the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mr. gaetz: this government for far too long has been deeply corrupt. this town has been deeply corrupt. the way people get leadership positions and chairmanships and opportunities to be able to morally preen has been by accepting lobbyist and special interest money and redistributing that money as currency for favors. and that is not a criticism of either political party, it is a crit similar of what we have a-- criticism of what we have allowed to happen in this place. if we just go next man up on our side of the aisle, we will keep that corrupt system and abandon the people who are expecting us to fight for them. i have heard from my colleagues about all the important work we have to do and it is my sincere fear that if we were to allow mr. mccarthy to assume the speakership, that would not get done. that it would be business as usual and the very same things that have par lietzed progress for -- paralyzed progress for both parties would continue to shackle us to never-ending failure. w

the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mr. aguilar: that's why house democrats stand united behind hakeem jeffries. he is the only candidate in this race for speaker who will defend this democracy. only candidate in this race willing to call out the lie that the election was stolen and only candidate in this race that thinks everyone involved in january 6 ought to be held accountable regardless of the positions they hold in power. for justice and truth and in memory of the lives lost on january 6, i nominate hakeem jeffries as speaker of the house. the clerk of the house: the reading clerk will call the roll. the clerk: adams. jeffries. aderholt. mccarthy. aguilar. jeffries. alford. mccarthy. allen. mccarthy. allred. jeffries. amodei. mccarthy. armstrong. mccarthy. arrington. mccarthy. auchincloss. jeffries. babin. mccarthy. bacon. mccarthy. baird. mccarthy. balderson. mccarthy. balint. jeffries. banks. mccarthy. bar r. mccarthy. bar began. jeffries. bean of florida. mccarthy. beatty. jeffries. bentz. mccarthy. bera. jeffries.

house cameras were allowed to shoot on the house floor, which is generally not the case. use our reporters -- you saw reporters talking to lawmakers on camera in areas we typically do not get to. there are a number of rules focused on things that happen on the house floor. there are things like this big rule change that would allow a single gop lawmaker, a single lawmaker in general, to bring a motion to vacate against kevin mccarthy, essentially allowing any lawmaker to call a vote to remove the speaker of the house in the middle of the congressional session. there is a number of other really interesting rules. to name a few, more time to read bills before they come to the floor. it would create -- the republicans would create a select committee, a special committee august on the coronavirus pandemic. another special committee looking into the weaponization of the federal government against the american people, specifically they are going to look at things like the raid on mar-a-lago and donald trump and things like that. a number of things that house conservatives and t

and anthony weiner won his house seat by a much larger majority than george santos won his house. speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi knew immediately that it was her job to deal with the anthony weiner problem. nancy pelosi didn't care that she was going to have one less votes in the house of representatives in the next day. she did what she had to do for the house of representatives, and kevin mccarthy is proving once again that he is not smart enough, and he is not strong enough to do what he should do for the house of representatives. >> he is disgraced the house of representatives and we do not consider him one of our congress people. today, on behalf of the nasty republican committee, i am calling for his immediate resignation. >> leading off our discussion tonight is hunter walker, investigative reporter for talking points memo. hunter, thank you very much joining us tonight! you have been [laughter] working among other, things the dos santos resume and the mounting pile of lies. additional reporting today from the the -- contribution -- cafÉ contributions

jeffries: distinguished members of the house democratic caucus and the house republican caucus, it's my high honor and distinct privilege to finally welcome all of you to the 118th congress. let me just begin by thanking my good friend, pete aguilar, for his very generous words of introduction and for placing my name into nomination, a total of nine times. and i also want to thank my other colleagues from the democratic caucus for your generous words of nomination, as well as jim clyburn, katherine clark, ted lewan veronica escobar. and i thank my colleagues and my friends in the house democratic caucus for your perseverance, four your strength, for your friendship and for your purpose and for your unanimous support. and i simply want to say that showing of strength is not for any one particular individual. it will be a showing of strength throughout the 118th congress, you nammity of purpose on behalf of the american people. before i proceed any further, let me begin by acknowledging the distinguished gentlelady from the great state of california, the iconic, the heroic, legendary n

house. 200 22 republicans and the 118th congress, 212 democrats in the house. one vacancy today -- vacant seat today. a special election is scheduled for february to fill his seat. in the house there will be 74 freshmen taking their seats for the first time. on the senate side it's 49 republicans to 48 democrats and three independent who are expected to caucus with democrats, giving them of course the majority in the senate. overall in this 118th congress, 100 and 49 women, 97 veterans, 18 members born outside the united states, five members with native american ancestry. the youngest member born in 1987. the oldest in 1933. when it comes to what happens on the opening day of congress, let's start on the house side. there will be a call to order by the clerk along with the prayer and pledge of allegiance to start the day and then a quorum call by the clerk of the house when members will be recording their presence in the chamber. they will be receiving their voting cards as of yesterday. the

the clerk of the house: will the house be in order. mrs.cammack: i would like to address not you but the american people, because quite frankly they are -- well, we don't have a speaker yet. the american people, while they are our boss and we work for them. yesterday, as we were here on the house floor, our constituents from all around the country made their voices heard. today the calls, the text messages, emails, they all continue. people are letting their voice be heard and that is a very, very good thing. because that is what we are, after all, a constitutional republic that serves all americans, not just a select few. to all americans watching right now, i want to tell you we hear you, we hear you. and we will get this right, no matter how messy this process is. we will emerge better for having been through this, because nothing great ever comes easy. several months, negotiations have been going back and forth over a rules package to make your chamber a better place to deliver better results for you, the american people. and i wan

for the house to not only conduct business but for the house to address the problems that the american people across this country has faced. and let's just be very clear upfront. we saw a lot of debate about this last week. at the heart of all of the discussions last week was very clear, surely from our side, that washington is broken, and not just as -- is washington broken, but the way that this house has been running in the last few years has not been designed to address the problems of the people across this country. in fact, we've seen many of the problems that families are facing across america created by the things that have come out of this congress signed by president biden. why is inflation running away? because spending's out-of-control, because because bills -- because bills from dark at night, where members are not allowed to give input in committee, on the floor, to address problems they know their constituents will face if these bills pass. and they're passed because they're written in rooms behind closed doors by a small number of people not concerned about the conseque

the white house said in the statement that the white house counsel's office notified the national archives and records administration on the same day the documents were found in a locked closet. the agency retrieved them the next morning. attorney general merrick garland has assigned the u.s. attorney of chicago appointed by donald trump, to review the situation. joining us now is bradley moss, national security attorney and -- indications are that it is probably less than a dozen documents that the daca lawyers have found and immediately contacted the white house counsel's office, wait his counsel's office immediately contacted the archives. they picked them up the next morning, and then merrick garland decided to have a trump appointed prosecutor review the situation. what do, make of what we know so far? >> lawrence, the number of documents is not really what stands out to me, because candidly, any document with classification mark and not in the proper location is a bad thing, but what is different here, and why we're telling everybody to slow down, these comparisons to mar-a-lago and

i think people are digging in. >> by the way, our house producer is reporting from the house that just before they convened, the sergeant at arms removed the magnatometers. that's a sign the republicans are in charge. it's a slim majority but the rules will change. yamiche, let's talk about what the larger picture is of what this looks like to the country. this is a moment where the republicans should be celebrating the majority. it's slim but they should be celebrating. democrats lost the majority of the house, even though -- by a slimmer margin than at any time in history. they are feeling good about it. the democrats look united and the republicans are splintered. >> it's an incredible moment, andrea. this is a party that should be, as you said, celebrating, should be coalescing around a house speaker, should be saying, this is a new era. we will put checks on president biden. we have all this agenda items we're going to do. they should be talking about what they want to do for the next two years as they have control of congress. instead, you see this remarkable scene of open warfar

but tell us about the next steps in the house. republicans have this new political gift, they will make the most of it, what will happen with their probes even as the doj moves on a separates track? >> well, we have a could that -scoop about a let their went out. so here is the rub. they will have trouble getting documents because the white house is not going to talk. witnesses are not going to talk, people with documents and knowledge of the situation won't talk while the justice department is investigainvestig. so great for republicans, gives them ammo. but substantively, it is always more difficult. when an investigation, that is cover for people not to give information while the feds are investigating. >> all right, jake, stay with us. the united states is just one day away from reaching its borrowing limit and having to take extraordinary measures to keep paying its bills. while congressional democrats in the white house have been calling for a straightforward debt ceiling bill that would only give the government money it nee

only built 400,000 houses. many forces led to this state of affairs but local land-use policies are the most restrictive in the nation, sony and local communities old enormous power to block growth between multifamily housing and processes, they make it difficult, almost impossible to build new homes. think about that, people want to live here, they have jobs here because of local decisions they cannot. local government can and should make a difference. i spent 14 years in local government, many of you came to that as well. our community had citizen driven master plan to allow for target housing and economic growth while reserving green space. i know this can be done but it hasn't been. 2010 -- 2018, nasa, sussex, putnam county, each granted your housing permits than virtually all suburban counties, massachusetts, connecticut, southern california, new jersey, pennsylvania, for the virginia. when it comes to new york city, other metro areas create housing two to four times the rate we are. often rates almost dou

pursuant to section 3-z of house resolution 5, the house stands adjourned until noon on friday, january 20, 2023. >> -- estate services there's any more than double. they still have not approved that. -- providing -- [indiscernible] ms. jean-pierre: we are in constant conversation with ukrainians on their assistance. we have given them the most assistance of any country. the president made sure he brought nato together, he brought our allies and partners together to make sure we had the backs of the ukrainian people. that is something we are going to continue to do. we're not going to get ahead of any announcements from here. but again, we will be with the ukrainian people for as long as it takes. for them to defend itself about the best against a brutal reality we have been say from russian aggression. >> regarding the classified and official documents. last week we were told the american people can assume that the searches were complete and the document's were recovered. on saturday there were five additional classified documents. can you say no if all of the document up and recovered

a lot of people say dad, m housing us the human rights mean the right to buy a house. it, it means if you have been comes to buy a house, that's your right. and as the housing am right, but a lot of people think that a housing is also all the options on all the efforts of the government. yeah. to achieve asagwa that no, once an estate on the streets and that has a space for a hobby, them. so that's his problem right now in mexico. no, and i appreciate you, friend me not. i just want to jump in for audience to, to just highlight something i found interesting, which is that the mayor and mexico recently, i believe, said that there is no link between rental of struggles and air b and b is presidents. and i think that, that, that, that's important, that we kind of, you know, i have friends for example, who've traveled to mexico. they're, they're talented artists. there are entrepreneurs. and obviously they were attracted to the cheaper standard of living, but a really good quality of life. and a rich cultural diversity of mexico on carla, are they the problem? i mean, i ca

[ applause ]. the old model and building new community-based systems and getting the type of care they need forel their homes and loved ones. we're still building and my budgets contain f

liz: the house oversight chair james cop cope -- -- james comb, what is the white house hiding? activity reports of the biden family's overseas deals. >> you have to take a look at all of the moving parts here. the treasury department withheld these when the republicans were not in control. now that they are in control, the republicans in the house had the right to this information. as the chair said, it's going to take a lot to go through all of these details. if there is nothing wrong, what's the problem biden has with this information being turned over. liz: treasury in its rejection letter says continuing them over might undermine the white house's intelligence and security activities. what are they talking about? >> that's a good question. lawen enforcement is trying to get to the bottom did hunter biden commit a crime and did joe biden have complicity in it. this is appropriate for house oversight to be looking at. liz: this story, the fda is warning getting both the flu shot and covid shot at the same time could increase the risk of strokes. but the white house had urged

-led house. most recently receiving 2018 votes in the third round of balloting earlier today after that. -- earlier today. after that, they adjourned. now they are slated to come back here in four minutes, 8:00 p.m. eastern time. as we told you, one reporter, punch bowl news saying kevin mccarthy coming out of a meeting with detractors saying it's not useful to hold another vote. tad of fox news retweeting out, mccarthy-aligned super p.a.c. announces a deal with the club for growth to back mccarthy. the deal is the congressional leadership fund will not back specific candidates in safe, open-seat primaries, something conservatives have complained about in the past. robert, let's hear from you in fort lauderdale, florida. hi, robert. caller: how are you doing? host: i'm doing well. caller: a few things. first of all. 20 members holding out, how could just 20, how about two members in the senate for the democrat, manchin and sinema, that's all it take, they've held plenty of things up. people don't

lucas tomlinson from the white house. thanks. for more on this classified documents debacle, we're joined by republican congressman from arkansas and member of the house intelligence committee and the house transportation and infrastructure committee, congressman rick crawford. thank you for joining us. >> you bet, thanks for having me. bill: you heard the breaking news there, five more classified documents found by the president's special counsel. your reaction to that? >> my sense is there will probably be more. they're not being forth coming in this. the white house spokesperson indicated that they were surprised that merrick garland appointed a special counsel. i don't necessarily buy that. i think probably it was done to prevent them or to insulate them from having to comment because the answer can always be, well, that's under investigation so we can't comment on that. so, to some degree there's a level of insulation being provided to the administration by appointing this special counsel, but there are some concerns about t

house members today. that is anyone's guess. let's go to ashiah hasnie where that particular battle stands. >> reporter: good afternoon do you, neil. kevin mccarthy came out of a pretty intense gop conference meeting here in the last hour where he told reporters when he came out of it he will not be stepping out of this bid for speaker. he will though likely lose that first ballot. he said there might be a battle on the floor later today after not accepting a deal put forth by his opponents. watch. >> last night i was presented the only way to have 218 votes. if i provided certain members with certain positions, certain gavels to take over the committee, to have certain budgets. they even came to the position where one matt gaetz said i don't care if we go to plurally, elect hawk keep jeffries, hurts front line members not to get reelected. that is not about america. i will fight to put american people first, not a knew individuals that want somebody for themselves. >> reporter: representative scott perry

meanwhile the house gop house also open investigations into president joe biden. the oversight committee asked the treasury department for the biden family's financial records. oversight is also investigating those classified documents that were found in an office biden used after he was vice president. today we learned biden's aides discovered at least one additional set of classified documents in a different location. it comes as the new york times has reported special counsel jack smith is ramping up his investigation into donald trump. the paper says some members of smith's team expects the charging decisions involving top secret records found at mar-a-lago could come as early as this summer. the washington post reports trump campaign officials got a doj subpoena asking you questions about january 6th. with that we have a lot to get to, let's get smarter with the help of our lead off panel, peter baker's here chief white house correspondent for the new york times, shelby tall caught a reporter for -- who covers trump in the gop and former u.s. attorney joyce v

conference of mayors winter meeting to the white house. the president will deliver remarks celebrating the achievements of the past 18 months and focusing on the bipartisan work that needs to be done to implement these and other historic pieces of legislative victories at the level -- at the local level to make a difference in people's lives across the country. >> speaker mccarthy invited the president to deliver the state of the union. is that the date? has he accepted the invitation? >> we have received speaker mccarthy's invitation and the president has accepted and looks forward to delivering the state of the union address tuesday, february 17, 2023. sorry, tuesday, february 7, 2023. but we appreciate the invitation. >> on the debt limit. is the president going to cut the spending deal? >> as you have heard us say before, we will not be doing any negotiation over the debt ceiling. but broadly speaking, at the start of this new congress, we are reaching out to all the members through the office of ledger affairs, making sure that we hav

that is the deal on the house floor right now. of course it all came down to him in the speaker's vote. he voted present. you saw that remarkable dust up on the floor involving gaetz. it appears in the moments since maybe cooler heads prevailed. we don't know the details why he agreed to flip, but we are hearing that is the case, jake. >> all right, melanie zanona and who was her colleague? those two reporting. we just underestimated the gentleman's love of showmanship. >> well, i don't know -- >> why not? >> assuming it happens. >> our reporting is that the impression that mccarthy and his vote counters and getters had was that matt rosendale of montana was going to be the one -- >> going to vote present, though. >> who voted present. he was the one who surprised everybody. what we just saw the reporting that annie and melanie just gave us we saw that happen with our own eyes. you described it the moment when kevin mccarthy was once again talking to matt gaetz and realized that he had him move from present to yes, which means tha

and so for housing a positive outcome could include a house entering housing, retaining housing or exiting a permanent housing to housing setting. homelessness prevention we found 85 percent of households had a positive outcome and a positive outcome is when a house finds a safe place to stay outside the homelessness response system. shelter and hygiene half houses had a positive outcomes and included various types of positive outcomes in this number, so it could include entering shelter from a unsheltered setting, staying in shelter or exiting shelter to a housing location. so, that's all i have today. i think i'll pass it to jesse to give introduction to the website. >> thank you so much rena. i will-i am going to look at the slides for a minute. great. i just want to-to the actual website that is going to be published, so you can have a little of a preview of how this looks. we are not going to be able to go too far in depth, but just show you a little bit more of the kinds of information that you'll be able to find here. and just so you know the report will be available on the sf.gov/o

extensive white house log. again -- >> your classified material. >> again, i'm telling you we did something the last administration got rid of, which is instituting the white house log? did you ask the last administration why they got rid of the white house log? okay. let's go. let's go. go ahead. go ahead. go ahead. >> i'm telling the gentleman that wanted to ask a question not related to this. >> in washington state, we had the chair of the congress mmit and congressman doesn't think great, let's do it and put forward a bit and build a path for the committee almost unanimously last congress and now the private protection act and the president with boards and the white house boards. >> the president has long called for strong privacy protection. that's something he's been doing and calling for since the beginning of his administration and we're hartened to see -- heartened to see bipartisan issues on this issue and in the op-ed you mentioned and referring to the op-ed that came out and democrats and republican

should the white house cooperate with the house oversight committee on this? >> well, those requests are completely hypocritical when you consider what he said about the mar-a-lago situation. i think congress ought to handle both situations the same way and that is, we ought to get a briefing from the intelligence community about any potential risks to national security of where those documents were and what they contained but congress shouldn't try to interfere with the investigations. i think sadly that's what mr. comer's object is. he showed no interest in investigating the former serious situation with about 1 ee classified documents at mar-a-lago with evidence in the public domain of obstruction, now he is suddenly interested in investigating president biden. i think congress needs to be consistent here and take the same approach. i don't think we ought to be doing things that are willy intended to interfear with the justice department's work? so you don't think the white house should cooperate with the committee on this? you might mightily to get the whi

there is no house. nobody is sworn in. we've had a couple of members on last hour who said we don't know if we're getting paid. there's a national security concern here. this is -- the longer this lasts, the more serious this gets. >> well, this is really serious that the house is not able to function at all. we do not have a 118th congress yet until a speaker gets seated. but i also think that for democrats, it's also an opportunity where they display their unity and their commitment to governance. i think even if republicans get through this mess that they're in, there hasn't been a demonstration of any commitment to governing the country. and so surviving this vote is just the first step in the chaos. i see chaos down the line however this shakes out because you will have a group of republicans who will hold things up on crucial issues. but it is really serious. if something catastrophic were to happen, we don't have a third-in-line to the presidency because there hasn't been a speaker seated yet. >> we do. and it's pat

amy: the house of representatives remains without a house speaker as far-right republicans of continue to block kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy has lost six rounds of voting so far. how long will the standstill last? we will speak to representative-elect greg casar of texas. he, like all members of the house, cannot be sworn in and tell a speaker is elected. we will also talk to the intercept's ryan grim. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. the house of representatives has adjourned for second consecutive day without swearing in members of the 118 congress after lawmakers once again failed to elect a new house speaker. on wednesday, the house held three more rounds of voting. in each one, republican leader kevin mccarthy failed to muster the 218 votes needed after 20 members of his party instead backed byron donalds of florida. until the speaker selected, the house cannot perform any other actions or swear in any congressmember. mississippi commerce member trent kelly joined other republicans calling on me

anything that relates to this white house, i would refer you to the white house counsel's office. reporter: then on the abrams, last week at the podium john kirby said the abrams is expensive to maintain, to operate, to fuel. and it requires a lot of training. does this white house still have the same concern when it comes to providing tanks to the ukrainians? karine: as my d.o.d. colleagues have said very recently, again, nothing to preview from here, certainly don't have anything to share. but they never ruled out tanks. just want to make that very clear. i think what my colleagues at the d.o.d. have said in the past is that there were always challenges with tanks. but not going to preview anything. i think i would refer you to the d.o.d. comments on this. again, they've always been challenges, it's never been taken off the table. but as i just mentioned, i don't have anything to preview. reporter: what are the benefits to potential -- karine: we've always said, again, nothing to preview. want to be very clear here. we've always said that we are in constant communication with uk

speaker of the house. the lower chamber held five votes for speaker and congressman kevin mccarthy failed to cinch the nomination on all five of those bringing the total number of times he has failed to win the speaker's gavel up to 11. that is the most failed elections for speaker in any congress in over 100 years. surpassing the nine attempts it took to elect a speaker all the way back in the near 1923. throughout those failed votes kevin mccarthy has not managed to pick up one single new supporter. now, his republican antagonists have failed to pick up new support though they have introduced two new names into the mix, oklahoma congressman kevin hern and donald trump, the twice impeached former president of the united states. today congressman matt gaetz officially nominated donald j. trump to be speaker of the house which he can technically do because he does not have to be a mel of congress. after being nominated trump who endorsed kevin mccarthy managed to only get one vote for matt gaetz himself. th

an election for speaker of the house. let the republicans camelize themselves. let the sur was continue as many days as they need too. there are real world implications to what it costs in the economy and retirement and jobs lost. how can the republicans play this and can they let republicans circle up in a firing squad, shooting at each other? >> well, look, i know biden administration sees the senate and the house differently maybe because he was in the senate for so long, but it was mick mitch continue, as much as he was a completely irresponsible actor in 2011 who pulled the republicans together in 2021 to raise the debt limit. democrats still control the senate. so their focus is really on the house and smoking out kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy has said he wants to negotiate. that's not a good idea because that creates uncertainty. what's important is to know wand & what the white house is going to keep pushing for publicly i would expect and if you're sitting in a white house right now, you're strategically trying

housing policy is economic policy housing policy is water policy and housing policy is public health and equity policy. [applause] impacts every part of our life and it's r critical to get this right we need everyone to come towards a real solution. it won't be easy if it was it would have been done already. this work remains to be done but in colorado we don't shy away from tough challenges. we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

of representatives is the people's house. it represents the entirety of our country. and we each represent some 750,000 people. we come here and here we sit in a room filled with those representatives. my friend, mr. gallagher -- he is my friend. i agree with him on many things. i agree to almost everything you were talking about. but we should be in here having this kind of a conversation with this many people in the room about ukraine. we should debate the merits. we should debate the ups and downs of being involved. we should debate the $45 billion. we should debate whether it should be more or less, whether it should be for, what the result we should demand. the only way you are going to get that is if you change the rules and have the leadership to advance the rules to make sure that we can do that. [ applause ] now, we have had a conversation for two months to try to advance the ball. and we have had success in doing that. but we're not there. we're not at the place where we need to be to guarantee -- to guarantee we're

to ever serve a speaker of the house. but it would be grotesquely unfair to call kevin mccarthy the stupidest man whoever occupied the speaker's office. that title goes to the sky. who was very quickly convicted by a criminal counts, including for felonies and it committed while sitting in that chair. he stupidly thought he was sitting in speaker nancy pelosi's chair, in her office, but he was actually sitting at the desk of emily barrett who served as speaker pelosi's director of operations and now works for house minority leader joaquin jeffords. after being convicted today, richard barnett went home to arkansas to await sentencing after saying this outside the courthouse. >> this has not a jury of my peers. i don't -- decision. >> if by a jury of his peers -- white trump voters in arkansas, then he should have not committed crimes for donald trump in washington d.c.. fortunately for mr. barnett, who now faces a max sentence of 20 years for his felony convictions, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene cannot serve on a w

back at the house. more suspicious evidence that just isn't adding up. >> i understand this situation does not look good at all for me. postmenopausal women with hr+ her2- metastatic breast cancer are living longer with kisqali. so, long live family time. long live dreams. and long live you. to help women live longer when taken with an aromatase inhibitor. and kisqali helps preserve quality of life. so you're not just living, you're living well. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. avoid grapefruit during treatment. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worse

broadcast media is going all of our houses. every house in america gets this information. host: this is john in texas, democrat. good morning. what are your expectations for the 118th congress? caller: well, i don't want them to cut social security, i can tell you that. and i don't want to waste any time on this hunter biden laptop. the f.b.i.'s already looked at it. i don't think i have too much -- i think this is going to be pretty unproductive for the next two years. we had a huge blue wave to get this thing straightened out. host: that's john in texas. here's one more post from social media this morning. this from kathy from our facebook page. i hope the focus is to stop spending so much money. this is bill in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, republican. what's your expectation for the 118th congress? caller: well, i think the country is pretty evenly divided under political views. both sides of the aisle need to focus on china. china's just waiting to pounce. they know how vulnerable we are right at this moment. something's got to be done with our foreign policy towards chin

i'm able to clean my house. i'm able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when you're extremely heavy they're not so simple. golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works. >>> it is 4 o'clock in new york on a day in which the weight of history itself and the white house to capitol hill with the collision of two historic and deeply connected events. the first, the ongoing crisis over the house speakership still unfolding in the house at this moment, which just voted to adjourn until 10:00 pm tonight after 13 votes took pl. and the speaker was still not elected pickett is something that has not happened in american politics in 164 years. since before the civil war. the second event, the anniversary of the january 6 insurrection. the worst attack on the united its capital in centuries. the commemoration today took place at the white house where pres. joe biden awarded the country second highest civilian honor, the presidential citizens will to 14 people who were instr

and now, listen to this, house republicans, some of the house mag republicans asked their leadership, which are some house republicans from house republicans that the leadership has agreed to give gop radicals a vote on a 30% national sales tax across the board. 30% sales tax on everything. meaning right now with inflation beginning to drop republicans are looking to make american families pay 30% more for every single thing they buy. the republican national sales tax is a disaster for american families. and you don't need to take it from me. grover norquist said the proposal is an assault on your retirement savings. he's hardly an ally of ours. steve forbes said it would raise house prices by $100,000 and raise american bills by thousands. there's nothing fair about this republican sales tax. so if republicans want to push this terrible proposal, they are welcome to make the case, make our day. similarly if republicans want to play brinksmanship with deficit and demanding cuts, they need to show us exactly what they want to cut. they attended when you put these bills on the floor, re

the house of representatives failed to organize on opening day, sad day for the house of representatives as an institution. sad day for the microscope. it's a sad day for the american people. house democrats are unified, ready, willing, and able to get to work on behalf of every day. americans voting has been postponed until wednesday. but to me, the mccarthy, all those voting against him, a few ready to back down. i also corresponded in washington carolina to my wife. some republicans were refusing to give their backing to kevin mccarthy. the republicans sat on support support. mccarthy are clearly among the, at the far right in this party to the vision is clearly in this extreme, am at the heart, right once mccarthy, to give up certain concessions. and he is obviously not aligning with their positions because he needs them. but he also needs the moderate republican votes, and now he is paying the price for trying to keep the balance between the far right in the republican party and the moderate ones. mccarthy is trying to make a the far right happy, but he is also trying to get the vot

the constitution allows the house to set its own rules. what this represented was a debate over the rules and how the house will proceed over the next couple of years. structurally speaking, i thought this was fine. i did not think it was an embarrassment or problem. i was pleased to see the house doing something it is not often do, which is debate out in the open. all the merits, what you saw was a mixture of people who had lofty and sincere goals, chip of texas is a good example. he wants reform, a more open amendment process. he does not like the way we passed budgets and wanted to use the leverage she had to change that. then, you saw some people who just wanted drama and chaos into fundraiser. i would put gaetz into that category. it resolved itself, i think the house will be stronger for it. we often put our congress on autopilot, not just electing speakers but legislatively as well. the last time we had a big congressional debate over foreign policy, when was the last time we had a big debate over defense and general? when was the l

the white house signaled it plans to cooperate with the house oversight and judiciary committees but only to an extent. the secret services have other requests for visitor records where the documents were found. the white house counsel says it's willing to cooperate with the house investigations, but suggested there are limits. what are the limits? >> yeah, these letters to the oversight committee and judiciary committee are something of a stalling tactic. house republicans sent a bunch of requests to the white house over the course of the last year, and in early january the white house responded saying you have to submit it, and now the white house responds with another letter saying they will respond with what they consider to be legitimate oversight and will take into account the prerogatives, and that's saying they will hold bacterial on probes that they think are too personal or don't go into what they consider to be legitimate, or into ongoing investigations being conducted by the department of justice. that's going to frustrate the house republicans. they believe it's not up t

get a majority vote in this house. and some of the newer members, the group of new york freshmen, who are so essential to turning the house red this time around, who might not want to engage in that kind of tit for tat, and might not look the look, that's a different case. >> yes, you're so right, garrett. we've seen kevin mccarthy have to deal with the right flank of his party. there is going to come a time when he has to deal with the moderate flank as well, and perhaps this battle is where it is. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >>> coming up, the former head of counter-intelligence for the fbi's new york office was arrested. what he is accused of, and the charges he is now facing. but first, more classified documents are found at president biden's delaware home. what members of the president's own party are now saying about the discovery. ery. get refunds.com powered by innovation refunds can help your business get a payroll tax refund, even if you got ppp and it only takes eight minutes to qualify. i went on t
