–> A midday take on what’s happening in politics and how to have a sense of humor about it.*

*Ha. Haha. Hahah. Sniff. Haha. Sniff. Ha–breaks down crying hysterically.

TALK OF THE MORNING

Are you a fan of reality show drama? Bravo? Early 2000s MTV shows? Juicy upsets on ‘The Bachelor’?

Then C-SPAN is the place for you!:

The 118th Congress officially kicked off at noon on Tuesday, with the highly anticipated — and still *extremely uncertain* — Speaker vote underway.

The order of events: The new Congress began with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, a quorum call — and then the Speaker vote. If no candidate reaches a majority, House lawmakers will continue to hold votes until a majority is reached. The House can also adjourn after failed votes to negotiate behind closed doors. More on how it will go down

Watch the Speaker vote and first day of the 118th Congress live

Live blog of updates

Where the Speaker vote stands: House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) needs 218 votes — a majority of the House — to win speakership. The House is comprised of 222 Republicans and 212 Democrats, meaning five or more Republican defections would put McCarthy below the 218-vote threshold.

^ So, five defections and McCarthy can’t win — and there appear to be five ‘Never Kevin’ Republicans: Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.) and Bob Good (Va.). Where those GOP members stand

If not McCarthy, then who?: Rep.Steve Scalise (La.) and GOP hardliner Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio) have been floated as alternatives. They are both supporting McCarthy though, FWIW. The New York Times has a list of potential alternatives

As you watch the C-SPAN coverage, here are the Republicans to keep your eyes on

Some context to how rare this is: A Speaker vote hasn’t gone to a second ballot since 1923. The Hill’s Emily Brooks has a helpful explainer on what to expect

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING THIS MORNING:

Look what Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) tweeted: Biggs is one of the five Republicans who does not back McCarthy.

What Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) had to say: After McCarthy’s speech this morning, Boebert said, “this is b***s***,” according to Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman. “This was audible to those in the room,” Sherman added.

TIDBITS AND POTENTIAL SCENARIOS:

What CBS News’s Robert Costa is hearing about McCarthy’s strategy: “[H]e’s going to stay on the floor tomorrow. That’s the plan. Battle it out, if need be, but do it in the open and have the conversations in public. He’s being told to never leave the floor by rank-and-file allies … The fear among some of his friends: the Never Kevin types want it to go to backroom conference meeting so they can try for a major leadership shakeup. Closed door member to member theater. That’s not what McCarthy’s bloc wants so they are pushing him to never leave the floor.”

A lengthy Speakership fight could cause some major holdups: Politico’s Jordain Carney reports that “House committee staffers face no pay if speaker isn’t decided by Jan. 13, officials warn.” What we know

Tidbit: NBC News’s Haley Talbot tweeted, “GOP Leader McCarthy has moved into the speakers suite but if he fails to secure 218 he will have to move all his stuff back out.” Video

AFTER ALL THE FORMALITIES AND SPEAKER VOTE, WHAT ELSE IS ON HOUSE REPUBLICANS’ AGENDA?:

“[The House] is set to take up the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, which would revoke the increase in funding for the IRS that was appropriated through Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act passed over the summer.

Plus: “Bills involving immigration and the border, abortion and how the U.S. manages petroleum and energy production. The chamber will also consider a resolution condemning recent attacks on anti-abortion centers and churches.” Details from The Hill’s Mychael Schnell

🏈 In the NFL

Sending all the good vibes and wishes to Damar Hamlin:

Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field last night during the first quarter of the NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

What happened?: Hamlin went into cardiac arrest, received CPR on the field and is in critical condition, the Bills announced early this morning.

The full statement from the team: “Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in the Buffalo Bills’ game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition.”

Hamlin’s toy drive has raised more than $3.4 million since the injury.

📃 Trump’s taxes

Want to take a gander at Donald Trump’s tax returns?:

The House Ways and Means Committee released former President Trump’s tax returns from 2015 to 2020 on Friday after a years-long battle.

See for yourself — here are the actual tax returns

The gist of what we know about the taxes: “[Trump used] business losses in the tens of millions of dollars to reduce his annual tax liability, in some cases all the way down to zero.”

Keep in mind: “While one of Trump’s main businesses was found guilty of criminal tax fraud earlier this month, Trump himself has so far not been accused of doing anything illegal with his taxes and personal accounting.”

^ Yes, but: “[It’s] raising more urgent questions about the fairness of the U.S. tax code and tax regulations, which number in the millions of words and in the case of Trump proved effectively unenforceable.”

The Hill’s Tobias Burns and Sylvan Lane explain how Trump’s tax returns are raising alarms about the fairness of the tax code

Mustang Survives Street Racing, Camaro Not So Lucky

January 3, 2023 Published by Sebastien Bell

Carscoops

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but two pony cars line up for a street race, and one of them crashes. When the Mustang comes to a stop, it says, “Hey, that’s my job!”

That’s because the surprising, and yet still somehow predictable result of a street race that was shared to Facebook by IAmTaiBoogie, is that the Chevy was the one that crashed in a video that sees a fourth-generation Mustang lining up against a sixth-generation Camaro on a public road.

As with a lot of details in this video, it’s hard to say exactly what’s going on with these two cars, but the steelies and the hood scoop on the Camaro, in addition to the sound of the engine, would suggest that it’s modified. As countless videos have proven, though, pony cars don’t really need to be tuned to be too much for their drivers. So whatever’s happening under the hoods of these cars, the result is the same.

Read: The Mythical Ford Camarostang Has Been Crashed

The Camaro launches well, taking an early lead over the Mustang, but it quickly starts pointing leftward, toward the person filming and at least one other bystander. It sounds like the driver gets out of the throttle, and actually saves the slide, but then jumps back on the gas, turning that save into an overcorrection, and sending the car flying to the right, towards the Ford.

The Mustang driver, playing against type here, seems to observe all of this happening, and you can just see them jumping on the brakes and screeching to a halt before the Camaro can run into them, proving once and for all that it’s not always the Mustang driver who is responsible for the crash—though, I suppose, everyone in a street race bears some responsibility for the stupidity that follows from it.

Although the Chevy driver manages avoiding the pedestrians, and the Mustang driver succeeds at avoiding the Camaro, all is not well and does not end well. Unfortunately, the Camaro goes spearing off the road and into a row of trees, sending it spinning, and completely removing its front bumper.

The video is too short to really assess the full extent of the damage, and there is no information about the condition of the driver. Logic would dictate, though, that both the car and the driver are pretty shaken up after this incident. If you needed any more evidence that street racing is a bad way to spend your time, here it is.

Harris swears in Murray as first woman Senate president pro tempore

January 3, 2023 Published by Alex Gangitano

Just In | The Hill

Vice President Harris swore in Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) president pro tempore of the Senate on Tuesday, marking the first time in U.S. history that a woman will hold the position.

Harris, the first female vice president in U.S. history, is also presiding over the Senate on the first day of 118th Congress. The president pro tempore is the third in line for the presidency and presides over the Senate when the vice president is not in the chamber.

Murray was nominated by Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to serve in the role after outgoing president pro tempore Patrick Leahy (I-Vt.) retired. The job comes with an ornate office on the ground floor of the Capitol and a large security detail.

Harris on Tuesday also swore-in 35 senators who were elected in November’s midterm elections or reelected to serve another term. The midterm elections were the first time since President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House that a president did not lose a single incumbent senator of the same party during their first midterm election.

Harris last year cast 26 tie breaking votes in the evenly-split 50-50 Senate but her role as tiebreaker is expected to be less busy with the Democrats gaining a crucial 51st seat in the midterm elections.

A White House official said that Harris on Wednesday will then travel to Illinois to tout the administration’s economic plan and the bipartisan infrastructure law.

Roswell zoo reopens day after 4 animals die in dog attack

January 3, 2023 Published by

Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

A popular zoo in Roswell reopened Friday, a day after four animals were killed by wild pack of dogs.

City officials announced Friday that three barbary sheep, also known as aoudads, and one wallaby were found dead at Spring River Zoo.

They say the killings happened late Wednesday night after three dogs managed to get into the zoo by digging under new fencing.

The zoo closed Thursday as several employees mourned the loss.

Juanita Jennings, the city’s public affair director, told the Roswell Daily Record that the zoo’s other animals were undergoing welfare checks to make sure they weren’t traumatized by the incident.

Jennings says the fencing had only been put up recently.

Animal control officers are searching for the dogs.

Barbary sheep are native to southeastern New Mexico and Texas since being introduced to the region in the 1950s. Wallabies are native to Australia and New Guinea and resemble kangaroos.

McCarthy: Gaetz said ‘I don’t care’ if Jeffries wins Speakership instead of me

January 3, 2023 Published by Al Weaver

Just In | The Hill

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) criticized Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Tuesday after he reportedly told House GOP members that he doesn’t care if the chamber elects Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), the incoming Democratic leader, as Speaker instead of McCarthy.

McCarthy told reporters that Gaetz, who is one of at least a handful of hard-line conservative members attempting to block him from becoming Speaker, said that “I don’t care” if Jeffries were to win the gavel via a plurality of votes in order to deny the California Republican the top spot.

The remarks came after a heated House GOP conference meeting before the entire House meets to elect, or not elect, a new Speaker.

McCarthy ahead of the vote singled out Gaetz during remarks to reporters where he signaled he would not back down from a fight.

“There’s times we’re going to have to argue with our own members, if they’re looking out for only positions for themselves, not for the country,” McCarthy said. “For the last two months we worked together. As a whole conference, we developed rules that empower all members. But we’re not empowering certain members over others.”

“Last night, I was presented the only way to have 218 votes if I provided certain members with certain positions certain gavels to take over to chair committees, to have certain budgets, and they even came to the position where one Matt Gaetz said ‘I don’t care if we got a plurality, and we elect Hakeem Jeffries,’ and it hurts the new front-line members not to get reelected,” the GOP leader said. “Well, that’s not about America, and I will always fight to put the American people first — not a few individuals that want something for themselves.”

Gaetz and Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Bob Good (R-Va.) are spearheading the effort to block McCarthy from winning the job he has had in his sights for nearly eight years.

“I have the record for the longest speech ever on the floor. I don’t have a problem getting a record for most votes for Speaker, too,” McCarthy said after the meeting. Asked how long it will take to elect a Speaker, McCarthy said: “I think it might take a while.”

Gaetz added to reporters that McCarthy and his allies have refused to make a deal on what they have argued is a wish list from those who remain holdouts.

“He stood up and he shook our hands and he said, ‘I can’t do it,’ or ‘I won’t do’ and here we are,” Gaetz said.

In addition to the five members, Reps. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, have all indicated they will vote against McCarthy as well.

CA earthquake on New Year’s Day damages at least 20 apartments

January 3, 2023 Published by

Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

At least 20 apartments were damaged by the latest earthquake to rattle the region of Northern California where a stronger quake nearly two weeks ago killed two people and knocked homes off their foundations, authorities said Monday.

The magnitude-5.4 aftershock struck at 10:35 a.m. on New Year’s Day about 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Rio Dell in Humboldt County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Kyle Knopp, Rio Dell’s city manager, said inspectors on Monday red-tagged 20 residences at a single apartment complex. Knopp said inspections were ongoing and officials expected to find additional homes rendered uninhabitable by the latest quake.

“We’ve got new damage, and we’ve got additional damage from the December quake,” he said.

No major injuries were reported from Sunday’s earthquake, Knopp said. Some residents lost water and power, but service was restored within hours, he said.

Rio Dell was the community hardest hit by a magnitude-6.4 earthquake on Dec. 20 that killed two people, injured more than a dozen others, shook homes off foundations, damaged water systems and knocked out power to thousands.

Morgan Stanley sees these names rebounding after heavy tax-loss selling at the end of 2022

January 3, 2023 Published by Michelle Fox

US Top News and Analysis

With a new year underway, there’s an opportunity to scoop up some names that investors sold to save on taxes in 2022, according to Morgan Stanley. Investors dumped beaten-up names at the end of the year as part of a tax-loss harvesting strategy . The move is meant to offset any gains made during the year and therefore reduce the amount of taxes they’ll have to pay. There were plenty of options thanks to the market’s dismal year, its worst since 2008 . In fact, Morgan Stanley fielded more inquiries on tax-loss selling strategies in 2022 than in any other year, analyst Todd Castagno wrote in a note Friday. As a result, investors may have sold names they liked in order to realize the tax savings and could be waiting to jump back in after the “wash sale rule” period ends. The rule says you can’t buy and sell the same security within 30 days of one another. Morgan Stanley looked for those popular stocks that have derated but may be repurchased once the tax loss is realized. To find these names, the firm screened for underperforming stocks rated overweight by its analysts that also have a consensus overweight/buy rating skew. Here are 10 of those names. Plug Power has the most upside to Morgan Stanley’s price target — a whopping 288%. When Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to overweight in October, it said the hydrogen fuel cell maker is “well positioned to be a leader in the hydrogen economy.” Plug Power struck a deal with Amazon in August to power some of the e-commerce giant’s operations with green hydrogen. Shares sank 56% in 2022. Sunrun is No. 2 when it comes to potential upside to Morgan Stanley’s price target. The firm expects it to triple in value. Morgan Stanley named the solar energy company a top pick after the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August. The legislation, which includes $369 billion for energy and climate initiatives, should help propel Sunrun’s net value per customer to $10,000 from $7,000, Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Byrd said in a note. Higher utility bills could also push customers into solar energy, he said. The stock shed 30% last year. Uber Technologies is also favored by the firm. Analyst Brian Nowak slashed his price target to $54 per share from $70 in October. However, that still implies 118% upside for the ride-hailing stock. In a note at that time, Nowak said he expected multiyear earnings growth for Uber. Shares dropped 41% in 2022. Meanwhile, Match Group has 117% upside to Morgan Stanley’s price target. The online dating company’s stock was a big loser last year, dropping nearly 69%. However, the firm is a big believer in Match. Analyst Lauren Schenk reiterated her overweight rating and $90 price target in November. “Self-help story, sequential acceleration, and several upside drivers set up to be one of the best ’23 stories in our space at compelling valuation, albeit with macro uncertainty,” she wrote in a note. Last, Disney had a dismal 2022, with the stock sinking nearly 44%. Bob Iger returned to the CEO post in November, replacing the beleaguered Bob Chapek, in an effort to rejuvenate the media conglomerate. While Disney faces headwinds, there are cost opportunities in the media business and momentum in parks, which should allow Disney to deliver on its fiscal-year 2023 guidance, Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne wrote in a Dec. 12 note. “Return of Bob Iger as CEO offers the opportunity to reorganize Disney’s Media businesses (DMED) to prioritize driving overall Disney consolidated earnings growth,” he said. — CNBC’s Michael Bloom contributed reporting.

Kremlin says 63 soldiers killed in Ukrainian missile attack: reports

January 3, 2023 Published by The Hill

A Ukrainian attack on a building sheltering Russian soldiers in the occupied Donetsk region killed 63 service members on New Year’s Day, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday, which would be one of the deadliest strikes on Russian forces since the beginning of the war.

That number was disputed by Ukraine, which claimed that hundreds of soldiers were killed in the rocket attack, but the figure could not be independently confirmed, according to The New York Times.

Russian authorities said the Ukrainian military used a U.S.-made HIMARS guided rocket system to carry out the attack on a temporary Russian base.

“The Kiev regime struck with six rockets of the U.S.-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system at the point of temporary deployment of one of the units of the Russian armed forces in the area of the settlement of Makeyevka,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, according to USA Today.

RIA Novosti, a Russian state-owned media organization, reported that two of the six missiles fired by the Ukrainian military were shot down.

Contrasting reports came in from both Russian and Ukrainian sources. A former Russian paramilitary commander, Igor Girkin, suggested the attacks were severe.

Girkin said in a post on Telegram that “many hundreds” were dead and wounded and that the building temporarily housing the Russian troops was “almost completely destroyed.”

The strike on the city of Makeyevka continues already intense fighting in the Donetsk region, which is one of the four areas that Russia illegally annexed in October. The reports of the attack come as Ukrainian officials also said Monday that Ukraine had destroyed 40 exploding Russian drones that were headed for Kyiv overnight.

Tony Robbins, in a New Year, discusses smart and savvy self-improvement tips for 2023

January 3, 2023 Published by

Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

With a New Year just begun, many people are still deciding on their resolutions for 2023.

While many will pick something specific, such as getting in shape or eating more healthfully, many others just want to improve themselves overall as the New Year gets underway.

Life and business strategist Tony Robbins joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss self-improvement tips and insights for 2023.

TONY ROBBINS GETS REAL ABOUT SUCCESS IN LIFE AND HEALTH: ‘JUST THINKING POSITIVE IS B.S.’

Robbins recommended starting by developing a compelling future — noting it’s important not to feel overwhelmed by everything that’s going on in the world.

“Anybody can deal with an incredibly difficult today if they have a real compelling tomorrow,” he said — “and a way to get there.”

Robbins said people often become overwhelmed with negative things going on in the world, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and rising inflation.

AUTHOR, PHILANTHROPIST TONY ROBBINS TELLS TUCKER CARLSON HOW SUFFERING CULTIVATED COMPASSION: ‘IT SHIFTED ME’

He recommended instead that we come up with a plan to improve our lives while also improving our mindsets about what’s to come.

“There’s plenty we can control in our minds and our bodies,” he said.

“So, for our life to get better, we have to get better,” he said.

Robbins recommended starting with looking inward at the energy we’re putting out into the world — asking what emotions we have and how those emotions can change our perspective.

“If you’re having creativity and passion and decisiveness, that’s very different than if you’ve gotten used to the emotions now of feeling overwhelmed and stressed … and depressed,” he said.

Robbins suggested creating a positive shift in emotion — followed by investing in ourselves.

The strategist noted that spending time with loved ones is one of the best ways to invest in ourselves.

“That’s the safe harbor for all of us,” he said.

Kinzinger rips Trump Jr. over ‘We the People’ Bible sales

January 3, 2023 Published by Jared Gans

Just In | The Hill

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) slammed Donald Trump Jr. on Monday over his endorsement of a “We the People” Bible, calling on “good” pastors and priests to denounce it.

“Oh the irony. The fact that some Christians dont see the problem here is more affirmation that it’s not the GOP that has failed Christians, it’s the church,” Kinzinger tweeted. “Good Pastors and Priests rise up and call this out.”

Kinzinger made the comment in a retweet of a video of Trump Jr. promoting the book.

In the video, Trump Jr. encouraged people to buy the “We the People” Bible, which he said is made, printed and assembled in the United States.

“With American Judeo-Christian values under attack, there could be no better time than to re-up our commitment to America and to the Christian values that this country was founded on,” Trump Jr. said.

The website for the Bible also includes a comment from Trump Jr. recommending it.

“Faith is being targeted and our country’s founding beliefs are being targeted. The ‘We The People Bible’ is restoring what there is an attempt to remove. Preservation of Faith, preservation of America,” he said.

The website states that the King James version of the Bible also includes copies of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Pledge of Allegiance.

The Bible is being sold for $69.99.

The “We the People” Bible is the latest example of some in the GOP blurring the lines between church and state.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said in July that the GOP should embrace being “Christian Nationalists.”

“We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists,” she said.
