we have seen it happening in what is just on the united republican tons. and here we see that they've continued the involvement of women in the affairs of the nation, pushing the agenda for on doing so. in a manner that is creating major movements that will ensure that the continent of africa is how to grow. but we have also seen that whenever we have conflicts of whatever kind when we have some who are displaced internally. and when we have refugees, when all women are displeased and they do not have the opportunity to grow, then those countries, english. the mistake therefore is this time is not the time is now to involve our women in the development agenda. so that development can be realized in is the time to take the time is now to run away from tokenism, which only allows us to a point to point a few women as being the representative of humanity in the political arena. but in addition to women knowing laws i don't is that use, oh, do you feel permit me to client that what is the most upcoming and stage we have must also ask ourselves how it is that w

it's hard to know exactly what to expect, but he needs more than to just unite republicans. he's going to need all firstly, as i'm likely to happen, that he's going to unite all of his republicans, but he's going to need democratic votes, and the, if he's denounced an agreement, but until he's actually counted those votes, what he really truly has is a suggestion and laura, and so many ways this is a political story rather than a financial one, it's about power the trump is wielding before taking off is can you explain why trump killed the 1st bill and why he might want the debt ceiling eliminated a. 7 that's it. multiple questions. they're all excellent ones. where we're seeing the richard trump isn't in office yet, but we're seeing the return of the trump new cycle. and what really kicked off this the sweetest doozy of a past couple of days. uh was uh, messages from from you on mosque helping to schedule a detail a deal that have been put together with democratic votes. a few, a few things to remember is both how type the margins are, both in this congress and in the incomi

republican party. at the behest of the world's richest man who no one voted for, the united states congress has been thrown into pandemonium. it leads you to the question of, who is in charge? i thought that there was a republican majority in this body. not a president musk majority. we had a bill on tuesday that was the result of a year and a half of work. and which had the input, as i've said, of republicans and democrats. it represented their interests, the interests of their constituents, their concerns, the needs of their constituents. the bill had no such bipartisan -- this bill, this bill that we're discussing right now has no such bipartisan input. this was no deal or no agreement. except for among a small group of house republicans. the bill removed key provisions to limit the power of pharmaceutical companies. that means our prescription drug prices and what happens to the rising prescription drug prices, which families can't get to in order to be able to deal with any illness they have or to save their lives. it removes the provisions to protect snap recipients, people at risk of hunger, from th

what he needs is a united republican party with a strong leader. ng that as a democrat. remember the party in power gets the blame. and the party in the power of the house are the republicans. mike johnson is viewed not just by the left bye bye the right at spineless right now. when you have -- i agree with you, as a democrat and i think americans don't want 1500 page bills. they do prefer 116 page bill. but they also know it was republicans that originally had proposed pay raises. and they also know that republicans on the floor saying this is going to add 5 trillion dow jones industrial average the road in two years to the debt. so that is an issue. he might get numbers and fragmented party. >> bret: it's failed now. we can definitively say. >> the vote is still hot right now. they haven't gaveled it down. if you look at these numbers that delta to get to two thirds they will never be able to make that up on the republican side. 27 republican nos. we thought a handful maybe 10 or 15. there is no way they can get to that again, the vote is still ho

we will move on to what is happening here in the united states. republicanians in washington are scrambling at this point to get a spending bill approved by a vote in the u.s. house of representatives to avoid a government shutdown at midnight eastern time. there had been a bipartisan agreement which was derailed by criticism from president-elect trump and his close adviser, elon musk, who has suggested a new deal. but dozens of republicans joined democrats to reject that trump-backed idea, which included a plan to increase the debt limit. a government shutdown which shutdown federal services and pay for government workers, just days before christmas. white house confirmed some agencies have already begun morning employees of the potential. speaker johnson led a meeting with house republicans a short while ago, some of whom seemed optimistic about the next vote. >> i think we came together. i think speaker johnson did a great job, come the end of the day. i think there is very good communication happening in the white house. which is crucial to our leadershi

investigation that saved this country from having to endure matt gaetz as attorney general of the united states. republican members of the united states senate some of them, a few of them made it clear that they wanted to see the house ethics committee report before voting on matt gaetz confirmation, matt gaetz confirmation did not have a chance. and so donald trump had to drop the matt gaetz nomination because even without the house report being made public, everyone knew. every republican in the house of representatives including speaker mike johnson knew how bad matt gaetz was, and they knew how bad that report was going to be. and as bad as any of you might have thought matt gaetz was, today's ethics committee report and victim "a" prove to you matt gaetz is even worse than that. leading off our discussion tonight is democratic glen ivy of maryland. he's a member of the house ethics committee. he's also a former federal prosecutor. congressman ivy, thank you very much for joining us again tonight. and i want to thank you, again, for joining us prior to the release of this report to talk about what was

that's why it's so important the house republicans stay united, stay laser focused on delivering on aear. >> republicans in the house are clearly not united and it was speaker johnson who led that bipartisan deal. do you support him? he's standing for re-election, should he lead the party if you're saying he was leading in the wrong direction with the 15 page initial funding deal? >> yeah. i do support speaker johnson. i think he's done a fantastic job keeping us all together. it's like feral cats in the house, right. that's a tough job to begin with. the fact that he was able to work with president trump to whittle it down, the fact that he was able to work with elon musk and some of these other folks, other members to find a solution just goes to prove that he's found a way, but there also -- this can't be the norm. this cannot be the norm. that's the reason why i voted against the c.r. this cannot be the norm. we have to get back to regular order and pass our appropriation bills. homeland security is certainly important to us and other things going on in the world. >> because the r

republicans. can't get anything done unless he can pass laws. with such a slim majority gives the senators a disproportionate voice. i think that will be one of donald trump's challenges. can he uniteparty around his agenda or sufficiently to get things through congress? also say, i agree with harold that the reaching out has by and large been pretty standard. what makes it different is that most of these business leaders came out against donald trump. you know, they were pretty well-known to be in the non-trump camp. so that's why it's so interesting and as mollie mentioned, some of the big tech company, you know, suppressed the hunter biden laptop story by the post and so forth. that's what kind of makes it interesting. >> bret: okay. here we go. we are going to do some lightning round winners and losers. want a winner and loser for this week and then a winner and loser for the year. got 30 seconds each. here we go, mollie? >> molly: my winner for the week is the thaad missile defense system was our first successful intercept of a combat missile houthis directed toward israel. my loser of the week is costco which their shareholders asked them to drop their racist and sexist polic

united states. uh well 1st of all, awesome, thanks for having me. um. so the social's, the quality party as a communicator, we ran into the presidential elections against both the democrats and the republicans. um, i would say that there is in the working class among young people in the united states, enormous opposition to the escalating global war to the genocide and gaza, to extreme levels of social inequality. and to both parties of the capitalist throwing away the democrats and the republicans. and there is broad interest in and support for an alternative to capitalism, which is a socialism in terms of the ruling class, mccarthy is a more anti communism man to socialism. is of course, very present to the capitalist oligarchy, their main enemy, trump refers to the enemy within. as the working class of their greatest concern is that the working class and the growth of the class struggle will connect with a program and a perspective that articulates it's real interest. in our view. that is socialism international socialism. and there is abroad support for that. there is deep social anger opposition in the working class. what's the scalar? obviously just it just reminds that i'm show on th

every single time a vote comes up, can the republicans stay united?rent direction, you can't get if from here to there. >> it's a terrible challenge. we've seen it play out over the past two years. it was very difficult for kevin mccarthy, it's been very difficult for mike johnson. it would be very difficult for whomever would be elected speaker of our conference. but at the end of the day, the difference between the 119th congress and the 118th congress is we'll have a republican president, a strong republican president who's very popular with republican congressmen's constituents back home, and that's donald trump. i strongly encourage donald trump to to get on the phone with those phi or six -- five or six members who won't commit to voting for mike johnson, because all this is going to do is delay us. it's going to delay the certification of president trump's election, it's going to delay the start of his first hundred days in office which is the most important time frame of his whole presidency. that's when you get the most done, historically. so

representatives will reduce the republican majority in the house of representatives to exactly two seats at the beginning of the next congress. when stefanik goes off to the united nations, the republicans will have 217 seats in the house and the democrats will have 215. members of the house can only be replaced by special elections. florida governor ron desantis has already scheduled the florida special elections for matt gaetz's seat and for mike walz's seat for april 1st of next year. new york governor kathy hochul will schedule a special election to replace stefanik that. will be a minimum of 90 days after stefanik announces her resignation from the house of representatives, which she hasn't done yet. so for month, the republicans will only have a two-seat majority in the house of representatives thanks to donald trump's strategic blunder of pulling republican members of the house into his administration. so donald trump's going to need pure and just flawless, 100% republican party discipline in the house of representatives. something we have never seen in the entire history of republican control of the house of representatives. because the house of represen
