republican also. so it doesn't really matter, because in my opinion, trump is going to do whatever he wants to do anyway. his agenda is whatever he wants his agenda to be. in my opinion because of the dictator that he wants to be, in my opinion it doesn't matter if congress leans republican or democratic because in my opinion , trump is just going to do whatever he is going to want to do and the people he will have around him are the ones who will dictate to him, not congress or the american people. host: emily brooksrubb stamp shn the house republican? guest: there is a lot of stuff that trouble due by executive order in bypassing congress in not having to wait for consensus are enough to get past the senate filibuster. there are certain things that he will need congress to do, especially if he wants to preserve things into the future and preserve his legacy and cement those into law and is run -- one reason why making the tax cuts richer -- permanent are important to get bypassed and not get agreeme

the republican is trying to hold onto a district that is the most democratic seat held by republicans was the most republican seat held by a democrat. this is the inverse. biden would've carried the district by about 14 points, and so it is an uphill climb for the freshman republican. he's a former nypd officer, a local politician and he's got some strengths, but he's also had some embarrassing stories come out about some personal relationships and campaign-finance spending. he faces challenges. we see him as a slight underdog against laura guillen who also ran against him last time and lost very narrowly but is running a better funded, more supported campaign this time around. so that is new york four. finally pennsylvania one, this is a seat that has bedeviled democrats for a decade or more. it is a democratic leading seat in the hilly suburbs and yet republicans have been able to hold onto it and before then, his brother was able to hold onto it despite it being a democratic leaning territory. we see ryan fitzpatrick at the clear favorite in that race. he faces a democrat named ash

host: jim, florida republican. caller: yes, i'm a lifelong republican.rew up an elected democrat from the labour party, so those are my roots, but i became a republican as an adult because of ronald reagan, like a lot of us. anyway, if there is a mandate, the mandate is a rejection, if you will, of the policies of the last four years providing harris administration and the democratic party. the woke, transgender, promoting of transgender issues. the war on fossil fuel industry, and of course, inflation. telling us it was just transitory. in the democratic party had no one to blame except themselves for this. the mandate would be a rejection of these policies that we lived under the last four years. and i am not a trump fan. i voted for him ultimately this third time, but i debated it and i even told my wife i regretted it when we walked out of the polling place from the early voting. host: why regret it? caller: i am concerned about mr. trump's lack of intellectual curiosity and his own moral purpose to, and now it seems with some of these picks, and i l

because i knew i was republican. i registered republican on my 18th birthday. like i couldn't wait to register. i knew like i was that weird kid, right? i guess. but it made perfect sense to me. but these were the early days of voter data where you could look that stuff up and. so they thought i was was a spy. and so my first, my first. and there are spies in campaigns by. the way that does happen, of course i had no idea. so i walked and wanted to volunteer for my congressman men. and they were like, why would a mexican kid from a democratic family want to work for a congressman who's pretty anti-illegal immigration? like, what's going on. and my first job in politics was to take off stamps from envelopes that had been stamped. they wanted to make sure they wanted to make sure. i, of course, had no idea. thought i was saving the republic right. so i'm like peeling stamps off. and they put me in a storage closet, isolated me from everybody, and i would be there for hours just trying to peel them off perfectly so that congresswoman could use them again. and afte

republicans would do the same local republicans would write the republican national committee and it was largely private individuals. so in the case of the democrats, samuel tilden, who was incredibly wealthy, one of the wealthiest men in america, financed much of his own campaign. democrats had other children. august, belmont, who had long for a long time been the chair of the democratic national committee for horse racing fans. belmont is well known as the namesake for the belmont stakes. one of the races still today, part of the triple crown. belmont was also very wealthy and helped finance these campaigns. so money was becoming increasingly prominent during these campaigns, largely financed by individual sales. there were, of course, no campaign finance laws like we have today. and so an individual could pour as much money as they wanted into a campaign. and large that money would go to help state and local organizations fund their campaigns during the election. okay. now we're going to get into the hard part. sure. november 6th, 1876, here is the popular vote. samuel tilden rece

republicans, i don't know what republicans think happened. whether elon musk spaceship gave them a victory or joe rogan with you delivered a victory. i don't know. i want to hear from everybody. everybody what do you think democrats think happened? >> i have been giving democrats i've a break. a break. i have tried to reach out to a few. i don't know they have answers. in reaching out it is not an regio accusatory way. neither if they are sharing polling numbers, that weren't surly accurate although we can talk about that as a separate question. fairly accurate also it would with certainly was not intentional. really media i don't know they have answers. in the immediate aftermath, the they didn't really have any harris campaign you might have seen did not have any guidance for surrogates. i don't think they really know. really no in their mind or in there their power they did our everything in their power. they were putting people on buses in new york to go to philadelphia. they had the operation running. it was not sufficient. if they do th

republicans were just shocked.ean, you know, being under investigation by the chamber's ethics committee. you know, we learned about this report that was supposed to come out within a week. it just kind of sent shock waves across washington. i think bigger picture, it's, once again, raised questions about is this second trump administration as some people have projected, is it going to be any more professionalized than his first? and, you know, with these most recent round of picks, the concern is that it's not. >> gaetz's can't be overstated how disliked gaetz is on the hill and including fell republicans. if he is defeated, maybe it allows the rest even with suspect qualifications to get through. white house reporter for politico, maya ward, thank you for being with us on a jam-packed show. we appreciate it. >>> next up, president-elect trump made a comment yesterday about a possible third term and house democrats are already taking steps to make sure that is never a possibility. >>> plus, we will be joined by a

republicans know this is coming. and so in the face of that oncoming change, republicans took this bill, making various changes to the laws of dentistry, they took the laws of dentistry bill and they turned it into something very much not that. which is probably good news for drunken dentists. bad news for mannequins. but it is also -- it is also really big news, big audacious news for what republicans are apparently trying to do in north carolina on their way out the door. this is footage from the north carolina state legislature, people being cleared out of the gallery in the state legislature for protesting against what the republicans are trying to do with this bill that started off a dentistry bill and that has turbed ed turned into something more radical. they took the laws of dentistry bill, gutted it, took out all the dentist stuff, they decided to call it the hurricane relief bill, you remember all the horrible storms in western north carolina right before the election, they said it would be their hurricane

the presiding officer: the republican whip. mr. thune: mr. president, last tuesday, the american people spoke, and they spoke decisively. they made it clear they've had enough of the failed biden-harris-schumer agenda and chose president trump and vice president-elect vance to lead our countries, along with republican majorities in the house and senate. i congratulate president trump and vice president-elect vance on their tremendous victory. it is difficult to overstate what president trump did from in election. republicans have improved our margins, in three out of every four counties in the united states and grew support with nearly every demographic group. president trump won more hispanic support than any republican president ever before, and younger voters played a crucial role in his victory. the republican coalition is broad and strong and growing. mr. president, the american people handed president trump and senate republicans a decisive victory, and now the real work begins, delivering on our agenda. that starts with ending the bide

the newly elected republican -- sen. thune: the newly corrected republican conference chair is senator tom cotton. sen. cotton: i'm grateful for the confidence that my peers placed in me. we all remember what it was like when president trump was in office and we had republicans in charge of the senate we had low prices. we had high wages. we had a secure border we had a strong military. we had a peaceful, stable world. starting january 3, that's what we'll be working to build again work president trump, with mike johnson and the rest of the house republicans on behalf of the american people. thank you all. sen. thune: the newly elected republican policy chair is the senator from west virginia, senator shelly moore capito. sen. capito: thank you and congratulations to senator john thune, he'll be a strong voice as he has been in the past as the whip, i look forward to serving with him. i want to thank the others who ran we had a strong, healthy discussion. we've all come out united and friends. one of the people that was

one week ago today americans elected a republican president, a republican senate, and a republican housea mandate for change. a mandate for more affordable cost of living, secure borders, less crime in our states -- less crime in our streets and a return to american dominance on stage. a man made to put america first. i have always said we run to win and we win to govern. voters gave us the winds we asked for. now the time for governing is here. the speaker and majority leader put together an agenda that will allows to hit the ground running and begin delivering on president trump's america first agenda. as the whip i will work with every corner of our conference to ensure every voice is heard, every constituent is represented, and we get these policies across the finish line. our members have worked hard over the last two years to show what a house majority is capable of. we passed legislation to lower costs for families, secure our borders, and reverse the damage the harris biden has inflicted on our country, all of which collected dust on chuck schumer's desk. now that we have the tri

republicans know what is coming. in the face of that oncoming change, republicans took this bill, making various changes to the laws of dentistry. they turned it into something very much not that which is probably good news for a duncan dentist and bad news for a manikin. it is also really big news. for what republicans are trying to do. this is footage from state legislature of people being cleared out of the gallery for protesting against e republicans are trying to do. it turned into something more radical. they took this bill and decided to call it the hurricane relief will. they said it would be the it changes the state government. they will have their power stripped away. the governor of north carolina will no longer be allowed to appoint judges as he sees fit. under the bill he will be required to appoint judges that have been approved this explicitly by the state republican party. they have to approve the democratic governors judicial pics. the attorney general will not be allowed to oppose anything that is d

secretary of education cardona received 14 republican votes. secretary cardona supported mandatory covid vaccines for schoolchildren of all ages. he doesn't believe parents should have to have any say in their children's education. it's up to the teachers. he has also directed his department to destroy -- and i will repeat, destroy title 9 and allow men to compete in women's sports. in my opinion, that is a total disgrace. and he had 14 republicans who eliminate he for him here on this -- who voted for him here on this senate floor to confirm him. secretary of interior deb h haaland received several republican votes. many senate republicans had no issue voting to confirm these democrat nominations and that is their prerogative. even though many were unqualified, radical and in some cases completely out of their minds. i'm not going to get into that point. but yet many republicans have been quick to voice concerns about the competency and qualification of some of president trump's picks. it makes no sense. i've heard concerns about nominees' per

or republican women. or republican women. >> why wasn't the gender gap bigger? the republican meaning women came home -- the same kind of women who had not been there for republicans in the way they should have been, came home to the republican party. ok, sean? what do you think democrats think happened? >> well, so kind of like the stages of grief, and right now, there's anger and denial and both parties go through it after a tough election last what i am seeing is a lot of falling back on the narratives that have really defined the democratic party really since obama, you know, that it is about race, it is about gender, and it is tough because i do not deny that there's racism and sexism in america and a lot of it but that is more or less a constant. it's not like it all of a sudden pops up like, hey, this is the election where it matters. i think you need a better story to tell and it denies the obvious things in the face. joe biden had a 40% job approval. presidents do not win when they have 40% job approvals. she was the vice president in an administration

they are hoping republicans zoom in again. this is michelle steele, the republican incumbent here. this race is now moved inside of one point. still votes to come. republicans hoping very much to hang onto this one. trying to give themselves any kind of a pad. this is an exceedingly narrow majority. another opportunity for republicans hanging onto a seat. could the republicans get this count up to 221, 222? that is where they would like it to land. that is where it could land. it doesn't take too many absences or surprise vacancies. and things could get very tight there very quickly for a mayorty like that. >> and you have two people the president-elect wants in his cabinet. let me ask you steve. obviously the margin will matter potentially significantly with nine yet to be called. i didn't know whether or not having one called in california had been in california. if that is a sign more could come in quickly. if you want to venture any kind of guess about when we might actually have a final number. there was someone who said we would have it by thanksgiving. we are all in. in unch

what we are noticing a lot of republican open seats, and there are 23 republicans who opted not to seek reelection this year, is the direction that republicans are headed overall depends a lot on who comes through the primaries. there are open seats work candidates allied with trump ended up availing and people like brandon gill in texas 26th district, and we saw districts with more conventional conservatives who would have fit in the party in the pre-trump era prevail. people like julie put your check -- padorczack in north dakota. host: james in north carolina. caller: it reminded me when you are getting so excited about how much the democrats have outraised republicans. i was wondering if you care or if you thought about all the money people like george soros that hate our country and is really a bad guy that funds the democrat party in these deeply states -- deep blue states where they burn their cities down in 2020? this morning i saw on the ticker thing speaker johnson said there are serious issues with the democrat party taking money from our adversaries. the democrat people are

this republican team is united. we are on one team. we are excited to reclaim the majority and get to work with our colleagues in the house to enact president trump's agenda good we have a mandate for the american people. not only to clean up the mess left by the biden-harris-schumer agenda but also to deliver on president trump's priorities. we will make sure the president and his team have the tools and support they need to enforce or security laws and remove the criminals who are wreaking havoc in every one of our states. we will work to make america prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning costly biden-harris regulations. we will work to restore american energy dominance. not just our energy security but energy dominance which will lower costs and bolster our national security. i'm excited to get to work with this team right away and i want to thank my colleagues who place their faith in me to serve as leader and those who are supporting another candidate, i promise to be a leader that serves the en

not a lot of republicans. enough to measure and they are moving and have been moving since 2016 to the left. what is fascinating is a republican whose been working in voter groups for decades is culturally for clothes for republicans and bring them home on voting day on tax cuts and free market measurement and a lot of them specifically women who say they are pro-choice and pro-life party and i'm not comfortabl' with it. tax cuts come on, tax cuts and they come back home to support tax cuts. that changed in 2020. we doubled down exclusively. he never saw a tax cut he was all culture culture culture. we were shrinking those college educated women. the exact reverse is happening with the working class as the education divide as theyti callt reshapes the contours of the country. those with a college degree are rapidly consolidatingda under te democratic parties banner and those are equally consolidating under the republican banner. the divide is getting bigger and it's manifesting not just in terms of the economi

democrats have to flip five republican seats, but the problem is republicans are leading right now inf the democratic districts. democrats are leading into of the republican districts. so, the math is collocated for them to get to the magic number of 218 votes with democrats. that's where republicans believe once again they can hang on to power, and if they do hang on to power it will be yet another very, very tight majority, a razor thin majority. the speaker of the house mike johnson assuming he is elected again, the speaker of the house will have very little margin for error. that is complicated. republicans, the majority and the last two years, how that be different if republicans had the house, barely had the senate, barely, and also have the presidency? that would be a big question. in the senate republicans have 52 seats at least. they may have added one more, pennsylvania, that seems it could come in their column. dave mccormick is leading in that race right now. there is still outstanding provisional ballot that need to be counted , that potentially looms, the seat held by a

in the new republican senate. a little different from the house where you need a majority of all members to become the speaker of the house so getting to 218 can be a much more herculean task then it is in his newly configured senate where it takes 27 votes and he had a couple more than necessary, the read from hans nichols, what do you make of this? >> the margin matters. it's a significant margin it shows john thune is going to be leading are united conference which he and john cornyn did not have many substantive differences. i don't want to see a beauty pageant a popularity contest but members like john thune. cornyn had backers too. he has a united conference. everyone is on the same page policywise. it is their job to translate donald trump's agenda into legislation he can sign. there may be rough spots around the edges and disagreements but broadly and directionally everyone is pointed in the same direction. neil: i think donald trump had wanted a quick yes or no, automatic approval from the now majority re

what most republicans do around here is to accommodate and rationalize.layed the clip of a republican member of congress saying when donald trump tells us to jump, we ask how high. we do one thing around here, which is to pledge to uphold the constitution, which says we are in opposition to the executive branch and the president of the united states. so you already see the excuses and the rationalization s being made. here's another way of thinking about it. i think that the president- elect has already pulled more people from the house of representatives than the republicans have as a majority. so there's some possibility here that there will be a conversation between the speaker and trump and maybe this matt gaetz nomination gets rescinded. if they take stefanic, waltz, and gaetz, they're no longer in the majority. i think there's a couple of possible checks to this run away train. >> thanks so much. appreciate very much. coming up, we have new details emerging on the private meeting at the white house today between president biden and president-elect t

bush has been reelected and the republican has a republican senate. a government trifecta and even with that and the political capitol he gained in the reelection and the takes afterwards of how america hates the libs and republicans are ascending, he could never even get his plan to privatize social security to a vote on capitol hill. didn't get a vote. because it was so radioactive. it was an unpopular idea that no one had asked for and no one really voted for. that 51% of the country who voted for bush, they weren't say please, privatize social security. outside of the heritage foundation, of course. that fy contributed democrats taking back the house and senate in 2006. i think you can see where i am going. there's something brewing similar. with donald trump. something similar that recalls what happened. the president-elect played out something in a video yesterday regarding his plans which are embodied in project 2025 on how he will essentially overhaul the education system, and that plan is to abolish the department of education. it's a goal ve

they elected republican president, a republican house and a republican senate with a mandate to get this crisis under control and end the democrats' open borders insanity once and for all. that's exactly what we're going to do. with president trump leading the way our republican trifecta is ready to hit the ground running on day one to secure our borders and ensure criminal illegal aliens are removed from our communities. january 20 cannot come fast enough. now our majority leader, steve scalise. mr. scalise: i thank the whip. laid out the bills we have -- we are bringing to the floor again this week. last yesterday we passed an important bill for our nation's veterans by juan ciscomani named after elizabeth dole. it was good to get that passed out of the house and over to the senate. going to talk about the planning we're doing for january. we got an overwhelming mandate from the votes of the country to number one, reject the far left policy we was seen from the biden-harris administration the last four years. but especially to put the country on a different path. and we laid out during

republican senators on the ethics committee voting against republican senators under investigation. you have seen it happen in the house of representatives on the ethics committee so i believe on december 5 there is a strong chance that at least one of these republicans on the ethics committee will vote to release that report. >> i think there is as well. i went to the floor the day after he announced he was going to name matt gates and spoke on the floor for five minutes which is what we are limited to about the need to release the port. it so happened that my guest, the chairman of the ethics committee was the speaker that day and i noticed that and in my remarks i guided them toward him and the need and importance for the respect of congress to release the report. i saw him the next day in the gym and talk to him about it and he was not exactly sure where they were going to be. he sounded a little bit like he was considering the idea of giving it to the senate so that i think there is a possibility. mike did a good job prosecuting santos but it took eight months to get rid of geo

caller: i am a republican, but i am not going to vote republican. it hurts me so much.rs old. it hurts me because i only live seven miles from the border. i can see the border and it hurts me that trump is saying illegals are coming in, millions crossing the border. it is a lie. and he is doing all these lies. i ask myself -- you're in the country and he is saying all this stuff. he is going to cause violence. so much people hate other people because of him. it hurts me that he is continuing lying so much and that some of these republican people do not open their eyes and see that. i am going to vote for kamala because she has her mind set right. she is not ignorant and stupid like he is. it hurts me. i hope all the republicans open their eyes and look at reality, that you are voting for this guy that is going to cause violence and hate. he just wants to dodge jail because he deserves to be locked up. he has done so much breaking laws and he does not want to admit it. he is scared to go to prison. guest: one of the things that is interesting about this election cycle is

what we have seen is republicans, you talk about early vote, recent republicans winning early vote in arizona, back to normal the way it used to be. republicans winning early vote in nevada, never happened since early vote taken place. >> not who they voted for. >> we see registration numbers, we see north carolina-- >> republicans will be-- >> that is fair. >> good point. before you, especially congressman kensinger, we don't know early votes are coming in and where they are going. it seems policy, but part of the conversation for what motivates voters, it is character, recollection of what happened recently, and rhetoric and what is being said. when you look at his comments from today, congressman, the idea of someone could shoot through reporters to get to him, he shouldn't have left in 2021, talks about that as well. how do you think that is weighing on voters' minds in places where they traditionally would not have been looking at democrats? >> everybody's mind is basically made up at this point but that doesn't help donald trump. look, some of his base loves it because it is lik

january 2017, president trump takes office for the first time and he has a republican house and republican senate. if things hold the way they are trending, that is a situation that we will be income january 20, 2025. and there are already a slew of discussions happening about budget reconciliation. this process where the majority party can push through legislation and avoid a democratic filibuster and push through legislation with a simple majority. they struggled with that in many 17 with trying to repeal obama care and that failed by one vote. they were successful in terms of pushing through the trump tax cuts. they are going to be a renewal of trump taxes at the center of any sort of budget reconciliation package that we see moving forward along with a lot of discussions about some kind of border security measure. president trump has made order security and mass deportation a priority. there is a question of whether that could survive the budget reconciliation process. there will be a lot more written about that aspect in the days and weeks to come. host: our guests, dave weigle and sc

there are republicans who may have some concerns. he said they have an advise and consent rule but he quickly made it clear that they'll do everything they can to process them quickly. so maybe consent more than advise. let's bring in manu raju. he was there at this press conference. he said that they expected cooperation from democrats. they don't actually need it by the numbers. it is hard to see on some of these picks, that they're going to get it. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. they could have up to 53 seats in the senate, assuming pennsylvania goes their way. that means on any nomination cabinet pick, any down the line, he could get 50 votes. he could lose up to three. for the most part, we expect that to happen on. some occasions, that will be an issue. the question will be what donald trump actually meant in terms of going forward on recess appointments. that's something that he could do if the senate goes into an extended recess. essentially, bypass the entire process. he does believe it plays an advise and consent role eve

republican commissioners. republicans in charge of the place.he republican nominee for vice president starts talking about these haitian migrants who are there. we were met with the things that were said about what those migrants were doing. and you had republican leadership of that area pushing back against their own party's presidential nominee. peter the kind of republicans who were a little bit upset with the way the trump campaign was behaving towards that issue and towards the town. from my visit and my reporting there. this is such a perfect two callers to have back to back. you have these trump voters who respect a guy and they are very motivated by the immigration issue and you have these other folks who are maybe conservative. have been republican in the past who just can't get on board with some of the rhetoric and the ways trump operates. this can end up being a huge part of how the election plays out. how can we have -- how many we have of our caller from tulsa and how many have -- how many we have from ohio. peter: greta. what do y

the republican coalition is broad and strong and growing. mr. president, the american people handed president trump and senate republicans a decisive victory, and now the real work begins, delivering on our agenda. that starts with ending the biden-harris border crisis and deporting illegal immigrants. also at the top of the list is strengthening our economic and fiscal future. the last four years of democratic inflation have been very difficult for working americans. republicans will be focused on doing everything we can to expand economic opportunity and increase growth. that starts with taking action to preserve the tax relief republicans delivered for americans during the first trump administration. it's also time to check the bureaucratic machine here in washington, d.c. a key element of making america prosperous again is taking a hatchett to the leg -- to the regulatory apparatus choking our economy, starting with the 1,000 biden-harris regulations that cost americans nearly $2 trillion. of course, a major focus of both the trump administr

um, so the republicans have 53 seats in the upcoming center. and i was speaking to one republican, a few weeks before the election, who was talking about the kinds of nominations that donald trump would be able to come up with and. and the more controversial once he said, you would need $53.00, maybe $54.00 seats in the senate to be able to overcome the possibility of republican defections. so we're kind of just on the edge that, but i think matt gets, is just about as controversial a pick as you could potentially come up with for the, for the incoming administration. so we shall see. but that have already been quite critical comments coming from, for instance, susan collins, the the senate and from main most of the center. so from alaska, so we shall see. but i think another sign that donald trump is really trying to kind of mix it up with the nominations that he's making for his new administration . and i guess we should have expected exactly that to happen. yeah, realism fire, that's a great image. richard, that we're going to have with the

most republicans are going to think that.t democrats think it will be better if democrats sweep everything. what markets like the most is a relative inability to do stupid stuff. the more one side wins and wins big, the more that side -- capitalism is really good at wiggling around. and going through the roof or democratic egos through the roof, watch what happens. for the next couple months market will do okay anyway, we run through falling uncertainty. neil: good stuff. within two years of the next midterm election, one of those pieces falls off. ken fisher, the best of the best when it comes to investment analysis. meanwhile we talk about ballot issues that are on the table and what is happening right now with some of the key areas where we could see a flip of the house that goes democrat or a flip of the senate that goes republican, depends on the ballot after this. ♪ at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. just quality tools you can trust at prices you'll love. wha

republican. caller: i am glad that donald trump got elected president because he represents family values according to what god says in the bible and i am glad that the unborn have a voice. host: all right. we will leave it at that phone call. we will pick up with another conversation tomorrow morning on washington journal at 7:00 a.m. eastern time. there are several uncalled races in the presidential contest, the senate and the house for the balance of power in congress. go to c-span.org/results for real-time updates on where those races stand to follow along with the balance of power. thanks for watching. >> cpais your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more including charter communications. >> charter is proud to be recognized as one of the best internet providers. we are just getting started. building 100,000 miles of new infrastructure to reach those who need it most. >> charter communications supports c-span as a public service along with these ot
