And la county used the pandemic as an excuse to ban convictions indefinitely and we re seeing the federal government taking cues for them and policies nationwide. this has nothing to do with public health and if you see the entire country at a low level of covid transmission and end the pandemic today and how in the world can they predict an arbitrary date in the future and lawler does a supreme court have to do with this? laura: whole pandemic emergency declaring for states like pennsylvania, this was a total abuse of power and there was never going to be an end to it and they d have it go on for the next 25 years if they could. when you have any kind of medical issue in a pandemic emergency is a perfect example, there s an end point. when are we done? laura: objective standards in may of 2020. what are the objective metrics and they kept moving the goal post. here was congresswoman sheila jackson lee s response to the house vote. the pandemic is not over.
We re talking about desantis and this whole idea. this is why you should be teaching these things, right, in schools. i think that this can be a teachable moment. i hate that cliche, but i think you can keep splash mountain and whatever it was based on and then teach kids about it. look, splash mountain, you don t have to go to splash mountain. kids have to go to a school. i would prefer my kids not go to a school named robert e. leie, would prefer the name to come off of it. for a ride that is voluntary that has a history, you can leave it and teach kids to say, look, this ride was created around this movie, which was a stereotype of black, you know, whatever but i don t go to corporate media for teachable moments, unfortunately. you don t have to go to disney. no one is going to be at splash mountain thinking about eyes on the prize or something. it is a dopey ride. i think sometimes we let people move the goal post on culture war discussions by drawing people into this kind of battle
There s fascist and imperious ideology goes further there s been a similar tendency ideology goes further there s been a similar tendency in ideology goes further there s been a similar tendency in the ideology goes further there s been a similar tendency in the white - ideology goes further there s been a similar tendency in the white house | similar tendency in the white house over the abrams tanks. they say were not sending them, and then they do send them. do you sense there s been a lot of touring and flowing in the last few days and over the weekend? in a way is the white house related? yes that s exactly right. the germans kept moving the goal post. first they said no tanks. then you add countries that have bought german tanks that want to give those tanks to ukraine asking germany for permission for a third country transfer and german he said no. then germany said well 0k transfer and german he said no. then germany said well ok but we don t want to be alone. we don t want to be the only country that providing tanks. you have the uk step forward, poland, finland, spain, all saying we re ready to send tanks. then germany so as well, that s not good enough. we want americans to send tanks. if they do, then will send
We sit in judgment of our peers and it s just something i m not willing to talk about. how about marjorie taylor greene? what committee will she be on? i don t know what committee she s going to be on. i absolutely believe marjorie taylor greene should be seated on committees. every one of us represents 750,000 people, and there seems to be a distinction that we think we work for leadership. doesn t matter if it s democratic or republican leadership. we don t. we work for our constituents. i have the privilege of representing an entire state, and those are the people i work for. i don t work for either republican leadership or democratic leadership. when we send somebody to congress, they should get committee assignments. i mean, except for if it s, say, eric swalwell or adam schiff, or, you know, ilhan omar. well, as somebody who is defending our members, whether it was jim jordan or marjorie taylor greene, or paul gosar, or jim banks last congress, i made this same argument. i said, when you move the goal
He didn t accuse anyone ever whipping migrants. he said i will get money. he should apologize. no more goal posts moving. don t republicans accuse them of whipping? you brought it up. i have to interject and say that s not a goal post move. that was a requirement of the president who demeaned american citizens. presidency are not supposed to do and you would even agree to that. i would. that paper that abbott delivered that has 5 demands on it. governor abbott is very good at these stunts. the first thing is something that no president has ever done republican or democrat. to read the law in such a way that everyone should be
Think most people don t care much about process questions. if i was a member in congress in washington, d.c. right now i would be frustrated depending on what position i h if it went to 11 votes or 20 votes or 50 votes, most americans are not going to care. they re going to care whether or not in a week or two weeks republicans conduct the investigations they re supposed to and they drive a real strong conservative agenda that doesn t compromise to the left. if kevin mccarthy is better at that because of this, that s a good thing. when they say we ll vote for you if you give us x, y, and z and he gives you x, y, and z and there are still holdouts maybe dan crenshaw is right it s fundraising. these individuals just like being on tv. pete: if you are moving the goal post there is no reason. brian: got to vote as a block. evidently they could be almost there. unless all of them are there, they are going to continue to
Don bacon told jim yesterday he should take back those concessions, and instead he s giving more. exactly. those on the receiving end have moved the goal post. that s still not enough. they haven t thrown their support behind kevin mccarthy. they re not acting in good faith. maybe steve scalise can get the approval, work across the aisle. he s the kind of leader that doesn t kick a barking dog. if you disagree with him, he will work with you and still come to an agreement and continue to work and agree to disagree. he is someone that would work. many republicans would be fine with that because they realize every passing day with this circular firing squad, we re not taking the fight to joe biden and democrats which is exactly what we need to do. heather, you guys have been watching this very closely at punchbowl. has there been a momentum shift overnight and into this morning? there were republicans who were
Republicans. fox s trace gallagher has an update for us. trace? after three rounds of voting, kevin mccarthy is actually losing ground during rounds one and two. 19 hard-line conservatives voted against him. in round three, florida gop congressman elect byron donalds voted against mccarthy. all 23 of the opposition votes went to congressman elect jim jordan who says he doesn t want to be speaker of the house. those voting against mccarthy, are pushing for specific committee assignments and increased funding to investigate government obstruction. it appears to be obstructionism. the goal post seems to keep moving. we all asked this morning as a conference some of those individuals what will it take to get to 218 to move forward with
Mccarthy strikes with that number, what will you do? yeah. i don t believe that there is any republican who wants to go try to cut a deal with the very democrats that we have been watching for the last two years jam this country, big spending bills, leave our border wide open and do what they have been doing. right now i see no path for that republicans are going to come together and make sure we get a strong republican speaker. but this is how you do it. you go through the process. you figure it out. this is not the first time in history this has occurred. remember in 1923, they went through this process. bret: i do well. at the end of that rainbow there were some significant rules changes. changes that allowed us to use our election certificate by using the rules committee and the power of that to stop bad bills from getting to the floor to protect the american people. and one last point, bret, this notion that people are moving the goal post is just not true. we have been having ongoing conversation and there is people who operated, frankly, in bad faith that said things that weren t true on monday night and that caused a problem yesterday which caused some people to lock
