1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Right down our toll 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,159 Speaker 1: free telephone number. We'd love to hear from you and 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: on a lot of you have a lot on your 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: mind today, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean. If 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, let 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: me just tell you where I am mentally, emotionally, I've 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: hit the reset. That's all there is to it. Things 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: are what they are, and yesterday come and yesterday's gone. 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: Now the question is for Republicans moving forward, they can 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: be successful. You know this, This could be a you know, 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: in the end, it may work out great. I don't know. 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: I don't have a crystal ball. I will tell you this. 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: If they did the and they you know, go on 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: forever and ever, and this this takes a long period 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: of time. Why do you look like you're talking to 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: me when you're not. But if this goes on for 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: a long period of time, this is you know this, 19 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: this could turn into a political disaster for Republicans. They 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: need to get moving and get moving quick now. I 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: know there's been some criticism of some as of the plan. 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: Right now is next Tuesday, all of the potential speakers, 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Guys like Scalis. We're going to talk about Jim Jordan 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: has now throwing his hat in the ring. And I'll 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: be very upfront, Jim Jordan is my choice to be 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: the next Speaker of the House. And they will be 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: peppered with questions on Monday by the entire conference, and 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: we expect a vote on Tuesday. The first vote on 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: Tuesday for Speaker of the House. Now, I hope it 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: doesn't take fifteen votes. I hope that we're going to 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: make a rules change. I'll tell you right now, any 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: every single person that runs for that needs to be 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: united on this one front. That the idea that anyone, 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: any one member can put forward a motion of vacate 35 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: that just doesn't fly. That is not practical. You got 36 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: a little over a year for this person to show 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: and to prove themselves that they're worthy to be the 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: speaker and keep the promises that they make to the caucus. Now, 39 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: if you want to raise the bar and say that 40 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: you only need twenty five, you only need thirty people. 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: And I see you stealing that candy alley, I say, 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: I see what's going on there? Yeah, Ali, Oh my god, 43 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: that's Cold. Ali worked for Rush Limbo. She now works 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, and she just came in. 45 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: They all come into our studio to steal our candid. 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: But she's outside the door, not in the studio. Now 47 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: She's like no, she just looked mortified that I mentioned 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: her name on it. I sink we got to stash 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: a candy in moonshine. I mean, we have everything you 50 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: could ever want in a radio studio. What's it. That's 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: what it takes to get through this. I know what 52 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: it takes me for you guys, not for me. I 53 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: once tried to like a sip of that stuff, and 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, real deal, you know, I'm like, how to 55 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: hell the people drink that? Maybe give me like a 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: full full bowl of punch and I'll put a shot 57 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: in it. I mean, that's how strong this stuff is. Anyway, 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: I digress. So we can't have a motion of vacating 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: my view. Now, maybe that stops the process right in 60 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: its tracks. If that's the case, then you know, at 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm just being philosophical here. 62 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Republicans are either going to be successful together or they're 63 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: going to fail together. There's not going to be any 64 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: in between? That just is it? Now? I like Steve Scalise, 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: by the way, praying for him. I know he's been 66 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: dealing with cancer treatments. He has some type of blood 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: cancer disorder. I've heard. It's not that serious. It's treatable, 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: you know. I hope he lives a long, happy life. 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: I respect him. In my view, he's too closely associated 70 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: with Kevin And at this point I don't think anybody 71 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: wants to go through it. But when you have a 72 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: situation where ninety six percent of a caucus, you know, 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: or only up against four members of a caucus that 74 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: can partner with the opposition party that boats lockstep, I 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: mean Democrats. How many times have I said this? They 76 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: circle the wagons and Republicans create a circular firing squad, 77 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: and Republicans have got to get on the same page ultimately. 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: And I guess this is my only area of criticism 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: or frustration in this process is where it was unnecessary? 80 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: Is it? And there were legitimate criticisms of McCarthy. McCarthy 81 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: had promised to return to regular order on spending bills, 82 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: appropriations bills. Now, to their credit, about seventy percent of 83 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: that work was done by passing four out of the 84 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: twelve appropriations bills, but that represented about seventy percent of 85 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: the budget. That's not enough. So real full credit Freedom 86 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Caucus members. They're the most conservative group in the House. 87 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: They have disparate groups. They have the Tuesday they have 88 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: the Study Group, they have more moderate Republicans. So you've 89 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: got very in factions and you've got a tiny majority. 90 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, you've got a four or five seat margin 91 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: at best, some days it's three. So they really do 92 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: have to in the end be united in where they 93 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: stand or else nothing is going to work. And if 94 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: they're killing each other instead of focusing on as Donald 95 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: Trump had put on true social esterday, instead of going 96 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: after the democratical democratic climate, you know, religious cult alarmists. 97 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: If they're not united together, and then they can't defeat 98 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: what they're doing to the country. And right now there 99 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: really are two very huge, well three very huge priorities. 100 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: One is the continued Oversight and that would be three 101 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: committees Ways and Means. That's Jason Smith's Committee, the House 102 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: Government and Accountability Committee that's James Comer, and the House 103 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, which is Jim Jordan. Now Jim Jordan. Now 104 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: I know over the years he's been reluctant in resistance 105 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: to throw his hat in the ring. I was very 106 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: happy to see that he has thrown his hat in 107 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the ring. Here sent out a letter to his colleagues. Quote, 108 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: Dear colleague, the American people have entrusted us to lead 109 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: in the House of Representatives. Our majority has had success 110 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: in the first nine months of the one hundred and 111 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: eighteenth Congress. We should be proud of what we have 112 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: achieved together in these divided times, but our work is 113 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: not done. Far left progressive policies are destroying our communities, 114 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: our security, our future. We have soaring crime across the country. 115 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: We have an administration with open border policies that have 116 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: caused chaos and left our country vulnerable. We have seen 117 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: federal agencies turned on the American people, silencing speech online, 118 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: targeting parents at school board meetings, flagging pro life Catholics 119 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: as potential domestic terror threats. I added domestic and terror anyway. 120 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: We have witnessed blatant double stamps in federal law enforcement. 121 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: We continue to spend too much money, and Americans are 122 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: suffering under Joe Biden's economy. The Republican majority must continue 123 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: to address the issues that matter to the American people. 124 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: We must address rising crime in major cities, reject soft 125 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: on crime, pro criminal policies. We must get our fiscal 126 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: house in order and reduce spending so that we can 127 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: leave more to the next generation than crushing a crushing 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: deficit and debt. We must do our constitutional oversight of 129 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: the federal bureaucracy to ensure they work for the American people, 130 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: not the other way around. And we must continue working 131 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: to secure the border and protect our national security. We 132 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: agreed at the beginning of the Congress that there are 133 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: three fundamental things the House must do. Pass the bills 134 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: that need to be passed, do the oversight, reign in 135 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: the spending, and working with Chairman Green and our leadership, 136 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: I help deliver the most significant legislative accomplishment, where the 137 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: strongest immigration and border enforcement bill ever. Now, with other 138 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: committee chairs and members of the Judiciary Committee, I am 139 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: doing the oversight and holding the administration accountable, and I 140 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: have been among the leaders in pushing for fiscal discipline 141 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: my entire career. We are at a critical crossroad in 142 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: our nation's history. Now is the time for our Republican 143 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: Conference to come together to keep our promises to Americans. 144 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. 145 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: We can focus on the changes that improve the country 146 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: and unite us in offering real solutions. But no matter 147 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: what we do, we must do it together. As a conference, 148 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: I respectfully ask for your support the Speaker of the 149 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. So my answer is I want Jim Jordan. 150 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: There's my answer. Some of you may disagree, and I'm 151 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: perfectly fine with that. Steve Scalise is a good man, 152 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: but it seems it's like to me at this early hour, 153 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: it's going to come down to these two if you 154 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: have the people that pretty much you know, and I'm 155 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: not criticizing Matt Gates. Matt Gates had it was personal 156 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: between them. That part I wish didn't exist. It definitely was, 157 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: because I know both of them, have spoken to both 158 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: of them, and a lot of this was personal. That's one. 159 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: Number two. I do think that there was some valid 160 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: criticism of speaking McCarthy. The budget deal they made back 161 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: in May, you know, was not a good deal, and 162 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans, rightly in my view, were angry 163 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: that he partnered with Democrats. That was dumb, and the 164 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 1: fact that he had basically a do over in this situation, 165 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: and you know, did not he knew that he had 166 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: promised that we get back to regular order and passing 167 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: the appropriations bill. In that sense, Gates telegraphed everything that 168 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: he was going to do yesterday. In my view, that 169 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: could have been avoided if they just stay aid with 170 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: regular order, if they didn't go on vacation for a 171 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: month in August and take that long summer recess. They 172 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had, you know, the time pressure that they 173 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: had when they came back after Labor Day to get 174 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: the appropriations bills completed, and they only got for the 175 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: eight of them done. Now, there was an off ramp 176 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: that was set up by Byron Donalds and Chip Roy 177 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: and Scott Perry from the Freedom Caucus, and that was okay. Well, 178 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: the first offer was eight percent spending cuts across the board, 179 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: but for Defense, Department of Homeland Security meaning border security, 180 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: and for a veterance Okay, I thought that was a 181 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: reasonable bridge cr that would have worked for me I 182 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: was in Congress. I would have gone for that deal. 183 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: The only people that went against it, they weren't the 184 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: more moderate liberal members of the Republican caucus. There are 185 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: eighteen Republican House members that come from districts that Joe 186 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: Biden won. They're all risking their care by voting for 187 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: that type of provision. But they went with it. And 188 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, these guys had to work really hard and 189 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: dig deep behind the scenes to make that happen. Anyway, 190 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: it was, it was people at that point. The handwriting 191 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: was on the wall. It didn't matter what ship Roy 192 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: or Byron Donald's or Scott Perry put together. Their their 193 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: goal at that point had already shifted, and it was 194 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: to get McCarthy. That's how I see it now. With 195 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: that said, you deal with the hand you dealt, not 196 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: with the hand you know you're not dealt. That's all 197 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy because he made the promise. In my view, so 198 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: some of that criticism legitimate, you know, on the issues 199 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: of term limits and on the issues of a balanced 200 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: budget amendment. Yeah, I think we need to hold Democrats accountable, 201 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: get the vote their votes on the record, and that's 202 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: certainly something that needs to be a priority in this Congress. 203 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: Didn't need to happen right away, and there was no 204 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: chance in hell that either one of those were ever 205 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: going to become law when it would die in the Senate, 206 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't even get anywhere Joe Biden's desk where he would 207 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: have vetoed it if it ever did anyway, So really 208 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: the focus and then the second round of options off 209 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: ramp offered by again Ship Roy, Byron Donalds and Scott Perry, 210 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: was a thirty percent cut. Now this one even went 211 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: further and increased spending for defense, increased spending to secure 212 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: the border, and increase spending for veterans programs. Okay, everything else, 213 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: thirty percent wipe it out just to get a thirty 214 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: day reprieve and have a continuing resolution. We ended up 215 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: with a crappy one in the end because he had 216 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: some Republicans partner with Democrats and they passed a clean 217 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: cr and none of those provisions were in there. So 218 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: we're the loser for forty five days. But in the interim, 219 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, under those two scenarios, now again that was 220 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: a good bridge so that the appropriations bills which people 221 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: like Congressman Matt Gaetz and others wanted that could have 222 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: been paid, that could have been completed, and then would 223 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: have been regular order and maybe just thirty days late. 224 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: Not the biggest deal, considering it hasn't happened. I think 225 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: since Nuke king Rich New king Rich as speaker balanced 226 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: budget four times hasn't hadn't been done in my lifetime before, 227 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: and hasn't been done since. So I give him a 228 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: lot of credit. But you know the people that voted 229 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: against even that deal. It was not the moderates, and 230 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: it was not the more liberal Republicans. This was Matt 231 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Gets and a lot of these guys that voted to 232 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: boot McCarthy. Now, this doesn't have to end in the disaster. 233 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: Could end with Speaker Jim Jordan, and if that's the 234 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: outcome of this, that would be a good outcome. But 235 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, if Jim Jordan does this, or 236 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: if anybody wants this job, I think you're nuts. If 237 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: you take it, and there any one member can you know, 238 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: stop all all work in Congress and immediately put forward 239 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: a motion to vacate the chair. And then we go 240 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: through this again and again and again and again. The 241 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: guy is a little over a year, whoever you choose. 242 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: If it's Jordan, great, he will have a little over 243 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: a year to prove to you that he's capable of 244 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: keeping his word and standing on the promises that he makes. 245 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: If you're not happy after a year and a half, 246 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: when you get to the one hundred and nineteenth Congress, 247 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: if you even have power, because the longer this goes on, 248 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: the chances get greater that you won't have power. They 249 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: need to resolve this quickly because the patience of the 250 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: American people is going to grow thin. But at that point, 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: you will then have a track record, and then you 252 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: get to decide do you stick with the current speaker 253 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: and you move on to the next one. Anyway, eight 254 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one sean, if you want to 255 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. And I'm not in panic, 256 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: all these people relax. They have time to fix this, 257 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: restore order the most. The top priorities are oversight, securing 258 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: our borders, stopping Joe's open border policies, and reducing the 259 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: massive amount of debt that's throwing on our kids. That's it. Anyway, 260 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: Holiday season is upon us, and you know what, you 261 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: that could be pretty stressful in and of itself. I've 262 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: got an unforgivable gift that you can give your whole family. 263 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Bring your family together prioritizing health and wellness. And they've 264 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: got the best suggestion, and that is a Michael Phelps 265 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: swim spot from master Spas. Imagine slipping into the warm, 266 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: soothing waters right in the comfort of your backyard. Linda, 267 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: you do it pretty much on a daily basis. You 268 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: love it. I can't wait for the videos you're gonna 269 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: put up abuse swimming. Listen, I am telling you right now, 270 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: I can see the seam coming off of it as 271 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: it gets colder out and I get to go in 272 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: there and swim all year long. And guess what, it 273 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: only took them a day to put it in now. 274 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: But I you know, it was like, do you run 275 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: out there in your bathing suit and I'm cold? I'm 276 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: not that brief, But then I, you know, I don't 277 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: wear the rope, but you have no shoes on, no 278 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: shoes on, no shoes, no shoes, shoes essentially one other 279 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: point on this, you know, look uncertainty reign supreme. My advice. 280 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: Nobody listens to my advice, Linda. You know examples really 281 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: great advices. Matter of fact, we discussed this today that 282 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: I have given people in politics really profect would you agree, 283 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, really really good advice. And had they only 284 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: listened to me, you know, they've made a lot better shape. 285 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: True or false? True? True? I do it often, right, 286 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: I offer advice? What advice? You know that and what 287 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: will get you, you know, a ham sandwich maybe on 288 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: sourdough or rye sour dough. I don't eat rye anyway, 289 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: So you know there's a risk here. Here's where the 290 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: Republicans now, they better get their act together, and they 291 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: better understand the electorate mood at the time. People are 292 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: pissed off. I'm pissed off. I'm angry, I'm upset. I 293 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: don't like the direction of this country. I don't like 294 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, I have a ton of economic news. You 295 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: want me to share the bad news with you now 296 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: or you want me to share it with you later, 297 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: because none of it is any good for the American 298 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: family that you know, nearly two thirds of Americans live 299 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: in paycheck to paycheck. All these Americans suffering needlessly. Now, 300 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: now we're back to four dollars a gallon gasoline and 301 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: going higher, and predictions of one hundred and fifty dollars 302 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: a barrel for gasoline. You know what all of this 303 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: is preventable all the crime, all the disorder in our 304 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: towns and cities from dismantle and defund the police. It 305 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: is destroying the fabric of our society, you know, all 306 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: this open borders Joe Biden. By the end of this year, 307 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: it's going to be around eight million plus illegal immigrants, 308 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: none of them vetted allowed into the country because he 309 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: won't enforce the laws of the land, nor will he 310 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: go about the process of changing the laws. You know, 311 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: he just wiped out well nine billion dollars in student 312 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: loan debt today. How nice, nice of him to be 313 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: able to do that, considering a court rule that he 314 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: didn't have the right to do that. But you know, 315 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: Joe is not exactly an upholder oath and the Constitution guy, 316 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: as we've learned many, many times. But the American people 317 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: are suffering. We see a dual justice system. We see 318 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: we don't have equal justice or equal application of our 319 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: laws in this country anymore. You know, we have unnecessary 320 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: economic pain on the American people because of these idiotic 321 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: energy policies, these idiotic economic policies. You know. You know 322 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: the price of a mortgage is now going up to 323 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: eight percent for a thirty year fixed mortgage. Well, that's 324 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: done great to help the new housing market, because new 325 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: home construction has come to a screeching halt, not in Florida, 326 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: not in Tennessee, not in the Carolina is because so 327 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: many people are getting the hell out of high taxed 328 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: and states with tons of regulation. They'll get the hell 329 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: out and I'm not far behind them. I got to 330 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: get out of here because this is ridiculous. You know 331 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: now that AOC proposed today, Oh, we're gonna have a 332 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: five percent tax, you know. Then they want an illegal 333 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: immigrant tax for New York. I'm like, what do you 334 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: do with all the money we give you? You know, 335 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: do you live in New York City? It's thirteen and 336 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: a half percent income tax rates. It's the same as California. Yeah, well, 337 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: how come Florida as a zero income tax date? You know, 338 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: Texas a very low income tax date. Tennessee nothing, you 339 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: don't pay income taxes in state. Income taxes in Tennessee, 340 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: they very low rates. In the Carolinas. You know, I'd 341 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: rather have zero, but it's still, you know, a lot better. 342 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: How did we get to the point where you know, 343 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: we raise interest rates from in the thirty year fixed 344 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: rate mortgages. I know people that have two point eight percent. 345 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: Two point nine percent, that's what you got. Ethan has 346 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: to a you two point eight I hate you? No, 347 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't hate you. You know what, I'm happy for you. Now, 348 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: if you wanted to have a growing family. How many 349 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: kids you got? Now? Two? Right? Okay, so you got 350 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: two kids, growing family? What if you wanted a bigger home? 351 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: Would you even consider moving at this time? You can't, 352 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: and maybe a different state. If you're moving the show, 353 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: Well that's okay, then get ready, you know, let's get 354 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: out of here. Let's let's get everyone, say, everyone pack 355 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: up together, allied Van's lines. I'll pay for the move. 356 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: Let's get out of here. I don't think Linda's budgeting 357 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: out of Pennsylvania. She's a Pennsylvania person. Can't get away 358 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: from those cheese steaks in Pennsylvania, first of all, the 359 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: last oh my god, what the only thing keeping me 360 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania is family and the kids? All right? Understood? 361 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: You can also I'm not going to blend in Florida. 362 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: Well you can put on fake ten. Nobody will know. 363 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: And I'll go get that spray thing that that a 364 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: lot of people get, which I'd never get anyway. Look 365 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: at this ten year treasury yield hits the highest level 366 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: since two thousand and seven. Bankruptcy is now at an 367 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: all time high. I mean, this is a disaster. And 368 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: now we've had inflation go up yet again the next 369 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: last two months, and with the price of energy going 370 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: through the roof, inflation is only going to continue to soar. 371 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: So eight percent for a thirty year mortgage is going 372 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: to look cheap in two years from now mortgage rates. 373 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: This is right out of CNBC. Mortgage rate races towards 374 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: eight percent after hitting a high not seen since the 375 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: late late two thousand. I mean, that's twenty three years ago. 376 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: I think anybody cares about our national debt. We just 377 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: announced a couple of weeks ago that we've now topped 378 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: the thirty three trillion dollar mark and US debt zero 379 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: Hedge points out the US added a two hundred added 380 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: a whopping two hundred and seventy five billion a new 381 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: debt in one day yesterday. Total US debt is thirty 382 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: three trillion. I'm sorry, thirty three trillion, thirty three point 383 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: four four to two trillion. Even I can't even you 384 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: know who knows millions, billions, trillions, trillions. It's a lot 385 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: of money. How do you pay that back? Well, the 386 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: best way would be to be energy independent. But Americans 387 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: are suffering. And this, this, this gets to the heart 388 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: of why Republicans getting their act together and show that 389 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: they're going to get their act together and do it 390 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: expeditiously is going to matter. You know, I've heard some 391 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: people talk, well, they want they want to punish mac Gates. Sorry, 392 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: that's not the answer. You know, revenge at this time 393 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: is not the answer. Solutions are now the answer. Okay, Kevin, 394 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: Probably Kevin made a few mistakes here that ended up 395 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: being really really costly for him personally. But I hate 396 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: to say this, and I'm not I don't mean any 397 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: disrespect to Kevin. I think what happened to him, frankly, 398 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: is unfair. I thought that he I thought the deal 399 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: that Chip Roy and Byron Donald's and Scott Perry made 400 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: were legitimate. The people that stopped it, they had a 401 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: very different agenda. They were going to take this opportunity. 402 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: They've been pissed off since the last budget deal, and 403 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: they were going to take this opportunity to move with 404 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: the motion to vacate it was baked in the cake. 405 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: It was done. So now we're looking for a new speaker. Now. 406 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: Am I happy that Jim Jordan has stepped up as 407 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: a candidate. I think he's one of the best Republican 408 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: Congressmen in the country we have. I think he's one 409 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: of the most articulate, and I know he's one of 410 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: the hardest working. And I also know he's a man 411 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: of his word. I think he'll keep his word and 412 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: his promises, and I think he'll be able to create 413 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: great consensus. However, if he's going to take that job 414 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: and under the constant threat that one member at any 415 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: moment can have to bring the House to a standstill 416 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: with a motion of vacate, no, I don't think that's fair, 417 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: and I think that rule has to be changed, and 418 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: it's got to be made. Get twenty five, make it 419 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: thirty people. You just can't put the power in one 420 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: person like this. But I'll tell you right now that 421 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: that might be a hill that some people want to 422 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: die on. You know, I was surprised. The one thing 423 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: I will say about Gates today, you know he was 424 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: criticizing well, first, he criticized the temporary speaker because they're 425 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: they're they're not coming back into work until Tuesday. This 426 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: guy pro Tem Patrick McHenry, and you know he has 427 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: sharp criticism of him. However, there is a process here. 428 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: These guys do need to announce that they're running. They 429 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: do need to try and build consensus behind the they're build. 430 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: There need to be questions that are going to be 431 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: asked by the conference. Uh that are very very important. 432 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: I like that the Speaker pro tem through Speaker Pelosi 433 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: out of the office, that Kevin McCarthy allowed her to 434 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: stay in even though he didn't have to do it. 435 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: But then I really was a little amazed. You know, 436 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, you know, Gates is going scorched 437 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: earth here, because then he started mocking Congressman Jim Jordan's 438 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: assertion that House Republicans have accomplished much in the way 439 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: of oversight this year, characterizing their efforts as failure theater. 440 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: Now I've had this discussion with Matt Gates, and I 441 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: know where his head is on this, and his head is, well, 442 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: why haven't we If it was Don Jr. He would 443 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: have been subpoenaed, you know, fifteen times by now. There's 444 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: a methodology to all this there's got to be some 445 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 1: reason associated rather than emotion sometimes and the reality is 446 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: thanks to Jim Comer, and thanks to Jason Smith and 447 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, you know, we've learned a lot about the 448 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: Biden family syndicate. We've learned a lot about about the 449 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: weaponization of our Department of Justice. We've learned a lot 450 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: about our dual justice system. You know, we've learned a 451 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: lot about the Biden family syndicate. For example, we had 452 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: no idea. You know, we knew had said repeatedly as 453 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: a candidate and as a president, Oh, he never spoke 454 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: to his son, brother or anybody about their foreign business deals. 455 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: Now we know that he used to call into meetings 456 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: with Hunter and his foreign business partners. Now we know 457 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: he met with Hunter and their foreign business partners at 458 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: Cafe Milano. Now we know about all these shell corporations 459 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: that they used to funnel to tens and tens of 460 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: millions of dollars into that apparently, according to Comer, got 461 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: distributed to not one but nine Biden family members. They 462 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: have been unpeeling every layer of the onion. And by 463 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: the way, they have not had a cooperative a cooperative 464 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: Department of Justice or FBI or anybody for that matter. 465 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: They had to fight for their suspicious activity reports. They 466 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: had to fight to get the ten twenty three form. 467 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: They had to fight, you know, to get basic fundamental information. Now, 468 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: once you get the banking records of Jim Biden and 469 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: the banking records of Hunter Biden, now you got a 470 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: lot more to question him about. So there is a 471 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: process to getting that. We're going to get there. I 472 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: just had a hard time understanding why are we criticizing 473 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: and attacking Jim Jordan and investigations that have literally they're 474 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: bearing a lot of fruit. Apparently he was on a 475 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: podcast on Bannon's podcast today with Nancy Mace. By the way, 476 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: Nancy Mace was one of the people that voted that 477 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: that Bannon should be held in contempt, which is stupid 478 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: from my position, just like Peter Navarre was stupid. You know. 479 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: The thing is is either one of them could have 480 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: played the game. They could have gone in. They made 481 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: a choice to take a stand, and I kind of 482 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: respect people if they want to take a stand, But 483 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: they could have gone in and pled the fifth, walked 484 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: out of there and they would have no contempt problem. 485 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: So they did it, you know, as I'm sure they're 486 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: where protesting things, so you know, we've got to be 487 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: careful here. You know. Meanwhile, you got the Democrats are 488 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: destroying the country before our eyes are Joe Biden is 489 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: a cognitive mess, has no idea what day of the 490 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: week it is. We have a Democratic party that and 491 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: a congressman pulling an alarm seemingly on purpose, another Democratic 492 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: senator and dieted on bribery charges. A Democratic congressman carjacked 493 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: at gunpoint on nation's capital. You know. Then you've got 494 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom appointing of far left activists, not even from 495 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: his own state to the US Senate. I mean, that's laughable, 496 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: a high level Iranian spy ring. You've got an unholy 497 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: alliance that has emerged, a new access of evil with China, Russia, Iran, 498 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: and looks like even North Korea is going to be 499 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: a part of this. The national debt just jumps an 500 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: eye popping two hundred and seventy five billion in one day. 501 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: They want to give another two hundred billion dollars or 502 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: or one hundred billion dollars to Ukraine on top of 503 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: all the other moneies that they've given as Europe doesn't 504 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: lift a finger in comparison, and it's their continent that 505 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: needs the protection that not a member of NATO or 506 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: under no obligation to do it. And if America's got 507 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: to bear the brunt of the war, you can't have 508 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: a president that's not willing to fight to win the war. 509 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: So it would stop wasting our money and stop wasting 510 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: our time because that's not going to work. Or he 511 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: can't have cluster bombs. No, I'm gonna veto those MiGs. No, no, 512 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: Poland can't give MiGs to Zelenski. Well, why are we there? 513 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: Why are we pouring good money after bad Well, Hannity, 514 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: that money is a loan. It's not a loan. It's 515 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: like Hunter Biden getting, you know, five million dollars in 516 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: a forgivable uh no interest loan. It's one of those loans. 517 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: So my advice to Republicans is you stop with the retribution, 518 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: stop with the infighting. Jim Jordan, to me, would be 519 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: the perfect person to lead the Republicans, but he's got 520 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: to have the freedom to be him and can't live 521 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: every day with the threat of a motion to vacate 522 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: that'll shut down all action in the House because then 523 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: they'll truly look stupid after a point. And if they 524 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: can't agree on Jordan, if he's not the guy, and 525 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: they can't agree on Scalise, then they're gonna get blamed 526 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: for the chaos that is being created there, and every 527 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: one of them will go down on the same ship together. 528 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: They're either gonna succeed together or they're gonna fail together, 529 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: and there's not gonna be any middle ground. There's not 530 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: gonna be well, some people win and some people lose. No, 531 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: they're all gonna look dumb and they're all gonna look bad, 532 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: and it's all gonna suck, and then the house is 533 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: not gonna meaning the country is not gonna be better 534 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: off anyway. Eight hundred and nine point one sewn
