[applause] unfortunately, the corporate media and increasingly these days the board room is eating the corporate left. those who criticize or oppose ideas are often silenced or canceled. if you say for instance that the wuhan coronavirus just might, perhaps maybe came from a lab in wuhan where they researched coronaviruses, i know it is crazy. the corporate media will say you were spreading lies and conspiracy theories. the list goes on and on and on. college administrators disinvited speakers, amazon removes books. social media companies deplatform conservatives while conspiring to suppress information about hunter biden that is unflattering. although is there any other kind?

kamala harris, or marco rubio or nikki haley. do you think they can draw crossover votes? i should point out that the kamala harris number this morning was 28% in terms of her overall favorability. any thoughts? michael: i think increasingly voters are evaluating candidates as individuals, at least in the cases where they get to know something about those candidates, rather than it is the black candidate, the white candidate, the ethnic candidate, whatever. we are more open to voting on bases on those individuals. we have seen this in the performance of tim scott in south carolina in a positive way. remember that he won his first big victory that propelled him to congress by winning a republican primary in a large majority white congressional district, including against one of the candidates who was the son of strom thurmond. what we have seen also, interestingly enough, and i'm not sure that i protected this or that anybody predicted this, we have seen increased percentages for republican candidates among hispanic voters, at the same time that we have seen increased perce

since the 2024 presidential election is a choice between donald trump and joe biden or kamala harris and donald trump what are the credible third-party candidate? who wants to take that one first? >> i don't think very high right now. with donald trump and hillary clinton, each very unpopular nominees, we only saw 20% of americans who had an unfavorable opinion of both. that is from which a third candidate would draw. trump and biden have nearly identical favorability ratings, about 42.5% positive and 50% thing negative. that means there is only 15% maximum and that is not enough ground for a third-party candidate. you would have to see abandonment by party activists or strong, normal voters who are not activists. it would be somewhere in the 30's where you would have enough of a voter pool that a third-party challenge could emerge. right now it is just not present. karlyn: any others? michael? michael: i would say henry's citation of 2016 is on point. i think also the kind of third-party candidate that might emerge is likely to get attention, in particular coverage of the press, is

but now, with joe biden and kamala harris in the white house, we are in a much different place. our pro-israel friends in the democratic party, and thankfully, there's still a few of them, they insist that biden is not as bad as bernie sanders and the squad. i think that might be true, but that's like saying you would rather have a d than an f. one grade is better than the other but neither is one to write home about. the biden approach to iran is dangerous and the biden approach to the palestinians is terribly counterproductive. now, i'm not one to lecture a democratic elected government of a u.s. ally. the israelis are fully capable of making their own decisions. they should be free to do what's in their best interest without american politicians micromanaging them from 5000 miles away. so, i'm not giving advice, but i will offer a couple of friendly observations for the new israeli government to consider. number one, on iran, i wish it wasn't so, but you cannot count on the biden administration to stop the a rainy and nuclear program -- iranian nuclear program. [applause] you

i voted for biden and i vote for kamala. and when you look at the headlines you see now that cameras harris is having -- kamala harris is having some infighting and is in a stalemate position as to they don't know ha do with the vice president. she seems often that she backpedals or it seems that she speaks around in circles about the issues that are directed toward her and what our president is doing. i at this point and i feel that i will not be voting for biden again. i will not. and for the last few days, i've been saying to my family, i regret, i truly regret that i gave him my vote. i hope this changes soon because we are -- the people, we're not doing well and i feel like we're voiceless. and the definition of bipartisan, i love the caller from louisiana. he said it perfectly, that there shouldn't be us against you or we won or we didn't win this. it's about getting what needs to be done for the people. thank you, "washington journal." thank you for taking my call. host: rhonda, to what you referenced those reports ab

we also had the opportunity to hear vice president kamala harris not be quiet. when we talk about congressional black caucus, let me talk about vice president kamala harris, a former member of the congressional black caucus, thank you, vice president harris, for lead big example. getting out there fighting for our democracy and making sure that this is good for america. and as we talk about breaking news and not being quiet, and women, black women, taking leadership roles, it gives me great pleasure to introduce and yield to our newest member of the congressional black caucus. someone that comes with a lot of leadership, talent, and skill. it is a double honor for me because she represents the great state of ohio. you know, it's always good, madam speaker, when off partner. so to be able to have a partner in ohio's 11th district gives me great honor. someone who works hard. fights for her community. and understands the value of build back better. and what it will do with this once in a generation action. transformational legislation. so madam speaker, that perso

youngkin one despite president biden and kamala harris campaigning for mcculloch. -- mccauliffe. >> youngkin campaigned on immediately improving schools and lowering taxes. he opposes teaching critical race theory, and was vocal about being against covid mask and vaccine mandates. >> the challenge of overcoming a culture where the state overwhelms self empowerment is all too common. for too long, we've been exact -- expected to shelve our dreams, to settle for low expectations. we will not be a commonwealth of low expectations, we will be a commonwealth of high expectations. >> voters saw the economy at the top issue, followed by the coronavirus pandemic, a coding -- according to a survey. voters ranked the economy as their number one priority, compared to 17% saying covid-19, and 14% saying education with their focus. virginia had a lieutenant governor race, and the winner winsmoe sears, a republican, shared that dream. >> they would like us to believe that we are back in 1963. we can live where we want, we can eat where we want, we had a black president elected twice. and here, i am living

and every minute that we spend talking about 2020, while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi and i chuck schumer are playing ruin to this country. we better focus on that and take our eyes off the rear-view mirror and start looking through the windshield again. and there's the formula to do it. there's a formula to do it. in 2009, when i announced for governor of new jersey, a state that has not supported a republican presidential candidate for 35 years, a state that has not elected a republican to the united states senate in 50 years, the longest streak of any state in america. a pretty blue state. george w. bush's approval ratings in new jersey as he left office were 18%. 18%. on election day of 2009, barack obama's approval ratings in new jersey were +21. +21. and we won. in the face of barack obama who had won the year before by 17 points in new jersey, we won. there's a formula for doing it. and we need to get back to that. because it focuses on all four types of voters that we need to gather to win. first, first, we need to look at suburban voters.

i seem to remember a democratic debate where kamala harris called joe biden a racist proposing -- for opposing busing and keeping a young girl herself off the bus to go to an integrated school. it is not that both sides do not want history taught. it is not a history that sanitizes slavery. as a republican, i'm proud to be part of a party that was organized to stop slavery and give those former slaves their full political rights. i am proud of the fact that the republican has been forward leaning on knowing the history. but now, that history is being perverted into the idea that america was founded because of slavery and to guarantee that slavery would not go away and that america is bad because it has been primarily animated by people of the christian faith and was founded by people from europe and we have to end this. i think a lot of people out of caller and immigrants realize we are wasting time in school talking about things like gender, why america is a bad place, talking about climate change, talking about a political agenda. kids have their whole lives to do politics. when the

i watched kamala harris and joe biden overseas. i am baffled. i am a simple fellow. something is wrong here. when criminals can get away with what they have done to a sitting president -- these people tried to impeach a sitting president over a phone call. host: that is broader in illinois. stick around. lindsay more to talk about this morning. we will dive into a busy week in washington. we will be joined by a congressional reporter with the hill. carol will join us to discuss the senate's latest report. stick around. we will be right back. ♪ >> on this episode. >> he is a historian, tour guide and author. his latest book is called the last history of the capital. it is a history of many violent episodes around the capitol building from the founding of the city up until contemporary times. among many accomplishments, he has been a speechwriter for george herbert walker bush and a writer for the tonight show with jay leno. >> this week on the c-span network. both chambers of congress are in session. house speaker nancy pelosi delayed a vote on the bill before the v

kamala harris? are you kidding? first woman vice president? do nothing kamala. i can't believe democrats believe in this woman talking about e-verify. it was the democrats that took that out of the policy to do that. why was that? so they could keep the borders open and higher all the deplorable's coming across the border. host: you bring up a lot of issues, i want to give the congressman a chance to answer some. caller: as we all know -- guest: as well know, c-span is a valuable resource and people should consult c-span for the news. no secret that she and i agree on the border issues. i think the previous administration, president drum -- president trump had done finally what was required to get control of certainly the border we share with mexico in the state of texas. and then all of that was jettisoned on day one of the new administration and we see the result of that. people forget the other results. it's not just the television pictures of the people streaming across. there are probably double the number of deaths of people who have just simply run out of

refused to recognize his unfounded claims that the election was stolen, but he recognized joe biden and kamala harris, he helped defeat the president's bid to have the election overturned, very openly. i don't think you can ever solve those issues. with kevin mccarthy, they are clearly in a different place. a majority of house republicans voted to overturn the election during the certification process and kevin mccarthy regularly consults with donald trump on political matters, both because he believes that the president has very astute feedback to give him. this is part of what they did together in 2020. he believes by keeping the former president in the fold, he can keep him as a constructive force in the party, rather than throwing stones from the outside. the interesting thing is that donald trump never likes or appreciates anybody. he likes republicans as long as they do what he says. i don't know if republicans understand that there is no assuaging donald trump. there is no making him feel ok. there is no, look, everything is fine. he's never going to like anybody. he has a lot of contem

kamala harris could not come into say she represents the change. she's part of what's being voted against. they would have to take the populace anger and turn it into energy for the progressives. it would depend on who the republicans are. if they nominated somebody who, like trump, that person could win. the thing to remember is that if the biden administration goes into 2024 with a 42% job approval rating it would break down the label of democrats and you would have to find someone with strength who is able to claim they were not part of the problem. host: donald, go ahead. caller: i have got a couple of questions. when trump was in there, he answered any question from any reporter. not just the hand-picked ones. biden gets up there and he only takes one or two questions, runs off the stage. he only picks the people he knows and then he says i can't take any questions, i might get in trouble. who's he going to get in trouble with? that's my question. guest: you know, i think that biden's lack of transparency is well documented. he has held fewer

kamala harris. i believed what kamala harris said. she said this is a bellwether, what happens in virginia is an indicator what's going to happen in the future. she's right. but you know what? i love to study history. i watched the closing days of the campaign. because people are asking me, could youngkin win? it's so difficult but it's going to be close, but he put a good fight in there. right? i know terry mcauliffe. i watched him. how was he going to close? after everything that was going on, "the washington post," they are so smart in politics. you know what they wrote, madam speaker, after the last debate? this is the debate where terry mcauliffe said parents don't have a right in their children's education. he said terry mcauliffe put this race away. turned the campaign around. this is it. it's over. so every time they write an editorial about me, never wrote a good one, i know i'm on the right path. but. terry mcauliffe, with all that was going on in the schools, brings in randy. to tell the parents, you don't have a say. what

the southern border since president joe biden became president and our border czar, vice president kamala harris, still has no plan to support our border patrol. let's put this in perspective. there has been more illegal border crossing between the months of february and october under joe biden than in 2018, 2019, and 2020 combined. so when somebody asks me what does it mean if you have one party rule for one year, you get more illegal crossings simply from february to october than you did in 2018, 2019 and 2020 all combined. what do you think is going to happen after the billions of dollars you spend in this bill providing amnesty. that number will look small to you. but i'm sure, mr. speaker, some people say let's wait and see what the c.b.o. says. so when the c.b.o. comes back and tells you, you got millions more, it's ok, we'll still vote. let that sink in. what's the biden administration reaction? they're now considering paying illegal immigrants $450,000 per family. an action that president biden admits would incentivize more people to come other illegally. mr. speaker, we tell our

we totally disagree with the biden administration and kamala harris on what is going on at the border. i forgot -- host: rural broadband. guest: rural broadband. we have not even touch the surface as far as a lot of areas in rural america, especially in western kentucky, in my district. we still don't have rural broadband. what i want to examine is what has been happening to a lot of this rural broadband money that has been appropriated by congress because you have a lot of the big carriers that get money to put rural broadband in, and they may run it down the main road, but nobody is hooked onto it. they can check the box and say we have read the broadband down in this rural part of the state or wherever, but nobody is hooked onto it. it is not working out, and i think we need to re-examine where all of the previous rural broadband money has gone. the big carriers have read broadband where they can make money. where areas are populated. we have learned with virtual learning and the need for things like netflix and better communication to work from home types of software, you have got

speaker, when vice president kamala harris was asked about the border. she has a very definite laugh. you know what her answer was? haven't been to europe either. she can go to europe. people from europe are coming across that border too. she can go to russia, egypt, yemen. she can go around the world. speaking of safety and security, it's hardworking americans being ignored by democrat politicians. let's talk about law enforcement. mr. speaker, i remember on this floor in the last congress the chant, defund the police. i remember what this city looked like. i remember one night looking out on the rioters. i remember the speaker yelling about having the national guard at the lincoln memorial. that spread across america. i can't keep count of how many people die in chicago in one week. in minneapolis george floyd was murdered, shouldn't have been. when they decided to defund the police, it was on the ballots two weeks ago on tuesday. it failed. mr. speaker, you and i have known each other a long time. we are competitive. i know you didn't get to congress
