00:01.100 --> 00:02.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
speaker Kevin McCarthy
struck a deal to

00:02.866 --> 00:04.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
quell internal
rebellion in the house

00:04.900 --> 00:06.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Republican conference
this week the

00:06.933 --> 00:09.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
result of a handful
of hard-line members

00:09.300 --> 00:11.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
dissatisfaction with
the debt ceiling

00:11.333 --> 00:13.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
compromise Lisa
Desjardins brings us up

00:13.666 --> 00:15.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to speed now on what
happened and what

00:15.833 --> 00:17.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it means for the
House GOP Lisa good to

00:17.866 --> 00:20.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
see you hi so help
us understand how has

00:20.100 --> 00:22.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this small group of
hardliners gained

00:22.600 --> 00:24.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
enough power to
control the workflow of

00:24.833 --> 00:26.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the entire House of
Representatives this

00:26.500 --> 00:27.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
would be like me
taking over the show

00:27.766 --> 00:29.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
right now when I'm
not even the anchor

00:29.566 --> 00:31.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but this comes down
to the margins in

00:31.800 --> 00:33.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the House of
Representatives let's take

00:33.033 --> 00:35.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a look at where
things stand in the

00:35.133 --> 00:37.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
house right now 218
votes is what you

00:37.766 --> 00:40.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
need for a majority
Republicans have

00:40.766 --> 00:43.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
222. so they've got
that majority but

00:43.100 --> 00:45.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
let's talk about
these 11 members who

00:45.033 --> 00:47.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
figured out let's
if you so look at

00:47.000 --> 00:49.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
those 11 members
then they have the

00:49.866 --> 00:52.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
power to control the
majority there they

00:52.566 --> 00:54.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
are and these members
have a few things

00:54.800 --> 00:56.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in common some are
members of the House

00:56.666 --> 00:58.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Freedom caucus but
one thread that runs

00:58.766 --> 01:00.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
through them Amna
when you talk talk

01:00.500 --> 01:02.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
about how they voted
for Kevin McCarthy

01:02.566 --> 01:05.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
on those first
Speaker votes most of

01:05.266 --> 01:08.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
them voted no and
that is a significant

01:08.733 --> 01:10.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
threat here when you
look at these names

01:10.300 --> 01:11.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this is a group
that does not have a

01:11.633 --> 01:13.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
name of its own
it's not the freedom

01:13.233 --> 01:14.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
caucus but these are
the names I watch

01:14.933 --> 01:16.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
when I look at the
voting board and so

01:16.500 --> 01:18.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
does Kevin McCarthy
so what about the

01:18.233 --> 01:19.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
timing why is this
group taking this

01:19.966 --> 01:22.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
stand now this was
coming out of the

01:22.233 --> 01:23.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
debt ceiling deal as
you said and let's

01:23.933 --> 01:25.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
say happened
spontaneously on the floor

01:25.833 --> 01:27.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
those frustrations
bubbled up they

01:27.833 --> 01:29.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
realized they did
not have the votes to

01:29.700 --> 01:31.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
oust McCarthy they
did have the votes to

01:31.900 --> 01:34.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
freeze the entire
house floor for a week

01:34.066 --> 01:36.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
so that's what they
did house house

01:36.600 --> 01:38.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
leadership responded
to this well today

01:38.566 --> 01:40.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the House Majority
Whip who counts the

01:40.266 --> 01:42.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
votes tried to put a
good face on it Tom

01:42.433 --> 01:43.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
emmer

01:43.700 --> 01:45.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
as with every team
the Republican house

01:45.633 --> 01:47.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
majorities had to
learn how to work

01:47.233 --> 01:50.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
together to build
that success and as

01:50.133 --> 01:52.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
with every team you
win some games and

01:52.633 --> 01:55.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you lose some every
now and then too but

01:55.233 --> 01:56.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you always come out
stronger and that's

01:56.900 --> 01:59.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
exactly what we've done so

01:59.066 --> 02:01.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
house Democrats
say they think the

02:01.366 --> 02:03.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Republicans aren't
shambles this is not

02:03.266 --> 02:04.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
just about internal
Party politics

02:04.900 --> 02:06.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
obviously they're real world

02:06.000 --> 02:07.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
implications what do we need to

02:07.433 --> 02:09.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
understand about why
this matters this

02:09.333 --> 02:10.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is why I think it's
important we're

02:10.600 --> 02:12.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
talking about this
tonight to get the

02:12.700 --> 02:14.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
house moving again
which happened just

02:14.333 --> 02:16.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in the past few
hours Kevin McCarthy

02:16.666 --> 02:19.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
struck a deal with
these 11 members and

02:19.200 --> 02:20.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I want to go through some of the

02:20.400 --> 02:22.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
elements of that deal this is a

02:22.000 --> 02:24.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
handshake first of
all he agreed to a

02:24.033 --> 02:26.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
vote to reverse a gun
restriction that's

02:26.400 --> 02:28.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
significant for
conservatives But

02:28.000 --> 02:30.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
ultimately we don't
think that vote will

02:30.466 --> 02:32.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
change law because
of the Biden white

02:32.433 --> 02:34.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
house but he also
agreed to a 100

02:34.900 --> 02:37.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
billion dollars
worth of additional

02:37.533 --> 02:39.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
spending cuts on
top of that debt

02:39.766 --> 02:41.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
ceiling deal what
could that mean well

02:41.933 --> 02:43.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
if Republicans do
it the way they want

02:43.800 --> 02:46.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that would mean
about 30 percent cuts

02:46.866 --> 02:49.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
for everything except
for defense and

02:49.633 --> 02:52.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Veterans now this
isn't just an idea

02:52.933 --> 02:54.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
right now the House
Appropriations

02:54.600 --> 02:57.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Committee as we speak
are moving all of

02:57.066 --> 02:58.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
their Appropriations
and spending bills

02:58.700 --> 03:00.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and they are cutting
it down to that

03:00.733 --> 03:02.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
lower level lower
than the deal with

03:02.566 --> 03:03.900 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
President Biden

03:03.900 --> 03:06.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
what we think will
happen is these Cuts

03:06.566 --> 03:08.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
will be passed by the
house in some form

03:08.633 --> 03:10.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
potentially and
then the Senate will

03:10.900 --> 03:13.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
pass a very different deal

03:13.000 --> 03:15.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and then we could
have yes another

03:15.333 --> 03:18.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
fiscal standoff
in September over

03:18.100 --> 03:19.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Government funding
this is heading to

03:19.900 --> 03:23.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
another significant
fiscal cliff what

03:23.133 --> 03:25.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
does all this mean
for what's ahead for

03:25.233 --> 03:26.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
congress outside of
just the potential

03:26.800 --> 03:28.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
fiscal cliff there
we're in for a roller

03:28.966 --> 03:30.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
coaster ride you
know speaking to some

03:30.633 --> 03:32.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of these members I
spoke to one today

03:32.333 --> 03:34.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Ralph Norman of South
Carolina I said is

03:34.433 --> 03:36.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this case by case do
you have a deal for

03:36.466 --> 03:37.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
months now with the
speaker he said no

03:37.966 --> 03:40.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this is Case by case
we could come back

03:40.133 --> 03:41.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
next week and say we don't like

03:41.433 --> 03:43.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
something that speaker
McCarthy is doing

03:43.133 --> 03:44.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and we could block
another rules vote

03:44.866 --> 03:48.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
just like this so
the house floor will

03:48.166 --> 03:50.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
be very dramatic and
it could be hard to

03:50.333 --> 03:52.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
predict also speaker
McCarthy does not

03:52.966 --> 03:56.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
have let's say job
security right now

03:56.233 --> 03:58.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and he he has to
walk a very careful

03:58.700 --> 04:00.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
line and he's going to have very

04:00.266 --> 04:01.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
difficult decisions
to make when it

04:01.600 --> 04:02.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
comes to that
potential government

04:02.800 --> 04:05.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
shutdown uh debate
that we could have at

04:05.200 --> 04:06.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the end of or the
beginning of the Fall

04:06.566 --> 04:08.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you've also been
covering of course how

04:08.133 --> 04:09.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Republicans are
responding to the

04:09.766 --> 04:11.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
historic indictment and today's

04:11.066 --> 04:12.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
arraignment to former
president Trump

04:12.633 --> 04:14.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's not just what
they're saying but

04:14.500 --> 04:15.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
what they're doing
right tell us about

04:15.933 --> 04:17.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
some of the actions
you've seen this was

04:17.866 --> 04:19.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
significant today at
the top of the list

04:19.666 --> 04:21.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I want to talk about
Senator J.D Vance

04:21.600 --> 04:24.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of Ohio he has made
a threat and I'm

04:24.900 --> 04:26.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
trying to find out
if he's actually put

04:26.566 --> 04:30.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
this in process yet
he's about to to

04:30.033 --> 04:33.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
block every Biden
Administration nominee

04:33.600 --> 04:36.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to the Department of
Justice while this

04:36.600 --> 04:38.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
trial is ongoing
it seems to be his

04:38.266 --> 04:41.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
implication now right
now there are two

04:41.400 --> 04:44.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
nominees on the Senate
calendar one is a

04:44.100 --> 04:46.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
U.S attorney the
chief prosecutor for a

04:46.500 --> 04:48.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
district in Mississippi
the other is the

04:48.766 --> 04:51.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
woman who's nominated
to head the office

04:51.533 --> 04:53.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that oversees basically domestic

04:53.566 --> 04:55.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
violence violence
against women act both

04:55.733 --> 04:57.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of those nominations could be in

04:57.400 --> 04:59.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
complete limbo as
could any other

04:59.700 --> 05:02.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
prosecutors that the
president wants to

05:02.333 --> 05:04.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
nominate that's
just one thing in

05:04.666 --> 05:06.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
addition to that we
know that some House

05:06.166 --> 05:08.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Republicans want to
vote to defund the

05:08.266 --> 05:09.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
special prosecutor
make sure he can't

05:09.833 --> 05:11.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
actually go ahead
with his prosecution

05:11.566 --> 05:13.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that's unlikely to
pass through Congress

05:13.800 --> 05:16.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but they are taking
moves to censure

05:16.533 --> 05:18.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
people who've been
involved in past

05:18.033 --> 05:20.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
investigations like
Adam Schiff there

05:20.100 --> 05:22.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
could be a house
vote against him even

05:22.166 --> 05:23.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
though he's not involved in this

05:23.366 --> 05:25.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
