if you look at where john boehner and paul ryan and kevin mccarthy tried to say we're trying to get the most conservative coalition possible and go as far right as we can but i don't want to lose the moderates. if i go too far right i'll lose the seats. if you go too far left you will lose manchin. you have to be smart how to play politics. republicans have done that. democrats have gone to the left wing stratosphere and you can't win there. >> harris: great debate between the two of you. jason and sean always nice to have you in "focus." thank you for watching "the faulkner focus". a lot of emotion this hour. thanks for being here.

i've got kevin mccarthy besides me. in addition militaryies of -- -- the military. and the bi-play between senator mcconnection -- mc mcconnell. i think it's a real desire and believe that it's returned. to find common ground on the infrastructure session we just had which is a bill passed with a very significant bipartisan majority. seems to be a model and put some more runs on the boor. >> ok governor? >> how did i do? >> you did excellent. >> you know, when you look at that time president -- first of all, i got to know then senator bind when he was center i was in the house. subsequent to that i was head of the d.e.a. and. and then senator biden, asked me to dom an event. we did that together. and so i knew him as working across the isle and inn a -- in a bipartisan way. i got to see him in that venue. and then i see him as president. and i just see him driven by a base. and i think like when he went down to atlanta and he spoke, he tried to figure up the base. there's limitation. you you've got to be more careful as president. it's more important in that regard.

she didn't want to get into it when i asked about the january 6 commission and kevin mccarthy and whether it was good to put someone like jim jordan there. she has reached across the aisle far more than her colleagues. she is more republican in the district that it was last time. she's an immigrant. she has in incredible story. see how people like her deal with what the party is becoming. marching towards immigration and other issues. >>> good news. it seemed and i love the story. butterflies are back. there has been concern. last year the butterfly count had been declining for many years. butterflies come in winter in california. the count declined to under 2000. this is in comparison to the 1980s where there were millions of monarchs that would, on the coastline. this year they are back up to a couple hundred thousand. would you hear about this? >> good news but scientists don't know why it's happening. that part is not clear. it is clear that they are definitely bouncing back. we can expect to see more monarch butterflies as you mentioned. expected to be over 200,000 butterflies. we co

kevin mccarthy beside me. in addition to mellow -- members of military, secretary clinton, general colin powell. the pie plate in that room -- between senator mcconnell and the president was an example. there was a real desire and i believe and i hope it is returned to find common ground in the infrastructure session we just had that was a bill passed with sfo good -- a significant bipartisan majority seems to be a model. let's use that as a model. how did i do? governor hutchinson: when you look at the president, first of all, i got to know then senator biden when he was senator and i was in the house. subsequent to that i was the head of the da in the bush administration. then senator biden asked me to come to delaware to do an event on drug policy. we did that together. so, i knew him as working across the aisle in a bipartisan way and i knew his heart for criminal justice. so i got to see him in that venue. then i see him as president. i just see him driven by the base. i think, like when he went down to a

. >> so in the access of someone like kevin mccarthy doing the right thing, bench-ing him until there is some kind of conclusion to the investigation. what have you been able to do? what's type of dialogues have you've been having with your fellow members on the judiciary committee on the fact that he should not be sitting there with himself pretty much? >> we know pretty much based on the reporting, that matt gates ex-girlfriend already testified against him. but now you have even more than one witness that will discuss the allegation. that matt gaetz paid to have sex with a minor. these are very serious charges that lead to long prison sentences. and the justice department -- for matt gates to be sitting there, saying things as the judiciary committee attacking the department. that is completely improper. and he is the only member of congress, i remember a few years ago, that voted against that crackdown on human sex trafficking. so he has been taking a lot of actions that have been improper. >> so matt gates was on steve bannon's podcast this week, let's listen to what he said. >>

mccarthy as speaker of the house. rachel: the most telling signs this is not on the up and up, when this came out, nancy pelosi didn't say, oh, my gosh, members of congress are being spied on, we need hearings, need to get to the bottom of this, nothing, silence. we don't know who gave the order. did she direct this internal investigative unit to do this or give a wink and a nod? we have no idea. i believe this might be, this story has been buried because this news cycle is crazy, right? we have the secret flights. we have the supreme court justice, ukraine, you know the two officers who were gunned down in new york and funerals. there is just, an avalanche of news, yet this might be one of the most important news stories of the year because this is like a secret police. this is the kind of stuff i never thought would happen in america. this is the like cuba. this is like the soviet union. this is like nazi germany. this is the secret police gathering information on americans who have done nothing wrong. they are exer

joining me tonight, house minority leader kevin mccarthy, soon to be speaker of the house, we like to say. kevin, you saw what we just put out there. are you seeing seeing? is this happening at the southern border? >> rep. mccarthy: it's happening, but it's even worse. what's going on goes even further. people are coming here illegally with unbelievable numbers. i took a group of republican congressmen down there a year ago last february. what we discovered -- when you talk to individuals coming across and asked them why they came, they said "because joe biden advised me." they believed that based upon what he said. it's not just that. if you talk to mayors of those cities, they have closed schools for more than 41 days because the cartels are having shoot-outs coming across the border. the fentanyl is coming from china. i have a senator who told me before covid, they were on a task to china. there is a general and the chinese army that said "america is weak, because you believe in god and take fentanyl." you know what's happening? there are no longer any border cities. every city is

it was this tweet from house minority leader kevin mccarthy. he said "president biden's policies have, quote, stalled our economic recovery and that, quote, bidenomics is bad for america." a year later, that is not what the actual numbers show. this graph on your screen shows u.s. gdp from 1908 to 2021. that line at the end, it represents biden's first year in office. and gdp reaching, ready for this, a 37-year high. that was on top of other very strong numbers, rising wages, unemployment rate that is dropping faster than most predicted with 6 million jobs created in 2021. of course it is not all good news. we have seen prices climbing at their fastest pace in decade, hitting americans everywhere from the gas stations to the grocery store with people across the country feeling the pinch. however, when you look back at that chart, one thing is very, very clear. the economy bidenomics have done anything but stalled. numbers tell truth >>> coming up, a pt is in custody after allegedly shooting three police officers and carjacking a driver in houst

i hope kevin mccarthy does the same thing. you make a public commitment, sign a contract saying these are the things we do. if we don't, hold us accountable. that he wants the best of newt gin gingrich. the worst of politics is talking about jailing people. we have a right to know about our economy. we have a right to know about foreign policy and the threats that are happening right now in nations across the globe. and we have a right to a strong, healthy, vibrant democracy. to give up the rights or to threaten people the way some politicians do, that's why we are in so much trouble. and i say to every politician, to every elected official at least spend the next seven days reaching out, listening, learning. it is absolutely appropriate to stand for what you believe. it's appropriate to draw the contrast. it is not appropriate to destroy the lives of people you disagree with. >> you have been honest about our role and your development, your evolution here. how difficult for you has it been to come to terms with your role in t

so did lindsey graham the day of, kevin mccarthy said the right thing. as time went on, they have a gravitational pull to mar-a-lago. they are now all still genullecting. could it be worse? of course, it could be, it sure could be a hell of a lot better. >> he is in a far different place than lindsey graham or kevin mccarthy are regarding january 6th. meanwhile, it's now been more than 40 days since a criminal referral for a former white house chief of staff mark meadows to the justice department, recommending he be charged with contempt of congress, however, no action has yet been taken. dave erinberg. what do you think about this with mark meadows after they did wit steve bannon? >> joe, i just got back from washington, d.c. cal capitol conference. i asked her point blank if the supreme court's definitive ruling on executive privilege would impact the mark meadows' consideration, impact her decision on whether or not to indict mark meadows. she said the supreme court decision would have an impact on january 6th defendants. she didn't specifically menti

[applause] >> good morning, all. well, first of all, thank you so much for sag saying yes. >> no, no, congratulations. >> you know, we met in an interesting fashion and i think one cool way to start this off is to sort of talk about the origin story how you and i became friends and i'll let you tell it better than i did. >> and we met an interesting way, he was just stealing all of these jobs like california and all the other places. no, he put the tweet out, how can i help and what i thought from a perspective is, how interesting is that? somebody that's offering and i didn't know who he was, didn't know his politics or anything else, but i thought that's a great approach and i called him up, i'd like to get together and i like how you said, who can we help. and really in a time of covid, in a time where people can live anywhere, i was frustrated within my own state, not my city. i love my city. but people were leaving and at the very beginning, i mean, i'm from california, it was pe

i agree with kevin mccarthy we need to do something about it. we need to formulate and pass some legislation. we'll do that when republicans take over the house in less than a year. because i think it is important that we send a message to the american people that we are holding ourselves to a higher standard. i think we should absolutely be out of the business of buying stocks. it is going to be difficult because of the spousal aspect of that. where do we stop? if you're spouse works for an oil and gas company should you be allowed to vote on matters affecting energy. if your spouse is a teacher, should you vote on education issues. there are lots of opportunities on conflicts of interest. the idea that we are privy to information that they are not i think makes people extra questioning of members with congress with respect to holding and trading stocks. i do think we need to have some legislation passed soon. elizabeth: now nearly, new data, nearly one in five lawmakers own stock in tech companies targeted by antitrust legislation advancing th

the cnbc reporting that alison kartevold -- kevin mccarthy wants to campaign on it as the republicans try to take back the house. 54 members of congress, both sides of the aisle, violated a law designed to prevent conflict of interest, including my next guest, pete sessions. he's a republican from texas and a member of the house oversight and financial services committees. first, thank you. i've been talking about this ban a lot on the show and i said anybody who is opposed to changing the rules i old love to understand why, so i appreciate you coming on. explain this to me. why do you think we should leave the rules as they are? >> thank you very much. i was surprised to hear i violated the ban. there were two or three weeks reporting something, but essentially the law is now passed by louise slaughter, a dear friend of mine, from the rules committee, and it says that within 30 days all stock transactions need to be reported. and i believe members of congress do that. it may be ten days late, perhaps it's a christmas or something. it is important that we have the confidence of the am

mccarthy immediately schedule a vote on bipartisan push to stop stock trading by sitting lawmakers while in office. is this a serious thing? is this going to happen, this vote? >> thanks for having me, elizabeth. it better happen. elizabeth, as you're aware before serving in congress i was an fbi agent, starting in new york city where i worked in the white-collar crime unit. if american public is investigated for insider trading why shouldn't members of congress not be subject to the same rules? the reality, elizabeth, as members of committees we have closed-door briefings, often time with corporate ceos, corporate executives, board members, and members of congress in the course of legislating and course of policy making learn information that they should not be permitted to trade stocks on. there are two bills out there, the bill that passed in 2012, essentially called the stock act, it is toothless. it has been around for a long time. it has not worked. so there are a couple of pieces of legislation out there, they're all bipartisan. one requires blind trusts and outright ban on a memb

assuming republicans do take power in the fall, do you like kevin mccarthy? >> i'm not a big kevin mccarthy fan i also really haven't liked what steve scalise has bmd the election. but i've known him as a very fine person, going all the way back to 1989. i would love to see him get a shot. then again, right now i'm a huge fan of liz cheney. i think she's shown incredible courage and principle. i would love to see her but that won't happen. >> bacarri, what do you think? of who you would like in the republicans in the house to be speaker. who is the least objectionable to you in. >> i really don't care. i think the house is gone. jim jordan, schealise, mccarthy. >> coming up, a newly released study looks at the impact of covid vaccines on ivf. ttle misse never stood a chance. until, energizer ultimate lithium. who wants a cupcake? the number one longest-lasting aa battery. yay! case closed. liz, you nerd, cough if you're in here! shh! i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. what about rob's dry cough? works on that too, and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?! who studi

is it mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy? have they done that yet? >> they haven't done it in any public way. my understanding, is i think i have shared this with you before. mitch mcconnell is very worried about the actual undoing of our democracy. he actually believes in a democracy. and yet the undoing is not that valuable a talking point for him as republicans seek to gain power of both chambers. the house is on. to win the midterms. and we have talked a about who might fill those seats based on the reporting that suggests as many incumbents leave, it's a ground swell advantage to those with domesti extremist views that would have never been accepted or tolerated in the chamber before. rejecting expertise and science, aiming a dagger at half of the american people rather than representing all of them. but to your original question, no one is doing anything publicly except for liz cheney and the departing adam kinzinger. so it's not a as though there are any forces coming forward. i have been in talks with people who are what i would called not bo

that's not how kevin mccarthy is doing it. that's not how mitch mcconnell is doing it. they're saying we're not running on anything except against biden. they're not running on an agenda here. it isn't clear what they're running on. >> i think they're running on the economy and inflation and the worst inflation we've had since jimmy carter's years. they're running on keeping kids in school and education and coming up with innovative ways to make sure your kids will get that make-up of what they have lost over the last two years. and then crime. defund the police has been a disaster for democrats. and that has given republicans an opportunity to stand with the local police while still being for reform. tim scott, a republican senator, is one of the leaders on having criminal justice reform while standing with the police. so i think you have the ability on these strong key issues. and then you have foreign policy problems that biden has too. but i think republicans that focus on these issues instead of donald trump. put him in the rear view mirror. don't let him muck out

republican minority leader kevin mccarthy wanted the court to reject it as unconstitutional. the high court agreed today to hear challenges to affirmative action in college admissions for the first time since 2016. two lawsuits charge that the use of race in admissions decisions at harvard university and the university of north carolina, discriminates against asian-americans. federal prosecutors in minneapolis charged today that three former police officers violated george floyd's civil rights in failing to prevent his murder. in opening statements, they said the men did nothing when fellow officer derek chauvin pinned floyd by the neck until he died. chauvin was convicted of murder last year. the defense argued chauvin was the senior officer and called all the shots. in iran, the government opened the door today to direct talks with the united states on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. the foreign minister spoke in tehran as negotiations with other world powers resumed in vienna. >> ( translated ): if we get to a stage where reaching a good deal with strong guarantees necess

do you expect kevin mccarthy's reign, assuming donald trump doesn't take it from him and become speaker himself, to simply be an ongoing witch hunt against democrats like yourself? >> let me first say that last week the economists poll had democrats ahead in the generic congressional ballot. we have every reason and motivation and indication we'd hold the house. to answer your hyper threaten kill. i think president biden asked a very good question, which is what are republicans for and right now we don't know what they're for other than for vengeance. you see kevin mccarthy saying he wants to throw off committee without giving a reason to what other democrats may have done wrong. you look purely at a vengeance motivated kind of campaign. they're in this for power. they don't have any policies for american people. >> in it for owning the libs. "rolling stone" has a few good pieces out. one of them, start the steal. emails reveal a plot to hand the state of arizona to trump. here is sort of by line from it or the bottom line here. exclusive emails obtained by rolling stone expose an attem

and then she wrote a letter, her group wrote a letter seeking to have kevin mccarthy remove liz cheney and adam kinzinger. a current member told me that she is part of the group because she is married to clarence. asking to have the name withheld because he said she is volatile and the best word to describe her is tribal. you are part of the group or the enemy. this volatile and edgy person is now calling the shots with mccarthy about stripping them of their committee assignments. does she hold sway with mccarthy? >> the thing is, i can tell you from interviewing people, clarence thomas and true of any of the justices have unbeliefible power in this country. people were afraid to say anything on the record about it because these are enormously powerful people, the supreme court justices, and nobody wants to be seen crossing the wife of one but they're appalled. for instance that bit you just quoted from the letter she signed basically saying that the january 6 congressional select committee is illegitimate and no right to question people. that was the issue that was in front of the cou

. >> did anybody here kevin mec mccarthy? >> he's not a kevin mccarthy fan. they want matt gaetz out there, saying things like that, because they believe their beth hope at keeping power is to pain the republicans as extremists coming in, and they would wield the gavel and have unilateral subpoena power in the house. >> john, it's also why kevin mccarthy is hoping and praying for a big sweep in the fall. he wants to dilute the power of figures like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene, and the new freshmen, the more juice and leverage he has in trying to keep the more marginal figures in the conference. >> a great reminder as we wind down january. we have a fascinating year. >> can't wait. >> a lot can happen. >>> the former alaska governor is sue the "new york times." the trial was to begin today, but the judge says that palin tested positive. get $1,500 lease cash toward a 2022 rx 350. ♪ ♪(music)♪ at aetna® we're shifting medicare coverage into high gear with benefits you may be eligible for when you turn 65. benefits that may include dental, vision

remember, kevin mccarthy, when the january 6th subpoena started serving subpoenas on phone companies, kevin mccarthy vowed we will seek retribution on the phone companies who have done nothing wrong by implying with subpoenas. bigger picture, if the executive branch turns over in 2024 or whenever, then it will be pay back time. that i think is what is so danger on us here. >> another story that caught people's attention, in virginia, the republican, the new republican attorney general of virginia, has removed the university of virginia's legal counsel, the official legal counsel of the university of virginia. that person also happens to be serving temporarily for the january 6th select committee. now, there were other counsels at public universities also removed from their post. apparently the attorney general has ability to remove or appoint as he or she sees fit. but some look at the removal of this counsel serving on the january 6th committee as being perhaps political. how do you see it? >> reporter: yeah. there are some facts we still need to know. as you know, john, a few dozen

and so you know, we've already seen the requests by a few members of congress, kevin mccarthy, the republican leader, rejected it, and so you know, it looks like, if they really want to try to secure testimony from these folks, the subpoena might be the way they need to do but they might not be able to enforce it. >> with the national archives turning over those documents, with the talk of subpoenas with the possibility of public hearings, maybe even prime time public hearing, it sounds like the committee is heading to an aggressive new phase. thank you for being here today. >>> still ahead, at least three law enforcement officers were gunned down, the line of duty over the weekend, and a man hunt is under way for a suspect in one of those incidents. >>> plus, across the united states, covid-19 cases are finally falling. what dr. anthony fauci is saying about that trend, those stories and a check of the weather when we come back. k of the weather w we come back entresto is the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists and has helped over one million people. it was proven supe

mccarthy, congressman jim jordan and even fox host sean hannity. despite text messages from hannity urging members of the administration to make trump back off the big lie, it continues. trump's former white house communications director thinks we're about to really see what was going on behind the scenes. >> i think you will see the anatomy of the big lie begin to unfold when you see more text messages come out of people around trump who knew the election fraud was a total myth. they were humoring him and privately saying, yeah, we can't keep spreading this craziness. i think that chips away at trump's credibility and gets to him. >> former white house press secretary and communications director stephanie grisham joins me. stephanie, thanks for joining us tonight. so do you agree with your former colleague, will the anatomy of the big lie eventually unfold? >> thank you for having me and welcome back, by the way. >> thank you. >> yes, i agree with alyssa fully. i think layers are being peeled off like an onion to show everybody around the presiden

kevin mccarthy just had monster haul last week, roughly a $10 million fundraiser in d.c. republicans are breaking all kind of fundraising records. the house is going to come back to being in republican control, the senate will come back to republican control and then we'll see what happens next year between that and the presidency. >> right. and it's no question that in terms of congress the trump effect is going to be beneficial in 2022 but i'm looking at governor's races. charlie baker resigning, that seat will go democrat, there is no question. then -- trump getting involved -- >> it's massachusetts. >> but trump getting involved in governor kemp's race, that could easily become a stacey abrams held seat. >> it's a purple -- georgia is a purple state. >> it wasn't before donald trump. >> it's been trending -- it's been trending in the wrong direction for republicans for years. >> let me see if alyssa agrees with you that if the 2024 election were held today donald trump would win the republican primary and win the white house. >> absolutely. >> i know you think about t

well, house republican leader kevin mccarthy also addressed the u.s. conference of mayors on friday and talked about ways mayors can work with congress on legislation that will help americans. here is what house leader had to say [video clip] >> we vote together more than we vote apart. there is a lot of great friendships internally but what happens is technology also does other things. the elections say about somebody you don't know and you say things differently. television stations give us opinions and you can give whatever you want philosophically. as elected leaders we should push to the places of how do we find greater common ground? i love the idea of laboratories throughout and i promise you this, i am not shy. i will steal any good idea you have. i will give you credit but i will take a lot of credit myself because i stole it. [laughter] to be competitive for the future i think the two greatest threats is the amount of debt federally and china. they are taking critical minerals and others and i would never bet against this country because we a

kevin mccarthy's got -- $2 million to political campaigns. would you renounce donations affiliating from corporations profiting from china? >> i will renounce any that are sponsoring this genocide olympics, and they have lobbied heavily to kill an amendment to the defense bill that i had that said they shouldn't be making millions off defense contracts and pumping billions into china's military build up through its civil military fusion. where is a level of corporate patriotism here, and many of these companies preach social justice and good corporate governance here. they want to boycott major league baseball in georgia and take stands here. that doesn't stop at america's shores, particularly when you have an ongoing genocide as defined by multiple administrations and including this state department, again, when it comes to women's rights, when you have mass rape, sterilization and abortion campaign going on, that is gross, disgusting, these companies should be ashamed of themselves, and i certainly wouldn't take a dollar for them. >> plenty

mccarthy and mitch mcconnell signaling some support for changing the electoral count act. look, president biden's policy to the build back better form and the agenda are popular with the american people, but he's handicapped with an entire political party working against him and two members of his own political party making it incredibly difficult. so with pressure ramping up for action, is it time for the administration to think a little bit smaller and actually deliver? joining me now is danielle melfi. she's the executive director of build back better, an organization that works on the president's agenda. the law that allowing members of congress to dispute election results, let's say the electoral count act, griffin, the white house official, was asked about reworking that law. that's been a hot topic. let's take a listen. >> is it fair to say, cedric, that the electoral college is where all the action is going to be when it comes to election reform. >> absolutely not. we're still working on the john lewis voting rights bill. we're very focused on all the pieces of leg

and i think that that's exactly where kevin mccarthy is. so what you're really saying is nationalizing the elections. you know, you had a backbone and you would fight and i think that's what made you successful, i think. and well,su you were the architect of you know, it started with renewing american civilization. you talk candidates how to be a candidate. b to be honest. a lot of candidates frankly were not very skilled and i'm saying that very diplomatically. but you started there with ideas. it became a contract, a set of promises. i like the idea of signingyo your name, making a promise, fighting to keep itur and runnig as a united team. this is what we'll do. give us the ball.do we t want to do these things no. look, i believe in that you and i might not totally agree on timing. remember we didn't release it until late september and the reason was you don't quite knowe what the biggest issues are . ing to be by midsummer and so you want to have a contract that people can can . al with but the training program, the education, the think

because he is intimidating people like lindsey graham, and kevin mccarthy, and other republican leaders. and perhaps, when he is gone, they will be less intimidated and return to the side of people who care about democracy and want to preserve it. but what i'm trying to say, is that democracy is -- tonight. >> well, i think your message about people getting into the game as you said, applies to all of us now. to all citizens. this is not just something that we just want to get into politicians for. i don't appreciate the. but i appreciate -- he is a noted bowl historian and his latest book is called presidents of war. coming up, a live at the white house that will set the presidents for a year to come. when the 11th hour continues. detective les zoeller this american carnage stops right here, and stops right now. [applause] >> the last thing before we go tonight. remembering a performance that set the tone for years to come. five years ago yesterday donald trump was sworn in as the 45th president in front of a crowd in the national hall. it's not obvious that the 2019 -- and all of that
