boehner, people see as the establishment wing of the republican party. so he's working hard to try to win support from the trump wing. the speech was a long kind of rambling speech. he quoted all kinds of topics, even things like afghanistan policy and he had a section about elon musk that had nothing to do with the bill. but, again, this was about getting attention and raising his profile and winning support from trump and people close to trump, and he did achieve that. >> all right, thank you both so much. >>> next, the maga gop becoming more and more radicalized. what does that mean for the future of the republican party? depends who you ask. >>> this could be the week the supreme court decides whether delegating enforcement of texas' restrictive abortion law to the public is legal. joe wine-banks will join me to talk through the precedent this ruling will set. with fidelity income planning, we'll look at what you've saved, what you'll need, and help you build a flexible plan for cash flow designed to last. so you can go from saving... to living. ♪â

it doesn't matter how you feel positively what you thought about john boehner. having the member, the speaker of the house being from your state is incredibly advantageous to the state. the notion that you wouldn't consider that in the process that you some kind of computer that wouldn't ignore that, strikes me as brain dead. >> professor wise we have a question about your comment about racial majorities and minorities. the census says that census projections show that the white population will become less of 15% in the next one to two decades. is the majority, is the majority, and the majority, how do you draw districts and deal with population changes? >> we are looking at macro numbers. the white population is shrinking nationally, or within the states. distracting is done on a local specific basis. you have to look at the numbers on the ground where you are. you are also in situations where, this is something i've seen in new york city years back, you might have a minority white population in an area, or a black or hispanic population, but the white voters m

go back in time to when barack obama was president and remember how john boehner used to go behind closed doors with barack obama and to the public he would say, were not going to increase the debt ceiling, we are going to stand strong. and next thing you know, here we come with a debt ceiling increase again. this led to the tea party takeover, right? in my viewpoint it seems like republicans are a lot more willing to reach out and discuss possible collaborations with the democrats. but the democrats, as they have become infiltrated with the far left, the socialist, collectivist types, they don't want to have any type of discussions, rational or otherwise, with republicans. and look, look at the squad on capitol hill. that underscores my point. host: there is a viewer who makes this analogy. she says, the republican party is the same as the reagan party today. would you agree? guest: maybe. honestly, without doing a little research to flush out my opinion. host: let's go to danville, virginia. you are on with cheryl chumley. good morning, go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. pedro, i hope

when he thought he was going to be elevated to the speakership following the retirement of john boehner and he could not corral sufficient votes within his own caucus to become speaker of the house. he has never forgotten that, the embarrass that came with thinking he was going to be speaker and realizing he didn't have the oats votes of his own team to get there i promise you that's what's informing his handling of this situation. he needs marjorie taylor green, matt gaetz if he hasn't been expelled by then. he needs caw torn thou, and he certainly needs donald trump. for kevin mccarthy there is no moral question here in terms of his own leadership. it is a calculus of what gets him the speaker's gavel about a year from now. that is it. that defines mccarthy's behavior even if it means courting marjory tsai taylor green and the others. >> i understand that to be an astute and accurate analysis. but to spare kevin mccarthy embarrassment, we are talking violence, threats of violence. if any of us issued those threats of violence to the president the fbi and the secret service would be on

you know, causing mccarthy a lot of problems, reminiscent of what john boehner was dealing with the rise of the house freedom caucus. i will spoil one of the great lines that michael steele gave to us. encapsulating what mccarthy successfully did. if your job is moving the minority in the house to the majority, you need to focus on addition, not subtraction. that means keeping all the frogs in the wheel barrow, even though some of them are pretty ugly. i think that's what you saw mccarthy trying to do this week. the uglies being some of this pretty violent and horrific rhetoric not being condemned. whether these tactics are good for americans is a different story but it is a strategy i think some republicans can understand especially as the chances for the republicans taking back the house look better than ever right now for a hot in the party. and mccarthy did get that trump endorsement, that stamp of approval. the email went out shortly after he left the floor this morning, praising mccarthy for his performness. >> i can't imagine what it is like to live for the praise by carrier pigeo
