MARIA: ALL RIGHT.
REPUBLICAN HOUSE LEADER KEVIN
MCCARTHY VOWING TO REOF MOVE
THREE DEMOCRATS FROM TOP
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES WHEN HE
BECOMES THE NEXT HOUSE SPEAKER.
TELLING ME YESTERDAY ON SUNDAY
MORNING FUTURES HE WILL NOT
ALLOW CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN CON
SWALWELL AND ADAM SCHIFF TO
SERVE ON THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE AND WILL REOF MOVE
ILAN OMAR.
JOINING US THIS MORNING, DAGEN
McDOWELL, TODD PIRO, AND HE
WILL JOIN US IN A MOMENT.
TAKING EBB, INTERESTING TO HEAR
-- DAGEN, INTERESTING TO HEAR
SOME OF THE PLANS IN PLACE ONCE
KEVIN MCCARTHY TAKES THE GAVEL
BUT HE’S GETTING PUSHBACK FROM ANDY BIGGS, AMONG OTHERS.
ANDY BIGGS, AMONG OTHERS.
DAGEN: IT’S ASTONISHING ASTONIS
OMAR IS ON THE COMMITTEE OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
THIS IS A DECADE AGO WHERE SHE
SAID ISRAEL HAS HYPNOTIZED THE
WORLD, MAY ALLAH AWAKEN THE
PEOPLE AND HELP THEM SEE THE
EVIL DOINGS OF ISRAEL.
WHY SHE HAS BEEN -- GOTTEN THE
ASSIGNMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE
YEARS AGO REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
SO KEVIN MCCARTHY IS MOVING
AHEAD WITH THIS.
I’M NOT DISMISSING IT.
BUT HIS JOB ASSUMING HE DOES GET
ELECTED SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS
GOING TO BE A GREAT DEAL BIGGER
IN TERMS OF CORRALLING HIS OWN
CAUCUS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF -- WHEN
THE DEMOCRATS WERE IN CHARGE,
WHEN NANCY PELOSIS WAS HOUSE
SPEAKER, I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE
THERE WERE 13 REPUBLICANS WHO
VOTED FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE
BILL ALONG WITH DEMOCRATS AND
THERE WERE 24 HOUSE REPUBLICANS
WHO BROKE WITH THE PARTY AND
VOTED FOR THAT SEMICONDUCTOR
BOONDOGGLE SO MCCARTHY NEEDS TO
CORRAL HIS OWN CAUCUS THE WAY
THAT NANCY PELOSI WAS ABLE TO
WRANGLE THE DEMOCRATS TO MAKE
SURE EVERYBODY’S IN LINE.
THE JOURNAL WRITES TODAY ABOUT
THE FARM BILL HAD THAT IS COMING
UP FOR -- FARM BILL THAT IS
COMING UP FOR RENEWAL, A
$1.3 TRILLION SPENDING PACKAGE
OVER S 0 OF YEARSPACKAGEOVER 10
REQUIRE MCCARTHY AND FELLOW
REPUBLICANS TO REIN IN THE FOOD
STAMP PROGRAM WHICH WAS EXPANDED
DURING COVID.
LET’S SEE IF THEY HAVE THE
TAMARITY AND AT THE TENACITY TO
THAT.
MARIA: WITH A SLIMMER MAJORITY
IT WILL BE HARDER TO WRANGLE IN
COMMON GROUND ON ALL THAT AS
WELL.
IT’S A GREAT POINT YOU RAISED.
WE’LL SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.
HE’LL NEED 218 VOTES FROM THE
FLOOR TO GET THE SPEAKER’S
GAVEL.
TODD PIRO JOINING THE
CONVERSATION AS WELL.
TODD, YOUR THOUGHTS ON SOME OF
THESE PLANS IN PLACE, NOT JUST
PLANS TO INVESTIGATE THE BIDEN
FAMILY, THE FBI, BUT ALSO TO
REMOVE PEOPLE FROM THESE
COMMITTEES.
KEVIN MCCARTHY TOLD ME YESTERDAY
ABOUT ALL THREE.
AND LET’S NOT FORGET HOW ADAM
SCHIFF LIED TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, STRAIGHT AWAY, DURING
THE RUSSIA COLLUSION LIE WHEN HE
SAID THERE WAS RUSSIA COLLUSION
IN PLAIN SIGHT.
HE KNEW BETTER.
AT THAT TIME HE WAS THE CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE.
>> THERE ISES JUSTIFYABLE
REASONS FOR THOSE THREE
INDIVIDUALS TO BE REMOVED FROM
THEIR VARIOUS COMMITTEES.
TO DAGENS’ POINT, IT IS VITAL
THAT REPUBLICANS START PLAYING
TOUGH, START PLAYING ROUGH, DO
WHAT NANCY PELOSI DID TO DAGEN’S
POINT.
NANCY PELOSI PLAYED POLITICS
BETTER THAN ALMOST ANYBODY AND
SHE GOT A LOT OF DEMOCRAT THINGS
PASSED, GOT A LOT OF DEMOCRATIC
PRIORITIES MOVED THROUGH.
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE HAVE TO
START -- STOP TRYING TO BE
FRIENDS AND MAYBE LOOK A LITTLE
BIT MORE TOWARD HOW THE SENATE
REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE THINGS
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
YOU WON, ELECTIONS HAVE
CONSEQUENCES, THAT PHRASE WE
KEEP HEARING BUT IT’S TRUE.
YOU NEED TO UTILIZE THAT.
YOU MAKE THE GREAT POINT, MARIA,
THAT YOU DON’T HAVE A HUGE
MAJORITY BUT YOU HAVE A
MAJORITY, WHETHER YOU WIN THE
