House Republicans will enter the new Congressional term with a historically low majority, controlling only 220 seats. The party is hopeful that it will be able to pass bold new legislation that President-elect Trump proposed on the campaign trail such as tax cuts, immigration reform, and a cut to government waste. Overseas, the Syrian government has been overthrown as rebel forces took over the capitol city of Damascus, with President Bashar al Assad reportedly fleeing the nation. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) joins the Rundown to discuss why he is hopeful Republicans can achieve their policy priorities with a slim majority, what issues they will tackle first, and what he thinks of the developing situation in the Middle East.    Over the weekend the United States marked 83 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor, an assault on the country that left over 3,000 Americans killed or wounded. While December is a time of giving, it is also a time of faith and reflection. In her new book Under His Wings, FOX News' Emily Compagno shares first-hand accounts of how faith impacted those on the frontlines. Co-host of Outnumbered, and host of The FOX True Crime Podcast with Emily Compagno, Emily Compagno joins the Rundown to discuss her new book, and what inspired her to share these stories.   Plus, commentary from the author of You Will Own Nothing, Carol Roth.

t will be mostly sunny and warmer today with a high of 70. Clouds will move in this evening and the temperature will drop into the low 40s in preparation for Tuesday's high of only 49. It took three rounds of voting, but two-term Rep. David Cook emerged Saturday as the choice of most House Republicans for speaker when the Texas Legislature convenes in January. It may not be enough. Shortly after the closed-door meeting at the Capitol ended with Cook's selection, his opponent — Rep. Dustin Burrows of Lubbock — announced that with support from Democrats, he had the votes needed to become speaker. In other news, A man fatally shot near a park in Seagoville was identified by the Dallas County medical examiner's office; Steve Sarkisian filed his own complaint Sunday about the College Football Playoff process, adding to the pile around committee members. Sarkisian took issue with first-round byes for the four highest-ranked conference champs. If the byes went instead to the four highest-ranked teams regardless of whether they're wearing league crowns, Texas would be off until New Year's.  Meanwhile, SMU fans and players were forced to sweat it out for more than half an hour watching ESPN's College Football Playoff Selection Show Sunday, but ultimately they got the reward they deserved.

David Waldman counts the days until our next big national funding crisis. Crises more than two weeks off seem like science fiction, don't they? Won't we have solved it with AI by then? AI might be a lousy search engine, but it will argue with you as well as any idiot. “Giving a woman an orgasm on purpose is gay” is not AI, but an actual idiot's opinion. AI also could never have predicted what really motivated economically anxious Republicans in the election. President Joe Biden will hopefully prioritize KITM staff pardons, but Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci are probably first in line. The "Deny, Defend, Depose" shooter is still at large, flashing his dashing Gyllenhaalian smile while cleverly changing his backpack color, number of coat pockets, and means of transportation to elude the authorities, as ballads are sung of his exploits. We are reminded that it's unseemly to pattern one's social movement on the acts of law breakers. Now someone else at United Healthcare will need to sign off on hundreds of millions in ransomware payments. Devout breeder Elon Musk isn't quite a devout Christian but is ok with you worshiping him. Elon sits at the right hand of Trump, because he outbid all of the other saviors. Musk spent $20 million on a fake “RBG” PAC, because the only thing more important that control to Elon is trolling. Trump's working on the budget as well, helping weed out any funding not going to an Elon Musk venture, even if it means firing Louis DeJoy. Instead of a gold standard, perhaps we can base our economy on pump and dumping meme stocks? Hawk Tuah! House Republicans blocked release of the Matt Gaetz ethics report, because they can.  Democratic Representative Sean Casten might still force them to release it, though.

Republicans block efforts by their Democratic colleagues to release the House Ethics Committee's report on its investigation into former Congressman Matt Gaetz. And the manhunt continues for the gunman in the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.

Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth is asking President-elect Donald Trump to support her legislation to expand insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization for military personnel. In a letter to Trump, Duckworth is urging the President-elect to mandate the federal government and insurance companies to pay for all IVF-associated costs. Both House and Senate versions of the defense policy bill have provisions that would provide service members with the same level of IVF services coverage that federal employees and members of Congress are able to receive. Meanwhile, two House Republicans are urging Congress not to include any provisions in the 2025 defense policy bill that can expand access to in vitro fertilization.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department's taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump's win.First, they assess Trump's latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a "cry session," for employees struggling to cope with Trump's victory—on the taxpayers' dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.Please visit our great sponsors:Omahahttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com and save 50% sitewide plus get an extra $30 off with promo code 3ML and a $30 reward card when you shop early.  Minimum purchase may apply.  

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Flooding the zone. Donald Trump announces ten new cabinet picks in a weekend onslaught, including MAGA economic guru Scott Bessent, and a key architect of Project 2025. Remember the plan to remake government Trump said he wanted nothing to do with? Yeah that guy, Russell Vought. And, in a cable exclusive, my conversation with former President Bill Clinton. He has a lot to say about Trump's return to the White House, and his mind-blowing cabinet picks. Plus, balance of power: Republicans succeeded in getting Matt Gaetz out before they were forced to vote on him in the new Congress. But the question remains: Will the Republican-led Senate next year show the same moxi to block any of the other unqualified or patently unfit nominees? I have my doubts, but my political panel of Susan Del Percio and Basil Smikle weigh in on this and a whole host of other political news this week. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Matt Gaetz is out as Trump's attorney general pick after the mounting questions about past interactions with young women cost him the support of key senators. Nominated in his place: former Florida AG Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, House Republicans have decided their top priority is prohibiting incoming Congresswoman Sarah McBride from using women's bathrooms in the Capitol. Jon and Dan break down what the Gaetz debacle says about Trump's Cabinet picks, his rocky relationships with Senate Republicans, what the bathroom stunt means for LGBTQ rights, and how McBride and her colleagues should respond. Then, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez talks with Jon about how she pulled off another win in her rural, Trump-supporting district, and what Democrats can learn from her success. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- For the first time, Ukraine used long-range missiles to attack Russian territory earlier this week. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a revision in policy, signing a doctrine ultimately lowering the threshold for a nuclear strike—and on Thursday, Russia struck a military facility in Dnipro, Ukraine with an intercontinental ballistic missile. According to Putin, the ICBM reached speeds 10x the speed of sound—and he bragged that modern defense systems are incapable of intercepting these specific missiles. 5:20pm- Congresswoman Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution that would prevent biological males from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. 5:25pm- The show has been a little heavy today…so, Rich decides to lighten the mood by playing audio of his favorite Donald Trump supporter: Trump De Dump Dump Dump! 5:30pm- Speaking with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said she will not cooperate with Donald Trump's Administration or the federal government when it comes to the deportation of undocumented migrants. Gov. Grisham has a history of ignoring the constitution—in 2023, she attempted to unilaterally suspend concealed and open carry gun rights in her state before ultimately having to concede she was wrong. 5:40pm- Recess Appointment Complications. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld makes a compelling argument as to why the Supreme Court of the United States is likely strike down any recess cabinet appointments. He notes that in the 2014 Noel Canning case, Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Sam Alito all opposed recess appointments. Complicating matters further, Axios is reporting that several House Republicans will vote against allowing Congress to head to recess with the intent of allowing Donald Trump to circumvent Senate approval on cabinet nominations. 5:50pm- Audio of the Day: Professor Alan Lichtman accuses Cenk Uygur of “blasphemy” for insulting him and his “Keys” to the presidency.

The House Republican caucus voted unanimously to nominate current Senate President Matt Huffman to be the next House Speaker. Joining us to discuss this shrewd move is Sarah Donaldson, Statehouse reporter for Ohio Public Radio.

A source who was in the room when House Republicans blocked the release of the ethics report on Matt Gaetz joins to discuss. The report which is threatening to derail Gaetz's confirmation remains under wraps.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A bill nicknamed the "nonprofit killer" is barreling toward a vote in the House, and its implications are chilling. H.R. 9495, backed by House Republicans, would let President-elect Donald Trump revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofits deemed "terrorist-supporting" by the Treasury Department without due process. While the bill, known as the "Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act," claims to target terrorism, many civil rights advocates warn this measure could silence groups fighting for justice, including those advocating for racial equity, Palestinian rights, and press freedoms. Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), say it's a dangerous overreach. If passed, the bill risks stifling free speech and dismantling protections for civil society. With a vote expected Thursday, the clock is ticking for lawmakers to decide whether they'll protect democracy or enable its suppression. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's Headlines: Trump's transition team has announced key cabinet picks, including Dr. Oz to lead Medicare and Medicaid, Howard Lutnick for Commerce, and former reality TV star Sean Duffy for Transportation. Dr. Oz plans to cut Medicaid budgets, Lutnick will oversee tariff policies, and Duffy would manage Elon Musk's federally contracted companies. Meanwhile, Trump is aggressively pushing Matt Gaetz for attorney general despite renewed scrutiny over allegations involving a minor and leaked depositions. In Congress, House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are targeting trans rights with a bathroom resolution aimed at newly elected Representative Sarah McBride. On a brighter note, homicides have dropped by up to 40% in major U.S. cities this year, signaling significant progress in public safety.

Shortly after we recorded our last episode and mentioned the bill, the House of Representatives tried and failed to vote on HR 9495, the “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act” bill. House Republicans tried to suspend the rules and push a vote through, and got 52 Democrats to vote with them, but weren't able to get the ⅔ majority they needed under House procedural rules.But HR 9495, also called the “nonprofit killer” bill, isn't dead yet. If passed, it would allow the Trump administration to revoke an organization's nonprofit status by simply saying the organization is connected to or supports terrorism. It's another weapon the US government would have to attempt to crush dissent, targeting organizations standing up against the genocide in Gaza and many more. Civil society, activist, nonprofit and legal organizations from the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund to the National Council of Nonprofits, CAIR, ACLU and beyond have called for the bill to be rejected.To understand where this bill comes from and what its impact would be, we're joined today by Wassim Kanaan, a grass-roots-oriented advocate, focusing on direct advocacy and working with the community on high impact projects.Wassim currently serves as the Chair-person for the New Jersey Chapter of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).Support the show

Today's Headlines: Tensions are rising in Amsterdam as targeted attacks against Jewish communities continue. Rioters set a tram on fire, prompting police to arrest eight suspects and designate “risk zones” across the city to increase security. In U.S. political news, President-elect Trump has announced new cabinet picks, including Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, John Ratcliffe for CIA Director, Kristi Noem for Homeland Security, and Pete Hegseth for Defense. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has also been tapped as ambassador to Israel. Trump introduced a new initiative, the “Department of Government Efficiency,” to be led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, focused on slashing government waste and bureaucracy. Meanwhile, House Republicans are fast-tracking a bill to allow the Treasury to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits deemed to support terrorism—a move critics worry could stifle free speech. And in Louisiana, a federal judge has blocked a law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, ruling it unconstitutional.

President-elect Trump took a victory lap in the nation's capital, bouncing from meetings with House Republicans to President Biden in the Oval Office. It comes as critical roles are being filled, from more members of Trump's cabinet to new leaders in the Senate. Lisa Desjardins reports.

New York State Justice Juan Merchan has paused proceedings in President-elect Donald Trump's already-decided criminal case, according to a document made public on Tuesday.Israeli President Isaac Herzog met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the crises in Gaza and Lebanon.The 118th Congress returned on Tuesday for its final session after a long recess that began in September. It is the first time the legislature has met since the Nov. 5 election, in which Republicans gained control of the Senate. The House Republican leadership, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson, held a news conference at the U.S. Capitol.

The Republicans can now say that they swept every branch of government – President, Senate and House. It was announced on Monday that House Republicans won the majority with 218 members. There are still a few races to be called, but the GOP officially has the majority. Now, we need to hold them accountable to the mandate that has been given.  Help For Hurricane victims: https://www.samaritanspurse.org Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net Join our Inner Circle: http://toddhuffshow.com/join Sign up for our newsletter: https://www.toddhuffshow.com Stack of Stuff: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://faith-lit.com Promo Code: TODD for 15% offhttps://harvardgoldgroup.com Promo Code: TODD for $250 credithttps://www.nicnac.com - Promo Code TODD for 15% off your first purchasehttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderhttps://zstacklife.com/todd - Promo Code TODD for 15% off your order

More than a dozen congressional races have yet to be called as House Republicans are looking to maintain hold of the chamber. If they do, it would lead to Republicans holding a political trifecta over Washington. Lisa Desjardins reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Not a great time to be stricken by a nasty cold, but that's among the many unfortunate turns we've been dealt this week!   But we haven't been carted away in irons just yet. We'll be back on Monday. But until then, it's another time-travel episode. As usual, the theme is “this time last year.” Because “what it was like last time we did this” was just too much.   A year ago today...   The collective sigh of relief here at KITM World Headquarters probably delayed our first local snowfall by weeks. Host David Waldman and Guest Star Greg Dworkin are here today to do whatever the opposite is of “fret” … (We might not have a word for that.)   We won. That is, we the people of the United States who care about democracy and what not. Dems romped, Gops flopped, pretty much everywhere, notably in Ohio, as voters knew Republican gaslighting by heart after seeing it being used to failure in state after state before them. Freedom and liberty continue to reign as the Buckeye State turns a new leaf. Ohio Republicans pledge to continue to fight freedom, liberty and the rights of individuals until their last breaths. Virginia won big by helping Glenn Youngkin lose big. Loudoun County of course did their state proud. Even Pennsylvania triumphed and extended their Democratic majority.   Pundits wonder if all this winning should worry Joe Biden and embolden Donald Trump, and someone continues to pay them. Someone keeps paying House Republicans also, including even Marjorie Traitor Greene. At least Marge is out there proposing some staff cuts.   Republicans understand that the biggest obstacle to their governing would be democracy, and no one is more behind that idea than Donald Trump. George Stephanopoulos would like to know where people stand on this before his interviews.   Hey, now that you're in a good mood, isn't it a great time to consider donating to one or more grassroots campaigns as we head into the Big One next November?

The real question is: How ignorant and insulated must Democrat leaders be to not understand how all the anti-male, pro-homosexual and transsexual, and open borders positions are seen by regular folk – and that includes Latinos? Hispanic Americans among key groups that helped reelect Trump as president of the United States. Hispanic voters shift to the right, leaving Texas Democrats seeking answers Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has choice words post-election about Texas House members voting for a Speaker who won his gavel with Democrat support and who empowers the Democrats voters reject.Fresh off GOP wins, Gov.

Donald Trump has won, his coalition is actually more diverse than any Republican since Nixon, and his share of the popular vote could be larger than any Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988—it was certainly the largest in 20 years. Today, Mike has a critique of the media, hope for the republic, and a pair of interviews. First, he talks with not-Trump-nor-Harris voters Kemele Foster, of The 5th Column podcast, and Coleman Hughes, author of The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America, and we get to hear them react to Trump's victory in the moment. Then Peter Meijer, one of ten House Republicans to vote to impeach Donald Trump, says he stands by his vote, but understands Trump's success.

As Election Day approaches, Peggy Bailey from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities joins Paul and Goldy to discuss the devastating potential effects of the House Republican agenda and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. The proposals, supported by candidates who will be on your ballot this November, include a wholesale dismantling of federal government programs, cutting benefits, shifting costs to states, and penalizing working families in order to slash taxes for the rich. Bailey reveals the massive economic disinvestment and inherent racism and discrimination in the trickle-down agenda of Project 2025 and the House Republican agenda, even as she emphasizes the need for the federal government to revitalize the economy from the bottom up with investments in those who have been marginalized. Peggy Bailey is the Executive Vice President of Policy and Program Development at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. She previously served in the Biden-Harris Administration as the Senior Advisor on Rental Assistance to HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. She also served as the Director of Health and Housing Integration for the Corporation for Supportive Housing, where she focused on Medicaid expansion and finding sustainable funding sources for the services that people with histories of homelessness and chronic health conditions need to maintain their housing.
