1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: If Kevin McCarthy is the Speaker of the House and 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: we don't have an ability to ensure that there is 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: an oomph behind the agenda and energy behind our oversight, 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: that the committee sigmons don't mean that much anyway. We 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: had a deal that was not a selfish deal in 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: any way for Kevin McCarthy to get him the gavel 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: on the first ballot, and he eagerly dismissed us. I 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: will always fight to put the American people first, not 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: a few individuals that want something for themselves. Freedom is 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: back in style. Welcome to the Revolution, coming to y'all. 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: Sent you a council New Sean Hannity Show, Mary, I'm 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: the scenes. Information on breaking news and more bold inspired 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: solutions for America. Coming up next our final news round 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: up and information overload, Our right new round Up Information 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: Overload Hour eight hundred and nine for one Sean, If 16 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. I 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: mentioned this a little bit earlier, bothers me, not even 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: in the least clearly some unknown author nobody I've ever 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: heard of. At Red State. Sean Hannity embarrasses himself in 20 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: an attempted takedown of Lauren Bolbert Well, first off, and 21 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: I said it during the interview. I like Lauren Boulbert. 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: I supported her reelection. That's a side note. But she 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: tweeted out or said yesterday to President Trump, he said, 24 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: the President needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you 25 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: don't have the votes. It's time to withdraw. And I said, 26 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: all right, congresswoman, using your logic, going by your own 27 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: math that you're using against Kevin McCarthy, you're only twenty 28 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: twenty one people. So if Kevin McCarthy, who has two 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: hundred or over two hundred people on his side, and 30 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: you have twenty twenty one people on your side, that 31 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: means you don't have the votes by a much bigger margin. 32 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you withdraw first? And she kind of hemmed 33 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: in hard and didn't really want to answer the question anyway, 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: Long story short, it showed up as the lead story 35 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: on the View today. Apparently I didn't see it. I 36 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: didn't even hear it. I just read about it. I 37 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: laughed about it, and here is Linda, But I was 38 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: I knew everybody in the Trump White House. I never 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: knew or remembered Alyssa Farrer Griffin do you, because I 40 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: didn't I know her from her previous days on the hill. Okay, 41 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: I never I never knew her in the Trump White House. 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: Have you ever been on our show that you recall? No, 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: she was, she worked in a congressman's office. All right, 44 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: So then she goes, so let me play for your 45 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: big boo hoo to Sean Hannity. Listen to this. I 46 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't have a big boo hoo to Sean Hannity. Make 47 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Fox News and the right wing media created Lauren Bents right, 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: all right, you know you can't make any sense. So 49 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: this here to sort through all of it is our 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: friend Joe Concha is with us. Joe, glad you checked in. 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: How are you, my friend? I'm doing well. It's been 52 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: a very interesting week. Back to work right since Tuesday. 53 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: You'd think, ah, yeah, it's it's reminds me of you 54 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: know that's seen an animal house where Kevin Bacon has 55 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: been dover and so thank you sir, might have another 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: It's like, how many boats are we gonna do here 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: and see the same outcome? It's incredible. But that clip 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you just played, you know, of the GalF and the view. 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Remember she was hired to play the conservative Sean right, 60 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: just like Anna Nabarro, who only endorsed Joe Biden for president, 61 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: endorsed Andrew Gillim for governor against Ron De Santis a 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and she's a Floridian. That's the thing, Like, 63 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: it's funny who the conservatives are on there. Basically, your 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: LinkedIn page, your resume only has to say I am 65 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: vitriolic against the former president and Trump and therefore, can 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: I have the job please? And half the time you 67 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: will be considered based on those consideration, since it's the 68 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: whole industry out there of conservatives on CNN and MSNBC. 69 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: CNN just hired Adam Kinsinger, who's been auditioning for that 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: job for two years and five minutes after he leads Congress. 71 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Not only is he a contributor, so I'm like I 72 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: am at Fox, He's a senior contributor, so you know, 73 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: he's really important. But yeah, that's that's the thing. Now, 74 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: if you're anti by the way, let me give you. 75 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Let me give you props here because on October. In 76 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: October of twenty twenty one, you tweeted out odds of 77 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: leaving office signs with CNN four to five signs with NB, 78 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: MSN DNC even you called this in October of twenty 79 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: twenty one, former Republican Congressman Adam Kinsinger. I am pleased 80 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: to welcome him to CNN. He's appearing tonight for the 81 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: first time in his new role, which is senior political 82 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: commentator and congressman. We really are thrilled to have you 83 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: on board, so welcome, welcome. People have seen you over 84 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: the past, of course couple of years of the January 85 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: sixth Committee, and we're so glad to have you on board. 86 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: So it's great to be on the team. By the way, 87 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: Thank you. By the way, does that mean that Liz 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: Cheney now goes to msd NC. No, Liz Cheney announces 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: she's running for president. But if she doesn't announce that 90 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: she's running for president, then she'll go to MSNBC or CNN. 91 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: And when she runs for president, and it's probably it's 92 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: almost a certainty that she will, she will get maybe 93 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, quote Animal House again. Remember Dean Warmer 94 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: when he's giving John Belushi his great point average and 95 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: he says zero point zero. She'll get zero point zero support, 96 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: but get ten times the coverage of any candidate not 97 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: named Trump or Desantist because she's a hero to everybody 98 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: in the medium. Has a ninety seven percent approval rating there, 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, look, she was considered as one 100 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: of Times Persons of the Year. That's all you need 101 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: to know. So yeah, it's either MSNBC, CNN or run 102 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: for president. Either way, Liz Cheney isn't going away from 103 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: our TV screens anytime soon. So I did get some 104 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I think fair or legitimate criticism last night because what 105 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: I did have Lauren bolboardon and again, I'll tend to 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: agree with most of her views. I like her. I 107 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with her. We're allowed to disagree. 108 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: My frustration came when she wouldn't answer the question based 109 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: on her use of math. You know, the president, meaning 110 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: President Trump, needs to tell Kevin McCarthy, sir, you don't 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: have the vote, so it's time to withdraw. And I said, 112 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: if we're going to use your math, you have twenty 113 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: twenty one people, why don't you withdraw? And she didn't 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: want to answer the question, so it led to more 115 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: interruption than I would normally like. But you know, I 116 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: only have a limited time, as you know, on TV, 117 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: and I don't have time to let somebody FILIBUSTERR not 118 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: answer a question. Yeah, I mean the average segment is 119 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: six seven eight minutes, right, And when you keep asking 120 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: the same question over and over, you don't get an answer. Hey, 121 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: that made for good television, and you're you're going to 122 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: hold her to account. And the thing is with the 123 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: mac Gates is and a Laren Bobberts to the world, 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: I just don't see again specifically, what I would ask 125 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: her is what needs to be done in order for 126 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: you to vote for Kevin McCarthy's House speaker. With Matt Gates, 127 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: you get the feeling, for example, that you no matter 128 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: what McCarthy does or acquiesces on him, he's acquiesced on 129 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot that he's never going to vote for him. 130 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: But because now it's it's personal, it's based on personal animosity, 131 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: not so much a procedure or policy here. And he 132 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: just voted for Donald Trump as Speaker of the House 133 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: today on the House floor and Matt Gates did so 134 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: that this is all about performance art and all about 135 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: clicks and all about getting more Twitter followers, I suppose 136 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: with Gates, but it doesn't seem like we have too 137 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: many serious people there. And all I know is Ronald 138 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: Reagan today would be called the biggest rhino in the 139 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: Republican Party because he had the audacity to have a 140 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: drink with Tippo O'Neill, who was obviously in charge of 141 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: the House in the time as a Speaker of the House, 142 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: and he actually compromised. And now that's a big no no. 143 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: And if you remotely do anything like that, like McCarthy 144 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: probably would, then you're considered the enemy. And that's not 145 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: the way things work in Washington. I know you've got 146 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: to stick to your principles, but at times you do 147 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: have to give a little to get a little. And 148 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: it seems that these twenty are willing to give anything 149 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: they want McCarthy out. The problem is they don't offer 150 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: any solutions as far as who they want and what 151 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: they want. More importantly, and McCarthy gave four major concessions 152 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: on the motion to vacate. He went to a low 153 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: level of five. Now we reduced it to one member, 154 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: we could force a vote to oust him instead of five, 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: which I think is nuts, but okay, he agreed to it. 156 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: He gave more House Freedom Caucus members put him on 157 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: the Rules Committee gave him two more seats. He pledged 158 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: the whole votes on lawmaker term limits and Board of 159 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: Security bills, and major changes to the appropriation process to 160 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: prevent another omnibus like what happened in the Senate from 161 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: ever happening again. Those are major concessions. My argument is 162 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: very simple. With the motion to vacate, you can at 163 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: any time be call for a vote now to try 164 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: to get rid of Kevin MacCarthy if he doesn't keep 165 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: his speakers. But my bigger argument Joe is everything is 166 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: baked in cement here. He's committed to all of the 167 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: the investigations that every conservative has wanted. He's also committed 168 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to the commitments to America that he ran on about 169 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: our borders, about our economy, about a future built on freedom, 170 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: about energy, about crime, you name it. It's all there 171 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: in his agenda that he laid out for the election. 172 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, the House is the only body 173 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: that had two consecutive elections where they have picked up 174 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: seats points and you're right, it's all on paper in 175 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: terms of what he has promised to do when he 176 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: goes in. So, yeah, if you're conservative, if you look 177 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: at this and you say, Okay, these are all the 178 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: things that we want to accomplish. Yet again, I think 179 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: it goes back to the whole personal animosity part about 180 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: all this. But in the end, if you're Kevin McCarthy, Sean, 181 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: I hate to answer your question with a question, do 182 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: you even want this job now at this point? Considering no, 183 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody should want that job. It's balo 184 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: gabble at this point. Right, it's not the same You're 185 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: being held hosted by about four or five people who 186 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: could decide your agenda. I'm not saying it's like Mansion 187 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: in Cinema, but Mansion Cinema had tremendous power in the 188 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: Senate because they knew that anything that had to be 189 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: passed had to go through them, and it came down 190 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: to those two folks for the most part, and they 191 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: did resist. Here, McCarthy's going to run through the same 192 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: problem in the House, except you could expand that number 193 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: by it maybe two, three, four times. And if that's 194 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: going to be the case, then he's gonna be held 195 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: hostage on everything. If I'm in my I would you know, 196 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: maybe back out at this point and say, all right, 197 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: Steve Scalise take it away. Seriously, I don't even know 198 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: if Scalise could get the votes. I don't know if 199 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan could get the votes. I don't know if 200 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: anybody at this point that's going to be able to 201 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: get enough people to support them. What I'm afraid of, 202 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: and I know it's been floated out there, is that 203 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: they do what they did back I guess one hundred 204 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: years ago, and make it a simple majority vote. However, 205 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: if five Republicans vote present, guess what, Hakeem Jeffries would 206 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: be the speaker now, that can't happen under any circumstances. 207 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: That would be a nightmare of nightmare on Elm Street 208 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: scenario for Republicans if that ever happened. And the thing is, 209 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: you could almost see Matt Gates right, I keep quoting movies. 210 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you know in one of the Christian 211 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: Bale Batman, Heath Ledger played Joker and at one point 212 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: that the guy, it's being explained to Batman like this 213 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: guy isn't about the money. And at one point the 214 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: person says, some people just want to watch the world burn, 215 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, And with Gates it's almost like he's willing 216 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: to burn down everything just to make a point, and 217 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: at some point you got to say, look, this is 218 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: not what's best for the party or for the country. 219 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: But with Gates, I don't know if he even fares anymore. 220 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: All Right, quick break, welcome back, more with Joe Kanscha 221 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: than your calls eight hundred nine one Sean. Do you 222 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: think cooler and more rational heads will prevail today? Yeah, 223 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think so. I think for some people. 224 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is there are some people who, 225 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: in their estimation, there's no way they're going to be 226 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: able to support Kevin McCarthy. And some of the people 227 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: who you know, they have been willing to get behind 228 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy at some point, maybe the week before or 229 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: the day before, and for a few people, maybe even 230 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: the morning of that first vote on January third, kind 231 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: of hardened up to say no, there's no way they're 232 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: going to support Kevin McCarthy. The tough part is, I 233 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: think the number that will never vote for Kevin McCarthy 234 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: is more is more than four. All Right, we continue 235 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: with media expert extraordinaire Joe Concha is with us. Look, 236 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: I've known mac Gates a long time. I know he 237 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: has strong feelings about this, But I gotta believe in 238 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: every one of these Republicans that there is a tipping 239 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: point where they understand that they've got to put the 240 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: country and every Republican in every district ahead of whatever 241 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: else they want. Now, he even made the comment that 242 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: Kevin might be the speaker and he's going to be 243 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: in a strait jacket. I would argue Kevin already is 244 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: in the straight jacket. I mean, emotion to vacate is 245 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: emotion to vacate if he doesn't stick to the stated agenda, 246 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: and I have every confidence that he will because he's 247 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: he's locked in at this point, and to try to 248 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: try to reason with people on the other side right 249 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: now is just ineffective. It's like they can't hear you. 250 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: They don't want to hear you. I hear no evil, 251 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: see no evil. You know, they just don't want to 252 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: They don't want to hear an intelligent argument of common 253 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: sense is nothing McCarthy has the power to do that 254 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: they could not take retribution on. Yeah, I think the 255 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: problem is now, as in this public embarrassment that's that's 256 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: happening with Kevin McCarthy right now. You know, it loses 257 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: an eighth vote loses a ninth vote. It's just by 258 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: the time he either if he does somehow get there, 259 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: if the Gates is of the world and Lauren Bobberts 260 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: of the world change their mind, He's very weakened at 261 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: that point, both within his party and the way the 262 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: Democrats see this. So this is not the way that 263 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: people thought things would go after Republicans took the House 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: two months ago. That's certainly for sure. But if they 265 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: want a bigger majority, this all wouldn't be happening. Sean, 266 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: what do you think the answer is at this point? 267 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: What do you think the change? What do you think 268 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: tips of balancing this? I think it's McCarthy says, held 269 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: back Scalise. I don't see any other I don't see 270 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: any other scenario, to be honest with you. And what 271 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: makes you think that Scalise would get the votes, because 272 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: then I guess people want to get this over with 273 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: And if McCarthy says he's on board with it, then 274 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: all the McCarthy people go along, and obviously that the 275 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: Gates and Bobberts would support him over and McCarthy and 276 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: then that would be the end of it. Again, these 277 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: aren't you know the best scenarios in the world if 278 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: you're a Republican, but you try to work this out, 279 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: you try to play it out, and you don't see 280 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: any scenario where there's a happy ending for Republicans here 281 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: where you have a strong House Speaker who can move 282 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: ahead with all the investigations and agendas that have been 283 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: laid out before him. Well, I'd like that to get 284 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: move as quickly as possible. But it is interesting. As 285 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: powerful as the squad was, they never pulled this on 286 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: anti Pelosi. What does that tell you. Well, they would 287 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: vote against Pelosi at times, but that's when they knew 288 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: that Pelosi already had the vote, so it was a 289 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: show vote, right, It tells you that, boy, they are 290 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: unified on the Democratic side. But I guess maybe the 291 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: bright side, if you're looking for anything in this, is 292 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: that maybe it's not good to be completely unified on 293 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: everything the way the Democrats are. That's North Korea, right, 294 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: that's China. They're the ones who vote one hundred percent 295 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: to zero on things. So at least it's good to 296 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: see this sort of debate happening. That's democracy, as messy 297 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: as they say. But at some point you have to 298 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: put your cards in the stable and say, Okay, I 299 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: think I got everything I wanted at this spot, and 300 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: let's move on to the next hand. Right now, it 301 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: appears that that's not going to be happening anytime soon. Listen, 302 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm not in a state of panic, as I hear 303 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: some other Republicans are. I agree with you, or tend 304 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: to agree with you, But there's going to be a 305 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: limit to the patience of the American people on this 306 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: and I think they're getting very close now, and when 307 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: that moment comes and those phones are going to be 308 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: ringing and singing like never before. Joe cons a great prediction. 309 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: I gotta give it to you. You predicted in October 310 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, Adam Kinziger would in fact sign 311 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: with either MSDNC or CNN. In fact, he signed with 312 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: fake news CNN. He fits in perfectly there anyway. Thanks 313 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: for being with us, sir. I also predict the Jets 314 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: will go to the playoffs in October twenty twenty two. 315 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: So sometimes these things go sideways. Sean, I just want 316 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: to you know here, you could have left on a 317 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: good note. You have to trash yourself.

Telling me friend Sean Hannity sent you, Linda, 342 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: you might not know this the out in California, they 343 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: just had elected to their state Assembly a Democrat who 344 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: publicly favors teaching children how to get sex change operations 345 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: while keeping their plans to transition a secret from their parents. 346 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: Guy's name is rich Chavez Zaburr z bu r. I 347 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: don't know how to say it, anyway, longtime Democratic activist, 348 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: and anyway, he's led a radical group that work to 349 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: make California haven for kids that wanted sex change operations 350 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: without parental consent. Now, how why is it? What arrogance? 351 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: What profound arrogance to think that they in a position 352 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: of a school board or a teacher or a legislator, 353 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: that they think that they can just override the values 354 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: and the will of parents in terms of raising their children. 355 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: The way they see fit is breathtaking to me. Is 356 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: this really where society is going? Is this really now 357 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: the new Democratic Party? But I think if we're being honest, 358 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 1: all things equal. I don't know, Chavez, but I'm just 359 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: going to go out on a limb and say that, 360 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, anybody who wants to sexualize children and hideer 361 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: from their parents, we used to call them pedophiles, you know, 362 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: That's what we call them back in the day. If 363 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: they said, hey, don't tell your parents. It's I think 364 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: it's a little different. Pedophilia doesn't have to do with 365 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: sexual activity, but well, it deals with sexual abuse. But 366 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, if you're dealing with a small child 367 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: and you're trying to convert them from who they are, 368 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: or overpower them, or make them do something that they 369 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't even otherwise even be thinking about if it wasn't 370 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: for you getting in their face about it, because typically 371 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: kids in the first, second, third, fourth grade are not 372 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: thinking about their gender transition needs. I mean, I'm just 373 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: going out on a limb being a parent. In other news, 374 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court has now been asked to intervene 375 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: in the legal battle over New York States concealed carry law. 376 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: The Attorney General of New York is asking the US 377 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: Supreme Court to allow the states concealed carry law to 378 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: stay in effect. It is the latest in a string 379 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: of legal motion surrounding law since it went into effect 380 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: in September. This request coming after a lawyer for the 381 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: gun owner challenging the new state law asked the Supreme 382 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: Court to step in last month. We'll see what happens there. 383 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier, Joyless bejar ripping heterosexual men for supporting 384 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: tackle football. You can't make half this stuff up, but 385 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: it's all true. What else do we have out there? Oh? 386 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: Can I just make a comment about the concealed carry 387 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: by the way, You know, people who get their guns legally, 388 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: people who actually go through the process. It is me 389 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: like you. I mean, I can remember the first time, 390 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: trying to remember when when we started that. It might 391 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: have been decades, like a decade ago, like over ten 392 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: years ago, but you wanted to get a concealed carry 393 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: because the amount of death threats we were getting. And 394 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: I remember talking to the NYPD and the Detective's office 395 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, yeah, you know, you need like 396 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: a thousand and two thousand death threats. And I was 397 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: like what, I couldn't eat like fly right in New York. 398 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: I reached the threshold, right, And I was like Oh, 399 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: that's no problem. I can get that for way tomorrow. 400 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: That's not that's not a problem. And the guy laughed 401 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, it's not funny. I'm serious. But 402 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: for the average person, you know, and we say this 403 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: a lot when we talked to our various kind of 404 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: experts that we have on and John Lotte being one 405 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: of them, you know, more Guns Less Crime, and he's 406 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: been like his fifth version of that book. But you know, 407 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: statistically right and unlike joyless by heart. You know, we 408 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: give our sources and the polls and all that we 409 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: take from people who are defending themselves, defending their homes 410 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: or you know, are able to kill an intruder or whatever. 411 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: You know, these are the people that are you know, 412 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: behaving properly with their guns, have them in the safe. 413 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: You know, the people that are out there in Chicago 414 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: that are killing each other every single weekend, or in 415 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: Philly every single weekend, or New York City. These are 416 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: illegal guns. Illegal guns are all over the place, and 417 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: they come from our border. I mean, just ask anybody 418 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: who works in the ATF. Well, this is the same 419 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: New York State, as we've been saying on a daily basis, 420 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: has a new law that went out into effect this week, 421 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: which is that you can you can put in your 422 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: compost pile grandma, your mom, your dad, and a dead body. 423 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: You can use it for compost. Now, they do have 424 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: a little process with it, and you have to follow 425 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: it after thirty days. You know, you put it in 426 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,719 Speaker 1: one pile and then in thirty days you move it 427 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: to the other pile. So imagine your mom and dad 428 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: drop dead, or god forbid, grandma and grandpa drop dead. 429 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna put them in your compost pile, and even 430 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: their bones will be put in there, and then you'll 431 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: use it next summer. What to grow your crops you 432 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: have a small garden, or grow your flowers. We'll just 433 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: use mom and Dad's ashes to get there. Unstievable, I'll 434 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: tell you right now, and I'm gonna say this, and 435 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna be surprised if somebody writes in their will 436 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: that they want to be cremated, or they want to 437 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: be composted, or they want to be putting in a 438 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: big box or set out seat, whatever it is. That's fine, 439 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: that's your business. But if I was to buy a 440 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: house and you buried your grandma in the backyard, and 441 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: you got beautiful tomatoes. I'm telling you right now that 442 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: should be in the disclosure form when you buy that house. 443 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to line item that says, 444 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: by the way, I used dead bodies to make that garden. 445 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how good a deal you might get 446 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: on the house that house. I'm just putting it out there. 447 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: You just you know, these are discussions. I never thought 448 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: we'd discuss this program, whether or not in Congress, that 449 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: there would be a discussion about whether or not biological 450 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: men can have children to bear them. And yet this 451 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: is now where we are. All right, let's get to 452 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: our falls. We have a lot of frustrated people out there, 453 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: and old people are upset. Roger Georgia, how are you 454 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: glad you called? Sir? Happy New Year. I'm doing well, Sean, 455 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: how are you. I'm good, my friend. Yeah, this this 456 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: whole process has been very frustrating. I mean, I've been 457 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: since i've been an adult, I've been a Republican. My 458 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: parents grew up diehard Democrats, and when I got old 459 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: enough to think, I decided I don't like this, and 460 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: watching this fiasco of the last few days, to the 461 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: point even AOC makes sense. Sometimes I'm like, it makes 462 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: me think. I mean, and I heard on your show 463 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: and Laura Ingham's the other day, it's like, what's the 464 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: end game? And I use this example. I'm setting into 465 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: gas station right now, drive, getting ready to drive, and 466 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: if I need gas, my car's on empty. I've got 467 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: either fill up at this gas station or walk one 468 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: hundred miles. I've got to go. I've got to have 469 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: an alternative. And it doesn't seem like they've got an 470 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: alternative if they like McCarthy or that's their opinion. But 471 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: as you said on your show last night, two hundred 472 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: outweighs twenty. And then Herd new Gamers says, I mean, 473 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: what's the endgame? Should some of this not being in 474 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: negotiations prior to the Congress taken out? I mean, listen, 475 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: I have the I have the text messages I sent 476 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: to certain people in December, long before January third, telling 477 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: them I actually said, this is going to be a 478 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: shift show if you don't work this out now. And 479 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: I advise them, I said, get in a room, check 480 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: your egos at the door, check your phones at the door, 481 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: and hammer out an agreement so you're prepared on day 482 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: one to serve the American people. I said it to 483 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: many of the people involved. I'm not going to share 484 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: who I shared that with. But I saw this coming, 485 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: and sure enough, now we're living it, it'll end. I'm 486 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: not worried about it ending, but it was all unnecessary, 487 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: an unforced era of a pretty high magnitude to me. 488 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: But Sean, my biggest fear is two years from now 489 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: we've got a presidential election. Is this going to be 490 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: the campaign of Congress, Senate? President? Is they the Republicans 491 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: are dysfunctional? Look at what they did? They? I mean, 492 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: we need not only these next two years, we need 493 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: to retake the Senate and the presidency in two years. 494 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: If I were a Democratic strategist, I'd be keeping the 495 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: track of this and I'd be using it. I bet 496 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: every dollar I have that The issues that will drive 497 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election we don't know yet now 498 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: do I think it certainly will be the economy. Peace 499 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: and prosperity are always on the ballot. It'll be security, 500 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: it'll be the economy. It'll be a lot of issues. 501 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: But it's too early to tell, and we just came 502 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: out of an election. I'm not even ready to talk 503 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty four election for six months and 504 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: that'll take on a life of its own. It's appropriate time. 505 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: But hang in there. It's this will get resolved, maybe 506 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: a lot longer than we want, but hang in there. 507 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: It'll it'll happen. It has to. Good call my friend, 508 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: God bless you, Jim in Michigan. What's up, Jim? How 509 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: are you? Sir? Hey Sellen, thanks for letting me call in. Um. 510 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: I see Stabenau is retiring. That's a good Uh, that's 511 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: good news. Yeah. Yeah, she's my age seventy two, so 512 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: God bless she's ready. Um. But at least she's figured 513 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: that out. And some other people have it, like Joe Biden. 514 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: But anyway, I want to take a whole different slant 515 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: on this. Listening to you and in the media, I 516 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: think I don't see anybody really getting to what's really 517 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: going on. Yes, I'm in favor of what's going on. 518 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm not frustrated about it. I like the way it works. 519 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: This is democracy, what's happening. And this is where my 520 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: point is, is that these guys want to change fundamentally 521 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: the way the rules of Congress work. A guy a 522 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: freshman senator has no chance. You might as well just 523 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: stay home. He can't put up an amendment, Yeah, he can't. 524 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: They can't propose them. You can't put amendment on a whore. 525 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: Nothing goes to the floor unless the powers that be 526 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: already know they're going to get their vote. And that's wrong. 527 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm old, I remember because they've had a few more 528 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: birthdays than you. Back in the fifties, at Lee Stevens 529 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: and John Kennedy, those presidential fights, they'd go to four 530 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: of their conventions and the individual delegates could fight out. 531 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: The party platforms were argued out in the open, and 532 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: they voted on things individual planks, one at a time, 533 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: and that empowered the everyday delegate. So the everyday congressman 534 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 1: has no power today. So these guys finally are standing up. 535 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: I think they're heroes. They're finally standing up and say 536 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: we want these rule changes. And McCarthy's giving them to them, 537 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: bit by bit by bit. But I think he's pretty 538 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: much given in on all of it at this point. Yes, 539 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: he probably has, but that's not the point anymore, because 540 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: now because he fought so hard to not give it 541 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: to them, and he came now it's going to be 542 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: about anger, and it's going to be personal. No no, no, no, 543 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: no no. He can't be the one. It's not in 544 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: his heart what he agreed to, So he can't be 545 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: my leader. Hang on one second. If he if you 546 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: fought hard for let's say, the motion to vacate, and 547 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: at first it was you'd need five members, and as 548 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: of last night, it came down to one member Freedom 549 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: Caucus members. Two seats were added on the House Rules 550 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: Committee that addresses a lot of what you're concerned about, 551 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: the pledge to whole votes on term limits and Board 552 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: of Security bills, and major changes to the appropriation process 553 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: to prevent you know, another omnibus by allowing floor amendments 554 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: offered by any lawmaker. You just mentioned that. So all 555 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: of that's been agreed to. So now that now that 556 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: they finally have hammered out at the agreement part of it, now, okay, 557 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: we still don't want you. That sounds then why did 558 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: you negotiate with him if you never were going to 559 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: support him even if you got what you wanted, Why 560 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: did you even why did you even sit down and 561 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: negotiate the fact that he had to fight so hard 562 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: to not give it to them. That's why they don't 563 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: trust him. I wouldn't trust him. But there's some practicality 564 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: to all of this. Understand if one member on any 565 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: given day wakes up in a bad mood and doesn't 566 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: like his hairstyle, they can move forward at the motion 567 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: of vacate and all other business stops. I mean, see 568 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: what I'm looking at is maybe I'm looking at it 569 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: differently than you, and I don't want to be repetitive here, 570 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: but everything is pretty much locked and cement and I 571 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: don't see any disagreement on either side as it relates 572 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: to what is most important. And what's most important are 573 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: the investigations that need to take place, and the next 574 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: most important thing is the agenda items that Kevin has 575 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: committed to in writing. It's all the American First Agenda. 576 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: So if we get to this point where we're now 577 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: in agreement and then you say, you know what, I 578 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: still don't want you at that point, it's that to me, 579 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: that's negotiating in bad faith? Am I wrong? I don't 580 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: think so. I think that because they had to negotiate 581 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: so hard they lost faith in him and you. I 582 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: have no faith that we're going to have a Jim 583 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: Jordan on judiciary come up with all these things. That's 584 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: all right, that's that Jim listen. I talked to Jim 585 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: Jordan every day this week, and I'm telling you they 586 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: will be. He has no restrictions on his ability to investigate, 587 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: none whatsoever. I would tell you if he did. But 588 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: guess what Kevin McCarthy can decide. But nope, I'm not 589 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: bringing it to the floor. That's too much power. And 590 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: that's what has been happening. But I just but I 591 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: just four. I just got done telling you that Flora 592 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: amendments can be offered by any lawmaker has been agreed to. 593 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: I just want somebody that really believe those points in 594 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: their hearts. It doesn't matter if you believe it, because 595 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: that's going to be in writing. I know. And here's 596 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: the thing. I've been here. So in other words, you 597 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: have your insurance, You have an insurance policy, and you're 598 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: dismissing it. No. Um, it's it's these guys. The leader 599 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: is going to govern from his heart. And if I 600 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: got a leader that I know is giving me these points, 601 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: but every time he has to give them to me, 602 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: he does it grudgingly. I don't want him, and I 603 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: think that's I mean, I know you don't. I'm just 604 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: saying that's what I think these guys are doing. Okay, 605 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: I think that's where the twenty what I call them 606 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: heroes twenty one. I think that's where their heart is. 607 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: They don't trust him, they don't trust the old time politician. 608 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: They've seen it too many times that Sean m Okay. Listen, 609 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm listening closely to you. I've heard you argue, but 610 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: kind of talking in circles now. But I think the 611 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: assurances are there. I understand your points, and I respect you, 612 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: and I respect them.
