1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Here's our toll free number.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: It is eight hundred and ninety four one sean if

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. So

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: we had one vote for Jim Jordan for speaker. He

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: fell short. Look none of this the process the making

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: of the sausage, if you will, and where does that

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: phrase come from? Making of the If you saw how

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: sausage was made, you probably would never want to eat it. Linda,

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: have you ever seen sausage made?

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: You don't want to happen? Unfortunately, it doesn't bother me

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: at all. I mean, oh really, it's no.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, you do like to watch brain surgery?

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 3: I don't know that you're the right, you know, benchmark

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: for this conversation.

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: True, I have.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I've been in in brain surgery and I watched it.

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, can I please get closer? And when I

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: got in the when I got in the operating room, uh.

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: The first thing that I'm being asked by everybody, how

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: do you feel about blood? And I'm like, I have

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: no problem with blood as long as it's not especially

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: if it's not mine.

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: You're like I like it so much. I'm going to

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: film this and send it to people who it makes

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: throw up. It's going to be great.

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: It's the most amazing experience.

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, in this particular case, I watch somebody's you know,

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: an incision is made.

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: The skin of somebody's face is literally.

31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Peeled down and they go into the sort of bottom

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: stem of the brain and part of the skull is

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: taken off.

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: It's fascinating.

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you just I watched this and I I

36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: just am blown away by it.

37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: Really, I would say the process we're watching on our

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: on our floor of our legislative body, Oh, it's quite

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: as invigorating.

40
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Here's the problem we have is is you have a

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of angry people, and you got a lot of

42
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: egomaniacs here. So you know the fact that it may

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: take multiple vote votes to get here. I'll tell you

44
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: the two outcomes that can't happen. And I know a

45
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: lot of you want to call your representatives and frankly,

46
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be public service.

47
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: You know that. Well, you don't want a pressure campaign.

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: This is making us mad and everything and when and

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity asked us questions like you know, well, my

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: questions that hard? Were they that arduous? You know, I've

51
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: heard that you're not voting for Jim Jordan. Can you

52
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: tell us why? How do you plan to open up

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: the People's House? Can you tell us.

54
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: How you know?

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: With all that's going on in the world, don't you

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: think it's imperative with the Middle East and Europe and

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: borders and and appropriations bills incomplete, and the and the

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: People's House shut down? Can you tell me when it's

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: going to be open?

60
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you?

61
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: Would you ever, under any circumstances work with Democrats, as

62
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: has been reported everywhere, to select a speaker. I don't

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: think those are tough questions at all. And many, by

64
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the way, many of the people we sent it to,

65
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: they answered, and they were very very gracious in their answer.

66
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: It's not that hard.

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: So how do we analyze the fact that in this

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: vote today and Jim Jordan got over got two hundred.

69
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: How do you analyze that six Republican votes went to McCarthy,

70
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: seven went to Scalise, three went to lee Zelden, one

71
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: went to Garcia, one went to the Minnesota Congressman Emmer,

72
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: one went to Call, one, one to Massey, one absent,

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I can give you the names.

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Of all the people that did it.

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: Look that that we expect that there's going to be

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: a second vote today, maybe a third vote tomorrow. However,

77
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: this is my admonition. I don't care how you all

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: look as you make the sausage. I really don't. I'm

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: not I'm not emotionally involved in this. But however, if

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you come up short of anything, if you come up

81
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: anything short of electing a speaker. In this case, Jim

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Jordan has the support of two hundred Republicans, he needs

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: sixty more.

84
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Doesn't This doesn't sound like a lot.

85
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And if you can't get over the fact that, well,

86
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: your guy lost, you didn't like the process, or you

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: didn't like this, or you didn't like that, and you

88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: can't put aside that your own personal, you know, agenda,

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be, or the idea you're mad

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: that your guy didn't win, whatever the reason, you've got

91
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: to put it aside, because if you don't see the

92
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: big picture, the patients of the American people. My patience

93
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: is running thin with all of this, and you're going

94
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: to risk putting all of your jobs in jeopardy. In

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: the process, because if you can't lead, and by the way,

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: a temporary speaker empowered, you know, McHenry empowered for till January,

97
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: that is not doing your job.

98
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Your job is to select a speaker. That is not

99
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: your job.

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: To give us a temporary person and empowered that person

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: just for sixty or ninety days is not leading. The

102
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: people's House needs to be open, especially during troubled times,

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: and these are troubled time. And everybody knows that McCarthy's

104
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: not running. Everybody knows Scalise is not running. Everybody knows

105
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: that this is what we call a protest vote, or

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: if some might refer to it as a temper tantrum vote,

107
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how you want to refer to it.

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: But the longer that this goes on, the confidence in

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: the people in this country is going to, you know,

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: significantly decrease in the Republican Party's ability to lead. I

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: know you have thin margins. I know it's not easy,

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: but if all of you don't come to this simple

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: basic truth and conclusion that you are all going to

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: win together or you're all going to lose together, it's

115
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: not going to be Oh well, I stood on my principle,

116
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: and I stood with Steve Scalise or I voted for

117
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy because this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

118
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: Whatever your reason, your rationale, you where for you why

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't negate the fact that you know, we're now

120
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: headed towards a two week march where the People's House

121
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: has been closed and important business needs to be done,

122
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: and you're you're elected to do a job, and the

123
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: first order of business is to choose the speaker. And

124
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: now you're in the process, and you have an opportunity.

125
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Probably we'll have another opportunity today, and I assume if

126
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: that vote gets closer and we get to tomorrow, maybe

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: by then they'll wise up after hearing from a lot

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: of the their constituents that they're sick and tired of this,

129
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: you know Adam Schift show that goes on in the

130
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: swamp and the sewer, because you know, listen, let me

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: put it this way, Democrats are loving this. The White

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: House is loving this. Everybody except the American people are

133
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: benefiting from this.

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: Democrats are benefiting.

135
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: They're getting, you know, cheap political points, and it's just

136
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: time for you guys to do your job. It's that simple,

137
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: and open up the people's house and get back to work.

138
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Roll up your sleeves, get back to work. It's not

139
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: that it's not that complicated here. And you know the

140
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: idea that you are asked a few questions or you know,

141
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: people are calling in everything and they're being mean, you know,

142
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: and I see all these groups have been given out

143
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: the number, We've given out the switchboard number a million times.

144
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't even want to get into that today because

145
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: you know what to do, you know who it is.

146
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: But I will tell you this.

147
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: Any one member can move with a motion to vacate

148
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: and put us in this position. That has to stop.

149
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: It has to be more serious than that. But we'll

150
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: see what happens. Democrats are offering speaker pro tem you

151
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: know Patrick McHenry at North Carolina deal to temporarily grant

152
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: him full powers. I'm sorry, that's not leadership by the

153
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Republican rank and file, nor is it you know, healthy

154
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: if some of these Republicans are peeled away and would

155
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: actually partner with Democrats and elect HAKEM. Jeffries his speaker.

156
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: If I read one more story about that, I think

157
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I'll burst a blood vessel. So look, I don't care

158
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: if it takes a few votes. I don't care if

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: it takes today and tomorrow. But after that, my patience

160
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: is zero for Republicans, you know, it's it's just it

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: has to happen. They take their first vote. It's now

162
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: two weeks to the day after Speaker McCarthy was ousted.

163
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: The House last week went. You know, they last went

164
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: two weeks without a speaker. That was what eighteen forty

165
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: nine according to Chad Pergram. And in that case, they

166
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: finally elected Howell Cobb of Georgia as Speaker.

167
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: But the House votes.

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Repeatedly, you know, during the interim, and finally settled on

169
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Cobb in that case, on the sixty third ballot. Jim

170
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Jordan has significantly narrowed the gap from yesterday in his

171
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: push to become speaker. He's now the magic number is

172
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: two sixteen today, so he needs sixteen more votes. And

173
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the votes that I was just

174
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: referring to for Speaker McCarthy, if you look at the votes,

175
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, for Steve Scalise, all right, in the case

176
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: of McCarthy, you know, that's six. In the case of Scalise,

177
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: that's seven and the case of Zelden Boom, you got

178
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: you sixteen and then you still have what five other

179
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: votes that you could go with. Why are people voting

180
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: the way they are? Really, I just honestly don't care.

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: It's not that important to me. I think a lot

182
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: of it is ego and a lot of it is

183
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: they're mad. But I just remind them all. Not that

184
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: they ever will listen to Sean Hannity or care about

185
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: what John Hannity says, but they won't care what their

186
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: constituents say. And you know, if you I'm not telling

187
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: people what to do, but you know how to get

188
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: in contact with your elected officials.

189
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: Remember there's supposed to be public servants. This is not

190
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: that hard. You know.

191
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: We have a world that's collapsing around us. It's time

192
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: to get to work. Now we've got Iran warning that

193
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: may be an imminent preemptive action against Israel by them.

194
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: I will tell you if that if there is that

195
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: level of escalation, because now Israel's looking at the possibility

196
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: of a two front war. In the north, they would

197
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: be fighting his villa at a Lebanon and in the

198
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: south Gaza and Hamas. And if in fact Iranian at

199
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: the Iranians, and they said yesterday that Israel can expect

200
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: a preemptive action if Israel launches their defense after the

201
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: worst terror attacks in their history. Yeah, guess what they're saying.

202
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: All options are open and cannot be indifferent. Whatever Israel

203
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: needs to do to defend itself and protect its country,

204
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: they are going to do so. Iran can make all

205
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: the threats they want. The Iranian Foreign Minister, all opt

206
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: are open. We cannot be indifferent to the war crimes

207
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: committed against the people of Gaza in the coming hours.

208
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: We can expect a preemptive action by the resistance front.

209
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: They're telling Reuters, top Iranian diplomat, not specifying what he

210
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: meant by preemptive action. If Iran enters this war, I

211
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: promise you it'll be like It'll be unlike any war

212
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: we have ever seen. By the way, John Kirby, no

213
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: question that Hamas you know hostage is seen in a

214
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: video speaking under duress. Of course they're under duress. Have

215
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: you seen the hostage videos of these hamas, you know,

216
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: terrorists holding up little babies that they kidnapped.

217
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Now they think the number of.

218
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: People captive held hostage is as many as two to

219
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: three hundred.

220
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: So this is now going to go. This is going

221
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: to ratchet up really quick.

222
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what the point of Joe Biden

223
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: going there is about. I've been told from my sources

224
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: that on the one hand, Joe Biden is saying all

225
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: the right things that Hamas needs to be eliminated, but

226
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: you can't stay there and you can't annihilate Gaza. Okay,

227
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: so you want to put handcuffs on Israel as they fight,

228
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: they were the same thing you did to Ukraine and

229
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: wasting our money in Ukraine by putting handcuffs on the

230
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Ukrainians to fight back. Senator Tom Cotton has called on

231
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: the Biden Department of Homeland Security now to deport pro

232
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Hamas foreign nationals. I reported this yesterday. Nineteen Iranians caught

233
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: in the last week at our border. What are Iranians

234
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: doing at our border? How did they get there? Who

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: paid for that? Seventeen Syrians? Who paid for them? Cotton

236
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: is saying, can you immediately deport any foreign national, especially

237
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: any alien on a student visa? That is press support

238
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: for Hamas and it's murderous attack on Israel's That's simple, basic, fundamental,

239
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: common sense Josh Halley calling on the Biden DOJ to

240
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: investigate pro Hamas groups on America's college campuses. That's one

241
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: on one also, but it's also simp simple basic national

242
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: security that you control your own borders and you don't

243
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: allow in eight million people in three years like Joe

244
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: Biden has without any vetting, no background checks, and just

245
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: free transportation to the city of your choice. I mean,

246
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: that is the biggest national security threat by design that

247
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: I've ever seen.

248
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: Or heard of in my life.

249
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Prolong toll free on numbers eight hundred and ninety FOURT

250
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of

251
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: the program. Congressman Chip Roy of Texas will be joining

252
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: us at the bottom of the hour. Where do things

253
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: stand in this? You know, effort to get Jim Jordan

254
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: the votes needed. He's down sixteen after the first round

255
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the votes. I hope we don't have to go through

256
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: fifteen again. That would be painful, But Republicans are making

257
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: it painful on themselves. I know people want me to

258
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: give out the phone number. You will put it up

259
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com as a public service. The only

260
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: thing I ask people is when you make your phone call,

261
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: and you have every right to contact your elected representatives

262
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: if you choose. Just be respectful, you know, don't be

263
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: you know one of these you know, liberal idiots screaming

264
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: and yelling and ranting and raving. Explain to them why

265
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: you think it's important that the People's House be opened again,

266
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: and that you don't like these temporary measures. I frankly,

267
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: I just think it's an abdication of leadership if they

268
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: cop out and say, oh, well, empower McHenry for three months.

269
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: No, pick a speaker. That's what you're hired to do.

270
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, you have to make hard choices, and yeah,

271
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: you may not get the person you want, but that's

272
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: the way the process works. I didn't make the process,

273
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: it's just the way it works. I think Jordan would

274
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: be a great speaker myself, and I know that people

275
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: are angry, and you know that a Voppah McCarthy and

276
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: a vote for Scalise or a vote for lee Zelden,

277
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: those enough would put Jordan over the top, would be

278
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: and then you can get back to the business of

279
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: opening the People's House and dealing with the important issues

280
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: of our day. The one thing you can always count on,

281
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity is back on the radio. All right, twenty

282
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: five now to the top of the hour. Thank you

283
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: for being with us. Here's our toll free number. It's

284
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one, Sean if you want to

285
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. I want to take

286
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: a minute to remind you of the great work and

287
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: ministry of Preborn and this is it's a very simple,

288
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: but it's having a big, huge impact. You know, women

289
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: find themselves that they end up and they're pregnant, and

290
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, some people don't know what to do and

291
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: they're torn. And Preborn offers free ultrasounds for D ultrasounds

292
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: to any expecting mom and they have clinics all around

293
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: the country and they offer other great services, counseling services

294
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: and women that go forward and give birth to their

295
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: child if they need any help post birth, baby formula, diapers,

296
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be, baby food that they're.

297
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: There for them.

298
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: Unlike Planned Parenthood, they don't get a penny from the

299
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: federal government, not one cent. And the amazing thing is

300
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: is they just use the science of four D ultrasound

301
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: and what they're discovering is is once expecting moms here

302
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: heartbeats and once they're able to see, you know, facial

303
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: features in the miracle of birth growing within them and

304
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: count fingers and toes that exponentially, the odds are much

305
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: much higher that they're going to see this pregnancy through

306
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: ain't with the help of Preborn.

307
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: Now.

308
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: They can only do this great work due to your generosity.

309
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: I donated two four D sound machines myself because their

310
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: clinics desperately need them. Every forty ultrasound costs twenty eight bucks.

311
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a lot, but they they they're lined

312
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: up every day and they just they can't even fit

313
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: everybody in. But they can't do it without your help.

314
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: So if you believe in the sanctity of life, if

315
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: you're with the pro life community, all right, well, here's

316
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity to help a great cause that's having a

317
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: profound impact on people. Just pound two fifty, say the

318
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: keyword baby, pound two fifty, keyword baby, or just donate

319
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: on their website. It's preborn dot com slash Sean sea

320
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: n preborn dot com slash sean. I know a lot

321
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: of you are asking, what are the numbers handed he

322
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: send out? Give out the numbers of these congressmen I'm

323
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: not gonna get involved with that. We'll put it up

324
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: on our website as a public service. You know the

325
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: numbers of your local representatives. But the reality is okay.

326
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: So the first vote took place. We expect probably another

327
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: vote today. Hopefully they won't need a third one, which

328
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: I would expect probably would happen tomorrow. Congressman Chip Roy

329
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: of Texas is with US Congressman. I don't know how

330
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: you work in that dysfunctional place we call the swamp

331
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: with a sewer, but you work there.

332
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 4: Indeed, I do good to be on Seohn. Look, I mean,

333
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: I just want to remind all your listeners, and you know,

334
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: don't lose heart. Right, We're in the middle of a war,

335
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 4: a war to take this country back from a broken

336
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: Washington establishment that frankly, the Republican Party was neck deep

337
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: in for far too long. You know that, And I

338
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: know that. Jim Jordan, Jim Jordan, one of the founders

339
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: of the Freedom Cacase a mere eight years ago, with

340
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 4: whom I was huddling with Ted Cruz when Ted was

341
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: his chief of staff when we were fighting the Obamacare

342
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: fight in twenty thirteen. Jim who helped leave to cut

343
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 4: cap and ballance effort, which put in the spending restraints

344
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 4: to questions. That worked for a while until the swamp

345
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: bit back. That guy just got two hundred votes for

346
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: Speaker of the House. We're in the middle of this

347
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: and everybody needs to remember that. Don't back down, don't

348
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 4: back away. Because we didn't get the votes on the

349
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 4: first round. This is a long war. Look me very clear.

350
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: He got two hundred votes. Yep, there were twenty who

351
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: voted for other Republicans. That's okay, now you know who

352
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: they are. I spent all weekend working with him. I

353
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: haven't been pointing fingers, but they've now voted publicly. So

354
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 4: if you're their constituents, you let them know whether you agree.

355
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: My simple question is this, here's what's really going on,

356
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: and this is what's really important. What's happening is and

357
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 4: I've got friends in that group, and I've made good

358
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 4: friends in that group twenty. But here's the problem. The

359
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: consistency among that group is very clear. War and money.

360
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 4: It's about the power of appropriators. There were appropriated the

361
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 4: Appropriations Chair, cardinals, seven members of the Appropriations Committee, a

362
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 4: bunch of members of the House Armed Services Committee. The

363
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 4: power also of the Golden ticket that some wanted for

364
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: fundraising from Kevin McCarthy. If you look at that group,

365
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 4: it's all about war and money, power to spend money,

366
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 4: spend Americans money, or to go get money to be

367
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: able to go run from office. And that's what it's

368
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: all about, none of which or what they campaign on,

369
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: and none of which or what the American Senate's here

370
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: to do. So now, well, hopefully go back down to

371
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: the floor. We'll have a vote, and the American people's

372
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: voices need to be heard through this process. Do you

373
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: want it change? Do you stand with Jim Jordan? Do

374
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 4: you stand to change this town so that we can

375
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: fight the Democrats and win for you, or do you

376
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: want more of the same. I know what my people want, I.

377
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: Know what I want, and I've been very clear. I

378
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: think at some point here the patience of the American

379
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: people is going to run thin. I think it's running

380
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: thin now. And I think Jim Jordan, I've said it publicly,

381
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a great speaker. If you take

382
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: away the votes from Scalis and the votes from from

383
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, neither of which are going to be speaker,

384
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: and you take away the votes from Lee Zelden. He's

385
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: not going to be speaker. Then you know that that

386
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: would be enough. That would be the magic number. I

387
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: think today it's is it two sixteen or two seventeen

388
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: you need today?

389
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: I think it's two sixteen.

390
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 4: Turns out ye about seventeen, Okay, I think.

391
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Today it's two sixteen. So at that point those votes go. Now,

392
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: this vote took place a couple hours ago, and you've

393
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: had time to meet with some other members. Maybe members

394
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: that voted against Jim. Are there any that you think

395
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: now are going to change their mind? Maybe they wanted

396
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: to make a statement in this first vote. However, you know,

397
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: we've got serious issues beyond personal issues. You know, we've

398
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: we've got war breaking out in the Middle East. Israel

399
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: may be facing a two front war with his Bellah

400
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: and in Lebanon in the north, in Gaza and Hamas

401
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: in the south. And then they've got this added threat

402
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: that Iran may preemptively strike Israel. If that happens, you know,

403
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: all bets are off the table. Here's what I don't

404
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: like and I don't want to have as a result,

405
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't want a temporary band aid solution. Oh will

406
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: empower McHenry, the pro tes you know, placement for thirty

407
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: sixty or ninety days, that's not leading. The other thing

408
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: I can't even believe I'm reading so much about it

409
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: that can't happen, is that some Republicans work with the

410
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: Democrats and help Hakeem Jefferys become speaker. I mean, the

411
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: fact that that's even being written about shocks me. And

412
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: I think that at some point here they've got to realize, well,

413
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: maybe it's not my guy, maybe it's not my first choice,

414
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: but we've got to get back. It's been two weeks

415
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: since the People's House has been open, and you've got

416
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of business to do on top of wide

417
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: open borders, appropriations, bills that haven't been passed. And I

418
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: think the American people now, their patients is running out.

419
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: My patients is running.

420
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 4: Out, Sean understandably. And look, my patients is running out.

421
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: Because I wanted to get busy going on offense to

422
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: beat back this ridiculous, tyrannical democratic regime that is driving

423
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: up in place, taking aware freedom, undermining our security, harming Israel,

424
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 4: leaving our borders open, allowing our people to die from fentanyl,

425
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 4: all of the things you and I know we need

426
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: to be fighting against. But here's the thing. We're going

427
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 4: to fight right now to get the right person to

428
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: lead us through the next year so that we can

429
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: have a really successful fall next year. We have got

430
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: to have a mandate. I am not one of those

431
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 4: that's over here worried, crying in the corner that we're

432
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: going to get wiped out next year. We've got to

433
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: have this fight, Sean. It's what we've been fighting for again.

434
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: Back to my point. Are you in this town because

435
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: you want leadership's money so you can go run for reelection?

436
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: Are you in this town because you want to spend

437
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: America's money or America's borrowing. I'm not here for those things.

438
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: I'm here to fight and win. I'm here for first place,

439
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 4: not second place. I'm here for a country that I

440
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: can pass down to my kids and grandkids. And I

441
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: don't know what the twenty who voted against Jim think

442
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: the message they're sending to the world is other than yeah,

443
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: I don't like Jim Jordan, who has devoted his entire

444
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: career in public office to trying to change this town.

445
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: I promise you, every one of the twenty those twenty

446
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: run against this town, run against spending, run against open borders,

447
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 4: run against you know, all of the tyranny in the

448
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 4: federal government. But yet here, here we are somehow, Jim's not.

449
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: So you've had a couple of hours, I assume you've

450
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: had conversations with some of the twenty.

451
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: How have they.

452
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: Gone, well, I mean, we've been having ongoing conversations. I'm

453
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 4: leaving a lot of that to Gym. I've had some

454
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: with a few of these folks, and I think people

455
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: are starting to understand and here that that you know,

456
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 4: we're not stopping, we're not backing away. We've got to

457
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: figure out how to come together to get this done.

458
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: And so you know, for example, one of these twenty

459
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 4: I won't say who yet, I'm not sure if it's

460
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: the public, has said that they'll they'll vote for Gym

461
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: next time. I think there's a couple more that are getting,

462
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 4: you know, moving in the right and to RCT. You know,

463
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 4: one of the who's a really good friend of mine.

464
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 4: We talked at length over the weekend and and you know,

465
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: very specifically, this individual said, I'm not going to go

466
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 4: vote for for Hakeen Jeffries or the Democrats, he's a socialist.

467
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot of noise out there that's not

468
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 4: I think actually true. We are having a very open

469
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: family fight that I wish we weren't having. But at

470
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: the end of the day, it's not all that bad either.

471
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 4: You know, we're the worst foreign government except all the others.

472
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 4: This is a republic and right now we're battling for

473
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 4: the soul of the country, and it is a battle

474
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 4: worth having. So we're going to keep going, Sean and

475
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: we'll we'll have conversations here until we go back to

476
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: the floor. I hope we'll go back to the floor tonight.

477
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: We'll see where these numbers go. I hope they shrink. Look,

478
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 4: there could be a couple of people.

479
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: By the way, the CNN is reporting one of their

480
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: reporters that Scalise and Jordan just met. Jordan asks for

481
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: Scalise's help, and the speakers race Scalise wouldn't commit.

482
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: Well, is that is that true?

483
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 4: I don't know. I haven't talked to Jim about it,

484
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: and I haven't talked to Steve about it. You know,

485
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: seven people voted for Steve. I think there are some

486
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: people here again. I want to go back to the

487
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: main point. Steve is a friend. I like working with Steve.

488
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, do we want

489
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 4: more of the continuation of what we've been doing, or

490
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: do we want to change? I think virtually everybody I

491
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 4: know wants to see a change. Jim represents changed. Jim

492
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: is an agent of changed. We need to fight for

493
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: the American people who are getting screwed over by a

494
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 4: government that is too big. We have one of my colleagues, okay,

495
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 4: and I'm not going to say who is a private meeting.

496
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: One of my colleagues stood up in front of the

497
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 4: conference and lectured us that we chosen a path to

498
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 4: go into shutdown to fight over spending levels and to

499
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: fight the secure border. That oh, we wouldn't have checks

500
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: going out to pay for people's salaries and border patrol

501
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: and our mental women in uniform, all of which is

502
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: a true concern. But if you think that that is

503
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 4: a trump card, then you might as well hand your

504
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 4: voting card over to the Democrats and say you will

505
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 4: never use the of the purse to fight to change

506
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 4: this place, because guess what is the eight hundred and

507
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: eighty six billion to write him out for defense?

508
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: On?

509
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: Why not one and a half trillion, Why not two trillion?

510
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: You want more guns and bullets, why don't you borrow

511
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: more money? That's a bogus argument. Somebody's got to grab

512
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: this place and change it. And Jim Jordan is the

513
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: instrument for change, and I'm going to keep fighting for him.

514
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: How do you see this going down? Let's talk about

515
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: the timeline. You know, we're now approaching the four o'clock

516
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: hour on the East coast, and so I guess my

517
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: question to you is do you expect a vote in

518
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: the next couple hours? Is there going to be a vote?

519
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: If you have not behind the scenes secured the sixteen

520
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: votes that Jim would need to get over the top,

521
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: is there going to be more negotiations? You know what's

522
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: what's Kevin's rolling all this?

523
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Kevin has been a good thing, the

524
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 4: actor working with Jim try to secure votes over the

525
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: course of the last several days. Look, there's a block.

526
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, I know that to be true

527
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: because I've had conversations with him.

528
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: Yep, yep, absolutely, And again, whatever the result of all

529
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: of this, we're all gonna have to come together and

530
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: work together. But what I'll tell you is Jim and Kevin.

531
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: They're working together try to get votes. I can't speak

532
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: for Steve. I don't mean that negatively or positively. I

533
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: just haven't talked to him about it today. But they're

534
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 4: keep working on trying to get votes to get us

535
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 4: to the number. Again. We had two hundred, like he

536
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: pointed out, that's darn close to the two sixteen or

537
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 4: seventeen that we need. We'll keep working through it today.

538
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what will happen, but I expect us

539
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 4: to have a vote tonight. I would hope so, and

540
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: we'll see where the number goes. Look, he could go

541
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 4: up or down. There are people with raw feelings that

542
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 4: believe we shouldn't have abandoned Kevin, and there's some people

543
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 4: who thought that we should go to the next guy up.

544
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 4: I happen to believe, as I said, you know, I

545
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: didn't support the motion of vacate, but it happened. Let's

546
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 4: move on. I think Jim Jordan is the right vote.

547
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: He's the guy that could change this place. And I

548
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: think he could move and mobilize all of us together

549
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: to go combat the Democrats. And so we'll keep driving

550
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: that message today again. The message here Sean is the

551
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: American people are demanding change. You can't just fold because

552
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 4: you're weary. When all of those men were sitting in

553
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 4: the Foxholes and best Owned, they were cold and they

554
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: were freezing and they were tired, but they didn't stop.

555
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: We're not going to stop trying to change this god

556
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 4: forsaken broken town that is racked up thirty three trillion

557
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: dollars a debt and letting fentanyl pour into our communities.

558
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: And it's not just Biden, it's Republicans who are complicit.

559
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: Republicans have let it happen. And we're holding those Republicans

560
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 4: accountable right now, and they don't like it. That's what's happening.

561
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Is it helpful when constituents call I mean? Because, for example,

562
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: you saw a text messages. I got a list of people.

563
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I've worked my sources all weekend. You aren't one of

564
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: my sources, but I've talked to you over the weekend,

565
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: and I found out the list of people that were

566
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: resisting Jim, and I asked them a few questions. Is

567
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: it true that you're not supporting him? If not, why not?

568
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: How do you then plan on opening the People's House?

569
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: Do you think this is a good idea for the

570
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: People's House to be closed, and wars breaking out in

571
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: the Middle East, we have war in Europe and open

572
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: borders and we can't have we have no appropriations finished.

573
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: And would you ever work with the Democrats to elect

574
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: a speaker? Do you do you find any of those

575
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: questions unfair, because apparently it triggered a number of your colleagues.

576
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 4: Well, no, absolutely not. I think these are fair questions

577
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: that I meant to be clear. You and I talked

578
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: about this. I thought over the weekend we should not

579
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: be folk pointing fingers in any of our colleagues. Let

580
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: them figure it out. Let Jim go with the votes.

581
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Now you have twenty people who have gone on the

582
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: record for God in America and all their constituents to see.

583
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 4: And there are a lot of friends here. I've got

584
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: three texts. I'm not going to name them by names,

585
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: but I've got three Texans here who are friends of

586
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: mine in the Texas delegation. I've got good friends of

587
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: mine that I work on lots of issues. And here's

588
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: the question, why are they a no? And their constituents

589
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: deserved to know, They deserve to know where they would

590
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: take the country.

591
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to ascertain it is. But

592
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: let me ask the final question is is it helpful

593
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: for people to call them or do they get just

594
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: pissed off and more entrenched.

595
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: In what call?

596
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely, call, call call my office. If you disagree with me,

597
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: I deserve that you're my constituent, you call. You call

598
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: your member of Congress right now, pick up the phone

599
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 4: and call your congressman and let them know what you think.

600
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: The states are too high. Absolutely, and I would say

601
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 4: that with all twenty of these friends of mine in

602
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 4: the room right well.

603
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not pushing the number. But we

604
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: did put as so many people have asked for it.

605
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: We put it up on Hannity dot com. If people wanted,

606
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: I just asked that they be polite. They can't stand

607
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: when people are rude. All right, chip Roy, thanks my friend.

608
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: If you had to guess what time is the vote tonight,

609
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't.

610
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 4: Know because I haven't heard. I just throw out a

611
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: guest to six o'clock. But look, I work for my

612
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: constituents just like they do, so your constituents should call.

613
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: All right, chip Roy, Congressman Texas, Thank you, sir,
