If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:24.320
then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power.
00:00:32.680
It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:37.780
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:41.960
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:51.040
First of all, town halls are for the voters, not for the press,
00:00:56.860
Caitlyn spent more time interjecting her own viewpoints
00:01:04.440
Now, are you guys not going to interject your views on me,
00:01:11.160
The town hall is for the president to speak to the voters of New Hampshire,
00:01:19.480
Number two, with respect to Ukraine, I totally disagree.
00:01:22.280
He did not say he was just going to give over Ukraine the way you intimate, man.
00:01:26.500
He didn't say he was just going to say that he was just going to victory for a victory.
00:01:29.320
What he said was, is that he would actually look for a solution to end it quickly.
00:01:34.440
He put 24 hours on it, but let's be very clear.
00:01:41.820
Joe Biden wanted to give Vladimir Zelensky a ride out of Dodge.
00:01:46.860
And it wasn't until people in Moscow, in Ukraine, here in the United States,
00:01:51.300
said this invasion is wrong, that Joe Biden reversed course.
00:01:56.820
I'm just trying to response to everything that's been coming up on the table.
00:01:59.640
I can play that, and we've run the sprockets off this.
00:02:05.980
and it's done by one of the most impressive young congressmen in the House of Representatives.
00:02:10.820
As in the previous hour, we've gone through this incredible press conference today,
00:02:16.440
or the juxtaposition of what Kevin McCarthy did over on the terrace,
00:02:24.560
compared and contrast to the hapless, illegitimate Joe Biden.
00:02:28.280
I want to bring in Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida 19.
00:02:32.080
Congressman, and I want to get back to what you did after the town hall,
00:02:36.080
which was a master class on how you stand in the breach
00:02:41.140
but you control the narrative because you've got a command presence.
00:02:47.980
and people, I went to a conference this weekend,
00:02:50.820
and people were talking about the inflection point
00:02:53.860
in the great fight of the first week of January
00:02:58.460
was when Byron Donalds' name was put into as to be Speaker of the House.
00:03:04.780
and it brought us, it made Kevin McCarthy a better speaker.
00:03:07.180
It brought us today to a complete show of unity of the House and the Senate.
00:03:12.400
Tell us about what you guys achieved in the first week,
00:03:15.080
the 20, as we call it, achieved in the first week of January,
00:03:18.220
and why it is so important of what we're doing today
00:03:20.860
in this great fight over the debt ceiling, sir.
00:03:26.120
first, Steve, man, it's good to be on your show.
00:03:30.400
A couple things that really happened that week.
00:03:35.600
that the House would actually operate and function
00:03:42.280
the Speaker's office has just accumulated more power
00:03:46.860
and there was a bunch of us who were just tired of it.
00:03:50.100
And so we wanted to see a House that really would function.
00:03:53.920
And our view, which I think has now played out,
00:03:56.760
is that if you had a more collaborative House of Representatives,
00:04:26.660
of the most conservative border security package
00:04:29.880
that's ever passed the House of Representatives.
00:04:35.420
about energy independence and permitting reform,
00:04:40.640
in more ways than I can even talk to in this segment.
00:04:49.620
and how we're going to try to find a way to navigate that.
00:04:52.420
But you can't get to any of those meaningful packages
00:04:55.480
if you don't have members of Congress working together.
00:05:07.280
We want to make sure we're looking at finding ways
00:05:14.080
of being fiscally responsible up here on Capitol Hill.
00:05:17.620
And so the first week really helped us do that.
00:05:22.340
he's responded knowing kind of where all the members are
00:05:28.320
And he's actually been really doing a really good job leading us.
00:05:32.720
And we've been working with him to be successful.
00:05:38.900
is how you've brought the conference together by doing this.
00:05:41.920
And this all goes back to rules and process and procedure.
00:05:45.340
But I think what people are stunned about today
00:06:08.560
I mean, the House has actually stepped up here in a bit.
00:06:19.460
because we've never had a show of unity like this
00:06:27.480
I think when you have members who are prepared to,
00:06:44.000
And then being able to kind of keep the narrative,
00:06:49.220
also making sure that even though you're going to have,
00:06:52.120
you know, this disagreement within our conference,
00:07:09.240
if these guys can go through that in the first week
00:07:16.040
and put forward what they're really trying to accomplish,
00:07:29.880
our activists who really care about our country,
00:07:32.580
if you can get all these people to buy into that narrative
00:07:38.120
then what else can the House really accomplish?
00:07:40.840
And I think that's where you have Republican senators
00:07:56.480
So I think you saw that today at the press conference.
00:08:04.500
and it's going to require Republicans to stay together
00:08:10.400
and be focused on conservative solutions to our country
00:08:22.600
The debt ceiling debate couldn't be higher stakes.
00:09:15.140
And so I think that's what I've been communicating,
