1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: Well man McCarthy, yackam McCarthy, zinky. All right. That was 2 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: the moment that Kevin McCarty finally became speaker after what 3 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: was a pretty well tiresome week for a lot of people. 4 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine one, Shawn our number. You want to 5 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: be a part of the program News Roundup and Information 6 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: Overload Hour. Joining us now is Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren 7 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Bobert is back with US. Congresswoman. How are you, Hian? 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic. How are you? I'm good? You know. 9 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: I still go back to the debate we had. I 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: think it was Wednesday of last week, Tuesday or Wednesday. 11 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: I forget and and people thought that I was mad 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: at you or you were mad at me. That was 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: not the case. I just wanted you had applied a 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: certain math to Donald Trump. You were tweeting to him, 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: and you praised him by the way in your tweet, 16 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: and then you said, if he doesn't have two eighteen, 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: you should be asking him to bow out. And I said, well, 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: your group, Bollion is twenty, why does he Why should 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: the bigger group bow out, not the smaller group. And 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: we kind of went back and forth on that, and 21 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: that's really what our disagreement was about. Yeah, John, it 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: was a week of healthy debate between all sorts of people, allies, colleagues, 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: phren of mees, all sorts of different people. We were 24 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 1: having healthy debate. And last week was the most productive 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: week I've had in Congress, having four hundred and thirty 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: four members assembled together, debating, engaging in conversation, putting forth ideas, 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: and hearing the agreement, the opposition, all of that. This 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: is what I thought Congress was supposed to be like 29 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: when I first arrived here, but it's been an empty 30 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: chambers for two years. It's been very one sided. They 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: try to pass legislation without people being present, and so 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: this was very exciting, and to me, it's exactly what 33 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: our founding fathers intended. They intended for there to be 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: deliberation on the votes that we're taking the processes moving forward, 35 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: and I think we did exactly that. We didn't just 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: flicitly cast a vote. We had serious dialogue leading up 37 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: to that point, and some amazing concessions for the country, 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: for the American people were made in the process. So 39 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people saw you and Matt katesa on 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: my TV show on Friday Night and thought that this 41 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: was a faded complete that you had decided to vote 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: for Kevin McCarthy. Now I know a little bit more 43 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: because I worked my sources. I knew a little bit 44 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: more about what was going on behind the scenes, and 45 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: everything had been agreed to, and Matt told me that 46 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: you were in agreement as well. I don't know if 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: he was speaking for you, but I'm pretty sure he was. 48 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: But both of you wanted to see it in writing 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: before you were going to make that final vote, and 50 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that's the reason Friday Night was unfolding the way it unfolded. Yes, 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: So there was some of the things that had come 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: out actually while we were doing that hit on your 53 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: TV show together, and then when we arrived at the 54 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: house floor were presented with it. We didn't have time 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: to review it. But also, Sean, I think one missing 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: element that is very important. There were six of us 57 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: there at the end, and it was made clear to 58 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: Speaker McCarthy that we wanted to go out unified, all 59 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: of us unified, not just some splintering off. And we 60 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what that time frame looked like. So 61 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: we did come to a point after we forced the 62 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: motion to adjourn, we got together, came to a place 63 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: where we were unified, the six of us, and then 64 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: we decided to to kill the motion to adjourn and 65 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: take another vote. And then that's when you saw Speaker 66 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: McCarthy be elected. But I think that that was very 67 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: important for us to not leave our friends behind and 68 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: make sure that they were in a good place prepared 69 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: to cast that boat as well. I got a little 70 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: tense over there between you and Marjorie Taylor Green and 71 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: Matt Gates, and I forget who wasn't Mike Rogers about 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: to come to blows? I mean personally, I find that 73 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: stuff entertaining. I may be unique in that thought, but 74 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: it didn't bother me at all. Right, and well, and 75 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: what people are saying I said is inaccurate, as as usual. 76 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 1: But you know when when you're apparently they were reading 77 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: your lips and they thought you used an exploitive towards Marjorie. Yes, yes, 78 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: that's incorrect. But you know, there were people surrounding us 79 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: using bully tactics, and there were several different members that 80 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: I pulled it back off and get away. We weren't 81 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: going to be bullied into a position. We wanted to 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: come out of this unified and stronger than how we 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 1: went in. And so m all all of the people 84 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: who are begging and pleading and yelling and screaming, you 85 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: know that that wasn't an influence on our vote. I 86 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: don't govern out of fear or pressure. And so you 87 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: know there were several people who were told to back off, 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: not just Marjorie. No understand well my frustration and I'll 89 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: be very blunt with you is and Matt can confirmed 90 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: this for you. Is. I had conversations with a lot 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: of people in December leading up to this, knowing that 92 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: this was a potential train wreck that was happening, and frankly, 93 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: I didn't want the new Republican majority to spend their 94 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: time arguing all of this in public when it could 95 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: have been handled at a point behind closed doors. And 96 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I urged the number of people to sit in a room, 97 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: check their egos and their phones at the door, and 98 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: come in with a list of what it is you need, 99 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: what you want, and make it specific. And you know 100 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: that didn't happen in any way the way I suggested 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: to the people that I talked to, and I know 102 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: I talked to enough people about it, as you know. 103 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: So John, I agree with you, and we did start 104 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: these negotiations summer. Unfortunately, last summer we were not taken 105 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: seriously and the request that we were making, because they 106 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: were supposed to be a massive red wave, that ridden wave, 107 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: as we all know, failed to failed to manifest. We 108 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: didn't have that, and we continued the negotiation from others. 109 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: But those those the summer negotiations, to me, were somewhat 110 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: meaningless because they know you had to win the majority 111 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: first before you got to that point. But once we 112 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: got to late November early December and the differences emerged 113 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: with them, Yes, at that point, I thought that's when 114 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: things should have worked itself out behind closed doors. I 115 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: think honestly it would have. It would have been a 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: better look for the Republicans and a better start. And 117 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: I think that maybe people forget about the base of 118 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, at the base of the Democratic Party, 119 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: but more independent voters they didn't want to see this unfold. 120 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: That's my take. Yes, So the negotiations certainly ramped up 121 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: the priests. We got more aggressive with our meetings. We 122 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: were meeting together, we were meeting with McCarthy with McCarthy's team, 123 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: and um, you know, these are things that were happening 124 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: on a regular basis. None of us wanted to have 125 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: this public showdown. That's why on January second, Matt Gates, 126 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: Scot Perry and I walked into McCarthy's office and said, 127 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: we have two hundred and eighteen votes for you. You 128 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: have to feel the deal. You have to ensure us 129 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: that these common sense confessions we are requesting are going 130 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: to take place. And we were denied that. So we said, okay, 131 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: well we'll feels. This was the list of thirty. If 132 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, there were thirty items on that list. 133 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how many items, but there there were 134 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: quite a few. Yes, we were trying to lock in 135 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: the final details of everything that we had been negotiating 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: and and now we've got them, but we didn't have 137 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: them throughout the week. Even though that people were reporting 138 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: that they've got everything that they wanted, we did not. 139 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: We did not have that or would have stopped it sooner. 140 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: I knew for examp ample, the motion to vacate with 141 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: a threshold of five congressmen that was agreed to two 142 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: to three days before January third, so I knew that 143 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: had happened, and by the way, that was that was 144 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: a top item for many members. My top item was 145 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: for it to go back to single member motion to vacate, 146 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: and everyone guess I did on many things on, many 147 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: things on and so all of this was a part 148 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: of that a negotiation process, and I'm kind of happy 149 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: that the American people got to have a bird's eye 150 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: view into Congress and the way things work because they 151 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: can see that we are actually considering the things that 152 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about and taking seriously how we are representing 153 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: our constituents. It may have looked crazy, chaotic from home, 154 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: but I'm a mom of four boys. Chaos and dysfunction 155 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: that's like a part of my everyday life. This was 156 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: very organized, and that is a very toxic masculine. That's 157 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: an attack on toxic masculinity if I've ever heard one anyway. 158 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, the bottom line is for me too, 159 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: is the agenda was always agreed on. I'm I'm guessing 160 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong that probably all two and 161 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: twenty two members agree on all the investigations that we 162 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: knew that Kevin McCarthy had a ready agreed to I 163 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: think all two hundred and twenty two members will also 164 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: agree on the Commitments to America, which is the America 165 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: First Agenda? Am I wrong on that? No, You're not 166 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: wrong on that at all, But it was a process 167 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: and how we are going to actually do that. How 168 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: are we going to have open rules? How are we 169 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: going to have amendments and have individual members of Congress 170 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: empowered to offer amendments. How are we going to have 171 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: a voice and the rules process for each bill? Each 172 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: bill has its own rule. How are we going to 173 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: investigate and have those unfold? We now have an independent 174 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: select committee for those investigations, and it's going to be 175 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: funded properly. It's going to be staff properly, really, and 176 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,239 Speaker 1: it's not going to be just some broom closet committee 177 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: that gets the short end of the stick and isn't 178 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have the right personnel in place. So these are 179 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: the details that we have been ironing out. The agenda 180 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: is easy to agree on, but it's how are you 181 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: going to execute that agenda? And that is what we've 182 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: been working on. You know, at the end of the day, 183 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: I think there's got to be no harm, no foul, 184 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: and everybody roll up their sleeves and get to work 185 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: because you were sent there to do a job. That's 186 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: the bottom line. And we certainly need a check and 187 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: a balance against this Biden white House. We certainly need 188 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: the investigations that Jim Jordan is going to run in 189 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: judiciary against looking into investigating the FBI. Are they politicized? 190 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: Is the DOJ weaponized? The investigation into the Biden family syndicate, 191 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: that's Jim Comer, Afghanistan, that disaster of a withdrawal, the 192 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: origins of COVID nineteen, Anthony Fauci, border security, all important issues, 193 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, And I think we both agreed even in 194 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: that debate that we had that so many people commented 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: on that were wrong. They did not clearly they did 196 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: not understand the issues you and I were debating, and 197 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: that it wasn't about the issues. We never disagreed on issues. No, 198 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: there are many issues that we agreed on. It's just 199 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: how do we get there? And that was the conversation. 200 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: We did not have proper accountability mechanisms in place yet 201 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: yet trust that these things aren't going to actually happen. 202 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm here to legislate to govern for my people. And 203 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: it was very important to me to make sure that 204 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: we had this locked in because I don't want to 205 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: go the next two years with centralized power in the 206 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. I want each individual member empowered, strengthened, 207 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: to have a voice. And that is exactly what we accomplished. 208 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: It took a few extra days, but that's okay. Congress 209 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: takes six to eight weeks off every summer. To take 210 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: a few days to get this right is very important. 211 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: I think you should take less time off now that 212 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: the Republicans are in charge of the House. But when 213 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: Democrats are in charge, I hope they take the whole 214 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: summer off and the fall and winner and spring while 215 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: they're at it. I think we'd all be better off. 216 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: Quick break more with Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Bobert on the 217 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: other side. Then we'll get to your calls. Eight hundred 218 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be 219 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: a part of the program, Great Hannity tonight at nine 220 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: we'll be in Washington, DC tomorrow. All right, we continue 221 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: with Congressman Lauren Bobert of Colorado, who's with us. Your 222 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: election was a very tight election, and it kind of 223 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: surprised me. I know, I had you on at one point, 224 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: and I just I've kind of figured your race was 225 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: a slam dunk. What happened, Well, I think the first 226 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: thing to happen is we didn't have any third party 227 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: candidates in the race. In my twenty twenty general election, 228 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: there were three third party candidates that easily took five 229 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: to ten thousand votes from the Democrats, and so there 230 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: was a wider margin and we were able to see 231 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: that victory much sooner. But also, I mean, just it's 232 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: interesting how reporting is in the district and the narrative 233 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: that was allowed to run rampant that nothing has been 234 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: accomplished for the district in these past two years, when 235 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: I have on my website pages and pages of things 236 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: that we were actually able to get done, even in 237 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: the minority. So I won in twenty twenty with fifty 238 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: one percent of the vote, and I won in twenty 239 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: twenty two it's fifty one percent of the vote. I'm 240 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: still going to be in my district working as aggressively 241 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: as I have been for the past several years to 242 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: make sure every voice is heard, and then I'm able 243 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: to deliver promises for them. So I'm very excited to 244 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: have been reelected to be entrusted by the voters of 245 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Colora's third district to continue to represent them and be 246 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: their voice. And I'm looking forward to doing exactly that. 247 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: I hope this week proved that I'm not going to 248 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: stop fighting for them, that I'm always going to stand strong, 249 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: i won't be bullied into a position, and I'll do 250 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: exactly what my principles tell me are our right to 251 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: serve my district. So where are you with Marjorie Taylor Green? 252 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: Are you guys? Good? Marjorie Taylor Green is my colleague 253 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: and I wish her the best. That is a non 254 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: answer answer. So you have not resolved your differences yet? 255 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Do you plan on it? Look if there are differences 256 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: to be resolved, sure, But she was very clearly had 257 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: had made her deal with Kevin McCarthy early on and 258 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: was a proponent of his. And we had real work 259 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: to do with making sure the rules package is type, 260 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: to make sure that we have these independent select committees 261 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: in place, so we have single subject rules, that we 262 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: have German miss rules, so we don't have one point 263 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars omnibus bills thrown on us in the 264 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: middle of the night with no time to read them. 265 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: We will now have seventy two full hours to read 266 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: a bill before it comes there. You know, I don't 267 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: know the reasoning for just blindly following someone for a 268 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: committee assignment or whatever the case may be. I've been, 269 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, on different sides of many issues with her 270 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: and other colleagues in the past, and I'm doing what's 271 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: right for my district and focusing on exactly that. All right, 272 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: there will be peace in the family. I think if 273 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: everybody needs to really understand that the date, but the 274 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: party needs to unify, and I think we're going to 275 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: completely agree. Well, and that's it and work for the 276 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: American people. Lauren Bober, congresswoman, appreciate you being with us. 277 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: Thank you eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn our number. 278 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program, all right, 279 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. You know, 280 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: here on this program, we've always talked about the sanctity 281 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: of life saving children. Now this is where a new 282 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: organization called Preborn comes in. They're making a huge impact 283 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: in those expecting and they have rescued over two hundred 284 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: thousand babies from an abortion. Look every single day, their 285 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: clinics save about one hundred and fifty babies, and they 286 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: use science to do it. When I'm with an unplanned pregnancy, 287 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: sees her baby on an ultrasound, here's that heartbeat. Well, 288 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: that baby's chance of survival now is doubled. Now Preborn 289 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: goes without without any government funding. Their clinics are completely 290 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: dependent on you me in the pro life community. And 291 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: by the way, one ultrasound is twenty eight bucks less 292 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: than most dinners. And the other part is they do 293 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: all the follow through any medical assistance that people need, 294 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: baby formula, diapers when the baby's born. They help people 295 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: up to two years after they have their baby. Or 296 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: if people make the choice to go the adoption route, 297 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: they help them with that too. Anyway, dial pound two 298 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: fifty say the keyword baby, pound two fifty, keyword baby, 299 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: using science to convince people that what is growing inside 300 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: them is something of great value and a miracle in 301 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: so many ways. One hundred percent of your donation will 302 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: go to saving babies.

All right, 305 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones. Mike California. What's up, 306 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Big MinC. How are you glad you called? Sir? Oh? 307 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: Thank you Sean. First of all, I wanted to I 308 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: want to make two points. But first I want to 309 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: say that I really appreciated your coverage last week in 310 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: that you covered the pluses, you covered the minuses. It 311 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: was not all one way or the other. And I 312 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: think he had a great balance and that was much appreciated. Well, 313 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: you're very kind. I'll tell you what my main goal was. 314 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: I wanted these guys to get to work. I want yes, 315 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: do we ever want another John Bayner? God? No, God 316 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: help us. We don't want that. So what I was 317 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: what I was looking for. First, I was a little 318 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: frustrated it wasn't worked out ahead of time, but that's 319 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: personal for me. On the other side of it is guys, 320 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: get in a room, get your wish list down, get 321 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: a deal, and start working for the American people. Took 322 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: a week. We got there, you know, no harmon, no fell. 323 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: My only concern is that when they get to these 324 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: committee meetings and they have various revelations that the media 325 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: and Democrats are just going to use this this thing 326 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: and just say, well, another accusation from the clown car 327 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: and really, but does it really matter. I mean, I 328 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: say this to people that say I prefer this person 329 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: for president, I prefer this person for speaker. At the 330 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: end of the day, if you are a Republican, you're 331 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: a racist, you're a sexist, you're a misogynist, you want 332 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: dirty air and water, You're a homophobe, xenophobe, islamophobe, you 333 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: want to destroy the environment, you want to kill granny 334 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: and steal her social Security and Medicare. It's just, you know, 335 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: that's who they are. It doesn't matter what the name is. 336 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna say the same lies about anybody that's a Republican. 337 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: What's true, But just assume that we not give him ammunition. 338 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: And one last thing is Matt Gates was not on 339 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: my plus lift and then when I saw him texting 340 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: during the entirety of Kevin McCarthy's speech, that really erased 341 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: him off my list. You know, I think a lot 342 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: of this is going to be forgotten and pretty short 343 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: order as they move forward with their agenda, which we 344 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: talked about earlier. That that's my guess. Look, I would 345 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: urge everybody on all sides of this, and as you 346 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: saw Friday nine, things got pretty hot in the chamber. 347 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: My argument to everybody is, you know what, let's let's 348 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: now focus on what's important. Their Their job is to 349 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: be public servants. Their job is to serve you. Now, 350 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: if I'm your servant, I'm supposed to you know, your 351 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: breakfast is to be prepared the way you like it, 352 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: on time, and it's the same. There's no difference with 353 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: an elected official. They're supposed to serve you. We the people. 354 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: Let them do the job now that they said that 355 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: they want to do and promise that they were going 356 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: to do. We had we had the week. If you know, 357 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: some people liked it, some people like me thought it 358 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: should have been handled ahead of time, but by and 359 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: large it doesn't matter. Now, get to work and do 360 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: the things you said you're going to do. I'm I 361 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: think your coverage is gonna and the way you covered 362 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: it is going to help that tremendously. Listen, I'm holding 363 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: their fee to the fire. I don't want them to 364 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: deviate one iota from what it is they said that 365 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: they're going to do. I want this agenda because this 366 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: agenda is best for the American people. I also want 367 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: to manage people's expectations. This is, you know, one half 368 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: of one branch of government, so actually a third when 369 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: you take the Senate out of it, so you have 370 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: half the House. We don't have the Senate, we don't 371 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: have the executive branch, and obviously nobody has the judicial branch, 372 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: although we do have a Supreme Court. Now that is 373 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: a lot better than it used to be. So it's 374 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: time to get to work, show people what we can do. 375 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: Get these investigations that have been long warranted underway, and 376 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: I think when you see people see progress, they'll be happy, 377 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: and hopefully that will instill confidence in people that Republicans 378 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: can not only fight among themselves, but govern and do 379 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: and fulfill their promises. You know, the best election campaign 380 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: you could ever run on is one way you say 381 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: I made you these promises. Remember I made the promise. 382 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: I fulfilled my promise. There's an old rule in radio. 383 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: Tell people you're going to do it, do it, Remind 384 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: them you did it. It's the same thing for politicians anyway. 385 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: My friend, God bless you out in California appreciated eight 386 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one Sean Kenneth is in El Paso. Oh, 387 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: how is the nice clean up before Joe Biden showed up? 388 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: Tell you what if you were to looked at video 389 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: on the twenty fourth of December compared to video in 390 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: the seventh of January, it was just night and day. 391 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: We will be doing that very everything and watch and see. Frankly, 392 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty disgusting. What they did here is so transparent 393 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: and so obvious. Biden didn't really Number one visit the border. 394 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: This was a photo op where they cleaned everything up 395 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: to make it look real pretty for Joe Biden to 396 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: go down there. God forbid, we get represented, a real 397 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: representation of what the situation is like where you live 398 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: in al Paso. I have friends in al Paso. I 399 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: know how bad it is. We sent Sarah Carter down 400 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: there twenty times. We know, we have the video. We've 401 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: shown it and we'll show it again tonight and remind people. 402 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: And we'll show people also how they cleaned it up 403 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: as Biden was coming into town. It was a joke. Oh, 404 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: it was crazy. You know what's funny is that a 405 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: couple of days before the announcement came out that Biden 406 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: was coming down. What they did is they had no 407 00:22:52,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: council police and the track Sanitation department going through telling 408 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: people gather up whatever you can and move away. And 409 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: at first nobody quite understood what the reasoning was behind that. 410 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: And then of course on Thursday evening low Ball, the 411 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: border patrol is going down and they're rounding their father 412 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: folks that were still there. And you know, a lot 413 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: of these folks that were out there on the streets 414 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: were have been invited by the nonprofit organizations to come 415 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: in and take shelter and so forth, and a lot 416 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: of them frankly did not want to go because they 417 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: were told they would have to provide their personal information. 418 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: So that meaning here is a red flag, meaning that 419 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: these folks are not here just because they're looking for 420 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: so called amnesty or or or looking for a sanctuary city. 421 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: They're here for other reasons. You know. We I don't 422 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: know if you know that when the Afghani migrants were 423 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: flown in here toil Passo to Fort Bliss, they were 424 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: actually transported right across the state line to Doniana County 425 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: in New Mexico, and you could literally drive up there 426 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: where these folks were being kept and there were walking 427 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: they were walking amously about the streets, and one of 428 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: them actually um called in a uber uber had him 429 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: take him down to downtown. O Passo got out of 430 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the uber and disappeared into this in air. So, kid, 431 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: you can't make that up. Can you think that what 432 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: Governor Abbott did was fantastic? I loved it. I love 433 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: Governor Abbott. Abbott was great. All right, we appreciate it, Kenneth, 434 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: thanks for telling us the truth about what really happened 435 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: down there. Um, it's so disgraceful, so phony, so fake, 436 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: it's so fraud It's just so typical Washington, Ali, Louisiana. 437 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: Next Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Bali? How are you hey, sir? 438 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm fine. I just wanted to thank all the Republicans 439 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: and Congress on McCarthy side of their debate and on 440 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus side. It's been a long time since 441 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: we had just where you know, Congress, Republicans and Congress 442 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: are gonna just not roll over for anything. They will 443 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: stand up. I'm very excited. It would be very helpful. 444 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: I thought a lot of it was resolved ahead of time, 445 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: based on my sources. People I talked to, conversations I 446 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: had with people. In the end, I'll let you decide 447 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: whether you think it was it should have been done beforehand, 448 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: or or let it play out the way it did 449 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: in public. At the end of the day, it doesn't 450 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: matter that the deal got done. The governing begins, the 451 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: work of the people begins. That's what's important. Yes, sir, 452 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: I agree. Just I have so much hope now, a 453 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: lot more than I did right after the midterm results. Yeah. Well, listen, 454 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: we've got our I guess the election ever in two 455 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: short years, less than two years, so buckle up. It's 456 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a rocky ride. They need to do their 457 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: job now. They've had time to fight it out. Now 458 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: it's time to get to work. Rick and Wisconsin. What's up, Rick? 459 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: How are you, sir? Good talk to you. Yeah, I 460 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: just had a couple of questions. In the first one, 461 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll ask you, and then I'll wait on 462 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: my second one. Huture replies, So, as far as like 463 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: McCarty's role in the Omnibus bill, you know, being the 464 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: minority leader, what do you think he should have done 465 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: or did he do the right thing by you know, 466 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: voting yes for it? He didn't you you're talking about 467 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: the bill that was passed by the Senate. He didn't know. 468 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: The Republicans did not in the House, didn't vote for it. 469 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: He was begging Mitch McConnell and the leadership in the 470 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: Senate not to do this deal. He wanted no part 471 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: of that omnibus bill. He rightly was asking them, because 472 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: they now had the majority, to wait and fund the 473 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: government through a continually resolution. He did. He wanted no 474 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: part of that omnibus bill, and the Republicans in the 475 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: Senate that did it. Frankly, I found it repulsive. Okay, 476 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I'm misunderstood. What how this bill 477 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: actually got placed. I thought the bill was voted on 478 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: in the Congress and then sent to the Senate. Remember 479 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: but at that time, in December and the lead up 480 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: to Christmas, the House was in control of the Democrats, 481 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: not by not by Kevin McCarthy, but it was still 482 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: it was still a bipartisan bill that passed through the 483 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: Congress in the Senate. In the Senate where this thing 484 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: got hammered out, that's where the damage was done. And 485 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: the Democrats, you know, had the majority in the House 486 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: and they used it. Right, I understand, you know, like, 487 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: but but I feel like it when it's still in 488 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: the Congress, all these Republicans who has said, no way, 489 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: we're not spending trillions of dollars on this stuff. Let 490 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: us make the bill come first of the year and 491 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: we'll vote on our agenda. Yeah, it's like, it's like 492 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: all these just let it go through. It was a 493 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: massive mistake. That was a Senate mistake. Make no mistake 494 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: that happened in the Senate shouldn't have happened anyway. Good 495 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: call my friend Brick, appreciate it. Let's say hi to 496 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: Steve in Texas. What's up, Steve? How are you Sean? 497 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: You're a great American. I think everybody's missing a little 498 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: bit of the boat here. Those twenty people that held 499 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: up Congress I view as heroes. They drew a line 500 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: in the sin just like Colonel Travis down here at 501 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: the Automo. They had to have McCarthy do exactly what 502 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: the Republicans need to do and hold his feet to 503 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: the fire. We've had too many people, Baynard, Ryan, even McConnell. 504 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: All these guys. They're not in the swamp with the creatures, 505 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: but they're waiting in knee deep water. We won't have 506 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: another guy slipped through the crash. I agree with you completely, 507 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: and the people that fought got those assurances. The only 508 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna tell you, and this is inside baseball, 509 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: this is me working my sources. I'm telling you it 510 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: was never going to be a possibility. That was never 511 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna happen here. But however they got. They fought, and 512 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: they wanted it and writing in some cases they wanted 513 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: even more than they were originally asking for, and they 514 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: got it. And I think in the end it worked 515 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: out fine. I certainly hope so it works out fine 516 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: because we may not have another crack. It's just Sean, 517 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: it's got to be cleaned up correctly. I totally completely agree. 518 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: So Sean, I love you, why my friends for years. 519 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: Good day. I'm proud of your governor down there handing Biden. 520 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: That letter was awesome. Anyway, thank you. Eight hundred and 521 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean. If you want to be a 522 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: part of the program, George, you know there are three 523 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: core principles here. Number one, we are dealing within a 524 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: broken immigration system that Congress has failed to repair for decades, 525 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: and there is unanimity with respect to that reality. Number one. 526 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Number two, the world is dealing with the greatest displacement 527 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: of people since World War Two, and the western hemisphere, 528 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: our entire hemisphere is gripped with a migration challenge. Last 529 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: time you were here, you said you wanted to go 530 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: with President Biden to the border. He's going there today. 531 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: Are you participating at all? Have you had any contact 532 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: with the White House about migration. I'm very disappointed in 533 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: the administration. You know, seven months ago I hosted the 534 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: President in Uvaldi and I asked him to visit on 535 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: the border. He looked me in the eye and he said, Tony, Yes. 536 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: Seven months later, when I try to be part of 537 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: this El Paso visit, which I represent El Paso, I 538 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: represent nearly fifty percent of the southern border, the White 539 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: House told me I wasn't able to be part of it. 540 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: What does that mean? That means that means that Democrats 541 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: are using this as a policy They think this is 542 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: a political challenge, not a policy challenge. Clearly, you know, 543 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: you see these images a couple of weeks ago of 544 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: hundreds of people in a cell. That's not a political challenge. 545 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: That is a policy challenge, all right, Hannity Tonight, nine 546 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: eastern on the Fox News channel. Loaded Up, we have 547 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: a full report on the border that you're not going 548 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: to get from anybody else.
