1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy is out as a Speaker of the House.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: The question now is what happens next. I'm being told

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance it could be Steve Scalise.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Would Steve Scalise be a great speaker. I do believe

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: that he would be a great speaker. Steve Scalise is

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: a man. If you remember that was practicing for that

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: congressional football game when that attempted mass murderer and a

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: mass shooter decided to start mowing down Conservatives who were

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: practicing for that game. Steve Scalise was one of those

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: that was hurt very badly. He was able to come

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: back from that. I'm being told that there's a very

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: good chance that Steve Scalise could get the speakership. Now.

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Is that an improvement over Kevin McCarthy. Probably? And I

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: also think that we need to get this done very quickly.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: We know now that Kevin McCarthy is not gonna run.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: He said that in conference and made it very clear.

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Congressman Matt Gates gave his remarks after the removal of

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy outside of the capital to the media, and

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he said. Listen carefully,

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: you'll hear the reporters yelling their question and what was.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: Going through your head? Let the vote gattle down, and

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: it was a special McCarthy wasn't speak there.

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: Just we got to move to the next step. You know,

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 3: we are not at the end of this process. Okay,

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: at most, we're approaching halftime. We've got to be able

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: to assemble a governing coalition.

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: We have to.

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: Build from a place of trust. The reason Kevin McCarthy

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: went down today is because nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy. Kevin

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: McCarthy has made multiple contradictory promises and when they all

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: came to lost, He lost votes of people who maybe

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 3: don't even ideologically agree with me on everything. Take for example,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: my colleague from South Carolina, Miss Mace. She's she has

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: different views than I do on a variety of subjects,

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: but what we had in common Kevin McCarthy lied on

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: the cross online.

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: Second, you're saying that nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy, you're talking

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: about coding yourself about seven Republicans compared to about two

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: hundred and.

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Somewhat Republicans who actually do trust him. So can you

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: kind of explain.

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: As it turns out, getting two hundred Republicans to trust

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: you isn't enough to stay speaker compared to Republicans.

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: Have you spoken to former President Trump about this since

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: the ousting?

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: Was he supportive of the.

47
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: What what you were doing?

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: I have spoken to President Trump over the last several days.

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: The ousting only occurred several minutes ago, so we haven't spoken.

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: President put on your scial that he didn't think this

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 5: was a good idea.

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 6: He didn't want to see Republicans fighting with other Republicans.

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: How do you respond to the former president?

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: I would uh. I would say that my conversations with

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: the former president leave me with great confidence that I'm

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: doing the right thing.

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: Did the President call you today?

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: The agenda and the.

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: I would say that the conservative agenda was being paralyzed

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: by Speaker McCarthy's we have Krthy.

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: We hadn't even said you listened to Matt Gates there,

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: and Matt h is loving this moment. I do think

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: there's a very interesting parallel between Matt Gates and Ross Parrot.

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Ross Parrot, if you know the history of why he

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: decided to run against George Bush, was he just didn't

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: want George Bush to be president. He didn't want to

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: be president himself. Ross Parrow actually did not want to

68
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: be president. He just wanted to make sure that George

69
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Bush did didn't get to keep his job as president.

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: And ross parrou had what Summer referred to as the

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: blank U money. He had enough cash to finance his

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: own campaign, and he thought, I can probably find enough

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: disgruntled conservatives, libertarians, those that are tired of the establishment,

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: and those that I can convince to be tired of

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: George Bush that I can cost him the presidency, which

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: ultimately gave you Bill Clinton. There is no way in

77
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the polling that Bill Clinton would have won that election

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for ross Paro stealing more votes from

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Bush than he stole from Clinton. Yeah, he's still from

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Clinton too, but he stole more votes, almost a two

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: to one margin, from Bush than he stole from Clinton.

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: So ross Perrot got what he wanted. He wanted to

83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: cost George Bush the presidency, and he did it. And

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: then what he did, he went away. Matt Gates hates

85
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy hates Matt Gates. You have to

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: ask yourself this question, was this for the go of

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: country or was this because Matt Gates hates McCarthy and

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: McCarthy hates Matt Gates. You know, if you look at

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: take politics out for a second. I'm just saying how

90
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: childish this was. At the end, Kevin McCarthy tweeted out,

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: and this is a dumb tweet for the speaker to

92
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: tweet out, bring it on. He was in response to

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Ken McCarthy saying, all right, excuse me, in response to

94
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Matt Gates saying I'm gonna bring this vote, and he

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: said bring it on. And then what happened was the

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: wheels came off and Matt Gates and seven other Republicans

97
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: did this, be clear, with one hundred percent Democratic support.

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: They did this by working with all of the Democrats.

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: I having some of the Democrats, all of the Democrats

100
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: over throw Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gates's response was after

101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: the vote, I just did. Now. Some would say that's

102
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: an unbelievable amount of power. Others would see that is

103
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: total chaos. Matt Gates is you know, he likes being

104
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the least liked conservative in the room in Washington, d C.

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: He likes going out to conservative events and being cheered.

106
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: He likes being famous, he loves this amount of attention.

107
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: I know Matt Gates, Okay, I know him well. I

108
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: have a cell phone number, he has mine, and we've

109
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: been friendly throughout our career. We've had dinner together, we

110
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: have been backstage together, We've spoken at different conservative events together.

111
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: But Matt Gates, to be is about Matt Gates. Now,

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: there's one. I have two problems with how this went down,

113
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: and none of this has to do with Ken McCarthy,

114
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: by the way. Number one, the timing this of this

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: was incredibly incompetent. You had yesterday when this was going on.

116
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: On the same day this was going on, you had

117
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden in a courtroom, in a federal courtroom for

118
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: gun charges against him. You know what, the media didn't

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: have to cover Hunter Biden pleading not guilty to crimes

120
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: that he has committed in a federal courtroom. You had

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: a media that got a pass and said, I don't

122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: have to cover that now because for the first time

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: in the United States history, on the same exact day, okay,

124
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: on the same day, we're getting rid of a speaker

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: and an infighting, I get to cover that instead. And

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: that was a stupid move. This vote should have not

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: been brought up on the same day. This should have

128
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: been tabled till today, till the next day, till tomorrow,

129
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: and made sure that we had a news cycle where

130
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: you had to cover the President United It's America's son

131
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: in court in a federal courtroom having to plead not guilty.

132
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: The second part of this is who's going to be better?

133
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Who is the next person. I'm hearing Steve Scalise is

134
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: the front runner at this point. That obviously can change.

135
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people that are obsessed with it

136
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: being Donald Trump. I don't think Donald Trump wants this job,

137
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: so that's a waste of time. He's running for president.

138
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: But Matt Gates doesn't have a better name. It's not him.

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: But I think ultimately he got what he wanted. He

140
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: got more followers on Twitter, Facebook, his name id went up.

141
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: He can fundraise off of this, and he has the

142
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: idea of the mentality of burned the whole place down.

143
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: And there are people that love that. But is it

144
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: good for the Republican Party when it comes to the nation. No,

145
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: there are a lot of independent voters right now. They're

146
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: thinking this party is a bunch of yahoos, and they're

147
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: going to look at this and remember this on election day.

148
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: All right, let me tell you real quick about an

149
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: amazing company called Patriot Mobile. For ten years, they have

150
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I

151
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: say only trust me, they're the only one. Glenn and

152
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: the team have been great supporters of this show, which

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: is why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. They

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: offer you dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to

155
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: access all three major networks, which means you get the

156
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: same coverage you've been accustomed to without funding the leftist agenda.

157
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message

174
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: to two Patriot. Let's talk about what's next, because we

175
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: got to fix this pretty quick. I'm being told by

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: quite a few sources and quite a few Congress people

177
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: that the top Republican at this moment is represented to Scalise.

178
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: Steve Scalise is working behind the scenes to replace Ken

179
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy as a speaker. And this is something that Steve Scalise,

180
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: who is also the House Majority leader, he's a Republican

181
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, is seeking support hard like full court press

182
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: to replace Kevin McCarthy. Sources are now saying, and have

183
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: also now said to Fox News that Scalise has been

184
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: making calls behind the scenes to shore up support ahead

185
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: of a possible vote as early as Wednesday afternoon. Now

186
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: that timeline may work. It could be later, but what

187
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: we know is Representative Matt Gates, who introduced the motion

188
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: to vacate against McCarthy that ultimately led to his removal.

189
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Total reporters yesterday afternoon that Scalise would be quote a

190
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: phenomenal speaker. Now that's the only person that he has

191
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: said that he would support publicly, besides I think Donald Trump,

192
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: and there's no chance in how Donald Trump's going to

193
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: do this. McCarthy was temporarily replaced, as you know, by

194
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: Representative Patrick McHenry, Republican, North Carolina. The new Speaker pro

195
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: tim of the House will preside over the chamber until

196
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: a new speaker is elected. Now, McCarthy has made it

197
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: clear I'm not going to run, and even mentioned or

198
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: alluded to the fact he may just resign from Congress altogether.

199
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll do that. I don't really

200
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: care if he decides to resign, fine, it doesn't bother

201
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: me a bit. Representative Greg Murphy, Republican, North Carolina also

202
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: said he has plans to have a candidate forum and

203
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: a vote on who would succeed McCarthy again. He says

204
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: this is important for us to do as fast as possible,

205
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: possibly as early as Wednesday. Eight Republicans quitting Gates who

206
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: joined all Democrats and voting in McCarthy's continued speakership, have

207
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: also alluded to the fact, several of them that they

208
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: would support Steve Scalise, now the House majority whip. Tom

209
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Emmer suggested also that Scalise would be make a good speaker.

210
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Scalise told reporters following a Republican leadership meeting that he

211
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to quote announce, which is probably very smart.

212
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm also being told that Steve Scalise has made it

213
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: clear that he would only want this job for the

214
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: rest of the term, okay, the rest of the term

215
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: meeting until the next election, and then he would not

216
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: want re election. He would say, hey, I'll continue this

217
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: congressional term of this Congress and that's it. Now, there's

218
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons why that may happen. Many people

219
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: don't know this, but Steve Scalise has been diagnosed with

220
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: blood cancer earlier this year. People have asked, hey, is

221
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: he physically have to do the job a speaker? He

222
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: said he feels great when he was asked that question,

223
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: but he does have h He has been diagnosed with

224
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: blood cancer. He's obviously in treatment for that. That's another

225
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: reason why I think he could say, Hey, I'm a

226
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: guy that you can trust. I'm a guy that cares

227
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: about this country. I'm fighting for my life with his

228
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: blood cancer. I want to serve my country. I have

229
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: served my country, have almost died for my country when

230
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: I was shot, and I am a guy that is

231
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: going to do whatever I can to help this country.

232
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: Steve Scalise is liked by a lot of people. There's

233
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: also this pipe dream which is annoying to me. And

234
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: that pipe dream is this idea that Donald Trump would

235
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: be the speaker. This is a waste of time. Donald

236
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Trump is not going to be the speaker. And this

237
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: is part of the unrealistic mentality of some of the

238
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: Republican Party who float this. Sean Hannity asked Jim Jordan

239
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: about this last night.

240
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 5: And people, and you do not need to compromise on

241
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: last question. I've now heard from a number of people.

242
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: I know for a fact Donald Trump has been contacted

243
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: about possibly him being an interim speaker. Is that a reality.

244
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 7: I don't know, he'd be great, but I actually I

245
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 7: want Donald Trump to be the next president United States.

246
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 7: If he wants to be speaking, I want him to

247
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 7: be president.

248
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: He's still going to be running for president.

249
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 7: That's where we need him is at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.

250
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 7: If he wants to be a speaker, then that's fine too.

251
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I think you do want temporarily to

252
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: get at the same time.

253
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 7: You can do it at the same time.

254
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 8: I get to that.

255
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: You probably could, all right, Thank you, Jim.

256
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I love by the way, how Jim Jordan handled that,

257
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: like you can't do both the same time. You can't

258
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: do both at the same time. He's right. So this

259
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: is now where we are. We are at a point

260
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: where we don't have a speaker. We need a speaker.

261
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: We need somebody that everybody can agree on, and we

262
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: need to move on from this quick now. If we

263
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: do that quickly, then are we in a good place

264
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: moving forward? I think we will be representative Gaminez. He

265
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: was asked about all of this and about the chaos

266
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: and within the Republican Party and just how chaotic the

267
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Republican Party has gotten. I want you to hear how

268
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: he explained it in his words, because this is what

269
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: we have to move forward to listen, I don't.

270
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 9: Think you know, McCarthy got up, by the way, said

271
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 9: he wasn't gonna that he that he wasn't going to

272
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 9: be runny anymore. And then there was a lot of

273
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 9: emotion in that room. A lot of people are very

274
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 9: disappointed Sawtiers. You know, look, he's been a really good speaker,

275
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 9: he's a really good person, and he didn't deserve what happened.

276
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: In the day.

277
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 10: Gates needed Democrats to get this done. Yeah, so what

278
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 10: do you think of that dynamic, the fact that Democrats

279
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 10: helped him do this? Do you find it ironic at all?

280
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 10: Another criticism? I find it hypocritical.

281
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 9: And he said that somehow McCarthy made some kind of

282
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 9: deal with the Democrats to save his speakership winning in

283
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 9: fact did not obviously, but then Gates needed those same

284
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 9: Democrats in order to house McCarthy. That shows the depocrisy

285
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 9: of Matt Gates, and that's why he's not really well

286
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 9: liked within our conference. Matt Gates is about Matt Gates,

287
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 9: not about the American people, not about the Republican Party.

288
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: He's certainly not about America.

289
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 9: It's all about mac Gates.

290
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: It's all about Matt Gates. That seems to be the

291
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: consensus by a lot of Republicans. Remember, if it wasn't

292
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: for the eight Republicans voting with all of the Democrats,

293
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't do this. So these bigs Bucks, Birchett, Crane, Gates,

294
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Good Mace, Rosendale, they all voted with Democrats to make

295
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: this happen. And there are a lot of Congress people

296
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: now and I really don't think Gates cares. He loves

297
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: this limelight, this moment, and he's going to enjoy every

298
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: part of this. Kevin McCarthy, I gotta go back to

299
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: what he said now, I've made peace with it. Kevin

300
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy says, I will not seek to regain the Speaker's gavel.

301
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: I've made peace with it. That's my plan. You guys

302
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: can have it. The house is on fire. Knock yourself

303
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: out right.

304
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: That's ended up being the fifty fifth Speaker of the

305
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: House one of the greatest honors. I loved every minute.

306
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: And the one thing I will tell you is doing

307
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: the right thing isn't always easy, but it is necessary.

308
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't regret standing up for choosing governing over grievance.

309
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: It is my responsibility, it is my job. I do

310
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise.

311
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: I don't regret my efforts to build coalitions and find solutions.

312
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: I was raised to solve problems, not create them. So

313
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: I may have lost a vote today, but as I

314
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: walk out of this chamber, I feel fortunate to have

315
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: served the American people. I leave the Speakership with a

316
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: sense of pride, accomplishment, and yes optimism. From the day

317
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: I enter politics, my mission has always been to make

318
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: tomorrow better than today. I fought for what I believe in,

319
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: and I believe in this country of America. My goals

320
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: have not changed. My ability to fight is just in

321
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: a different form. You need two eighteens. Unfortunately, four percent

322
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: of our conference can join all the Democrats and dictate

323
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: who can be the Republican speaker in this House. I

324
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: don't think that rule is good for the institution, but

325
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: apparently I'm the only one. I can continue to fight.

326
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: Maybe in a different manner. I will not run for

327
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: speaker again. I'll have the conference pick somebody else. I

328
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: hope you realize that every day I did the job,

329
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: regardless whether you underestimated me or not, I wanted to

330
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: do it. With a smile. I grew to enjoy you,

331
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: even on your toughest days and your questions. I could

332
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: always tell what day it was based upon your question.

333
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: Monday you would ask if I could pass the bill.

334
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: Tuesday was whether the rule would pass. Wednesday was the

335
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: greatest challenge ever to my speakership. And Thursday, when we

336
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: passed the bill, you didn't think it was a very

337
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: big deal. And it'll all started again on Friday. Yeah,

338
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, I wouldn't change a thing. I do believe

339
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: I got a new portrait in there too, of Teddy Roosevelt.

340
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: You all know the man in the arena, one of

341
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: my favorite parts of it. Who errors, who comes up

342
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: short again and again, but there is no effort without

343
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: error and shortcoming. Who spends himself in a worthy cause,

344
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: who knows the triumph of high achievement, and if he fails,

345
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: at least he fails well daring greatly. I always like

346
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: to take a risk.

347
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: I always like to take a risk. Kevin McCarthy will

348
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: not seek to regain a speaker's gabble. He made that clear.

349
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: That were his closing remarks, basically saying my good luck.

350
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: He also alluded to maybe just leaving Congress saying I

351
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: believe I can continue to fight, maybe in a different manner.

352
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance he's going to

353
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: cash out of Washington and he'll cash right back in

354
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: as a lobbyist and make a killing. He's probably if

355
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: i'm again, and this is the Kevin McCarthy that I

356
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: know my gut is exactly what he's going to do.

357
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent what he's going to do. I'm

358
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: gonna cash in. I'm gonna make a bunch of money.

359
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: You guys didn't let me do it the way I

360
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: wanted to, and therefore this is what I've got moving forward.

361
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: I wish this wouldn't have happened this way. I think

362
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: the timing was terrible. I think giving a free pass

363
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden on the days in Federal Court and

364
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party, giving this news cycle to the

365
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: media and the Democrats was just amazing. I think there's

366
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of people out there that are just totally

367
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: out to lunch and how it's so unrealistic about reality.

368
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: An example of that is this draft Trump movement. Donald

369
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't want to be Speaker of the House. I

370
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: want to make that clear. Yet there is a bunch

371
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: of people that are obsessed with it. I mean there's

372
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of people that are obsessed with something that,

373
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: let me say, this way is not going to happen.

374
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: And there are people that love this idea of oh,

375
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: let's put Trump in there. It's not going to happen.

376
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: We look dumb when we have conversations about things that

377
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: aren't going to happen. Last not on Hannity, this was

378
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: what they.

379
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 5: Said history on Capitol Hill tonight, eight Republican lawmakers joining

380
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 5: all two hundred and eight House Democrats to remove Kevin

381
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 5: McCarthy as House Speaker the first time in our nation's history.

382
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 5: And McCarthy will not seek the speakership again now, sources

383
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: telling me at this hour some House Republicans have been

384
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 5: in contact with and have started an effort to draft

385
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 5: former President Donald Trump to be the next speaker. And

386
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 5: I have been told that President Trump might be open

387
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 5: to helping the Republican Party at least in the short term,

388
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 5: if necessary, if it's needed anyway. But here's former Speaker

389
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: McCarthy earlier tonight. Let's take a look.

390
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: I believe I can continue.

391
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: To I want to just say when we start off

392
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: by saying these things like right that, well there's a

393
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: plan to draft him, it will not happen. We look stupid,

394
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: we look incompetent. This is a problem. The RNC chair

395
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: has come out saying that the American people are the

396
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: ones who really lost yesterday. Their business isn't being done

397
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: when Washington is shut down. I can't disagree with that,

398
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: so we better get our act together quick. Matt Gates

399
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: had his day, he made his point right, but the

400
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: idea that we can somehow do this and win is

401
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: a disaster. The RNC chairwoman saying exactly that. I agree.

402
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 11: Listen, you play Matt Gates and the rebels on the

403
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 11: conservative side should they have not taken this step in

404
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 11: their frustration.

405
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 6: I'm going to be a happy warrior like Kevin McCarthy,

406
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 6: and I'm going to say, let's just get the business

407
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 6: of the American people done. Let's get this speaker vote done.

408
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 6: Let's make sure we don't have this motion to vacate

409
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 6: so we don't have chaos again. We can't do this

410
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 6: next year. We cannot do this and win. If this

411
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 6: happens again, we are jeopardizing a very small House majority.

412
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 6: What I will say to the individuals who did this yesterday,

413
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 6: who were fundraising through the whole process, I really hope

414
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 6: that every dollar they raise they give to those eighteen

415
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 6: Republicans sitting in districts that Biden won, because those are

416
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 6: the people who they put in jeopardy yesterday. When we're

417
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 6: not talking about Biden, we are not winning, and we

418
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 6: need to be talking about the failure of the Biden

419
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 6: administration every single day and what we're going to do

420
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 6: to make the lives of the American people doing here.

421
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 11: You Rona, you said it. We'll leave it right there.

422
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for joining us. We really do

423
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 11: appreciate it. On a momentous day, no doubt. In the

424
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 11: aftermath of mccafee being booted out to Speaker.

425
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: She says it, and I agree with her, we cannot

426
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: win doing this. If this happens again, we are jeopardizing

427
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: a very small House majority, and the American people will

428
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: not vote for this next year. She is right on that.

429
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: So did we get rid of somebody we want to

430
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: get rid of? Yeah. Senator John Kennedy, he was asked

431
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: about this and the House side, and he gave some

432
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: excellent advice. Senator John Kennedy is a man that I

433
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for, a man that I've

434
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: got to spend some time with recently, and he's really

435
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: smart and understands this country and the average American. He

436
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: was asked about the House side of things. He's a senator.

437
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: Here's what he said his advice, and it's spot on.

438
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 8: I don't have a lot of advice for my House

439
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: colleagues other than this, follow your heart, but take your

440
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 8: brain with you. The American people expect us to govern,

441
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 8: and in order to govern, you have to have a leadership,

442
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 8: and you've got to stick with that leadership to give

443
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 8: that leadership a chance. I'd also advise all of my

444
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 8: House colleagues to be sure and take their mins.

445
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: This is a hardcore conservative that's saying that, and a

446
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: hardcore conservative that's saying get it together. In the nicest way,

447
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: we possibly can't get it together. Brian kill Meat over

448
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: at Fox had a sparring match with Representative Burchett, one

449
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: of those eight. I want you to hear part of

450
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: their conversation.

451
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 7: Dam I read your quote.

452
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: You said you're going to pray about it. I want

453
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: to talk to you about it, and somehow he construes

454
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: that I'm a Christian. I'm not going to offend somebody

455
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: from I simply read his quote back. I thought there

456
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: was still an opening, and I wanted to talk to

457
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: him about it. He never mentioned anything when we are

458
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: communicating like that.

459
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 12: So you said, you said, part of the reason he

460
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 12: voted like that is because you felt he was mocking

461
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 12: you correct, so with person.

462
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's and that's not accurate, and that's any

463
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: of that. I asked him about the six weeks off.

464
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 4: I asked him about, wow, we didn't have a term

465
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 4: limits bill up and continued on down the line, and

466
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: it was always not his fault. You know, leadership has responsibilities.

467
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 4: The butt stopped somewhere, and in the House of Representatives,

468
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 4: it stop stops and starts at the Speaker's office. And

469
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: clearly that's not happening, and clearly you know you don't

470
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: want to continue to make excuses for him. But the

471
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: truth is his his approval writing around the country was

472
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: not very high. And I do not I don't represent

473
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 4: the people of Congress. I represent the people in time.

474
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: I got it.

475
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 12: What do you think is going to do for the

476
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 12: Republican Party and chances of holding on to leadership and

477
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 12: the majority when it looks like you having You're the

478
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 12: ring leader of a circus led by Matt Gates who

479
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 12: likes to blow things up but not offer any new ideas.

480
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 12: Are you happy following Matt Gates? Is that your leader?

481
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 4: I'm not following Matt Gates. I made my own decision.

482
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 4: I didn't ask.

483
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 12: But if Mat Gates didn't challenge, you weren't going to challenge?

484
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 12: Do what if Matt Gates didn't stand up? You were

485
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 12: going to challenge?

486
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: You know what I believe, I believe I would have

487
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 4: And they're, well, please, are you're praying.

488
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 7: About it one minute?

489
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 12: The next minute you're going to lead an insurgency.

490
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: So you don't think that praying about it's important? Is

491
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 4: that what you're saying?

492
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 12: You going to vote with Matt Gates and the next

493
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 12: minute you're going to lead an insurgency.

494
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 4: Listen, you got to predetermined answer to everything.

495
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 12: No I have I have an opinion about what's going on?

496
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 7: Do you have an opinion too?

497
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: And you talk over me every time I try to

498
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: make it.

499
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: Make your point?

500
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: The point is is that we're thirty three trillion dollars

501
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: in debt. This speaker was woefully, woefully lacking in leadership skills.

502
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: He always plays to blame somewhere else. America is going

503
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 4: to be better off with new leadership. Who is it

504
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 4: that probably be Possibly it could be Steve Scalise, It

505
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: could be Alisa Deefan, It could be Roger Williams out

506
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 4: of Texas. It could be Mark Green out of Tennessee.

507
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 12: So they supported the old supported Kevin McCarthy, including the

508
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 12: most conservative guy I know, Jim Jordan. Why are you

509
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 12: smarter than Jim Jordan? And the two hundred and ten

510
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 12: plus Republicans? Why are you smarter?

511
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: I represent my district, brother, and why are you smarter

512
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: than me? You're condemning me because I'm just saying to

513
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 4: stand up on my own and that's I'm not condemning you.

514
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm questioning you.

515
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 4: You don't like being question now, You're just the line

516
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 4: of questioning is very negative. And you know that, and

517
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: I know that you. And when this is all over with,

518
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: when this is all over with and we have a

519
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: new speaker and we're running smooth, let's have this conversation again.

520
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Were you happy with John Bainner.

521
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 4: I wasn't here with John bamer with Paul Ryan. They're

522
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: both rhinos. I mean, why do you they're not. They're

523
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 4: not in my camp anyway, So but I wasn't here

524
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: when they were here.

525
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: So you at.

526
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 12: Fifteen yes for every round you voted with Ken McCarthy.

527
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 12: But you think he's the.

528
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: Problem right now, I sure do. It's part of it.

529
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 4: He's part of this, this whole problem. When you don't

530
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: when you deny that there's a problem, when in this

531
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: dysfunctional Washington brother that you know there's a problem, you

532
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: can't problem. You can't take get past the fact we

533
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: take in five trillion, we spend seven trillion, and this

534
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: and and leadership.

535
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 12: I'm thanks, I say the way you blame Kevin McCarthy

536
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 12: that you're that you're thirty three.

537
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: Trillion dollars in debt. But you're going to get a

538
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: new leader.

539
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 12: I'm sure he's going to solve everything.

540
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: Well, I'm surprised that you get him full credit for

541
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: all the successes because we nine months.

542
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 12: I don't think you should take all the blame.

543
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: Well, why why are we backing it up? We had

544
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: nine months exactly. That's a great point. Why don't we

545
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 4: wait nine months to do something about the wall? Something

546
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: about the budget, something about well we never did anything

547
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: about termline.

548
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:54,960

Speaker 12: He was doing he was doing an awful up and

551
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 12: not enough for you.

552
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
