1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Scott, Shannon, and happy Friday, and thanks

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: to all of you for being well. This toll free.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Our number is eight hundred and nine for one, Shaun,

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: I knew we'd get there, and we're getting there. The

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: latest vote has Kevin McCarthy a two hundred and fourteen votes.

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: He needs two hundred and eighteen, as you know, and

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan got six. Now, there are two other Republicans

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: that did not vote today that had to go home

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: for varying reasons. I believe one congressman's wife was having

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: a baby. That's a pretty good reason to go home.

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: But they are flying back. As my understanding, and according

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: to new sources that I'm talking to, they fully expect

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: to be in session tomorrow. If they don't get this accomplished,

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: they may even happen tonight during my show. And by

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: the way, we have an audience show tonight which is

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. I hope you'll join

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: us for that. You know, I realized because I do

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: pay attention. Sweet baby James keeps me up to speed.

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Linda keeps me up to speed because I don't have

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: an email account, and I don't do social media, and

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, they bring in certain sample copies of of

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: things that people are saying or themes that might be

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: out there. And I realized in all of this, and

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: I said this partly yesterday, is that you know, I'm

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: in the communication business, but clearly my communication skills are lacking,

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: because it's not becoming clear to everybody where I have

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: been throughout this whole process. It's never been about a

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: personality to me that that really never came up. I'm

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: not mad at the twenty people that felt that they

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: needed to fight for more assurances and insurance policies so

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: that we don't get burned again like we got burned.

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, Banner and a bunch of other people over

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the years. We know John. Did you see Banner when

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: he went back? She thought, Gig. I mean, it's just horrible.

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: I never met that man one time in my life

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: where I didn't get halfway close to him. And he

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't just reek of red stale wine and cigarettes like, Oh,

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: he's in the perfect business. Now he's in he's in

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the marijuana business. He belongs there. Maybe that'll help him

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: help his breath. I don't know. Although this did you

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: say when he smoked dope, he get happy, happy, and hungry,

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: right like the seven time. I don't know notice to

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: make you cry more, because if it makes him cry more,

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I tell him to go back to drinking, because he

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: cries an awful lot. I don't know that he ever

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: stopped crying. I wouldn't know the difference, you know, I

48
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: don't get this public display of emotion like that. There's

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: something off with him. But so the assurances have not

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: been right. So let me let me really go back

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: in time, and when I first became aware that this

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem, I had a lot

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: of conversations. I won't reveal private conversations that I had.

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: There are sources. I am a member of the press.

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: I am a talk show host. I've just scribed my

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: job or given my job description out many times. We

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: do news, straight news, investigative reporting. We do opinion. We're

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: out front about it. We do. I'm a conservative. I've

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: been probably the biggest Freedom Caucus supporter over the years

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: of anybody on radio or television that I know of.

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: The great one Mark Levin is up there too, of course,

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: but not many people, not many of us have supported

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: them from day one. And you can ask Mark Meadows,

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: you can ask Jim Jordan, you can ask Andy Biggs.

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: Is mad at me right now? You can ask any

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: of them if I've not been anything but supportive of them,

67
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: and I have been. But anyway, so my involvement in

68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: this process goes back to December and a big part

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: of my vacation time, more than I wanted to spend,

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: was on the phone dealing with this issue with a

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: strong admonition, advice, encouragement that everybody get this all worked

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: out before January third. They didn't do it. There weren't.

73
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: There was not the urgency and motivation that I would

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: have liked to have seen. And I'm not blaming anybody.

75
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not mad at anybody in this process.

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I really am not. And at the end of the day,

77
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, everybody keeps saying the same thing and the

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: same talking points. A lot of the things that you're

79
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: just hearing about had already been mostly discussed and maybe

80
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: if not completely agreed to, certainly were on the table.

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, Kevin was reluctant to give back on the case.

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: For example, the threshold of the motion to vacate, where

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: at first he agreed to five people. No speaker has

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: ever done this in the past. He's now opening himself

85
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: up to a check and balance of his caucus. In

86
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: other words, if he deviates from his commitments to America,

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: if he deviates from the investigations that he has pledged

88
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: to allow Oversight and various committees to conduct, then anyone

89
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: now he reduced it to anyone Republican member can go

90
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: forward with the motion of vacate, which would stop all

91
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: business in the House, and it would be a confidence

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: vote or no confidence vote, depending on how it comes out.

93
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: On Kevin McCarthy. I know that Kevin spent well over

94
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a year putting together as commitments to America. I've gone

95
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: over it and went over yesterday in great specificity, in

96
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: great detail, and he signed his name to it. So

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: that to me is we can hold him accountable in

98
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: ways that no other Republican speakers have ever been held accountable.

99
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: To me, it's never been about Kevin McCarthy. It's never

100
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: been you know, early on, I can tell you that

101
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: there were groups of us that had conversations about a

102
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: lot of people being speaker, and probably the consensus candidate

103
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: of all the people that I know and talk to,

104
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: was Jim Jordan. Kevin McCarthy knows this, and Jim Jordan

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: from day one was an absolute dead set, no way

106
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: not going to happen. And I don't think he'll mind

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: me sharing this with you, but he said he says

108
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: nobody should want that job. That was one of the

109
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: first things he said. He goes honestly, Sean, you know,

110
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: if you asked me to run for Senate and I

111
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: didn't want to run, I feel where God wants me

112
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: to be. I really want to run this investigation in

113
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee, and to be frank, there is nobody

114
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: who can run it better than him. And that's the

115
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: investigation into whether the FBI has been politicized or the

116
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: DOJ has been weaponized. So what I've been trying to

117
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: tell people is all of these issues that have come

118
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: up and all of the concessions that have been made,

119
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: all of this has been on the table for at

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: least a month that I know of, and I've spoken

121
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: to many of the people behind the scenes about all

122
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: of this. Like there's been more concessions made in the

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours in an effort to close the deal.

124
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: It's actually in writing. What am I? What are you

125
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: telling me to look at? Now? Adjourn till ten? Yeah, tonight, Yeah,

126
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: which is I'll tell you why it's a journ till ten?

127
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Would you like to know? I would like to know. Okay,

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: So the final tally is two fourteen to two twelve,

129
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: but there are two Republican supporters of McCarthy that are

130
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: flying back to Washington, and now the real numbers two sixteen.

131
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: That means there are six people now left holding out.

132
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: And I've asked a few of them, and I'm going

133
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to I'm not going to divulge a private conversation I've

134
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: had with some of the members, and some people actually

135
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: didn't like the fact that I was. I had an

136
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: aggressive debate with Lauren Bobert. I like Lauren Bobert, and

137
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: we put her on the program, We've supported her numerous times.

138
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: Have we not lend up both on radio and TV?

139
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: We have, and through the campaign everything, and and I

140
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: still like just because we have a disagreement doesn't mean

141
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't like her. Matt Gates just hates. He just

142
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: hates Kevin McCarthy. You say Kevin McCarthy is It's like

143
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Alka Selter and water. So but that's fine. He's felt

144
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: like that for a long long time, and he's told

145
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: me that for a long long time. I won't divulge

146
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: the private conversation on'd with him, and all these conversations

147
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: of buy and large been very friendly. I've called a

148
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: couple of people out because a couple of people that

149
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: I really thought should be looking for solutions, people that

150
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: got everything that they initially asked for, that we're moving

151
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: the bar, and that pissed me off. You know when

152
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: you say that you want the right to vacate and

153
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: then you get it, and then you demand three new things,

154
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: or you walk him the last minute with a list

155
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: of thirty things which literally happened, which would render the

156
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: speaker a figurehead. At that point, I don't really have

157
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: patience for some of these people. So to the extent

158
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: that I've been following this, it's spent a lot longer,

159
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and I realized I did not communicate this well enough

160
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: to people. And here's where I am. If the Republicans

161
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: follow through on their investigations, that is the origins of COVID,

162
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: that would be Anthony Fauci, that would be is the

163
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: FBI politicized, and the DOJ weapidized. I personally think we

164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: need a Church committee or something similar because of what

165
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: we do already know about how the FBI has been politicized, etc.

166
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: But that's a different story for a different day. Looking

167
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: into the Biden family syndicate and Joe Biden's lies about

168
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: never talking to Hunter about his business background, really dealing

169
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: with him leveraging a billion dollars to get a prosecutor

170
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: in Ukraine fired, knowing damn well that that prosecutor was

171
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: looking into his son being paid millions that had no experience.

172
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Hundred mindit, he had no experience. So there's a lot

173
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: of work to do here, and I understand people's suspicious.

174
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: What I think that I've not communicated well is when

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: you look at the motion to vacate and one member

176
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: is now the threshold. When you look at the concessions

177
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: to the Freedom Caucus, you know, for example, of more

178
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: members on the Rules Committee that has never happened to

179
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. I've supported the Freedom Caucus from day one.

180
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: They have more positions of prominence, more say than ever before.

181
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: Or the pledge on term limits having a vote there,

182
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the pledge on voting on the border, the pledge on

183
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: appropriations and that every fourteen of the appropriations votes will

184
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: take place independently and separately, or the ability of any

185
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: one member to offer floor amendments during the appropriations process.

186
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: None of this has ever happened before. So these are

187
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: great changes, institutional changes. And I would argue, you can

188
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: call it an insurance policy. And I'll add this too,

189
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: And I've said this all week, nobody wants to hear it.

190
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: If Kevin doesn't keep his promises, I will lead the

191
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: effort to remove him. I will say, you didn't keep

192
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: your word. So between the investigations now, just the headlines

193
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: on his commitments to America. On the economy, fighting inflation,

194
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: creating jobs, making energy independence a top priority, reducing the

195
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: price of heating and cooling your home and the price

196
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: at the pump, strengthening our supply chain, ending dependence on China,

197
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: securing our border, combating illegal immigration, Supporting our police but

198
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: still cutting spending in Washington, Refunding the police, not defunding

199
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: the police, holding prosecutors accountable to support nobail laws, putting

200
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: a crack down on DA's and prosecutors that will literally

201
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: are letting people out even though people selling Fenton all

202
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: to our kids for right out loud, it's insane. We're

203
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna its. Parental Bill of Rights is gonna move forward.

204
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Every student can succeed. School choice is on their commitments

205
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: to America. Telecare, new healthcare options, modernization of our medical

206
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: care system important. It is the future, whether you like

207
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: it or not. I like telecare. I like being able

208
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: to call my doctor. I'm not feeling this, this, this,

209
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: and this. What do you think do you feel that

210
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: that that? Yes, yes, no, okay, this is probably what

211
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: you have. I'll call you in a prescription, you know what.

212
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to get my ass up and go

213
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: drive forty five minutes to my doctor, which is how

214
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: far away he is. I like that idea, holding government accountable,

215
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: preserving our constitutional freedoms. It's all on paper. And for

216
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, I talk about the liberals. I hate Donald Trump. No,

217
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I hate him hate, I double hate him, and then no, no, no,

218
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I triple hate him, my quadruple hate. I hate him

219
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: more than you hate him. And it's like you got

220
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: this group of people, some on radio and TV, and

221
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: they just show voters they're just not telling you the truth.

222
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: And they just weren't involved in it. Perhaps is maybe

223
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's utter ignorance on their part and some even

224
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: attacking me, and they have no clue as to what

225
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: has actually gone on. And at no point in this process.

226
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: The commitment to America is everything. I believe it is

227
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: the America First MAGA agenda. The same with the investigations.

228
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: They're all needed, they're all warranted, they're all you know,

229
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: they've been necessary for some time. And here's the last

230
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: thing I'll say. You know what, Republicans got to learn

231
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: something when you win, you got to learn to win.

232
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: And maybe the lesson out of this is they should

233
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: have done this before January third. But we're now getting

234
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: to the point. Kevin McCarthy A two fourteen, if he

235
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: really has two more votes, that will happen tonight. That's

236
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: why that A journs until I guess nine thirty tonight,

237
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: and we'll be live, so we'll be covering it all anyway.

238
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: So we're there. I think you'll get the two other people,

239
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't keep his promises, we'll hold them accountable.

240
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: It's really now you have the mechanism to do that.

241
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: But we had it for a while. Now that's my

242
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: point to you, and nobody ever seems to want to

243
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: talk about that part. And there's been a lot of

244
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: demogoguing by people and a lot of bar moving by people.

245
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: That has been very frustrating on my part because I

246
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: kept asking, what do you want? What do you need?

247
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Tell us what do you think will be better for

248
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: the institution. I asked all those questions. I talk to

249
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: all these people, all right, as we continue. Two fourteen

250
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: now the number for Kevin McCarthy until sometime later tonight

251
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: around probably around Hannity time. They'll be back in session.

252
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: We'll be monitoring the developments. We have two absences. Buck

253
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: and Hunt are out of pocket. They're flying back for

254
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: tonight's vote. My understanding is both will also join the

255
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and fourteen. That leaves six no votes among

256
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: the six Andy Biggs Uh Congresswoman Bobert, Congressman Crane Gates

257
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: Good Harris Rosendale, Montana. To get to two eighteen, you

258
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: would need two of those six people that would have

259
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: to join with the two hundred and sixteen that will

260
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: be there tonight. Whether they can make that happen tonight,

261
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Will it happen I'm pretty confident at

262
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: this point we're not going to get this close to

263
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: the finish line and not cross the plane. You know,

264
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: across the plane means right, Linda, Oh yeah, what use

265
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: it all the time? What did you get across that plane?

266
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I'm crossing that plane? What plane? Here?

267
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I come? What does it mean? Watch out? It's like

268
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: an happen Costello bit. We'll continue, oh hind twenty five

269
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: down to the top of the hour, big movement in

270
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Washington to day as we finally expected. I knew we'd

271
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: get to this point at some point. Um, I know.

272
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm at a point where I guess I'm

273
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: just in a different spot because of all the conversations

274
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: that I've had since December on this very different, very topic.

275
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: If I have any frustration, it's that it didn't happen sooner.

276
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: It was all preventable. It could have been worked out

277
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: behind closed doors. I don't know. Maybe it's just because

278
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm naturally more of a private person. I just you know,

279
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: this this family business that you deal with, that's only

280
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: family business. That that's not meant for your friends or

281
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: your your neighbors or other people in your life. It's

282
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, family business. Now you have a family member

283
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: there's a problem. Sometimes you keep it within the family

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: so as to not embarrass a family member, but you

285
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: work with them behind the scenes to help them. And

286
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: and that's the kind's not that keeps you up at night.

287
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean literally, this is the stuff where you can't sleep.

288
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: Oh that's all true. I mean you know what I

289
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: naively once believed. Oh you raise your kids once they

290
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: graduated from college. Your job is done. How stupid is that?

291
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: That is so dumb on my part. Just just the opposite.

292
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: You get more worried, you get more concerned. There's so

293
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: much bad stuff out there, a lot, man, man, And

294
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm not worry about like you're a young parent. I

295
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: really do. And I think about now you are a

296
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: tiger mom and you I'm not sure I subscribe to that.

297
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: I believe that you're going to be investigated as a

298
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: domestic terrorist. I already happen because of your appearances, vocalness,

299
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: your vocal appearances at school board meetings. So we know

300
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: whether we know what the FBI is doing on that.

301
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: In that regard, she comes again, and if we ever

302
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: get to eighteen Jim Jim Jordan's probably going to see

303
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: your name there quite a bit. I love Jim Jordan. Guy.

304
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Everybody loves Jim Jordan. Yeah, because he actually is a

305
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: man of his word. And there's like, you know, not

306
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people like that. Oh. The fascinating

307
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: thing to me about all of this. Do you know

308
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: how many people went to Jim Jordan and said, Jim,

309
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: why don't you do the job? I think it was

310
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: Lauren Boebert. People think that I don't like Lauren Bober.

311
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: I like Lauren. I comment on that for a minute

312
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: as a woman. Yeah, I mean, oh boy, I here,

313
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: here we go. A lot of people had a problem

314
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: with the fact that they felt that you over talked

315
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: her and that it was a heated exchange, handy hot seat.

316
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: And I watched the interview several times. I will say

317
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: it was uncomfortable. It was it was meant to be.

318
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: And I think that you acknowledge that after the interview

319
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: and the next day to your credit. Um, I think

320
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: that we all have moments of brilliance and moments maybe

321
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: we can do a little better. I don't feel that

322
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: way perfectly, and again as my opinion, so I'm getting

323
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: to the good part to be patient. I know it's hard, hard, um,

324
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: but you know this is one of those moments where

325
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: you had opinions, she had opinions, and you discussed them.

326
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: We are allowed to be friends and colleagues and partners

327
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: and have differences of opinion. That's okay. She got her

328
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: point across, You got your point across. There was a

329
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: digging a job here and there. We keep it moving.

330
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: She's a good congresswoman. She'll continue to be a Coconniss woman.

331
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: And I wish you're the best. Shit very tough race

332
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: and which we support it right, and if she finds

333
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: herself in a tough race down the line, I would

334
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: support her in a minute. I think she's done a

335
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: great job. I think she's courageous, and I don't really

336
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: For me, it's never been personal. For a lot of people,

337
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: it got personal. By the way, I want to remind

338
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: you about friends at My Pillow. They've brought back their

Speaker 1: my Pillow products as well. So this is where we

356
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: are and we'll see what happens. By the way, Congressman

357
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: Chip Roy, it was very instrumental in bridging this gap,

358
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: very instrumental, and I've appealed to some people. I've actually

359
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: had some arguments with people that you know, I'm friendly

360
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: with on this program, and I don't really care. I'm

361
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: just like, tell me what you want. And when I

362
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: would hear you know, nothing but crickets. It was pissing

363
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: me off because I feel the American people were getting

364
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: hurt at that point. If there's something specific you needed,

365
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: and there were people that gave me very specific things

366
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: that they wanted, and I appreciated their honesty. And then

367
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: I communicated it to you know, every side, and I

368
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: tried to, you know, do my little part. I By

369
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the way, I don't want to overstate a part I

370
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: played in this. I'm just saying I talked to these guys,

371
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: a number of them, and with the goal of them

372
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: following through on their commitments to America and following through

373
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: on their promise to investigate. We only have one half

374
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: of one branch of government here, and I want them

375
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: to make the most of it. A line that I

376
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: used with a lot of them was you will either

377
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: all succeed together or you will all fail together. And

378
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: that's just a fact if they follow through on the

379
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: promises that I think are kind of locked in cement

380
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: the investigations, the commitments to America, and some of the

381
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: new things that have been brought on that we've talked

382
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: about at nauseum, investigations, votes on term limits, on immigration,

383
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: motion to vacate any one member of threshold, etc. You know, look,

384
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: you can go back to our conservative Servetis Solutions claucus,

385
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: right I did. What was that twenty fourteen that we

386
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: wrote it over Christmas twenty thirteen? Economy implement the macpenny plan,

387
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: our friend Connie Mac. Now it's got to be a nickel.

388
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: That was a great idea, though great it was. If

389
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: you took a penny out of every single spending dollar,

390
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: you would have balanced the budget in less than seven years.

391
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: Now it's probably gonna be five cents, maybe ten cents

392
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: out of every dollar to ever get there. We healthcare

393
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: and health savings accounts. Now you can add tell Acare

394
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: to that. Or our good friend doctor Josh Umber in Wichita,

395
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: and of course as healthcare cooperative, which has been duplicated

396
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: well over a thousand times across the country with great success.

397
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: You only paid fifty bucks a month as an adult

398
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: for unlimited doctor visits. He negotiates directly with pharmaceutical companies.

399
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: If you have high blood pressure, you leave his office

400
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: with your blood pressure medicine and you paid five bucks

401
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: for it. You know, it's just a great system. Tell

402
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: a medicine, you know, it's great that I can call

403
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: my doctor and not drive forty five minutes. We were

404
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: talking about this in fourteen term limits. That was item

405
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: number four, if my memory served me correctly, six years

406
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: in Congress, two terms in the Senate. That's it, Education,

407
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: school choice, Immigration, secure our boarders first. That was all

408
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: on our Conservative Solution caucus. That was back in twenty fourteen.

409
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: What year is this now? Eight years later? It's terrible. Yeah,

410
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: almost going on year nine, you know, and I love

411
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: these wannabes out there. They do all they want to

412
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: do is hanators. You know. They know nothing about this

413
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: process nothing. They know nothing about what has been discussed

414
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: and what was being asked for. They know nothing about

415
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: They don't even have a source in Washington. I've spoken

416
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: to all of the key players in this throughout this

417
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: process at some point or another, and some are mad

418
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: at me now, and others have actually said, that makes

419
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And the idea was that you

420
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the American people get served, and at the end of

421
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: the day, the equation is what is in the best

422
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: interest of the American people, you know? And then I

423
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: hear over and over again, I keep hearing, well, we

424
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: can't have another John Bayner. Yeah, damn right, nobody wants

425
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: another John Bayner, you know, or you know Paul Ryan

426
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: when he remember we had all these show votes on

427
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: repealing replacing Obamacare, then when it mattered, it didn't happen. Well, Hannity,

428
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: we don't need another omnibus. Don't conflate what the Republicans

429
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: in the Senate did. That McCarthy and every Republican in

430
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: the House was against, and we were outspoken about it

431
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: before we went on vacation. It was a bad idea.

432
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: It was bad from the beginning. But you got to

433
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: get to a point here where common sense and a

434
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: common goal wins out here the great irony in the

435
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: And again, I'm pretty objective to this process. There's no

436
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: emotion in this. For me, there's no personality. It's not personal.

437
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: It's business. And this is about the business of making

438
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: this a better country. It's about the business of them

439
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: being public servants and serving you, the American people. It's

440
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: the business of conservatism applied works. So I kept reinforcing,

441
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this all week that the commitments

442
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: to America are a lock. They will vote on those items,

443
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: those items will likely not become law until we get

444
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the Senate back in the White House back, but we've

445
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: got to do that too. And then it's also about

446
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: these investigations, all of this signed off on now to

447
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: have the assurances that the twenty one and they got

448
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: them all. Chip Roy will bring us, you know, as

449
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: inside the investigation, inside the negotiations as he wants, but

450
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: he played a massive role in all of this. What

451
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: are they going to accuse him of being a rhino? No,

452
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: and I don't fault the people for wanting assurances that

453
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: we don't get another baner. I don't. I really don't

454
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: fault them for that. However, when you have the assurances,

455
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: and you have your list, and your list has agreed to,

456
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: you don't add another fifteen items to the list. That's

457
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: when I get frustrated. If I do a business deal,

458
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: and I do some business deals and then we agree

459
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: to terms, and then somebody comes back and day, I

460
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: want these other five things that never But that doesn't

461
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: work in my world. It's like, Okay, it's called negotiating

462
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: in good faith, and at some point here there were

463
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: some that I felt did not negotiate in good faith. However,

464
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: you know what, it's time to move on. They got

465
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: work to do. There's no grudges here. Kevin McCarthy can't

466
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: hold a grudge if he wanted to, because if he does,

467
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: the threshold is one, and that is the motion to vacate,

468
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: which could happen. By the way, you want to know

469
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: a really frightening thought. We don't have a speaker right now,

470
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: so that means Patty Murray was sworn in the Senate

471
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: president pro tempt this week, making her second in line

472
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: to the presidency until a new House speaker is named.

473
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: I there's a frightening scenario for me, even for the

474
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: short period of time that it's going to be in play.

475
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't see everybody laughing. Oh dude. I just said

476
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: to Katy we were in the break and I was like,

477
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: we were earlier before the show and I was like, listen.

478
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: I was like, Patty Murray is one scary option. I'm like,

479
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: this is who's next in line to run the country?

480
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: God forbid? I mean that is it's no good. Yeah,

481
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: you know what this Let me go to Mike and

482
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina because he might help me make my point better.

483
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: Mike and North Carolina, how are you, sir? Hey Sean

484
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: One time caller. Yes, sir, I'm listening our first time caller.

485
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Welcome on board. Happy new Year, Happy new Year. Hey,

486
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: I just had a real quick observation. You know, we're

487
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: talking conservative principles. And here's where I come down on this.

488
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: So when I look at a guy like Kevin McCarthy

489
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: and I look at his Conservative Review liberty score, he

490
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: comes in at around fifty four percent. I don't even

491
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: know where where does the political liberty score come from.

492
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. So that's from that's from

493
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Conservative Review. So he comes in at the fifty four percent.

494
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: When I look at the twenty holdouts, there are eleven

495
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: that come in at an A rating, so in the

496
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: ninety percent conservative that they vote for conservative values and

497
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: conservative principles. Three come in at B and then the

498
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: four newly elected aren't rated yet. When I when I

499
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: look at the track record of those individuals and I

500
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: compare them with Kevin McCarthy as a conservative, because I'm

501
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: done with the Republican Party, I tend to side with

502
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: those twenty holdouts. Let me ask you this because I

503
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: think they are important questions. Kevin's made his promises on

504
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: the investigations. Do you agree with them. I do, and

505
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: I've been listening and then again, all right, then let

506
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: me ask you another question. You've read the Commitments to America.

507
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: I've read them on air. Do you agree with that?

508
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: Is that what we as conservative believe in? By the way,

509
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: Linda post the Conservative Solution Caucus thing as I wrote

510
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: it in twenty fourteen and put it up on a

511
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: website on Hanada dot com. But do you agree with

512
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: the Commitments to America Because I is a conservative due

513
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: I do, absolutely, but I but what I think we

514
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: have a problem with is when we continue to put

515
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: guys like Kevin McCarthy or a Lindsay Graham who comes

516
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: in at forty three percent, Lindsay Graham endorses dun control.

517
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: How are we putting them fret and center on your show,

518
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: on other shows and saying, hey, this is what the

519
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: Republican Party believes when they when those are the guys

520
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: that turn image stabbus in the back at every opportunity,

521
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: here is where maybe maybe because I was involved in

522
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: this and I know where we ended up. All of

523
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: the things that you just told me you agree with.

524
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm not a Republican either, I

525
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: don't want to be a Republican. I can't stand the

526
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: Republican Party as it's currently configured. But remember Kevin also

527
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: has to deal with the Tuesday Group, the Study Group, moderates,

528
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: and even liberal Republicans. So's he's got a small margin

529
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: and he's got a thread of needle here. So I

530
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: don't envy anybody taking that job, to be honest, But

531
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: the bottom line for me is now that the agenda

532
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: is set, I feel like and there's no wiggle room

533
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: for him to get out. I'll use Matt Gates's term.

534
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: He's in a straight jacket and there's a mechanism to

535
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: get rid of him if he if he deviates. So

536
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: we have it all set, and to me, it's like

537
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: once that's that's now lockdown. Now it's time to get

538
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: to work. I'll give you the left work. And I

539
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: completely agree with you on that, Son. But to my

540
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: second point, when we have a guy like Lindsay Grant

541
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: who's on your show to night, Lindsay frustrates the hell

542
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: out of me, sometimes I agree. I tell him to

543
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: his face, I say, you frustrate the hell out of me.

544
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: Then why do we keep giving him a voice and

545
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: putting him on the time of selection time. He's up

546
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: there asking for money to keep control for the Republicans,

547
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: and then he turns around and stabbed us in the back.

548
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: That's that's listening. It is. I'm not going to make

549
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: this personal about Lindsay, but I will tell you what

550
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: the Republicans and the Senate did with this omnibus bill

551
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: is repulsive to me. And I said it before I

552
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: went on vacation, and I'll say it now that they

553
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: did it, and they hurt, they created a lot of

554
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: warranted distrust. That's the Senate. Now that have we have

555
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: control of the House, I think you'll be happy in

556
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: the end with the results Linda put up. The twenty

557
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: fourteen Conservative Solution Caucus were way ahead of the curve

558
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: on all of this stuff. Not that anybody cares. All right,

559
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: when we come back the final negotiations that have been

560
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: going on, Chip Breed being a chip Roy rather being

561
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 1: a big part of it, is going to join us

562
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Get your calls next

563
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: hour as well. Pull free. It's eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn.

564
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of this extravaganza

565
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: and this marathon in Washington,
