate. trey: despite your o youthful appearance you have been covering politics for a long time, why do americans seem to chose a divided government, they don't want one party with full control for very long that san historic trend for us. >> really, it is. midterm elections are that. the party in power in white house traditionally loses seats in the midterms, just the way we as country have developed. that the administration is trying to get things done, usually a bumpy road in the beginning. it seems like after two

republican study committee budget. they have this in writing. now, houselicans have promised to repeal, as i said, the lower prescription drug costs, raising costs for seniors in order to hand billions of dollars of profits to their friends. big pharma, as i said, big pharma said we're going to pay for lower seniors prescription drug prices. the american people see the contrast and priorities. it's clear, democrats, people, people greater. i love the greater than mathematical -- people greater than politics. lower cost, bigger paychecks, safer communities. so this is a contrast. this is an election, as we come up on it now, not to talk politics, but civics -- this is an election about contrast, nationwide abortion ban, respecting freedom of choice for families. again, kitchen table issues like prescription drugs, lowering the cost of prescription drugs. republicans, wanting to reverse that. the list goes on and on, about where they are on these issues. any questions? no? >> madam speaker, thank you. yesterday, kevin mccarthy told us he essentially feels th

it is a generally expected principle that the republican white house will be -- as a way to fill fox news airtime and sling mud at democrats. the prospect of impeachment, we may want to listen to what republicans are saying that they're planning here. >> i don't know how kamala harris does not get impeached if the republicans take over the house. >> last friday, ralph norman from south carolina and i filed a resolution including impeachment articles for secretary blinken. >> it is time for action! impeach biden, impeach kamala harris, and throw in the secretary of state if you can get him back from vacation. >> these are articles of impeachment on president biden. >> what's good for the goose is good for the gander. i said at the time, when we had a democratic president, in a republican house, you can expect the impeachment proceeding. >> the house of needs to impeach merrick garland, and they need to impeach alejandro marcus, the secretary of homeland security, and we have to have trials in the united states senate on their abuse of power. >> do you expect an impeachment vote against

little on the republican house and senate, talking about his legislative accomplishments, using their names, the american rescue plan and inflation reduction act and semiconductor bill which does not carry well with the voters, i'm worried about the higher price of gasoline, groceries when i send them back to school and the difficulties at work and slowdown in the economy and finally sounded tone death over the weekend, the economy is strong, people have an underlying concern about it and that won't go away with the president saying i've got it taken care of. neil: lots to settle, always learn a lot, appreciate it. karl rove and all that. a lot of people urging the president to engage russia especially with this nuclear talk but how do you engage russia after this? ♪ ♪ ♪ what will you do? ♪ what will you change? ♪ will you make something better? ♪ will you create something entirely new? ♪ our dell technologies advisors provide you with the tools and expertise you need to do incredible things. because we believe there's an innovator in all of us. among my patients, i often see th

a salt on our capital, our constitution and our democracy. 147 house republicans voted to overturn the results of the 20/20 election. 203 house republicans show their support for the dangerous extreme maga assault on free and fair personal choice. we talked about assault on our the third which was part of their rollout and previous . , a historic provision was in . something we've been working on to enable the secretary of health and human services to negotiate for lower drug prices. lowering in drugs, capping preventing pharmaceutical companies from exploiting the consumer by raising prices above the cost of inflation. this exploitation is something democrats have said far will pay for. they want to do that and they called them for slashing and again, somewhat privatizing our social security. we've been down that path before. and ending medicare as we know it is part of this year's republican study committee budget. they have this in writing. now republicans have promised to reveal as i said the lower prescription drug costs, raising costs for seniors in order to hand billions of doll

now, house republicans say that they will recapture the house and it will be because the country is rejecting the status quo on the economy, crime, immigration, education, and more. but speaker mccarthy will also be pressured by trump and others to address issues that are not based in fact. what will kevin mccarthy do? i often think about the time in march 2021 when cnn's own manu raju challenged mccarthy to explain his votes, to disenfranchise the voters of pennsylvania and arizona on january 6th, after the bloody riot based on the lies that incited that crowd. here's mccarthy's defense, in part. >> if arizona and pennsylvania were removed in the electoral college with president biden's numbers low or below 270? >> no, but donald trump said the house could vote -- >> wait a minute. i'm not donald trump. you're asking me a question. i'm answering your question -- let me answer your question since you asked me. so, you gave a premise that's not true. >> donald trump tried to overturn the results in congress, and you support that. >> well, now you're saying something that's not true. let me ans

house. if republicans grab control of the body of congress, they will have subpoena power. nvestigations. they could slow things down for this white house. the risk for republicans, it could be overreach. it's possible the public would turn against them. >> peter, this of this is reminiscent of the impeachment proceedings against clinton. where do you see parallels? >> you know, obviously, one thing we learned about impeachments is that this is so far an inadequate measure to genuinely hold a president accountable if that's your goal. as long as you don't have two-thirds of your party in the senate, the notion you will convict a president and remove him from office, even under the most genuinely outrageous allegations is pretty minimal. it's a political way of attacking a president. it's no longer a tool of accountability, at least as long as the current system prevails the way it does. this would be a way of bringing things to light about president biden. it may even be a way of exposing wrongdoing if there's any. the kinds of things they are talking about for the most part

not a single solitary republican, and the house and the senate voted for it. y single one motor against it. every single one, not only that non-congressional republicans are telling us of the number one priority is to repeal if they win back the house and senate. repeal the republic -- inflation reduction act. that includes things i'm not talking about. including the environment. let's clear -- be clear about that. republicans have to wait it will mean the power we gave to med to negotiate drug prices and other costs over time goes away. $2000 cap on prescription drugs goes away. the $35 cap on insulin gone. savings from health care premiums for millions of americans are gone. it is not inflation reduction act they want to get rid of. they are determined to get rid of the affordable care act. people do not realize and is the only people with pre-existing condition get health care. unless you can afford expensive policies. republicans have their way, that is gone as well. here is bottom line, please hear this. when it comes time to do something about inflation,

house rankings. you have got about 25 seats that lean or are likely republican. ut 42 seats that are leaning or likely democrat. and then you've got 30 that are absolute tossup's. are you making any predictions or projections about control the house? rex i do think unless there is some bizarre event unexpected and that can happen pretty mentioned earlier one especially scary scenario in terms of putin broadening the war. but in general i think it is looking like a republican house. not just the history, not just the presidents pulling level where he is in terms of popularity. but as you mention the issues that are driving the races this year. i think that is the reasonable expectation you will have a republican house. >> on the senate side the republicans were optimistic earlier in the year they were going to be able take the senate. when we look at the senate races there are roughly i'm sorry, 11 that are solid democratic leaning or likely democrat. another 20 that are leaning or likely solid republican. and then you have those four tossup seats. arizona, georgia

if we have a republican house, the next person to take over the white house would be a republican becausei will not be there. host: john gizzi, play that out a little bit. if the republicans take control of congress, what will be the upside and the challenges they face? guest: again, i think you hit the nail on the head, not vetoproof. they will follow the example that their ancestors did in 1995 , when they won the house and senate for the first time in 40 years and had the contract with america. they have an agenda called the commitment to america that concludes everything from decreasing the irs to strengthening law enforcement forces and a hard-line on illegal immigration. they will demonstrate republicans do stand for something. if you agree with it or not, there will be a vote on it. president biden can veto it and explain why. this will set the stage for the 2024 election. host: staying with 1994 and 1995, would there be greater animus between president biden and the republican congress that there was between president bill clinton and the republican congress back then? guest: prob

right now, republicans are running against unified democratic government at the national level, housed the presidency. and inflation is up 8%. the highest it's been in 40 years. so, two weeks out from midterm elections, republicans should have the wind at their backs. and knowing all that, in normal world, republicans would be just staying on message. posting pictures like this one, which is kind of funny, but it makes sense. tweeted out by republican senator, todd young this morning, appearing to pump gas in the middle of the night, while his car is, i guess out of frame. complaining that gas is no longer $2 a gallon. although i would note that gas was that cheap under trump because a global pandemic essentially brought the entire world to a standstill, kept us in our homes, and thousands and thousands of people were dying every day from the virus. so, it's a little odd to be nostalgic for that. i think that would take the four-dollar gas. but regardless, gas prices are relatively high, though they've been dropping for a few weeks. they've been a point of focus for the opposition par

if democrats keep control of the senate will they cooperate with republicans in the house and for thatoters, hispanic voters, voters of all stripes. i hope our politics understands that at our best we are getting people to higher ground. that's what i take from what she was saying. i think she could probably do her better job herself in speaking to those voters. of the body politic has to speak better to these voters. >> bret: to harold's point, marc, in the northeast we saw a shift. crime is driving that. that's not a black issue or latino issue. a white issue. it's every issue. and especially some of those black communities are seeing it more than others. >> absolutely. crime disproportionately effects minorities in a lot of these major cities. it's a big issue. i think what you are seeing in -- we got the new fox power rankings on the election something a few things happening. you are seeing first of all, the undecideds are deciding and cuttings to the republicans. the second thing that's happening is the candidate recruitment on the republican side has been really good. while the d

what is it going to look like in the house if republicans have that sort of control in 2024? and also in the senate? >> well, it's more acute on the local level, because i mean in the house and senate, they are able to obviously certify an election, there is expected to be some tweaking of the certification process in the lame duck session of congress, after the election. and i will say, kathy hochul today, we have this ad in punch bowl news, and it will come out as soon as i'm off television, hochul is running an ad on lee zeldin showing how close he is on donald trump and what he did on january 6th and afterward and before. i will say, this the house will be filled with people, the house republican conference is going to be filled with people who don't believe 2020 is legitimate and three years after 2020, they will still be making this argument. the long term question, the longer term question for house republicans, is can they ever move past that? i mean if they win the house of representatives, what do they have to show for it? inflation is still going to be high. we don'

when the republicans are in power, but the democrats have white house. >> right. u will see all of a sudden biden pivot to maybe his reelect message need to throw everyone out, keep spending more. but you are right, republicans will i think slowdown the spending. and also with debt ceiling and budget force biden to cut more than if it were nancy pelosi and chuck schumer in charge. dana: if it happens that democrat lose house and possibly senate, what are the discussions that happen on democratic side look like. it has been interesting the squad has been very quiet. i assume that is because they don't want to be blamed by the moderate democrats if does go this way. >> they will be blamed but for what they have been doing last 2 and 4 years that are lurking there are still ads run with voices of corey seager and aoc and tlaib saying toy defund police, they will be aired until they are probably no longer in congress, and problem beyond that i think that the main lessons will be about identity politics and perils, i think this is an fair accusation that only democrats

we did also invite the republican house leader to join us. he declined the invitation. be right back. >> thank you. >>> we turn to former fda commissioner, pfizer board member dr. scott gottlieb. it is great to see you. but i have other tough issues to ask you about, including the surge in respiratory infections y hapng an in 33 states. sg so. rge ght inreviru weyply snte summeakight now.this notnl seas last year where we saw an early peak in those cases. some subsubscribe it to the fact that children have been removed from the pathogens. so it's changed the typical cycle for this virus. we're seeing these waves of infection from rsv earlier in the season than we normally would see. for most people this is a self-limiting infection, upper respiratory infection that causes cold-like symptoms. for children under 2 it can be a serious infection. it's especially concerning for those who are immunocompromised or those in the neonatal intensive care unit as well as older adults, elderly americans or people who have other kinds of conditions who put them at risk. >> this is ha

conference, the official twitter feed for the house republican conference, they attacked you. you. and at the time you were working for house republicans on the environment and public works committee or something like that. i know you didn't know about it in real time, and probably by the time you found out about it, they had deleted it. but that must have felt horrible. >> yeah, i thought it was an embarrassing look for them. i was a house staffer at the time, and for them to tweet that out -- they can't claim ignorance. i know people on elise stefanik's team. >> that's the number three republican in the house. >> exactly. they know i was a current house staffer. and i think what was most astonishing to me about them tweeting that out was they tweeted it calling me a liar before i ever even opened my mouth. they didn't hear what i had to say in my testimony. i don't think what i said in my testimony was aproof that i was lying. there was nothing to be lying about because everything i said has been corroborated in the taped testimony that we've seen from my colleagues, that pr

she blamed the clouds to replace speaker pelosi, as leader of the house for, republicans take back control of the house. these are not reasons why one would be inspired to attack paul pelosi. as ally mentioned, in fact it's more about mental illness. what's your reaction to that? >> i've defended her, herself when she's a constituent of mine, which most people don't know. people have gone after. it's not a. i think we are living in a society or community, it's becoming. -- and i think, its responsibility of all of us in our communities, to stand up to fear, hatred when we see a. we are normalizing that behavior. well everybody's focused on the congress this is happening at all levels of community from school boards, elected mayors, city councils. i even need to tell you, michigan state game -- and i stood outside when the michigan state bus arrived. i heard this happen before. but the booing when they arrived struck me as wrong. and the fight that ensued. it's not good sportsmanship. we're normalizing unacceptable behaviors into many aspects of our communities, period. >> and that's the th

republican signal doubt about the resiliency of u. s. support for ukraine. and kevin mccarthy, of course, is the house minority leader. so that means he's the top republican in the house of representatives right now. and as you said, this is an issue that until now has gotten broad bipartisan support. i mean, both parties have been very eager to show that they are firmly behind ukraine. the white house is set on multiple occasions that they see this war as fundamental to us security as well. congress has approved tens of billions of dollars of humanitarian aid at the white house, a cent, of course, billions of dollars worth of military equipment as well. so these comments have raised eyebrows. nicole and i thought it was interesting what the white house said . they were asked about mccarthy's comments and the press secretary, karen, john pierre didn't really address it. and she thanked congress for its bipartisan work and supporting ukraine. and she said, quote, the white house will continue to monitor those conversations on these efforts and support ukraine as long as it takes. so this is the 1st time we're hearing so

i just have to stick it out until republicans take over the house. i'll keep fighting. g to end u.s. support or lessen u.s. support for ukraine and, you know, don't you think it sends a signal like that or at least risks sending that signal? >> well, i do think vladimir putin is, has lost his marbles. i think he is willing to raise the stakes in any way, shape, or form to cause destruction not only for ukraine but other countries. he's now building alliances with china and iran. that is not good for the united states of america either. and we have to project strength on the world stage. i can tell you when i was overseas both in ukraine and the indo pacific region last year, that when we have the kind of division we have in our country today and that is politically especially, we look weak on the world stage. i think one of the reasons vladimir putin feels emboldened isn't because of what republicans are saying they may or may not do. it is because of months, a year and a half, two years now, more than that even, but the divisions that we have and unwilling to work toget

eight house republicans make a big push in recent weeks or so voters on the post midterm plans they callt commitment to america. but as it catching on customer joining us now house republican whip steve scalise of louisiana. congressman will come back to fox news sunday. >> good morning shannon great to be with you. shannon: democrats are put into your own documents to tell americans you are prepared to cut entitlements but here's what the headline is, house gop to side slashing is a new saving. this year's republican study committee fiscal year 2023 budget openly calls for it slashing and privatizing social security. raising the retirement age to 70 and ending medicare as we know it pretty got a tweet from viewer this week that said he is a republican, he's very worried about you cutting his medicare. it is a dealbreaker and the betrayal by the gop so what is your answer? >> the answers at the typical red hair of my democrats it's not something we proposed. in fact we propose strengthening in shoring up security which are both by the way headed for bankruptcy if we do nothing. democrats

so, you know, talk about tone deaf if democrats lose these elections and current republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy takes below the place of house majority leader. he's already said that there shouldn't be a quote blank check for ukraine, for which republican congresswoman liz cheney attacked him as the quote leader of the pro putin way of my party. because you know, if you're actively questioning americans military strategy and ukraine now, well then here with weimer guest, that means that most of america is to then since a quincy institute poll last month, found that 57 percent of americans want washington to engage in diplomacy with russia immediately, even if it means making compromises with moscow. now, romania, defense minister, vacillating, who also said that the way to peace for ukraine is through negotiations, was russia. and now he has resigned over those remarks just a week later saying quote, an inability to collaborate with romanian president. klaus johannes, whose commander in chief of the army. now here are these controversial remarks that he said the wall conti

(soft music) ♪ ♪♪ >>> this is what house republicans are calling their commitment to america. s strong, a nation that's safe, a future that's built on freedom, and a golf that's accountable. those vague platitudes are what the house republican caucus rolled out as a platform last time. the fine commitment to america plan doesn't have anything much else in it. some parts are a little more specific, like ensuring that congress will ensure only people to compete in women's sports or saying they'll protect the lives. unborn children. even that then, the platform doesn't explain how they plan to do any of that if republicans take the house next month. if you look at what they're saying, they're quite clear and their plans are very dark. back in 2011, republicans used the threat of collapse as part of their negotiations with president obama. and now republicans are trying to do it all owe again. today in punchbowl news, republican kevin mccarthy said if republicans take control of the house, he's planning to u.s. the ut debt hostage to fine off on policy changes, quote, we'll provide

pregnancy centers targeting antiabortion activists. >> what you're outlining is the steps of house republicans and voters trust us to take the house back and be in the majority lancaster and each committee of jurisdiction will hold the administration accountable and build the record. my recommendation from a mayorkas clearly not getting his job and he inherited secure border and now 900,000 getaways, millions of pounds of fentanyl coming across the border and 3 million people in the country illegally, he needs to suggest, look for a new job. maria: what you make of democrats think voter backlash is the gop does this? >> we have the obligation to the american people to hold the biden administration accou accountable. if we build the case will have the american people on our side but we have to take it step-by-step. maria: anything targeting biden? >> president biden, let's see what the case is. the trump impeachment mania was wrong done and wrongly handled so we need to do it the right way and the majority. maria: thank you for joining us and thank you for watching, have a good weekend. >> from

that brings us to the most dangerous house republican point yet. in order to force democrats to negotiate on their terms specifically on spending cuts, house republican majority, senate to i think, but definitely the house, will hold the u.s. government and all of us, and the global economy, hostage. they will refuse to raise the so-called debt limit, which is basically a trail accounting authorization. simply allows u.s. government to process that that's already incurred, that's it. they will refused to do that. now, if they bust through it, they don't raise the debt limit, it would most likely mean, like, genuine domestic and global financial calamity at a time of tremendous uncertainty. and when they take that hostage, they will say, we are going to do this unless, unless you agree to voting for enormous cuts to spending, including social security and medicare. again, this is the big answer to the question, okay, we care about the economy, we care about inflation, where republicans are running against the biden economy. what are you going to do a

we did also invite the republican house leader to join us. he declined the invitation. be right back. >> thank you. >>> we turn to former fda commissioner, pfizer board member dr. scott gottlieb. it is great to see you. but i have other tough issues to ask you about, including the surge in respiratory infections in children in 33 states. we're seeing some pediatric units overwhelmed. why is this happening and why is it having such a powerful impact? >> well, look, we've seen the surge right now in respiratory virus we typically see in the late winter. we saw some cases in the summertime and a peak right now. this is not unlike the season last year where we saw an early peak in those cases. some subsubscribe it to the fact that children have been removed from the pathogens. so it's changed the typical cycle for this virus. we're seeing these waves of infection from rsv earlier in the season than we normally would see. for most people this is a self-limiting infection, upper respiratory infection that causes cold-like symptoms. for children under 2 it can be a serious inf

we are very likely to see at least four republican house members african-american. ,four to seven africanmericans. by far, the highest number of african american republicans in the house. finally, hispanics, i think we will see the largest increase. the large, growing demographic. there are 40 hispanic members in congress today. i think we will be close to 50 at the end of the day. 29 are democrats. there will be more democratic hispanic members, a minimum of 30. maybe up to 37. the current 11 hispanic members on the republican side are likely to increase. certainly they will keep nine but i think up to 16. you will see changes. i think changes will be more to the republican side, but you will see underlying changes. >> how much did the reverse coattails of joe biden -- as he was listening to republicans talk and they are thinking about those years for them like 2010, 63 seats. they had in mind at the beginning a big year. part of the reason those numbers do not seem to be in reach is because in 2020, republicans did better than expected and one --won back some seats that they had lost in

in 2019, before covid was even on the horizon, our republican house and our republican senate passed mail-in ballot voting, which was signed by our democratic governor. mail-in ballot voting was new in 2020, although it was unrelated to covid and its arrival. we had about half of our voters vote by mail in the 2020 election. one pennsylvania supreme court case but affected that was because of issues with the postal service presented to the supreme court, they ruled that boards of elections should count mail-in ballots received up to three days after election day. mail-in ballots are due back, by law, by in :00 p.m. on election evening. the pennsylvania supreme court ruled there were three extra days were ballots could arrive, provided they were not postmarked after election day, and that those ballots should be counted. there was subject of much litigation. the number of ballots in question were not significant at all. pennsylvania was decided by more than 80,000 votes. at the end of the day, it did not have an impact one way or another but it was a specific court case related to the

where do things stand in your view about what the house will look like as they enter the january 2023? guest: republican should win the house of representatives because the division between the two parties is five or six seats depending on the recent special election. that is the tightest division between the parties since 1958. republicans made out fairly well in the redistricting process because they are so dominant in state legislatures and governorships and more democratic house members are retiring than republicans, creating more competitive districts. my guess is a republican house by perhaps 20 seats. host: what are the top issues for republican house candidates? guest: i would have to say look at the newspaper headlines yesterday. the inflation and the core consumer price index going off to a 40 year high of 6.6% is going to have an impact on people. that does not even count energy or food in terms of inflation. it is going up in both of those areas. i would have to say that when one realizes it costs more to buy groceries or fill a tank of a car before the election, they are not going to care a
