and the republican party looks like an embarrassment right now. the 20 that are doing this, they have done a good job. they need to keep talking, and then they need to do what every single successful person does, you take your deal, you take your win, you take your victory lap, and let s move on, and let s get on with business. wow, rare agreement between president biden and republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. both labeling the mutiny among the house republicans as embarrassing. this morning, there is still no speaker of the house. welcome to morning joe, it s thursday, january 5th. along with joe, willie, and me we have congressional investigations reporter for the washington post , jackie alemany, sam stein, the founder of the bulwark, charlie sykes, and white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire. still no speaker. i feel like what we saw yesterday, and we ll talk about that and show members of congress speaking on the floor but we re beginn
member to donald trump about his lack of influence on this process. he is really been pushed to the wayside jonathan lemire in this instance, anyway, doesn t mean he doesn t have influence on the party, but they re just not listening to him. he has said more clearly than he said a couple of days ago, kevin mccarthy is the guy, some of these other people low temperature their day, but it s not now. vote for kevin, and six times, 19, 20 members have gone out and said we re not doing it. a couple of republicans were struck. they think this is the first time that the word loser is being attached to trump. he s on a losing streak in terms of elections but it s this one, the 2022 midterms is the first time where he s really being blamed. you cost us stuff. it was your candidates who have gone down to defeat the chaos you created and his evolution is interesting on mccarthy, where, you know, mccarthy begged for forgiveness after january 6th. trump dangled the endorsement. finally came in lu
kevin mccarthy. there s a lot at play here right now. you know, willie, it s interesting that yesterday when jonathan lemire gave us the information, and by the way, we re going to talk about jonathan about the denver signing in boston. something for he and barnicle to smile about. but yesterday when jonathan gave the breaking news that donald trump had posted on truth social, that people should support mccarthy, let s take the win. let s move forward. i will say, proving once again, i m always wrong about donald trump, proving that once again when carvel said it s not going to make a difference, he s done. i was like, well, i m not so sure about that, and sure enough. i mean, lauren boebert goes on the floor and basically says, no, not going to listen to you.
politico, jonathan lemire. still no speaker. i feel like what we saw yesterday, and we ll talk about that and show members of congress speaking on the floor but we re beginning to really see trump s irrelevance play out. secondly, no speaker new york city swearing in, no house right now. is it beyond embarrassing? is there a danger to this? there s a danger for the republican party, and it really underlines what a lot of people already thought about the republican party, the most important voters in america, the swing voters, independents, former republicans in suburbs in places like atlanta, and philadelphia, people who were republicans their whole life who say this party is whacked out. i can t vote for them anymore. they re surrounded by insurrectionists, weirdos and freaks. there s a great danger for republicans. as far as the rest of the country goes, this too will pass
