>> kevin mccarthy has tried in 2015. he has since set his sights on unifying people that didn't like him. so jim jordan who was threatening to challenge him in 2015 is now an ally and he has tried hard to unite all the wings and branches of the republican conference. however that it's hard when you have tried to make friends with everyone and try to push them through onto bill or some sort of must pass legislation. it's just difficult when you try to bring people together in a republican congress that is not necessarily unified on a lot of things.es republicans don't like spending bills, they don't like increasing spending and it's going to be hard for any republican speaker to negotiate a deal with joe biden. and we're going to see kevin mccarthy who doesn't have a relationship with joe biden. 2000 republicans if they would vote for an omnibus if kevin mccarthy came to them and said i need your help getting this giant spending bill through, we've seen other spending bills come through congress this past several years. t

what you see, and kevin mccarthy is his awareness of the polling, right? the idea is, we are not going to talk about it, it is not our priority, but you understand how dynamics work within a political party, and interests and grassroots. there's no way they hold off one of the most powerful parts of their coalition if they get power, do not pass national bushes, right? >> right. of course, that is why lindsey graham introduced the bill to do just that. he understood, he needs to respond to the demand of the ultra maga, extreme republicans for, and national abortion ban. you recounted some of the horrible stories, and the harm, that it has caused two young women in this country. it is horrific. it will continue. if republicans get power, no question, that will move forward. they may not talk about it in the campaign. look at what they do, not what they say. when someone shows you who they are, believe them. >> final question for you, impeachment. again, we don't know the future, but this seems like one of those things that, if i had to bet, and this is kinz

kevin mccarthy. the domecrat agenda is the opposite. you are having to fix everything that they have destroyed and beyond. what is the contrary? have the democrats put out their agenda for securing the border? >> no, they have not plan. you think about this, why to bee we have inflation? there run away spending, not just you warning them larry summers and democrat treasury of secretary warned them, you have ratner who was an adviser to po obama called it original ssin of inflation. the democrat have no plan. we put a plan together. to secure our borders. the responsibility of the federal government, not just secure bo border, but now catches people from american watch list from yemen and others coming to america. mark: joe biden and democrats say that republicans are antidemocracy? they are violent. they cannot be trusted. and they are semi fascist, whatever that means. what is your response. >> he is calling half of america, that this is what i believe elections should be bideas, why don't the ideas put f forth their idea? because they

we are all united behind kevin mccarthy. he came up with this plan, and he will take us back to the majority. with that, it's my honor to introduce the next speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy. >> thank you. first of all, thank you. do you not believe america's exceptionalism? i want to think ray and the whole team. thank you for letting us come in. thank you for what you do you wake up every morning to go to work. he didn't tell you, but this is a 24 hour job. they are working on this each and every day. that's what people dream about in america. to our members back here, we are going to wrought a commitment to america. washington, not washington dc, but washington county pennsylvania. you want to know why? this is about you. it is not about us. we spent the last year, all of our members in congress, going throughout the country and listening. listening to challenges. fighting what the democrats have been doing. we want to roll it out. the entire country, knowing exactly what we believe. if you trust us to give the ability

that's where kevin mccarthy will be speaking. jessica dean is working that part of the story for us. so jessica, what do we expect to hear from mccarthy tonight? >> reporter: well, pamela, we are getting excerpts now from what we expect to hear from him, confirming what a source told me earlier that he's going to call on joe biden to apologize for calling some americans fascists. i'll read you part of that excerpt we're getting. he's expected to say, "when the president speaks tonight at independence hall, the first lines out of his mouth should be to apologize for slandering tens of millions of americans as fascists." again, that's an excerpt we are expected to hear from kevin mccarthy, who is here to draw the contrast he wants to paint tonight's speech by the president as divisive. we expect him to try to craft that message, and say that the president is dividing americans, not bringing them together. we also know that mccarthy wants to bring the issues back to what gop members want to be talking about, as they head into the mi

you're looking at live pictures we're showing here of kevin mccarthy standing by. to hear from him, the house minority leader. we're going to bring that to you when it happens. >>> first we begin our coverage this hour with new developments in the mar-a-lago probe. a federal judge hearing from both sides in court today but declining to introduce a ruling on donald trump's request for a special master, at least for now. sara murray has our report. >> reporter: no ruling yet, as lawyers for donald trump and the justice department went head to head in court today over whether a special master should review documents seized at mar-a-lago. >> if the government's case is as they think it is, let's just play it straight. let a special master come in. >> reporter: trump's team saying the mar-a-lago was suspect, according to reports from the courtroom, and argued a special master should pore over materials marked classified. trump lawyer jim trusty described the battle over whether the documents were kept as comparable to a dispute over to an overdue lie b. the judge indica

here is a portion, let's play it back to back, not only did kevin mccarthy talk about it but president biden in front of teachers unions didn't talk about education, talked about politics, here's mccarthy and then president biden's response. >> we can secure our border. we can become energy independent, the price of gas is lower. we can build and education system that has a parents bill of rights. we could be a check and balance, rain in this government going after the individuals. if you believe like us, join with us. this job won't be easy. >> president biden: after opposing, obstructing everything we tried to do to stop progress for the last two years the house in order leader kevin mccarthy went to pennsylvania and unveiled what he calls a commitment to america. we didn't hear him mention the right to choose, we didn't hear him mention medicare, we didn't hear him mention social security. will: an attempt to define the republican party's message 46 days until the election. this is what the fight is about and once i announced republican's want to find the election is a choice in ter

that was unveiled by kevin mccarthy just this morning. and both parties strategies are facing the uncertainty of just what you might drop next in the myriad of investigations into donald trump, his associates and january 6th. we know today that the clock is ticking for the former president and his legal team. they have one week to produce evidence to back up donald trump's repeated attacks on the fbi, including allegations that agents planted records at his mar-a-lago home. he said it again this week. >> the problem that you have is they go into rooms, they won't let them in the same building. did they drop anything into those files or did they do it later. there's no chain of custody with them. >> but now special master raymond deer ri ordered lawyers late thursday, he did this just last night torks account for in court those unsubstantited claims that trump of keeps making on tv. and that's not all the judge is asking for. he also wants trump's attorneys to say whether they think the fbi was mistaken about what evidence was taken or whe

so do you believe kevin mccarthy would be a good speaker? would you discourage other republicans from trying to challenge him in the leadership race? >> sure. look, he is the nf of the polls speaker and spent the time and both the organization and develop the commitment and raise the money. i think he is ready. i think he will be a very, very effective leader, and he will have to be strategic leader to do what we did with clinton. which is maneuver so that the american people got clinton to sign welfare reform, sign a balanced budget, signed tax cuts. those are not things democrats want to but clinton saw his future required him to do it. biden will place the same choice next year. i think mccarthy is the right person to have too, frankly, maneuver against a very left-wing white house. >> bill: just quickly speaker pelosi the extreme maga agenda, america's priority and lined with the politics with lower cost him a better paying jobs and safer communities. some of the reaction from the democratic side. thank you for your time. newt gingrich i

with speaker kevin mccarthy. one, we can get reckless ending under control. -- spending under control. the democrats have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on new government programs, and the result has been inflation that makes it more difficult for you and your family to get by. we need to unleash american energy. that doesn't just mean the price you pay at the pump. that impacts your groceries. it is a diesel powered tractor going into the field at harvest. probably a diesel powered truck bringing those goods to your grocery store. by unleashing an american energy with and all of the above energy approach, we can dramatically reduce the cost of your family's grocery bill. we also need to make sure that we are putting policies in place with government support connecting workers to the workforce. and preparing workers for the jobs of the future. we need to make sure all americans on the sidelines get back to work. if we go and attack this reckless democratic spending and put spending under control, if we unl

folks, kevin mccarthy also talked about, longer health care -- for americans. but look at what republicans are doing, already 148 republicans have signed onto a budget that will cut medicare and social security. already. the man in charge of electing republics -- republicans in the u.s. senate, has proposed a plan to put social security on the chopping block every five years. i know this sounds like -- i really meaning -- mean it. go on the internet and check it out, they have laid out the platform. every five years, congress will vote to either cut, reduce or eliminate social security or make it come back exactly as it is. what do you think is the likelihood of it coming back exactly as it is. you've paid into social security with every paycheck. as my mom would say, god bless his soul. he things waiting five years is too long. he wants to put social security on the chopping block is -- he wants to make congress vote to keep it. think of that, it's not just social security, medicaid, medicare, every federal benefit has two be voted on every year. from scratch.

mark: that is a solid agenda age kevin mccarthy. the democrat agenda is the opposite of this.o because you have to fix everything thefiythiy havee destroyed and beyond. whatyond is the contrary?ra tshave democrat put out their s agenda for securing the border. >> they have no plan, whenthis you think about this why to we have inflation? it was their runn away spending, larry summers,ed democrat treasury secretary warned them and steven ratner an adviser to obamao called it the original si of inflation you look at the border, why do we have that problem and millions of people coming across, why is fentanyl thee number one killer of americans between the ages of 18 and 45, because the democrats have no plan, we put a plan together to secure our border the responsibility of the federafedel government. you are now catching people on terrorist watch list from yemen and others coming to america, what do they haveing planned? joe bideton and democrats say,sa that republicans are antidemocracy. violent. they cannot be trusted. and they are

these are the kevin mccarthy's these are the lindsey graham's. these are the rudy's these are the marco rubio's. and ted cruz's and people who over a four or five year period basically wave the white flag and allowed him to run fairly roughshod over a lot of our institutions. so the working title, this book, as i was working on it, was they all knew better because they did i talked to all of them pretty much one of the defining strains of all of these conversations was there was always a major, major between what they were saying privately, contemptuously, often about the president and what they were saying publicly, which was adulation, which was, you know, complete capitulation, submission, whatever you want to call it. one of the challenges this book, by the way, was finding fun synonyms for like words like this. my favorite, by the way, was the brigade know, the dutiful brigade of republican turd polishers. that was from sykes of the bulwark. i shot him out in the book for being the author of that, but no mean this was the central dynamic of

eugene, has there been more response to kevin mccarthy's speech? the president certainly had a strong one. >> yeah. mika, you talk to people here and they feel like these kinds of things, these kind of details from house republicans on what they would want to do if they were to take over the control of the congress is actually helpful for democrats and this white house to be able to use those things. it's not just the theoretical conversation of what democrats think republicans would do. this lines it out. and, you know, there weren't a lot of details in the plan that the house republicans put forth. that is often the case with these kinds of things. but what we did hear a lot of was a lot of the cultural war issues, doubling down on things we've heard republicans and. conservatives talk about for a really long time, things like abortion, things like more access to guns instead of less, and those out of step with where a lot o party is. we've seen piece of evidence after piece of evidence especially on abortion and dobbs this year that american peo

house minority leader kevin mccarthy blamed democrats today for not tackling the issues. this is in pittsburgh. >> ask everybody across this country, could you afford to give up one month of your wages? one month of your wages. the sad part is these democratic policies has already taken one month of your wages, so now the struggle you have is you're living through 12 months with only 11 months' pay because inflation is so high. >> white house commune cases director kate setfield is with me now. good to see you. we know the cost of things that people pay for on a daily bay dis -- food, clothing, cars -- all up more than they were a year ago. what's your response to what you hear there from mccarthy? >> we've seen incredible signs of progress. inflation has been effectively flat over the last two months. what you see from president biden and congressional democrats is they're advancing an agenda that's bringing down costs that will lower the cost of prescription drugs, something washington has been trying and failing to do for decades, lower the cost of health care, lower y

and kevin mccarthy brought the paddles and resurrected him. >> kevin mccarthy makes a political decision, which is betting on the fact that president trump will continue to have a hold over the base and the party, that he's going to be onof the key fundraising leaders when it comes to future elections, and that there are midterms coming up. that's a political decision and a calculation he makes in the moment. (jet roars, tires screech) >> narrator: as if january 6 and all that came before hadn't happened, republicans made the pilgrimage to mar-a-lago. even lindsey graham was back. >> we see lindsey graham tryin to get back in trump's good graces. and i think that that's symbolic of what's happened te republican party writ large. >> narrator: mitch mcconnell also wasn't done with trump. >> there'll be a lot of talk this weekend about 2024. if the president was the party's nominee, would you support him? >> the nominee of the party? absolutely. >> (chanting): trump won!

we heard joe biden immediately start attacking kevin mccarthy. we're going to continue to hear that from the white house. they want to draw a contrast, and republicans are giving them more specific policies to sort of contrast, and so we'll see, you know, ultimately whether or not it's enough for democrats to make up the gains that they have to do just based on historical trends where the incumbent president's party has responses in the first midterm election. >> even if the breech sound we played from the president, he previewed what they're talking about, medicare, social security and abortion rights. that's where they're going to be drawing the contrast. time is the most valuable resource. we have seen the poll numbers go up. they said he's going to be on the road more. we should know he was supposed to be in florida, but that's been cancelled because of the approaching hurricane. what's the delicate dance here, the latest between the white house and democrats who are trying to debate whether or not they want to stand with joe biden on the cam

tam, what do you take away from the kevin mccarthy message and also looking at the democrats and the legislation they are trying to get passed in these final weeks? tamara: kevin mccarthy cannot put out a document called the commitment to america that says realistically what a republican majority in the house will be able to accomplish, which is without a president to sign their legislation, if they are in the majority, they can pass message bills potentially, if he can wrangle his conference, and they will be able to investigate. the one lever they will have is shutting the government down or threatening to shut the government down, which is what we lived through in 2010 and 2011. that is more likely to be what it actually looks like. investigations and brinksmanship over the budget and funding the government. in terms of democrats and what they are trying to accomplish, they have been trying to work on a couple of areas, reforming police and police reform. and this electoral count reform. this would be the one piece of legislation to come out of the january 6 hearings. the one effo

maria: that is what with kevin mccarthy said as well, not signing on to anything in the house. unless there is money for the southern border so this is going to be, a nail-biter see where this goes you mentioned covid emergency you filed a motion will force senate vote on ending the national declaration do you expect democrats to join you a week ago president biden said this, watch. >> is the pandemic over? the pane pandemic is over we still have a problem with covid doing a lot of work on it, it is the pandemic is over if you notice no one wearing moofksz everybody seems in pretty good shape, so i think it is changing. maria: so, senator can you explain that the pandemic is over yet still wants emergency money for covid. >> certainly the president continues to talk out of both sides of his mouth, just cannot connect the dots, he is likes donald trump quixote fights windmills covid is wind middle school yuksz declaration of emergency to shooedz power ethics is a king to justify inflationary spending to enforce unconstitutional mandates, mask mandates forgive student loan what h

these are fringe people, and kevin mccarthy gives these fringe ideas his stamp of approval it's then going to be not just a fringe republican idea, it'll be mainstream republican idea if he gives it that approval. it's a dangerous game to play. >> aisha, to jason's point, it's a dangerous game to play. it's one thing to be in the minority and spread these dangerous lies but these people will have a major influence on policy. they will have a major influence on the functioning of our government. budgetary control to oversight to being able to investigate and it's just absolutely a scary moment to think that these not jobs will have this type of authority if in fact they retake the house? >> a man. thank you for calling them what they are. their complete crazies, they are not jobs. and all of this is so asinine. the fact that we would even be having a sane conversation right now about these conspiracy theories taking over our government is the problem. just look at how they did liz cheney for a minute. who by a democrat and any stretch of the information imagination, liz cheney ain't o
