McCarthy questions if Trump is GOP's best choice for 2024

>>> WELCOME BACK TO AMERICA DECIDES BIT MORE REACTION TONIGHT TO HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY'S EQUIVOCAL COMMENTS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT DONE FROM IS THE REPUBLICANS BEST CHOICE IN 2024. NUMBER HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN ALSO REPUBLICAN WENT ON CNBC WEDNESDAY MORNING AND WAS ASKED HIS THOUGHTS. >> I DON'T HAVE THAT JOB ANYMORE SO I'M VERY CLEAR. IT'S A DISASTER IF WE NOMINATE TRUMP. I HAVE BEEN SAYING

THIS FOR A LONG TIME THAT LIZ IS RIGHT. HE COULD WIN. I THINK WE LOSE WITH HIM. I THINK WE ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO LOSE BUT WE HAVEN'T WON ANYTHING WITH HIM SINCE HE FIRST WON IN 2010. >> RYAN WAS REFERRING TO LIZ CHENEY SAYING HE COULD WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. SCOTT McFARLAND JOYCE IS NOT. THE BIG QUESTION IS, IT'S CLEARLY A RIFT WITH THE

FORMER PRESENT CAMPAIGN IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT ANY EQUIVOCATION FROM SPEAKER McCARTHY ABOUT THE POLITICAL POTENCY OF TRUMP IN ANY VENUE AT ANY TIME AT ANY HOUR OF ANY DAY. McCARTHY HAS TRIED TO WALK IT BACK. IS IS A TINY MOMENT OR A POSSIBLY BIGGER MOMENT. >> HE IS REALLY FLOODING THE ZONE IS ME. KEVIN McCARTHY IS A MORE RATHER THAN SAYING I WITHDRAW THOSE OF REMARKS.

LET ME SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW. HE TOLD ANOTHER INTERVIEWER THAT TRUNK IS NOW STROMBERG STRONGER THAN HE WAS IN 2016 TRYING TO BALANCE OUT HIS EQUIVOCATION FROM EARLIER. HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE. WHEN HE RETURNS TO WASHINGTON AFTER NEXT WEEK'S RECESS, KEVIN McCARTHY IS TO RETURN TO A NARROW REPUBLICAN MAJORITY WAS ARDENT TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN THAT FACTION HIM HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS MEMBERS BUT HE HAS TO FLOOD

THE ZONE WITH IMPEACHMENT, X BENJAMIN RESOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT TRUMPET IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONS WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO COUNTERBALANCE AND EFFORTS TO CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE IF NOT VILMA NICE THOSE WHO HAVE GONE AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE PAST INCLUDING ADAM SCHIFF. AT REMARKS AND APPLY TODAY WITH OTHER HOUSE REPUBLICANS, LISTEN TO WHAT HOUSE SPEAKER HAD TO SAY ABOUT ADAM SCHIFF. >> OUR MESSAGE TO THE COMMITTEE IS THAT

THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR PARTISANSHIP. THIS IS A PLACE TO MAKE SURE AMERICA IS SAFE FOR THE FUTURE. LOOK AT WHAT OUR ADVERSARIES ARE DOING WITH INVESTMENT NEEDS TO BE MADE. THERE WAS MISTAKES BY THE PAST LEADER OF THAT COMMITTEE. WE WATCH THAT COMMITTEE MS. FROM AFGHANISTAN AND OTHERS. THEY WERE MORE FOCUSED ON PARTISAN POLITICAL MANEUVERS. YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND, COMING IN AND AS CHAIRMAN

AFTER THAT TIME AFTER WHAT ADAM SCHIFF HAD BROKEN THAT COMMITTEE WAS A DIFFICULT TASK. BUT LOOK AT WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED FROM IT >> PRIMING THE PUMP WITH SOME FREEDOM CAUCUS MEMBERS. HE SPEAKS AGAIN TOMORROW IN OHIO. A BASTION OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS BUT LET'S SEE IF HE GOES ANOTHER STEP AND SAYS MORE ABOUT THE FORMER PRESENT. >> SCOTT THERE'S AN ASSUMPTION AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S

WELL GROUNDED IN REALITY THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WERE TO FLIP SOME SWITCH, HE COULD JEOPARDIZE THE STANDING OF SPEAKER McCARTHY. IS THAT REALLY TRUE? >> FEELS LIKE THE BREAKAWAY CAUCUS OF HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS MEMBERS, THOSE WHO DIDN'T COME OVER AND VOTE FOR KEVIN McCARTHY AT ALL TO BE SPEAKER. THOSE WHO ARE MOST RIGHT IN THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE DEBT CEILING COMPROMISE, HAVE THE CAPACITY TO GALVANIZE

OTHERS. BUT NOT IN CRITICAL MASS. NOT BY THE DOZENS BUT NOT PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE FREEDOM CAUCUS. IT'S UNCLEAR HOW THEY COULD USE THEIR LEVERAGE TO OUST KEVIN McCARTHY EVEN IF DONALD TRUMP SAID TO DO SO. WE HAVE NOT SEEN EVIDENCE OF THAT YET. BUT THEY HAVE TRUMP ON THEIR MINDS AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNEQUIVOCAL ABOUT THAT. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT IMPEACHMENT EITHER EXPUNGEMENT OR IMPEACHING PEOPLE

IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. IS THERE ANY GOVERNING THE ONE IN JULY THAT WE SHOULD KEEP OUR EYE ON. >> THE HOUSE WILL PASS RESOLUTIONS AND BILLS THAT MANIA STAND A CHANCE IN SENATE BUT THEY WILL DO LEGISLATING BUT NO LAWMAKING. NOTHING IS COMING DOWN THE PIKE THAT SENATORS AND HOUSE MEMBERS WILL EASILY AGREE UPON. THEY WILL MOVE TO TRY MORE IMPEACHMENTS. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN SHE WILL

MOVE ON MERRICK GARLAND WHO BY THE WAY WILL APPEAR SEPTEMBER 20 BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BUT THEY WILL TRY TO MOVE ON THE U.S. ATTORNEY IN THE DISTRICT OF KONICA THE HOMELAND SECURITY SECTOR, THE FBI TRACTOR AND ULTIMATELY ON PRESIDENT BIDEN AND MATTER OF WHEN NOT IF, THEY WILL TRY AND WHETHER IT GETS TO A VOTE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR IS LESS

CLEAR PERSPECTIVE TO PASS APPROPRIATION BILLS AND I SEE CERTAIN PROGRESSIVE GROUPS ARE SAYING THERE ARE RIDERS ON THOSE BILLS THAT COULD GUM UP THE WORKS AND MAKE THE PROSPECT OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. >> MORE LIKELY THAN NOT AT THIS POINT, THE PROSPECT OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. THE HOUSE AND THAT ARE SPEAKING DIFFERENTLY WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING BILLS. THE HOUSE

WAS TO CUT BACK TO 2022 LEVELS. THE SYMPTOMS WANT TO FIND THINGS. LOOK AT THIS OVER THE NEXT 40 HOURS. LOOK FOR DEMOCRATS TO MAKE AN ISSUE OVER FAA FUNDING. THE FAA ADMINISTRATOR WORN DURING AN APPROPRIATIONS HEARING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WOULD BE THIS TYPE OF CHAOS IN THE SKIES THIS WEEK. OR SOME WEEK IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF STAFFING ISSUES AND FUNDING ISSUES.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE THAT AS
