With the Democratic Party when it comes to 203 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: funding for Israel. 204 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: What I mean by this, Well, the the US not. 205 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Only have said to Israel, if you strike back in Iran, 206 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: you'll do it alone. In the US military says they 207 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: will not help Israel if they do strike back against Iran. 208 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: That's number one. 209 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: But we also know now they won't give the funding 210 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: needed for Israel to protect and defend itself through Congress 211 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: without them tying it to other things at the left demands. 212 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: What do I mean by that? 213 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Apparently we have to fund all of the other liberal 214 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: agenda items, every single one of them. And if we 215 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: don't fund them in a big bill together so that 216 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: everything comes together right in a certain way where all 217 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: the other port barrel spending projects of the left, then 218 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: Israel will be held hostage while they're literally under attack. 219 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: We also have been told now that House Speaker Mike 220 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: Johnson announces the House will vote on measures for Ukraine 221 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: AID and Israel AID in announcing the plan for the 222 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Congressional Chamber to vote on measures that would provide USA 223 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: to countries such as Israel and Ukraine. Now, before you 224 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: get angry at Johnson, I want you to understand that 225 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: Johnson's not an idiot. 226 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: Johnson understands that we need to get. 227 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: Funding to Israel, and we may have to make a 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: deal with the devil, meaning the Democratic Party to get 229 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: that money to Israel. I'm gonna explain all this before 230 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: you cast stones at him. I just want you to 231 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: understand there is perspective here on what would happen in 232 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: the Senate, which is not controlled by the Republicans. Johnson 233 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: said there will be votes on the measures separately in 234 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: four different pieces. Now that's the part that's important for 235 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: you to understand, because there's been a lot of people 236 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: in conservative media that have been over reacting to Johnson's 237 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: plan and they don't understand it. 238 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: I made a lot of phone calls last night. 239 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: To make sure I understood exactly what the plan of 240 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: the speaker was. So the measure is to I'm quoting 241 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: measures separately in four different pieces. That will cover assistance 242 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: for then another piece will cover assistance for Ukraine, and 243 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: then another piece will cover the Indo Pacific, and the 244 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: other will be about issues pertaining to national security priorities represented. 245 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green said she believes this is the wrong direction, saying, quote, 246 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: our border is the number one policy issue that voters 247 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: care about all over the countries, she said, so she 248 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: believes this is somehow wrong. She said, everyone is having 249 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: to pay taxes right tax Day was the fifteenth. Everyone's 250 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: having to pay their irs taxes to fund a government 251 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't care about fixing the problems in America. She said, Instead, 252 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: we're funding endless foreign wars and countries most Americans can't 253 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: find on a map. The American people, she went on 254 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: to say, are sick and tired of this. Here's a 255 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: little bit from the congresswoman who believes that we should 256 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: just be able to do one thing only at a time. 257 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: I love the idea, it's also not reality, thoughts. 258 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: What is your real many? 259 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 6: I am firmly against the plan as it stands right now. 260 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 6: Here's what Republican voters across the country know. They know 261 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 6: that Speaker Johnson passed a two part omnibus that funded 262 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 6: Biden's open border deadly open border policies, funded the DOJ, 263 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 6: which has ninety one federal indictments against President Trump and 264 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 6: wants to put him in jail for the rest of 265 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 6: his life. 266 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: Funded the FBI. 267 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 6: That rated Marlago and gave him a brand new building. 268 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 6: Now he's telling American telling Republican voters that he's going 269 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 6: to put Ukraine money for sixty billion dollars, supposedly broken 270 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 6: down to make it more appealing, somehow of funding for Taiwan, 271 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 6: funding for Israel, and then some sort of national security 272 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 6: package that includes the TikTok ban, which, by the way, 273 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 6: there's a lot of Republican voters on TikTok, and Republican 274 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 6: voters are angry at Facebook and Instagram for being censored, 275 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 6: and are angry at sissek and DHS for spying on 276 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 6: Americans in Facebook and formally Twitter. This is such a 277 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 6: scam and people are so done with it. People care 278 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 6: about actions. They're tired of Republicans going out and promising 279 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 6: all these promises and saying how we're fighting for America 280 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 6: and then sending their hard earned tax dollars. By the way, 281 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 6: today's tax day, April fifteenth, everyone's having to pay the 282 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 6: irs to fund this government that doesn't care about actually 283 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 6: fixing the problems here at home. They just want to 284 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 6: kick the can down the road. And people are not 285 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 6: going to like any of this. They're going to be 286 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 6: angry about it. And I think this is I think 287 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,479 Speaker 6: it's another wrong direction for Speaker Johnson in our conference. 288 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: Plan. 289 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 6: I haven't decided on that yet, but I just stood 290 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 6: in the conference and told basically my entire conference that 291 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 6: right there, and I just think this. 292 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: Is the wrong direction to go. 293 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 6: Our border is the number one policy issue that voters 294 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 6: care about all across the country, and the Senate has 295 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 6: not taken up a vote on a two our border 296 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 6: package that we sent over there. They're just demanding that 297 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 6: the House vote to fund Ukraine, vote to fund Taiwan, 298 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 6: and send more money to Israel, claiming that our military 299 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 6: is running out of ammunition. Well, you want to know 300 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 6: something of these people in there cared about our military, 301 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 6: why don't we do a separate bill to fund and 302 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 6: rebuild our military with ammunition and supplies without having to 303 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 6: fund a foreign war to do that. 304 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: Ukraine has been a redline for you in the past, 305 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: and you've said even recently when you followed the original MERSI. 306 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 6: I didn't say Ukraine alone. I said we should not 307 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 6: put Ukraine money before our border. 308 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: And that's what I said. 309 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 6: What is part of your consideration now as you designed 310 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 6: what you're going to do here? 311 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: Where do you why? What process? 312 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 6: I'm telling you exactly what my thoughts are unfiltered as 313 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 6: I walked out of the conference. 314 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 5: Right there. 315 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: You listen to Marjorie Taylor Green and there's a lot 316 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: that she said there that I agree with. But this 317 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: is the part that worries me about the Republican Party 318 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: right now. You don't always get what you want, and 319 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: we have a government that's set up where when you 320 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: don't have the majority in the Senate and you barely 321 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: have the majority in the House, you can't have a 322 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: dictatorship because there's somebody else on the other. 323 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: Side that believes the complete opposite of you in a way. 324 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: Now, do I believe that we should be giving all 325 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: this money and all the things that she mentioned? No, 326 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: I don't, But I also know there has to be 327 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: some level of compromise. And what's happening now, and this 328 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: is what I think so many conservatives he'd understand, is 329 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: if you are a conservative right now and you have 330 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: this one two person majority in the House, you can 331 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: become very famous, very quickly by threatening to vacate the 332 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: speaker's office. Was exactly what happened last time to the 333 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: last speaker, Okay, and Kevin McCarthy. And the amount of 334 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: press and power, I mean, the amount of press that 335 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: people like Byron Donald's of Florida, or Lowen Bobert of Colorado, 336 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: or or Marjorie Taylor Green have, I mean, Warren Burber 337 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: put this out closing the southern border is nowhere to 338 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: be found. Her response to a tweet that was put 339 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: out there by Speaker Johnson. So I've spoken with a 340 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: House GOP conference on my planned address affical security supplemental 341 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: legislation on the growing security crisis. 342 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: This week, we will consider separate bills with a structured. 343 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: And germane amendment process to fund our ally Israel. 344 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: He goes on another list. 345 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: But again, this is what Democrats are loving about Republicans 346 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: right now, is that we can't get our act together 347 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: to get anything done because we have so much infighting 348 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: and every time Speaker Johnson has to make a compromise, 349 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: and when you have a slim majority so none, you 350 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: have to make compromises. 351 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: That's governing. That's governing, folks. 352 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: And we can sit here and keep getting our brains 353 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: beat in if we if we hold the line and 354 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: refuse to compromise, because every time that we refuse to 355 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: compromise on anything, we lose because they have the votes 356 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: to beat us. 357 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: So we're losing. That's the truth. 358 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: Now, we can sit here on our principles forever and 359 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: we're going to lose the House. 360 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: It will happen, Mark my word. 361 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: Democrats will be in charge of the House before of 362 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: the election if we continue to act this way. This 363 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: is the warning I would love to have a big 364 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: majority in the House. I'd love to have victories. I'd 365 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: love for us to be able to dictate to Democrats. 366 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: I'd love it if every Republican in the House was 367 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: lock step with one another. 368 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: The reality is that's not going to happen right now. 369 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: We have a slim majority, and that means that the 370 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: moderate Republicans also have just as much power as the 371 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greens, or the Lauren Boberts or the Byron Nelson. 372 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: Like if I was in the House right now, I 373 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: think many of you know me pretty well. I would 374 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: be more of a hardcore conservative, principled individual who would 375 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: be fighting. 376 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: But I'm also not an idiot. 377 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: I understand how democracy works and how votes work, and 378 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: how governing works. 379 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: And sometimes the job. 380 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: When you get sent to Washington is to do the 381 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: best deal you can get for your constituents and not 382 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: walk around like you're a terrorist. 383 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: Okay, if I don't get what I want, you're not 384 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: going to get to be this anymore. 385 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: Why do you think some of me moderate Republicans have 386 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: quit the House because they say it's the most dysfunctional house. 387 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: Excuse me, it's the most dysfunctional house they've ever seen. 388 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: No one's getting anything done right now because no one 389 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: can move because they're paralyzed by a few members. Lauren 390 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: Bobert is a great example of this, and I like 391 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: her energy. I really do the House Freedom Cack has 392 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: issued a statement expressing support for the prospect of Israel AID, 393 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: while declaring that it would not abide using the emergency 394 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: situation Israel as a bogus justification to ram through Ukraine 395 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: AID with no offset and no security for our own 396 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: wide open borders. Now, I agree we need to dig 397 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: in here. The question is for how long? And do 398 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: you do it indefinitely? Knowing that you're one vote away 399 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: from total disaster. And let's say that we've moved to vacate, 400 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, as Marjorie Taylor Green was talking about a 401 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: second ago, and you get rid of Mike Johnson, who's 402 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: gonna get. 403 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: The job next? 404 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: Let's say that we give it to a hardcore conservative, right, 405 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: the people that believe they are the most conservative of all, 406 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: like Marjorie. You think anybody's gonna follow her. She wouldn't 407 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: win the speaker's vote. So that's done Byron Donalds, who 408 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: I like. Is that guy gonna become the speaker? 409 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 3: No? 410 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: Is he gonna get the majority of the votes? No, 411 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: so that guy's done. Lauren Bobert, Let's go with Lauren Bobert. 412 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: For example, you think Lauren Bobert is gonna get the 413 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: votes seed to become speaker? 414 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: No, so that idea is done. U. Matt Gates. 415 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: Let's go with Matt Gates. Okay, is he gonna get 416 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: the speakership? No, so that that idea is done. So so, 417 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: who are you gonna get If you're gonna replace Kevin 418 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: McCarthy with Mike Johnson, and Mike Johnson isn't good enough 419 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: for you while you have a extremely slim majority. 420 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 2: Who are you gonna get next? That's gonna be good? Right? 421 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 5: Like? 422 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: Who is that gonna be? Speaker? Johnson put out his tweet. 423 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 2: I want to go back this, he said, I'm smoking. 424 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: With the House up conference, I planned to addressed National 425 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: Security supplemental legislation on the growing security crisis. This week, 426 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: we will consider separate bills with a structured and germane 427 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: amendment process to quote one fund our ally Israel, two 428 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: support Ukraine and its war against Russian aggression. Three Strengthen 429 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: our allies the Indo Pacific four pass additional measures accounter 430 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: our adversaries and strengthen our national security. Now there are 431 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: people that say, well, you need to have something in 432 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: there on border security. I'm also a realist here. You 433 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: could pass the most incredible border security bill in history 434 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. And it doesn't matter 435 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: right now because the Senate will not pass it because 436 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: the Senate is run by Democrats. 437 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: That's the reality. 438 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: So you can sit here and you can, in fact, 439 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: you can pass legislation to finish the wall. 440 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: Does it matter, No, because you don't have the votes 441 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: in the Senate. And we've done this. 442 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: Remember when we did this, like over and over and 443 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: over again. How many times we passed the border security 444 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: funding over and over again when Trump was in office, right, 445 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: and then the Democrats and Senate we had all these fights. 446 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: Remember all that, right, right? You remember you remember when 447 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: that happened? 448 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: Like that happened not that long ago, folks, And then 449 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: it became a procedural process. I'm the most conservative. I 450 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: just passed it again. No no, no, I'm the most conservative. 451 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: I just passed again. No no, no, I'm the most conservative. 452 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: I passed it again. That that's what happens. Okay, Like 453 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: that's that's the ballgame, folks. And we did that over 454 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: and over again and none of it passed. Ever, you 455 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: want to get stuff done, we need to send better 456 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: conservatives to Congress, no doubt about it. We need to 457 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: send better conservatives to the Senate, no doubt about it. 458 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: But if you don't have the majority, it doesn't matter. 459 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: And even if we got that passed, and let's just 460 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: say by some And this is the conversation I have 461 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: with because I've been watching this guy since I was 462 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: twelve years old. I started studying Congress hardcore when Newt 463 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: Gingrich was a speaker and the Contract of America happened, 464 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: and it was a brilliant to get a bunch of 465 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: stuff done real early on. 466 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 2: It was amazing. 467 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Okay, And they did it in nineteen ninety four, and 468 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: they came in with an agenda, but they had the votes, 469 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: and they had enough votes to be able to do 470 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: it even while losing some conservative votes. I would love 471 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: to do another contract with America. I'd love to come 472 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: in and have a list. But let's just say that 473 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: we passed this massive border security build today. Let's say 474 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: we did it in the House, and it went to 475 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: the Senate, and let's say there were some senators that 476 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: defected from the Democratic Party and voted for it, which 477 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: they wouldn't, but let's just hypothetically say they would. 478 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: Then we go to the president. You think the President's 479 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: going to sign it? 480 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 6: Now? 481 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 2: Of course not. 482 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: But all of what I just said was a complete 483 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: hypothetical that would never happen because we don't have the 484 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: votes in the House to do it the right way, 485 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: much less the Senate. Now, let me make a comparison here, 486 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: and this is the full circle, and this is the 487 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: most important part of what I'm going to probably say 488 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: today on this issue. Just like I told you and 489 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: explain John Mellencamp earlier, right, guy walks up there, this 490 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: is what I believe, This is what I demand. Okay, 491 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: this is what I want. And if you guys in 492 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: the minute don't agree with me, then I'm gonna take 493 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: my toys and I'm gonna go home. Is that any 494 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: different of a ridiculous stand than what some of the 495 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: Republicans are doing in the House. Right If I don't 496 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: give what I want, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna 497 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: blow up everything here.

But we can't govern the same 581 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: way that John Mellencamp does with his audience. When someone 582 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: disagrees I'm out of here, I'm taking my toys and 583 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: going home. That's something we cannot do.
