We'll get the views of just the people 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: that make this country great. Many of them are in 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: the great state of Texas, where I am an honorary 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Texan thanks to former Governor Rick Perry. Congressman Hip Roy 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: of Texas is twenty first district is with us, and 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you he's been working day and night, 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: no sleep to try and come to a consensus so 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: that the Republican Party can get to the work and 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the business of the people in this country, and that 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: would be the investigations. They are conservative commitments to America, 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: which I support completely, and I know a lot of 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: people want this resolve, but also people have been wanting 21 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: assurances that that Kevin McCarthy will keep his word and 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: not get burned like they have in the past with 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: people like John Bayner. Anyway, Chip Roy is with us now, Sir, 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: I know you've been working really hard. You deserve a 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: lot of credit. I don't think people know the extent 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: to which you've been trying to resolve issues and make 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: this deal work so you can get to work for 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: the American people. Well, Sean, thanks for having me on 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: and appreciate it very much. And let me first just 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: say that everything we're trying to do, all of us 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: that have involved with this are trying to make sure 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: that the swamp can't steamroll the American people, right, and 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: you and I share that goal. We all do. This 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: place is so badly broken. In that omnibus bill in December, 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: it is a perfect example of it, right where you 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: steamroll over the American people with a mass suspending bill 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: that increases dat et cetera, et cetera, and usually defenses 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: used the excuse for that. Now, you and I and 39 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: all of us we want a strong defense, but he't 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: be used the excuse to keep spending money we don't 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: have and funding the work bureaucracy and the tyrants. So 42 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: that's the fight. Well, well, one thing I think we 43 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: need to make clear though, is that McCarthy was fighting 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: against that omnibus bill. It was the first time ever 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: these Republican senators, what were the seventeen of them. It 46 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: is repulse of what they did, and you and I 47 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: share that, and we're in full agreement on all of it. 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: But it's not the house. You guys in the House 49 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: did not You should have had to say in this 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: and you would have had to say had they gone 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: the route of a continuing resolution. Sure, and that's what 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: should have happened. But the point really is more about 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: the way this place works. So here's the thing. What 54 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: we've been fighting for and what we have roughly achieved. 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: We're still working out all the details here right now 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: leading up to the night. Is assuring that we have 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: the accountability mechanisms with Motion of ak, making sure that 58 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: we've got a rules package that empowers rank and file 59 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: members with single purpose bills, German amendments, that means the 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: only amendments that can actually be attached are actually related 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: to the bill. We have a seventy two hour rule 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: to read the bill. And now we've actually had a 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: conversation about how the Rules Committee, the powerful Rules Committee, 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: so where everybody listening, that's the funnel through which all 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: bills get to the floor. We've managed to get that 66 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: to the place where the people on that committee will 67 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: reflect conservatives. Again, none of that stuff was accomplished without 68 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: all of the efforts over the last forty five days. 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: And then we've gotten important budget constraints. We've gotten important 70 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: limits on spending that we will agree to cap spending 71 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: at FY twenty two levels to hold the line on spending. 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: That we will allow for open amendments on the floor 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: of the House to allow us to offer amendments to 74 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: cut spending on appropriations bills. We've got a provision in 75 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: here to ensure that we could have an automatic continuing 76 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: resolution kick in to so that we can take the 77 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: government shutdowns here off the table by democrat. And importantly, 78 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: and lastly, we all talk about the oversight part and 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: that you and I agree with that at Jim Jordan 80 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: and I'm on the Judiciary Committee. We needed a strengthened 81 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: effort to go after the weaponization of government, and now 82 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: we've got a really strong Church Committee style select subcommittee 83 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: attached to the Judiciary Committee to have a big budget, 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: a budget at least as big as the January sixth committee, 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 1: and staffing to go after weaponized government. Look, I'm telling 86 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: you we made serious changes that will enable us to 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: get serious reforms and to push back on the Biden administration. 88 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: And it wouldn't have happened without the strong people that 89 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: tried to stand up and fight. And that includes Sean, 90 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: some of the guys that I know you've been a 91 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: little upset with, and some of our friends have been 92 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: upset with, and you know, frankly, we've had terse and 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: tense conversations. This morning was a rough one. These are 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters who are conservatives, have been fighting 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: for a better country. I hope by tonight we'll get 96 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: this squared away. If this deal is fully done, we're 97 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: a stronger House, a stronger Republican Party. We can check 98 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: spending and hold Biden accountable and move forward towards twenty 99 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: four twenty five. Listen, you know I spoke to a 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: lot of members. If I have any frustration, ship, it's 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: that I saw this come in in December, and I 102 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: wrote a lot of the guys. Apparently I should have 103 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: been talking to you, because you seem to be the 104 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: most effective at getting to a resolution. And I kept 105 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: asking everybody exactly the very question that I think is pertinent, 106 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: what do you think you need to accomplish all of this? 107 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: What do you want? What are you asking for? And 108 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: then I would relate messages and get agreements. For example, 109 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: the motion to vacate was a pretty big deal and 110 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: Kevin having a threshold of five I thought was reasonable, 111 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: and he reduced it now to a threshold of one. 112 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: Any One member if Kevin doesn't keep his promises, can 113 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: now basically haveing no confidence vote in him. And I'm 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: fully supportive of that. It's not about the personalities, And 115 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: to me, it has nothing to do with Kevin. It 116 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: has to do with the agenda. And tell me if 117 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, because I see that the investigations are gonna happen. 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: We know what Jim Jordan's going to do in judiciary, 119 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: we know what Kalmer is going to do. We know 120 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: we're going to have investigations into fauci in the origins 121 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: of COVID, we know we'll have an investigation into the 122 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and other investigations. They seem locked 123 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: and cement to me if I'm wrong, tell me and 124 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: the commitments to America, Well, that's the America First agenda 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: that I think both you and I support fully. So 126 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: let me add a little context and flavor to that, 127 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: because because you and I agree, Like again, this is 128 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: all kind of those you know debate you have with 129 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: a family around the table, right, and some disagreements, but 130 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: we're all on the same team. Well, look, if you 131 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: don't have a way to check the spending machine here 132 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: and taking a step back, so the Omnibus build it 133 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: passed through that you rightfully said should have been a 134 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: cr that the Senate jammed us with. So now what 135 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: happens next year when we get that environment. If we 136 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: don't have the power through the Rules Committee and through 137 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: our ability to stop things on the floor with open amendments, 138 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: if we don't have the power to stop the defense 139 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: machine to combine with the Democrat non defense machine, we 140 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: cannot stop the growth of government. And if we can't 141 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: stop the growth of government, we can't stop the weaponization 142 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: of that government. Trey Gaudy had hearings. We can have hearings, 143 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: but we need to defund the tyranny of the bureaucracy. 144 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: So we've got to have the tools to do that. So, look, 145 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm happy to have as many hearings we want to have. 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm happy to subpoena. We're gonna have to fight the subpoena, 147 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, get to get them to comply with the subpoena. 148 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: And we're going to do all that. But if we 149 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: don't have teeth on spending, we can't stop what's been 150 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: ticking you and me off, in every American off when 151 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: you found the stupid FBI with a brand new four 152 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars headquarters, like Mitch McConnell just blessed, and 153 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: those eighteen Republicans just did. Don't get me started. It's unconscionable. 154 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: They did that defense. They did that to screw the 155 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: new Republican House majority, Let's be honest, and some of 156 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: the people that went along with that. I am stunned. 157 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: I can't believe they did it, and I've lost a 158 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: lot of respect for a lot of them. Let me 159 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: let me just stay focused on this though. Yeah, for example, 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: the threshold needed the motion to vacate done more Freedom 161 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: Caucus members for example, in this forty of you, but 162 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, remember, Kevin has to deal with the Study group, 163 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: and then he has to deal with the Tuesday group 164 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: and the Friday group in the Sunday group, and you 165 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: know moderates and even liberal Republicans, so's he's got a 166 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: needle to thread here. That's pretty tight for him. Why 167 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: he wants this job is beyond my comprehension. I wouldn't 168 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: want that freaking job. But anyway, you're more people on 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: the Rules Committee from the Freedom Caucus. He committed to 170 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: the votes on term limits, Order, security appropriations, all separate fourteen. 171 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: Every member has an opportunity to offer and allow flor 172 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: amendments all those checks. That is my understanding. That was 173 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: all agreed to. And you know what, I go back 174 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: when I got tried to get involved with some people, 175 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: you know that that was almost like a faded complete 176 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. And my frustration is they 177 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't hammer all this out before the third Yeah, so Sean, 178 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: just to be clear, and I'm trying to be careful 179 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: here because we've got everybody now roughly on the same page. 180 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: So I'm not you know, I don't want to throw elbow. 181 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want anybody. Let me be clear, 182 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: until today, we didn't have full resolution on all the 183 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: things you just talked about. Okay, So for example, we 184 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: didn't even have an offer on five on the motion 185 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: of vacabe really in our hands until Saturday. We were 186 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: still having some members who wanted one. You can debate that, 187 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: but I'm just telling you we have to we have 188 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: to hurt. That is one hundred percent true. That and 189 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: that was one of the big items that he gave 190 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: in on days before January third. Yes, and so then 191 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: we were still working on the one. And then importantly 192 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: the Rules Committee we're still get in fact, we're still 193 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: hammering out every detail here over the last few hours. 194 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: And then importantly also the budget constraints. Those are a 195 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: big deal to cap spending at FY twenty two to 196 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: force us to be able to say open amendments on 197 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: the floor on appropriations. That was not done until yesterday. 198 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: And then and then the part about getting the Church 199 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: Committee organized completely. And then the last part, let me 200 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: give you an example about the Freedom Caucus. Yeah, the 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus doesn't shouldn't be able to just do anything 202 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: at want. But we only have two members out of 203 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: thirty three currently there's well, roughly thirty three is what 204 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: the majority size is the Appropriations Committee. You want to 205 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: know a lot the Appropriations Committee pumps out big spending bills. 206 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: We don't have enough conservatives on it, so we want 207 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: a few more of your strong conservatives on there. And Kevin, 208 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: my understanding is he agreed to that. Well, again, I 209 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: want to be careful there, because the Steering Committee in 210 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: the entire body chooses that we have general agreement that 211 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: we need ideological representation across the committees that will enable 212 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: us to do the work of the people better. That's 213 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: a generic kind of legalistic statement, but it just trust me. 214 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: We're working through to try to get it right. But 215 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: it took a lot to look people in the eye 216 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: and say we're going to do this. We've also been 217 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: working with people across the other ideological spectrum, some of 218 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: the big appropriators, some of the Tuesday group, They've been 219 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: sitting in the room. I'm telling you so many good 220 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: relationships have been built by going through this process. I 221 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: just want people listening out there. You might have looked 222 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: at this and said, well, what are you guys doing? 223 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: What a look? We got there and now there's a 224 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: lot of relationships forged and we got to move forward. 225 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: There's probably some hurt feelings too. We're working through that. 226 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: But we got to go to war with the Democrats. 227 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: But to do that, you've got to have an army 228 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: that united around a kind of consistent purpose. And I 229 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: think we're there in a way that we weren't fully before, 230 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: notwithstanding the commitment. Because the commitment didn't address directly the 231 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: spending problem. This enables us to hit that. Well. Let 232 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: me just tell you from my perspective, one thing that 233 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: happened a lot in the process from the people I 234 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: was talking to, and I regret now talking to you 235 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: that I didn't reach out to you during this time 236 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: because you're you're very much solution oriented as I am, 237 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: and I think you see the importance of getting to 238 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: work as I do. And I can tell you that 239 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: I would ask people what, okay, what do you want? 240 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: And then I would be given a list. I said, 241 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: where's the list? And then the list wouldn't show up 242 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: for forty eight hours and I'd get frustrated. And this 243 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: was all in the lead up to January third, and 244 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, items on the list got 245 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: checked off one after another. Then the list kept growing, 246 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've been a negotiation since you come 247 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: to a deal and then somebody comes back with twenty 248 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: more things. It's like, come on. So so one thing 249 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: that's important here is some of the things that we're 250 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: talking about, they just can't be truly written down. What 251 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: we did when we put out our letter on December eighth. 252 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: You remember that there were seven of us, and there 253 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: was five who had publicly said they were not going 254 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: to support Kevin. Now, they had a lot of things 255 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: they wanted to but they just came out out right 256 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: and said it. My view was, nope, let's get seven 257 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: of us, and we got a group of We put 258 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: out a letter and we're gonna say here are the 259 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: kinds of things we think are important for any speaker, 260 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: and we outlined those things. You've seen that letter floating around. 261 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: That served as the nucleus for the last month for 262 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: us to build to a place of getting agreement. And 263 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: it's taken a lot and some of those things are 264 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: not things you can actually fully write down. Sean. You 265 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: have to go sit down in a room and get 266 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: it done. You you remember a lot of your listeners 267 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: remember back in school and college. When did you do 268 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: your best work to get your papers finally written and 269 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: here your exams finally studied for the few the few 270 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: days that I showed up, you mean I got Well, 271 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: let me let me say this and finish, because this 272 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: is really important. Do I wish this all happened before 273 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: this week? Yeah? Do I have any anger or angster frustration? 274 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: And not really if in the end we get to 275 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: the place with this conservative agenda. By the way, I 276 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: had my own conservative caucus, so look, I was called 277 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: the Conservative Solutions Caucus and fourteen. I'm actually putting it 278 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: up on my website today to remind people we've all 279 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: of this, we've been discussing for all the years I've 280 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: bet on radio. But I got to give you a 281 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: lot of credit because you've brought together this varying group 282 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: of people and you're hurting these cats, and I believe 283 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: that you're going to be the one that ultimately gets 284 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: this job done and it's going to be great for 285 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: the American people, and more importantly, you guys will get 286 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: to work, which is more important. I'll give you the 287 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: last word, sir, well Sean, I appreciate that. And look, 288 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: all I want people to remember out there. The most 289 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: important thing is we're coming together. We're going to be 290 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: united to go after Democrats. But remember that we have 291 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: to fundamentally change this town because Republicans don't have the 292 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: best track record either. And you and I agree, and 293 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: your listeners agree that we have to do better than 294 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: the past Republicans have done. So we're trying to put 295 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: those constraints in place. Now, let's go rock and roll, 296 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and I think hopefully, hopefully that's where we are. All right, 297 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: I owe you a bottle of whiskey if you get 298 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: this done, although if I send it, I'll probably get 299 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: arrested and you'll get arrested for taking it. Yeah. I 300 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: don't know what the rules are, but whatever they are, 301 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: I'll take whatever the rules allow. But all right, look, 302 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. We'll talk you see, all right, Chip 303 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: Roy twenty first District, Great State of Texas. A lot 304 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: of progress is made today and two more members will 305 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: be coming back that will be voting. So there's really 306 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: six holdouts at this particular point in time, and that 307 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: would be Andy Biggs, Lauren Bobert, Crane, Arizona, Gates, Florida, 308 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Good Virginia, Harris Maryland, and Rosendale in Montana. So I 309 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: mean that's seven one of them voted. I forgot which 310 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: one switched their vote. Oh, that's right, Norman switched. Forgot 311 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: about that, but he wasn't on my list anyway. But 312 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: you have, you know, people, really interesting people like for example, 313 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Byron Donalds made the switch today. Paul cook Goes, a 314 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: friend of this program, made the switch today. Norman made 315 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: the switch. We like as well, Chip Roy, he made 316 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: the switch and he you know what, he's the most 317 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: articulate of everybody. You know what. I realized I should 318 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: have talked to him instead of some of these other 319 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: people from the beginning, because he actually has a list, 320 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: and I kept asking, where's your list? And you get 321 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: the list and they get what they want and the 322 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: list changes. I mean, it's Washington, it's the swamp. It's 323 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: a steer holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers no 324 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: one else does. America deserves and know the truth about Congress. 325 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: All right, twenty five to the top of the hour. 326 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, eight hundred nine for one, Sean. 327 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: As we continue to follow our top story fourteen Republicans 328 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: now moving towards Kevin McCarthy hopefully this process coming to 329 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: an end. What is amazing in all of this is 330 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: so many of people don't understand one part of this. 331 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: The agenda is completely set in cement. How many of 332 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: you've ever built a house? How many you have you? 333 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: Ever you ever roll cement? Linda, No, oh, yeah, you absolutely. 334 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm a connoisseur of cement. I like the gray gray.

Uh sounds a lot like me. 359 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm just staring at the wind. What do you call it? Uh? 360 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: As the one hundred and fifth speaker vote happened to me? Yeah, exactly. 361 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: By the way, oh one hundred. Biden's custody battle might 362 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: reveal who his art purchasers were. Is paint by number 363 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: purchasers are portraits of a crack addict who paid for 364 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: all this? I'd like to know? Um bum Biden fumbling 365 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: during his speech and now I'm seeing expanding border measured 366 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: measures and discussing the replacement of Title forty two which 367 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: is the public health law that was used to deter 368 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants at the border. However, he kind of screwed 369 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: it up, and the President then predicted the title forty 370 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: two would be gone by the end of the year. 371 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Title forty two is going away before the end of 372 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: the year in terms of the Supreme Court. My prediction 373 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: is we're gonna have to use Title nine, he said, 374 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: But of course he got that wrong. Title nine deals 375 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: with the issue of equality and women in sports, the NCAA, etc. Etc. Anyway, 376 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: here's Joe's latest butchering of the English language. My prediction 377 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: is not this particularly insightful about this. Title forty two 378 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: is going to go away before the end of the 379 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: year in terms of the Supreme Court, my prediction. And 380 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: then we're gonna have to use title of nine eight 381 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: eight right am I? Right? Yeah? Title eight eight nine, 382 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: and which is which we can implement what we're doing here, 383 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: plus some other things. By the way, you can hear 384 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: the President's voice is obviously deeper. You know what it 385 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: sounds like to me because I'm just guessing. I'm not 386 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: playing doctor on radio, but I've used so much Predna 387 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: Zone when I'm out on the road and I used 388 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: to do book tours and speeches and radio and TV. 389 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: You know, after four days of that, my voice is shot. 390 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: So to keep my voice open, you'd have to use 391 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: predna zone, which is like the worst medicine in the world. 392 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: So is he having a fake book tour in his 393 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: fake white house backdrop in his house? No, But predna 394 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: zone is a very powerful medication. It's a powerful anti inflammatory. 395 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: In my case, it would lower the inflammation of my 396 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: vocal chords, which takes away your voice. A lot of 397 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: singers use it if they're out on tour and they 398 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: have back to back dates. As you know, you happen 399 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: to have a voice that yes, not go out. I 400 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: used a very complicated chemical called water. Yeah, exactly, But 401 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't work for everybody. There's only so much water 402 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: one can drink. That's what it sounds like to me. 403 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: But I'm just guessing. I don't know. All right, let's 404 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: get to our phones. A lot of you, um I 405 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: know that. You know, maybe we'll put people that disagree 406 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: on this on the line together. For example, Ginger Ginger 407 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: is in Georgia and Bernie is in Idaho. Ginger say 408 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: hi to Bernie. Bernie say Hi to Ginger, and welcome 409 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: both of you in Happy New year. Hire. All right, 410 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: so Ginger, Ginger and Georgia, let's start with you. What's 411 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: on your mind today? Well, I know that they had 412 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: to be real careful in voting for the Speaker of 413 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: the House, and everybody needed to talk about it. But 414 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: some of these holdouts, in my opinion, are doing it 415 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: for vengeful reasons. I mean, this is not how the 416 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: real world works. I mean, I can't be that way 417 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: at my job, you know, without any repercussions. And you know, 418 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: this was our shining light after the midterm elections. What 419 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: we had was this little bit of advantage in house, 420 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, where we could make some leeway and try 421 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: and steer things back normal, even just a little bit. 422 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: And for me, this is so disappointing because he was 423 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: already the minority leader for Speaker of the House. And 424 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: if these people are so stuck on that and they're 425 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: just wanting to fundraise and get their name out in 426 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: the front, the NASI step aside and let somebody in 427 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: there that's willing to work for the American people, because 428 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: that's what they're being paid to do, not show vote. 429 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: What's your take? Bernie in Idaho. Oh well, my goodness, 430 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: it's so opposite. First of all, we don't want the normal. 431 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: Does anyone might agree we need new leadership. He's been 432 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: there for ten twelve years. What has he done. And 433 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: the people that, sorry, Ginger, but you said they're show 434 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: voting and they want money, that's just the opposite. If 435 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: they want money, they would be voting for him. People 436 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: that said, oh, we won't vote for him, but they 437 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: did because he gives them the money. That's his job. 438 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: His job is to run around get money and give 439 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: them money so they can run. And you know what, 440 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: my whole thing, he is not trustworthy. None of us 441 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: can trust him. He threw Trump under the bus immediately 442 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: and he knew what was going on, and you know 443 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: he just My whole thing is he can not be 444 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: trusted and we need new leadership. We need company. Okay, 445 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: now I've got to interrupt you a little bit, Bernie, 446 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: just to keep the flow going here. Okay, you have 447 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: every single concession that was asked of Kevin McCarthy. And 448 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: I was involved in this behind the scenes talking to 449 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: people and only December trying to avoid this Adam shift show. 450 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: That is where that has been unfolding. I think it's 451 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: going to come to an end, probably in the next 452 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: couple of days, certainly by early next week. Every single 453 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: solitary concession, everything that they've ever wanted as it relates 454 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: to appropriations, everything, the vote on term limits, the vote 455 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: on the border, the motion to vacate, can be triggered 456 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: by one congressman, one person, one person. So my argument is, 457 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: what else now do you need that would that would 458 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: ensure your proof. For example, if he doesn't keep his promises, 459 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: I promise you, Bernie, you have my word, and I 460 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: keep my word that I will lead the effort to 461 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: remove him. He is given more than any speaker or 462 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: potential speaker in history, and at some point they have 463 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: a job to do. When I talk, thank you, Okay. 464 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: So the thing, he's the same man, he's got a 465 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: different man. So if they're going to do that, I 466 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: suggest to get it in writing on a legally binding 467 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: document because he's going to say what he has to 468 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: say that well, let me let me let me put 469 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: your heart at ease, because I know I know the people. 470 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: But wait a minute, you just said something I want 471 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: to I want to help you on something they already 472 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: have put it down on paper. It's in legally binding 473 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: that you have They have that in writing, they have 474 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: a deal in writing. Is that have the seal of 475 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court? I tend to doubt it, but 476 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: it's a promise that if they don't, if he doesn't 477 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: keep them, then he will be removed from speaker. It 478 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: will happen that everyone is saying this is um, you know, 479 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: a showboat thing. It's not. This is what our founders intended. 480 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: Which should it be just automatically that he moves into 481 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: the Speaker's office, just assuming let me ask you this, 482 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: wine he gets sick. Are you happy with the investigations 483 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: that he's announced that he's going to go forward with. 484 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it, Okay, all right, 485 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: But but you're happy if he assuming he does, I know, 486 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: but assuming he does that, you'll be happy. Are you 487 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: happy with the commitments to America that he signed and 488 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: put a signature to. You know what, those all Trump 489 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: policies new Ingrid. Now, he's not a leader. He's not 490 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: that smart of a man. Bernie, Bernie, are you happy 491 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: with the decision that he made in the commitments to America? 492 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: You know, I don't see any difference than what Trump 493 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: did for us. And like I said, he's trumate for him, 494 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: he didn't do it all. Right, let me give Ginger 495 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity to respond to Bernie. Here, Jinia, what's your 496 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: response to Bernie. We can't kick every politician out of 497 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: government just because they've been in there. You know, he's 498 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: only been in government for fourteen years. We can't have 499 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: people running the country that have zero experience whatsoever. And 500 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: he is not Donald Trump. No one is Donald Trump. 501 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: I love Donald Trump. I would love to see him 502 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: back in the White House. And maybe Donald Trump Junior 503 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: running the Senate and Ivanna running the Senate. I don't know, 504 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: but they're all great people. But what we have to 505 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: go with is what we have right now. And what 506 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: we have right now is a very small majority in 507 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: the House. We have no lead in the Senate. We 508 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: don't have a responsible, cognitive president in the White House. 509 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: So the people that we do have that we have 510 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: the majority with, we need to back him up a 511 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: little bit. And I'm sorry she said she didn't believe 512 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: that people were show voting. Well when they sit there 513 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: and smirk and grant and then go do an interview 514 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: that you know, I'm never voting for him, no matter 515 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: what he did meet all our list of demands, but 516 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: I still don't like him. I'm never going to vote 517 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: for him. You know. That's not representing the people of America. 518 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: That's for representing your own personal opinion, and that's not 519 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: what they're paid to do. We'll give it the last word, Bernie, 520 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: because you disagree, Goad. I agree with everything she said, 521 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: except about keeping people. I think it's time for a change. 522 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: I thought he's ever done anything impressive, and he cannot. 523 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: He cannot be pressive. All right, then, let me ask you, 524 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: if you had your choice, who would you pick. Well, 525 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: I would love to see Jim Jordan, but I understand 526 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't want it, and so I do believe you 527 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: would do the best jaw investigating on the committee that 528 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: he's on, because he's wont in that. I've talked to 529 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan every day leading up to this day. I've 530 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: talked to him all throughout the Christmas holiday when Almas off, 531 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: and under no circumstances will he ever take it. And 532 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else that is factually accurate. I'm 533 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: not sure Jim Jordan can get to to eighteen. I mean, 534 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: and that's sad to me too. You know, you have 535 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: different factions, you have people in very marginal districts. There's 536 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: a lot of considerations. You've got the Freedom Caucus. I've 537 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: always been their biggest supporter. You've got the Tuesday Group, 538 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: the Republican Study Group, you have the more moderate wing 539 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. You got different coalitions. So it's 540 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: kind of hard to please everybody in this process. And 541 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: I will tell you the people that are looking now 542 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: that Kevin McCarthy's feet are locked in cement and the 543 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: agenda is locked in Cement, it's time to take the victory. 544 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: It's time to understand we want here and now let's 545 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: act like leaders. They need to act like leaders and 546 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: fulfill the promises they made in the commitments to America. 547 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Go forward with these investigations and get the country. Start 548 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: the process of getting this country back on track. To me, 549 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: it's always been about the country. It's always been about people. 550 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: It's not about personalities. It's we have a lot of 551 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: good changes. And by the way, some of the twenty 552 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: are responsible for that, and I applaud them for it. 553 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: But they've got everything at this point, there's nothing left 554 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: to give and now it's time to govern. But anyway, 555 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: I do love the fact that you both had a 556 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: very civil conversation. Ginger. Thank you, Bernie, Thank you. Back 557 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 1: to our busy phones. Eight hundred and nine for one, 558 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: Shaan our number. Let's say, Hi? Is it Etha is 559 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: in the great state of Washington? What's up, Etha? How 560 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: are you hi, Sean? How are you? Happy New Year? 561 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you, sweetheart. Hey, I just wanted 562 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: to say, in the words of Ben Franklin to John 563 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: Adams in seventeen seventy six, how dare you jeopardize our 564 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: cause when we have come so far right? And you know, 565 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: if we don't hang together, then we will most assuredly 566 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: hang separately. And I think that Matt Gates and his 567 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: coalition and I do applaud and I agree with both 568 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: of your other colors. I do applaud both of their opinions. 569 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: But I think that that Matt Gates their bush league, Sean. 570 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: The bottom line is that their Bush league, and we 571 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: are playing in the Major League. We're playing against the Yankees, right, 572 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: and we've got to go forward. We need to do 573 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: what the people they were elected to do, and they 574 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: need to nominate people and get these committees started. And 575 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm seeing the twenty committees, and for your listeners, it's 576 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: not just the Judiciary, it's not just the House over 577 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: side committee. It's almost twenty committees from agriculture to ethics 578 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: to education. We need to get this in place, otherwise 579 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: the Republican Party looks like a bunch of a bunch 580 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: of Bush leaguers. In my opinion, I think you're dead 581 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: on accurate that they've gotten the concessions everyone that they've 582 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: asked for. You know, it's funny you said something that 583 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: I have been saying from the beginning. When when I 584 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: got when this was real and this was going to 585 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: be a fight in some point early December, I don't 586 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: remember when I started a conversation with the people that 587 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I know, and I don't need to reveal sources here, 588 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: and I said to them, you're either all going to 589 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: succeed together or you will all failed together. And I 590 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: was urging them to try to get this worked out 591 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: before January third. It didn't happen. I'm not upset that 592 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: this is unfolding. I do think the time is now 593 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: ripe for this to be resolved, It's time to get 594 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: to the important work of governing for you, we the 595 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: American people. You sent them there to work, not to 596 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: fight each other. There really is an enemy out there 597 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: that's called socialism, and we need to defeat that, and 598 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: that's hopefully something we can all agree on. I got 599 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: to run, though I do appreciate you to the call, 600 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: great call eight hundred and nine four one sewn if 601 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program.
