After trying to take our government hostage. My republicans won nothing. There was a lot more drama over in the house. Shannon. Democrats originally trying to stall the bill and sorry at speaker Kevin Mccarthy that he dropped the text last minute. And take a look at this. Capitol police now investigating new york congressman Jamaal Bowman after he pulled a fire alarm during the proceedings, as he claims that it was all an accident. Eventually, though, democrats helped mccarthy pass this bill. 90 republicans voted no. Hardliners who wanted the speaker to focus solely on passing a new, slimmer budget. But they tell us to pass a continuing resolution. So we wont have to pass another continued resolution. Well, that that line of thinking is like telling a crackhead that im going to give you more crack to get you off a crack shack. Shannon we start the new week here with questions about Speaker Mccarthys job. Congress Congressman Matt Gaetz reportedly says that he will, in fact, file a moti
we ve got 30% of the electricity that was from coal is not from coal today. 50 years from now, do you think folks will look back at this congress and say, boy, i m glad they worried too much about the fiscal and not enough about climate mitigation? there s a balance. there s always been a balance. i ve always said that, i m willing to find the balance. to do it in seven days, one week are you a hard no? on the 3.5? yes. yes. is there a number you can support? i haven t looked at that. responsibly and reasonably for a tax code this isn t a one-way negotiation. you re in the cat bird seat. you re the 50th vote. i have been giving. i m for an awful lot of the things. i m for also putting guardrails on. i think if you re going to make sure we re helping our children, let s make sure the children are getting the best benefit of that. let s make sure a guardian or parent is doing everything they can to nurture that child and
of conscience. do i think, by the way, that the speaker should have overridden the other party s selections even if you don t like them? no, i don t. i think that s a really dangerous precedent here. even someone like jim jordan given what he said on fox news yesterday about when he talked to the president, former president, even though he can be a witness? well, any one of those members could be a witness. they were all part of the event. and, again, remember, precedent setting is not if i agree or disagree. it s about does one party get to select everybody that agrees with them on any issue. i worry a little about that. we have two independent enough republicans that they re going to keep the guardrails on. it s a bad precedent and any one of these selections. i don t think that s helpful. why? because i want this to be a fact finding committee. i think it s really important for the country to hear some of
people than it does on the situation at hand. this is a historic moment, and this is a democracy-defending moment. no matter the consequence me and i know liz will stand to defend democracy. you can hear and see the emotion in his voice. what do you make of it? there are matters of conscience for members of congress. everybody faces them in your career. if you don t face one, you re probably not doing that job very well. this is certainly a matter of conscience for both liz cheney and and adam kinzinger. this is where they re making the mistake. there has to be someone there to keep the guardrails on. anyone wants to lurch to a political conclusion, you need somebody who thinks a little differently. they re going to think differently enough to get to the facts, keep it focused on the facts. republicans are wrong about this. listen, this to me was a matter
you re right this is a decision that got made because the president was angry and backed into a corner. there s this conflict within trump. this is something he has always been clear about. his protectionism on trade was something he sold to voters in those states that he won, those rust belt states. so this is sort of where donald trump has always wanted to go with the breakdown and the process in the white house of late around guns and around trade. you ve seen the people who wanted him to go in this direction kind of have their way and there was no place for cohen and those others to come in and sort of put the guardrails on. i think the conflict inside donald trump is not just that he s a protectionist on trade deep down and wants to do this and show strength, wants to foment a trade war, tweeting about it, using the words trade war. but the conflict is this is a president who wants to be liked, who wants to be lauded. when the wall street journal, when republican allies on capit
