My voice has been going in and out 6 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: all day. It just you know, it just happens.

Funny story. 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: You want the funny story. So I did the last 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: time when I lost my voice or was losing my voice, and. 13 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: It just it just stuck with me, wouldn't go away. 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: And finally my doctor said, I want you to when's 15 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: the last time you had your vocal cords checked? And 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: I said never. He goes, how many years you've been 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: in radio? I'm like thirty four? He goes never. All right, 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: So my main doctor sends me to the doctor. The 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: guy turns out to be a guy that has taken 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: care of I won't name drop, but like all the 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: top singers, you would know the guy all the Metropolitan 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Opera singers in New York City, takes care of all 23 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: of them. And so he says, Okay, when's the last 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: time you had your vocal cords checked? And I said, 25 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: I've never had them checked. He just says, how long 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: have you been on RADY? You said thirty three? Four 27 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: years you've been on RADY? I said, yes, sir, And 28 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: he goes, and how many years on TV ten? He goes, 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I've ever met anybody like you. 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: He goes, you know, he refers to anybody that uses 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: their voice for their living. He goes, you're a vocal athlete. 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: You need to have your vocal cords checked. Anyway, he 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: checked him. I got to watch the video after he goes, 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: they're perfect. He goes, absolutely fine. He goes, I don't 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: even see any irritation. He goes, you'll be fine in 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: like three days. I just want you to use this 37 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: gargle with this garbage for three days and you'll be fine. 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. Garbage. At least I 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: didn't have to go on President Zone anyway. I digress. 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: We do have a Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, 41 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: we're going to get to some of his comments earlier. 42 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: We do have a disaster of a president. Now, Joe 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Biden comes out to speak as soon as the Republicans 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: in the House picked their speaker. I'm sure it was 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: just a mere coincidence that they timed it perfectly for 46 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: the moment that the speaker was going to address the 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: entire Congress. 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: His speech was actually amazing. 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going to play enough of it for 50 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: you that I think you'll think the same way. And 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people are asking art who is Mike Johnson? 52 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: What do we know about him? I'll get into that 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: in a second. But Joe Biden barely could get through 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: his press conference and he only took three questions, just three. 55 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: It was what was it a total of nine minutes? 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Nine to ten minutes too, very very short. They were 57 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: billing this as a big Joe's first press conference since 58 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: October seven, it's been his first meeting since the terrorist 59 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: attack on Israel. No, this guy never gives a real 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: press conference. He has no intention of ever given a 61 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: real press conference anyway. So let me just play the 62 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: three questions that he answered that he was asked and answered. 63 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: I'll play him in, you know, one after another, and 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: then we'll come back on the other side. 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: I'll give you my thoughts. 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 3: You've told Iran to quote be careful as your administration 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: tries to prevent the Israeli Hamas war from expanding into 68 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: a larger Middle East conflict. But should Americans be worried 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: that the war already is escalating? And after you answer 70 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: that question, I like one more follow up, please. 71 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 4: One or two more? Huh Joey. Look, we have had 72 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: troops in the region since nine to eleven to go 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: after Isis and prevent his for your re emergency and 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: both anyway in the region having nothing to do with 75 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 4: Israel at all. My warning to the Ayatola was that 76 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: if they continue to move against those troops, we will respond, 77 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: and he should be prepared. And there's nothing to do 78 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: with Israel. 79 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, your conversations with Prime Minister Netan Yahoo, who obviously 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: you've known for decades and you had a very emotional 81 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: trip there last week to Israel, have you sought assurances 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 3: from him that he will hold off on the ground 83 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: invasion into Gaza until the safe relief release of the 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: hostages can be assured. And of course those include ten 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: unaccounted four Americans. 86 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 4: No, what I have indicated to him is that if 87 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: that's possible to get these folks out safely, that's what 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 4: he should do. Is third decision. But I did not 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 4: demand it. I pointed out to him, if it's real, 90 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: it should be done. Thank you. 91 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: But are these hostages in jeopardy? If there is a 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: ground in man, if. 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: You want to make a speech now, look, obviously they're 94 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: in jeopardy. The question is whether or not there's any 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 4: way of getting them out. If you can get them, 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: how we should get them out? 97 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 5: After twenty two days, House Republicans just elected Mike Johnson 98 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 5: of Louisiana as the Speaker of the House. Johnson advocated 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 5: conspiracy theories about voting machines and a rigged election. In 100 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 5: twenty twenty, he encouraged his colleagues to join a lawsuit 101 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 5: to invalidate the results of four states. So, if you 102 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 5: win reelection in twenty twenty four, are you worried that 103 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 5: a Speaker Johnson would again attempt to overturn the election? 104 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 4: No? Why not? Because he can look just like I 105 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: was not worried that the last can I'd be able 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: to return the election. They have about sixty lawsuits and 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: all the way to the Supreme Court, and every time 108 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 4: they lost, I understand the Constitution. 109 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 5: In eighteen days since Hamas killed fourteen hundred Israelis, the 110 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 5: Hamas controlled Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed 111 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 5: over six thousand Palestinians, including twenty seven hundred children. You've 112 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 5: previously asked it in y'all, who to minimize civilian casualties? 113 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 5: Do these numbers say to you that he is ignoring 114 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 5: that message? 115 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: What they say to me is I have no notion 116 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 4: that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many 117 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 4: people are killed. I'm sure innocence have been killed, and 118 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 4: it's the price of book waging a war. I think 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 4: we should be incredibly careful. I think when not we 120 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: Israeli should be incredibly careful to be sure that they're 121 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: focusing on going after the folks that are propagating this 122 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 4: war against Israel, and it's against their interest when that 123 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: doesn't happen. But I have no confidence in the number 124 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 4: that the Palestinians. 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: You using no confidence? And why does it am I 126 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: the only one that's noticing? Why does he refuse to 127 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: say that Hamas is a terrorist organization? Am I the 128 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: only one that is noticing that? You know, we have 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: Hamas using doctors, nurses, staffers at their largest hospitals. 130 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: As human shields. 131 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: We had twenty four American troops wounded in a rambacked 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: trone strikes. 133 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: And he's not addressed. 134 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: That is not a press conference nine minutes which they 135 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: build this as a press conference? And why is he 136 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: getting away with not having to answer any questions? Basically, 137 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: how is that possible? 138 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 6: Can I make one odd observations? 139 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's not odd. I'm sure it's it. 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 6: I honestly only heard it when I just listened to 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: it again. In the beginning where Joe begins that first question, 142 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 6: he looks before he even answers the question and says, 143 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 6: only one or two more, right, that's it. So this 144 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 6: big production, that this is going to be his dual 145 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 6: press conference with Australia, the first since October seventh, he 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 6: literally is already looking for the end. It hasn't even started. 147 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 6: He hasn't even answered the first question. 148 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: I just sit here and I'm age. I get so 149 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: frustrated all of this. This is not an issue where 150 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: you need a lot of deep thought and more you 151 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: know about who is responsible for this, and if you're 152 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: worried about collateral damage, how many more weeks does Israel 153 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: have to wait, you know, for Joe Biden to be 154 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: saying I didn't demand assurance from net Yahoo to hold 155 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: off the ground invasion until hostages are released. He should 156 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: if possible, they're in tunnels. We know that from one 157 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: of the released hostages. And if you're really confident that 158 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: if you give enough time to a terrorist organization that 159 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: was beheading babies and killing children and teenagers and women 160 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: and raping them, then you're putting your confidence in the 161 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: wrong spot, because that's not going to work. 162 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: I just it drives me crazy. 163 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: But the official radio broadcaster of the US government, Voice 164 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: of America, they're now refusing to describe Hamas as a 165 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: terrorist organization, which at least so far has yet to 166 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: prompt any protests from the Biden administration. And they control 167 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: the Voice of America. Well, they're a terrorist organization and 168 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: they have in their charter destruction of Israel. One poll 169 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: shows seventy three percent of Americans want Biden to use 170 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: the Marines to rescue American hostages if they had actionable 171 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: intelligence I would say, you know, I love our guys 172 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: so much. If they could pull that sucker off, nobody 173 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: would be happier than me. 174 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: But they've got to have a location. 175 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: I tend to think that they're probably spread out throughout 176 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: Gaza and it's not going to be one location. There's 177 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: every hostage. I wish it was that way, but wishing 178 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't make it so. You know, and Hamas with 179 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: their as he they're just evil. I mean, you can't 180 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: describe any other way. And when is Joe going to 181 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: react to the twenty four US military personnel now wounded 182 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: last week after two American military bases in Iraq and 183 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: Syria were hit by drones. When are they going to 184 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: be held accountable? You know, when are we going to 185 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: When is there going to be accountability? Now that we 186 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: have a new speaker, congresswoman to leave doubling down again 187 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: in spite of worldwide intelligence and confirmation that Israel did 188 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: not bomb a hospital in Gaza, that the bomb that 189 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: landed next to the hospital in the parking lot that 190 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: destroyed the cars in the parking lot, but not all 191 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: of them, just a couple of them. That was that 192 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: was fired from inside a Gaza by the Islamic Jihad, 193 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: another terror organization funded by Iran, running their their proxy. 194 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: Wars as they usually do. 195 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: But you know, we have the Hamas Caucus, led by 196 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: Congresswoman to Leave, doubling down on this bogus Israeli bombing claim. 197 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable to me. 198 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: Anyway. 199 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: One thing in Florida that I noticed Governor DeSantis down 200 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: there is coordinating with the chancellor of the state university 201 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: system to crack down on student groups in the state 202 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: that they that say they have support for Hamas terrorism, 203 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, which possibly involves terminating the student chapters and 204 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: so spending school administrators. Well, I mean, at some point, 205 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: what do we call people that support terrorists? You know, 206 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: how would you feel after nine to eleven the language 207 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: that we've been hearing and from some of our most 208 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: prestigious universities and are prestigiously you know, tenured professors at 209 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: these institutions that you know, what if they were blaming 210 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: the United States or the idiot un secretary in general, 211 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: this didn't just happen in a vacuum. And now expressing 212 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: shock today that oh he was taken out of context. No, 213 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: he wasn't we played the context. No point going down 214 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: that road. But the point is, you know, this is 215 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: not an issue that requires deep thought. This is one 216 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: that requires simple moral clarity. There is right, there is wrong, 217 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: there is evil, and there is good. And the people 218 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: that were murdered by this terrorist organization, they have caused 219 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: all the harm, all the misery. They're the people that 220 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: have built this network of tunnels for the purpose of 221 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: capturing and killing innocent Israelis. They're the ones that were 222 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: supposed to use that money for infrastructure and hospitals and. 223 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: Schools, etc. But they didn't do any of this. 224 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Prime Minister NETANYAHUO from earlier said this is our darkest 225 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: hour and was thanking the Czech Prime Minister who was 226 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: with him. And I appreciate the fact that you are 227 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: standing here with us, and he went on to say, 228 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm very pleased to welcome you. The Czech Republic has 229 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: been very, very strongly supportive of Israel throughout good times 230 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: and dark times. This is our darkest hour, and I 231 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: appreciate the factor standing here. Your support is invaluable. I 232 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: welcome you to Israel. I always say standing with Israel. 233 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: There's only one thing better than that, and that is 234 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: standing in Israel and you're doing both. 235 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 2: It was a good line. It is. 236 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: It is a very very difficult time and the last 237 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: thing they need is outside forces, you know, telling them 238 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: what to do. Israel is now preparing the ground invasion, 239 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: according to Prime Minister net and Yahoo, we are preparing 240 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: the ground invasion of the Gaza strip and one of 241 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the clearest statements yet that this is now. I know 242 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: we've been saying it for a while, but you know, tactically, strategically, 243 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, we can say it all day, Oh let's 244 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: go into Gaza. But then they have to worry about 245 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: the complications if Hesbalah in the north starts a two 246 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: front war, then they got to worry about, you know, 247 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: rockets being fired from Syria. Now we have the houtis 248 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: they fired a rocket. By the way, Saudi Arabia intercepted 249 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: a missile fired by the Juti rebels in Yemen that 250 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: was headed for Israel. 251 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: They stopped it. 252 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: And then you have to worry about and take seriously 253 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: the threats of Iran that they will involve themselves. 254 00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: All right, so we're watching this close. 255 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you want to talk about 256 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: the new speaker, Mike Johnson. You know, I think I'm 257 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: just going to let his speech stand on its own 258 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: and I'll play it maybe after the news at the 259 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, because I'm sure most of you 260 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: were working didn't have an opportunity to hear it. And 261 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: to me, it was very impressive for a lot of reasons. 262 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to influence your decision on it, but 263 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: it's good that the People's House has yet opened again. 264 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: I think that's a good thing. 265 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 6: Right. 266 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: So a lot of you have a lot of questions. Sorry, 267 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: who is Mike Johnson the new Speaker of the House. 268 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to let Mike Johnson introduce himself to you. 269 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: He gave a really interesting speech. I thought it was smart. 270 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: The guy's a constitutional lawyer. His dad was a fireman 271 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: that I think became an assistant chief. He believes in 272 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: religious liberty, the right to life. Is a very conservative 273 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: voting record. Everybody in the Freedom Caucus that I taught, 274 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: they all voted for him today, and they all know 275 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: him like him. He's taken on very hard, difficult fights 276 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: over the years. So I'm hearing nothing but good things. 277 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: I just don't have that relationship with him that I've 278 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: had with other people. I still would have liked Jim Jordan, 279 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: but Hannity never gets his way. Nobody listens to Hannity, 280 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: and Hannay never gets his way in life. But anyway, 281 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: so we'll play that when we get back. We also 282 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: have coming up All Things Simple Man Bill O'Reilly will 283 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: get new King Rich's take on the New Speaker and 284 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: much more. 285 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: As we continue. 286 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 7: When news breaks, you get the inside story that no 287 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 7: one else has and the behind the scenes chatter that 288 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 7: the mainstream media doesn't even know about. 289 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show. 290 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: By twenty five to the top of the hour, eight 291 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to 292 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Look, I've been telling 293 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: you all about Pure Talk. It's a veteran owned company. 294 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: We have one hundred percent volunteer military in this country. 295 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: The people that raise that put their lives on the 296 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: line for our safety or community, and so Pure Talk 297 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: now they use the same cell towers, they use the 298 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: same five G network as the big carriers AT and T, Verizon, 299 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: T bobul and the average family for the exact same 300 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: service is saving close to one thousand dollars a year 301 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: and many families saved much more, but they also are 302 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: about giving back. And what they've realized is, especially because 303 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: of Bidenomics and this bad economy, is that all these 304 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: veterans you know, are accumulating. 305 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: All this debt. 306 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: So two weeks ago they announced that they want to 307 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: raise ten million dollars just for the purpose of alleviating 308 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: veterans debt. And the way they're doing it is they're 309 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: donating a portion of every person that makes the switch. 310 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: In other words, you are switching, you get in the 311 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: same service as the big carriers. You're saving a fortune, 312 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: and now a portion of that money is going to 313 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: alleviate debt for a veterans. I mean, it's just perfect. 314 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: After two weeks they're fifty three percent of the way there, 315 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: they've raised well over five million, and hopefully by the 316 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: end of this week or next week, and by the 317 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: time we get to Veterans Day, we'll have hit that goal. Anyway, 318 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: and you save money for the exact same service in 319 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: the process. It's just a win win, win win situation. 320 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: Right now, they have a plan where for twenty bucks 321 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: a month, you get unlimited talk, unlimited text, you have 322 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: more data than they were giving you what three weeks 323 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: ago end mobile hotspot twenty bucks a month. I think 324 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: any other carrier will give you that using the same 325 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: cell towers, same five G network. 326 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: No they won't. 327 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: Just i'le pound two to fifty, say the keyword save now, 328 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: pound two fifty, keywords save now, and do it now, 329 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: and you're helping our vets and saving money for the 330 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: same service at the same time. All right, So everyone's 331 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: asking about this Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. How 332 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: about we let you decide your first impression. We've gone 333 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: over some of his voting record, gone over. You know 334 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: where he stands. This guy has been very very pro life, 335 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: religious freedom, big on that too, other conservative issues. Here 336 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: is the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. 337 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 8: I want to say to the American people on behalf 338 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 8: of all of us here, we hear you. 339 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: We know the challenges you're facing. 340 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 8: We know that there's a lot going on in our 341 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 8: country domestically and abroad, and we are ready to get 342 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 8: to work again to solve those problems, and we will. 343 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 8: Our mission here is to serve you well, to restore 344 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 8: the people's faith in this house, in this great and 345 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 8: essential institution. 346 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: My dad it was to mention. My dad was a firefighter. 347 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 8: He was an assistant chief in the fire department in 348 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 8: my hometown of Shreeport, Louisiana, a little town in northwest Louisiana. 349 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 8: On September seventeenth, nineteen eighty four, when I was twelve 350 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 8: years old, he was critically burned and permanently disabled in 351 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 8: the line of duty. 352 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: All I ever wanted to be. 353 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 8: When I grew up was the chief of the fire 354 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 8: department in Shreeport. After the explosion on that fateful day, 355 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 8: he nearly died, and it was a long road back, 356 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 8: and it changed all of our life trajectories. I'm the 357 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 8: oldest of four kids, and my dad he lived with 358 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 8: pain all the rest of his life for decades more. 359 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 8: And I lost my dad to cancer three days before 360 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 8: I got elected to Congress, three days and he wanted 361 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 8: to be there at my election night so badly. On 362 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 8: the first college you graduate in my family, this was 363 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 8: a big deal to him. And so several weeks after that, 364 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 8: it was early twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen, it was my 365 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 8: freshman term, and it fell to me to be in 366 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 8: the rosterrum one night to serve here as speaker pro tem. 367 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 8: I thought that was a big deal until I figured 368 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 8: out that's what you do for freshmen late at night. 369 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 8: And I want to I think if my memory sirs, 370 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 8: Miss Jackson Lee was was winding down one of her long, 371 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 8: eloquent speeches, and not that I was not enraptured by 372 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 8: her speech, but I looked up, looked up at the 373 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 8: top of the chamber there, and I saw the face 374 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 8: of Moses staring down and I just felt in that 375 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 8: moment the weight of this place right the history that 376 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 8: is revered here in the future that we are called 377 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 8: to forge, and I really was just kind of almost 378 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 8: overwhelmed with emotion. It occurred to me in that moment. 379 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 8: It had been several weeks and I had not had 380 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 8: an opportunity yet to grieve my dad's passing, and I 381 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 8: just had this sense that that somehow he knew, and 382 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 8: I had tears come into my eyes and I was 383 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 8: standing here and I'm wiping them away, and then it 384 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 8: suddenly occurs to me. The late night Sea Span viewers 385 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 8: are going to think something's very wrong with the new 386 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 8: young congressman from Louisiana. 387 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: It wasn't. She was speech. 388 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I just knew in that moment that my dad, 389 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 8: my father would be would be proud of me, and 390 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 8: I felt that he was. And I think all of 391 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 8: our parents are proud of what we're called to do here. 392 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 8: I think all the American people at one time had 393 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 8: great pride in this Senstitute. 394 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: But right now. 395 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 8: That's in jeopardy, and we have a challenge before us 396 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 8: right now to rebuild and restore that trust. This is 397 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 8: a beautiful country. It's the beauty of America that allows 398 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 8: a firefighter's kid like me to come here and serve 399 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 8: in this sacred chamber where great men and women have 400 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 8: served before all of us, and strive together to build 401 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 8: and then preserve what Lincoln did refer to as the 402 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 8: last best hope of man on earth. We stand at 403 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 8: a very dangerous time. I'm stating the obvious. We all 404 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 8: know that the world is in turmoil, but a strong 405 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 8: America is good for the entire world. We are the 406 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 8: beacon of freedom, and we must preserve this grand experiment 407 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 8: and self governance it still is. We're only two hundred 408 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 8: and forty seven years into this grand experiment. We don't 409 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 8: know how long it will last, but we do know 410 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 8: that the Founders to take The Founders told us to 411 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 8: take good care of it. I want to tell all 412 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 8: my colleagues here when I told the Republicans in that 413 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 8: room last night, I don't believe there are any coincidences 414 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 8: in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the 415 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 8: Bible is very clear that God is the wises up 416 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 8: those in authority. 417 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: He raised up each of you, all of us, and. 418 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 8: I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one 419 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 8: of us to be brought here for this specific moment. 420 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: In this time. This is my belief. 421 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 8: I believe that each one of us has a huge 422 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 8: responsibility today to use the gifts that God has given us, 423 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 8: to serve the extraordinary people of this great country and 424 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 8: they deserve it, and to ensure that our replic remains 425 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 8: standing as the great beacon of light and hope and 426 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 8: freedom and a world that desperately needs it. It was 427 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty two, in nineteen sixty two that our 428 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 8: national motto, in God we Trust, was adorned above this rostrum. 429 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 8: And if you look at the little guide that they 430 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 8: give tourists and constituents who come and visit the house, 431 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 8: if you turn in there to about page fourteen. In 432 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 8: the middle of that guide, it tells you the history 433 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 8: of this and it says very simply, these words were 434 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 8: placed here above us. This motto was placed here as 435 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 8: a rebuke of the Cold War era philosophy of the 436 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 8: Soviet Union. That philosophy was Marxism and communism, which begins 437 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 8: with the premise that there. 438 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: Is no God. 439 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 8: This is a critical distinction that is also articulated in 440 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 8: our nation's birth certificate. We know the language well, the 441 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: famous second paragraph that we used to have children memorize 442 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 8: in school. And they don't do that so often anymore, 443 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 8: but they should. 444 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: GK. 445 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 8: Chesterson was the famous British philosopher and statesman, and he 446 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 8: said one time America is the only nation in the 447 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 8: world that is founded upon a creed. And he said 448 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 8: it's listed with almost theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence. 449 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: What is our creed? 450 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 8: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all 451 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 8: men are created equal, not born equal, created equal, and 452 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 8: they are endowed by the same inalienable rights, with the 453 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 8: same inalienable rights life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. That is 454 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 8: the creed that has animated our nation since its founding. 455 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 8: That has made us the great nation that we are, 456 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 8: and we're in a time of extraordinary crisis right now, 457 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 8: and the world needs us to be strong. They need 458 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 8: us to remember our creed and our admonition. Turmoil and 459 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 8: violence of rock the Middle East and Eastern Europe. We 460 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 8: all know what intentions continue to build in the Indo Pacific. 461 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 8: The country demands strong leadership of this body, and we 462 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 8: must not waver. Our nation's greatest ally in the Middle 463 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 8: East is under attack. The first bill that I'm going 464 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 8: to bring to this floor in just a little while, 465 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 8: we'll be in support of our dear friend Israel, and 466 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 8: we're overdue and getting that done. We're going to show 467 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 8: not only Israel but the entire world that the barbarism 468 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 8: of Hamas that we have all seen play out on 469 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 8: our television screens is wretched and wrong, and we're going 470 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 8: to stand for the good in that conflict. We have 471 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 8: a catastrophe at our southern border. The Senate in the 472 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 8: White House can no longer ignore the problem. From Texas 473 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 8: to New York, wave after wave of illegal migrants, or 474 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 8: stress in our communities to their breaking points. We know 475 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 8: that our streets are being flooded with fentanyl and all 476 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 8: of our communities, children and even adults are dying from it. 477 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 8: The status quo is unacceptable. Inaction is unacceptable, and we 478 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 8: must come together and address the broken border. We have 479 00:25:53,520 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 8: to do it. The skyrocketing cost of living is unsustainable, 480 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 8: and Americans should not have to worry about how they're 481 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 8: going to feed their family every week because they can't 482 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 8: afford their groceries anymore. Everybody in this room should think 483 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 8: about this. Here's the stats. Prices have increased over seventeen 484 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 8: percent in the last two years. Credit Card interest rates 485 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 8: are at the highest level in nearly three decades. In 486 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 8: mortgage rates are now at a peak we haven't seen 487 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 8: since two thousand and one. We have to bring relief 488 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 8: to the American people by raining in federal spending and 489 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 8: bringing down inflation. The greatest threat to our national security 490 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 8: is our nation's debts. And while we've been sitting in 491 00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 8: this room, that's right that the debt has crossed almost 492 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 8: thirty three point six trillion dollars and the time that 493 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 8: it's going to take me to deliver this speech will 494 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 8: go up another twenty million in debt. It's unsustainable. We 495 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 8: have to get the country back on track now. We 496 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 8: know this is not going to be an easy task 497 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 8: and tough decisions will have to be made, but the 498 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 8: consequences if we don't act now are unbearable. We have 499 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 8: a duty to the American people to explain this to 500 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 8: them so they understand it well. And we are going 501 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 8: to establish a bipartisan Debt Commission to begin working on 502 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 8: this crisis immediately. Immediately. We all know that we also 503 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 8: live in a time of bitter partisanship. It was noted 504 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 8: and it's been on display here today. When our people 505 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 8: are losing their faith in government, when they're losing sight 506 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 8: of the principles that made us the greatest nation in 507 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 8: the history of the world, I think we got to 508 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 8: be mindful of that. 509 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: We're going to fight. 510 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 8: We're going to fight vigorously over our core principles because 511 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 8: there are odds a lot of times now in this 512 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 8: modern era, we have to sacrifice sometimes our preferences because 513 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 8: that's what's necessary in a legislative body. But we will 514 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 8: defend our core principles to the end. And it's farewell address, 515 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 8: Thank you, and his farewell addressed, President Reagan explained the 516 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 8: secret of his rapport with people, and I like to 517 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 8: paraphrase his explanation, all the time, he said, you know, 518 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 8: they call me the great communicator, but I really wasn't that, 519 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 8: he said, I was just communicating great things, and that 520 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 8: the same great things that they've got in our nation 521 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 8: since its founding. What are those great things? I call 522 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 8: them the seven core principles of Conservatives. Concede to you all. 523 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 8: I think it's really quintessentially, the core principles of our nation. 524 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 8: I boil them down to individual freedom, limited government, the 525 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 8: rule of law, peace, their strength, fiscal responsibility, free markets, 526 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 8: and human dignity. Those are the foundations that made us 527 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 8: the extraordinary nation that we are. And you and I 528 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 8: today are the stewards of those principles, the things that 529 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 8: have made us the freest, most powerful, most successful nation 530 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 8: in the history of the world, the things that have 531 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 8: made us truly exceptional. In this time of great crisis, 532 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 8: it is our duty to work together, as previous generations 533 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 8: of great leaders have, to face these great challenges and 534 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 8: solve these great problems. I will conclude with this. The 535 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 8: job of the Speaker of the House is to serve 536 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 8: the whole body, and I will.
