00:01:22.280 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:01:26.360 Thank you for being with us.

00:01:28.520 Nothing works in Joe Biden's Marxist-dim regime.

00:01:32.400 Biden's border crisis is only worsening.

00:01:35.000 Marxist-dim New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

00:01:37.980 Are you ready?

00:01:38.960 He's on a Please Don't Invade America tour of Latin America this week.

00:01:43.800 He's visiting Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia.

00:01:47.200 While there, Mayor Adams will tell their citizens not to expect to stay in five-star hotels

00:01:52.500 when they travel to the Big Apple.

00:01:55.180 A hundred and twenty-five thousand illegals have arrived in New York City since spring.

00:02:00.040 So far this year, we've seen two million encounters of illegals, a quarter million gotaways.

00:02:06.140 And that's just what we know about.

00:02:08.180 The battle to find a new Speaker of the House is well underway now.

00:02:11.960 So far in the race, we have Majority Leader and McCarthy acolyte Steve Scalise

00:02:17.880 and House Judiciary Committee Chairman and former Leader of the Freedom Caucus Jim Jordan.

00:02:22.940 They've both announced that they'll seek the position.

00:02:26.120 And there is one other name being thrown around that some people may be surprised by.

00:02:31.320 That name, of course, is President Donald Trump.

00:02:34.260 Trump asked yesterday about the prospect of becoming Speaker of the House.

00:02:38.800 Here's what he had to say.

00:02:40.120 Who should be Speaker? 0.90

00:02:42.400 Who should be Speaker? 0.90

00:02:43.500 Who should be Speaker, Mr. President?

00:02:45.080 A lot of people have been calling me about Speaker.

00:02:47.700 All I can say is we'll do whatever's best for the country and for the Republican Party.

00:02:52.800 Would you take a job?

00:02:53.680 Great people.

00:02:54.440 Margaret Taylor.

00:02:55.720 We have some great, great people.

00:02:58.100 Would you take a job?

00:02:59.760 A lot of people have asked me about it.

00:03:01.540 I'm focused.

00:03:02.300 You know, we're leading.

00:03:02.980 I don't know you.

00:03:03.720 I'm sure you don't read too much in the papers.

00:03:06.500 But we're leading by like 50 points.

00:03:10.120 You know, my focus is totally on that.

00:03:13.240 If I can help them during the process, I would do it.

00:03:16.100 And there you have it.

00:03:17.300 President Trump willing to do all he can to help the Republican Party.

00:03:21.460 Congressman Patrick McHenry, a close friend of Kevin McCarthy,

00:03:25.660 is the acting Speaker while we await the vote for a new Speaker.

00:03:30.080 And McHenry wasted no time getting to work.

00:03:32.780 McHenry's first order as acting Speaker was to evict Nancy Pelosi from her Capitol hideaway office. 0.99

00:03:40.520 He gave her 24 hours to pack up and get her stuff the heck out of there. 0.99

00:03:44.940 His second order of business was to evict former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer from his Capitol hideaway office.

00:03:52.220 Those two orders of business raise a big question.

00:03:54.860 Why didn't McCarthy do it himself on day one?

00:03:58.620 And why are there hideaway offices for Democrats when it's a Republican Congress?

00:04:04.200 A lot of questions to be answered here.

00:04:06.880 One member of the Republican establishment who's not taking too well to rhino Kevin McCarthy being ousted

00:04:13.520 is the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.

00:04:16.960 Newt went on Fox News yesterday and said those members who held McCarthy to his word are, are you ready, traitors.

00:04:26.040 96% of the Republicans voted for McCarthy.

00:04:29.840 4% voted against him. 0.94

00:04:31.880 From my position as a longtime Republican activist, they're traitors.

00:04:36.140 All eight of them should in fact be primaried. 0.95

00:04:38.620 They should all be driven out of public life.

00:04:40.500 What they did was to go to the other team to cause total chaos.

00:04:45.820 We ought to be focusing on Biden.

00:04:47.700 We ought to be focusing on the economy.

00:04:49.640 We ought to be focusing on the border.

00:04:51.580 Instead, you're going to get a week or 10 days of the media focusing on Republican disarray.

00:04:56.860 It's an astonishingly destructive behavior by a handful of egocentric people

00:05:02.480 who think they're superior to 96% of the conference.

00:05:06.620 The responsible person in all of this, of course, is the former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

00:05:12.260 He was the one who crossed the aisle and betrayed his conference to work with the Marxist Dems,

00:05:18.200 not the eight brave members who held him accountable for breaking his word to the conference.

00:05:23.820 Joining us now is a member of those brave eight, Congressman Matt Rosendale.

00:05:28.420 Congressman, congratulations on all that you and your colleagues have achieved.

00:05:32.280 This is a striking moment for the 118th Congress, and you were among those who started it all off in January.

00:05:40.200 All of you standing up, the brave six, as you were then known.

00:05:43.740 Now it's the brave eight.

00:05:45.340 I guess is the way we should say that.

00:05:47.320 Congratulations.

00:05:48.460 Your thoughts today.

00:05:50.260 Well, I assure you, I take no pleasure in setting history by removing the Speaker of the House.

00:05:57.960 But when something needs to be done and you're called upon to do it, you cannot shy away from it, Lil.

00:06:05.080 And I truly believe that it is in the country's best interest to have another Speaker at this time.

00:06:11.620 We cannot continue down this path that is leading us to financial ruin.

00:06:16.360 And for decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have allowed us to build the national debt to $33 trillion.

00:06:28.460 And what I saw was a continuation of the same.

00:06:33.060 You know, folks talk about compromise.

00:06:34.920 They talk about trying to get along with folks on the other side of the aisle.

00:06:39.060 And I do believe in that.

00:06:40.280 I will not compromise my principles, but I can compromise on policy.

00:06:45.080 However, when the Republican Speaker allows the Democrat minority to dictate the financial legislation, the big financial legislation that is coming out of the House, we have a major problem.

00:07:00.740 And we saw that on the debt ceiling deal, and we saw that again on this continuing resolution that we never should have been negotiating to begin with had we simply followed the Budget Act of 1974 and provided the 12 individual appropriation bills by June 30th, which statute, by the way, calls for it.

00:07:22.380 And by the way, to my understanding, Kevin McCarthy promised exactly that, did he not?

00:07:28.400 He did. He did. He did.

00:07:30.600 And so when we've got someone who will not honor their word, who little talked about, acquired 209 Democrat votes to pass a bill this weekend and only 125 Republican votes to pass this continuing resolution.

00:07:48.340 Clearly, he is he is he is serving at the behest of Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrat Party, and he broke his word to us.

00:07:58.740 And then the final straw, I really believe, was when we watched on the news and saw that he had negotiated a deal with President Biden to tie border security funding to Ukraine funding, to additional Ukraine funding when they've already received over 100 billion dollars.

00:08:16.740 And the vast majority of Americans and certainly Montanans and the conference have said that they are against that.

00:08:26.500 Well, I want to compliment you again and congratulate you on what you've achieved, because I agree with you that a change in speaker was absolutely called for absolutely necessary if you're to proceed on the promises that were made to the 118th Congress, which was true reform that you all achieve.

00:08:46.900 I'm and I'm saying this for the benefit of the audience.

00:08:49.080 I'm quite aware you're you as one of the authors of it.

00:08:52.840 You understand it better than anyone.

00:08:55.000 But, you know, the thing is, Lou, and what we were doing is trying to restore Congress.

00:09:01.280 We were not asking for a radical deviation from the norms.

00:09:05.100 All we wanted to do was restore Congress, because over the last 15 to 18 years, we've seen a terrible consolidation of the power into the hands of the speaker and into the few select individuals that were basically granted super legislative status.

00:09:22.640 And that's the Rules Committee.

00:09:24.000 And they were making the decisions about everything.

00:09:26.640 And so what we did is that we need to go back to having 72 hours to review all legislation.

00:09:32.800 We need to go back to making sure that all 12 appropriation bills are delivered to the House and delivered out of the House by June 30th.

00:09:43.780 We need to go back to having single subject legislation.

00:09:48.800 These are all very, very realistic reforms that that pretty much every legislative body around the country operates their states under.

00:09:58.700 Yeah. And are you going to are you all going to make that a absolute condition of support for whoever runs for speaker that he or she absolutely commit to the appropriations process?

00:10:15.300 Go back to the 1974 Budget Control Act to do it.

00:10:20.580 It's the it's the law.

00:10:21.960 Well, you would think that Congress would follow the law, but it hasn't since 1996.

00:10:27.840 So you've got a lot here to take care of.

00:10:32.180 And one of those are the your your fellow Republicans in the Senate.

00:10:36.000 I've got to tell you, a number of them have been just in my opinion. 0.99

00:10:39.100 I'm a straight talker, as you know, they've been just they're just plain ignorant. 0.95

00:10:44.300 And I'm going to call out Tom Cotton for what he said. 0.96

00:10:47.920 He is just absolutely out of his out of, you know, as far as I'm concerned, he just made a terrible mistake.

00:10:55.460 I'm cleaning up my language here as I go.

00:10:58.180 But Tom Cotton to sit there and talk about collaboration with the Democrats.

00:11:02.580 I reminded him today, at least in social media, that it was Matt Gaetz, Republican, who put forward the motion to vacate.

00:11:12.620 It was the Democrats who followed you and your colleagues in supporting the Gaetz resolution, the motion to vacate.

00:11:22.420 I mean, the ignorance of it.

00:11:23.800 And then I asked Tom Cotton and some of the senators, you know, excuse me, are you the same folks who are taking in all of that big pharma money, all of that big Wall Street money, all of that big business money, big tech money, big money?

00:11:37.820 And you follow McConnell around and Schumer around like like puppies behind their money trade.

00:11:46.280 I mean, it's outrageous.

00:11:48.080 This conduct that I've seen is a result of what you all achieved.

00:11:52.520 And what they what they fail to mention, I mean, they're quick to talk about the people that were brave enough to stand up against leadership, which we see in short supply over in the Senate.

00:12:04.320 OK, but what they fail to mention is the fact that Kevin McCarthy garnered 209 Democrat votes and only 125 Republican votes to pass a continuing resolution.

00:12:19.000 Clearly, he's working with the Democrats.

00:12:21.560 He's representing the Democrats.

00:12:23.980 And that was on, you know, just this weekend.

00:12:26.580 Back when the debt ceiling issue was raised, we passed a debt ceiling package, Lou.

00:12:33.560 You know, we worked really hard on that.

00:12:35.800 We were able to claw back the residual revenue that was available from the COVID spending and the new green deal provisions.

00:12:43.880 And then take that and put it in our bucket and then freeze the spending levels at fiscal 22 and then increase the debt ceiling by 1.5 trillion or until March 11th of 24 so that we would still maintain some kind of control.

00:13:01.020 And again, Kevin, he didn't pass legislation with Republicans.

00:13:06.020 He went out and garnered 169 Democrat votes and 145 Republican votes to pass a debt ceiling package that gave them unlimited spending until January of 25.

00:13:19.800 We are never going to get control over the national debt by allowing transactions like that to take place.

00:13:27.920 Well, you're going to have to stop just about everything Joe Biden proposes because he is out of he's out of his ever loving mind.

00:13:36.060 What he's doing, he's he's sending money that's not authorized.

00:13:39.160 He is operating as a as a straight out, flat out authoritarian without any requirement to bring in the Congress of the United States to express the will of the people.

00:13:49.200 We're talking with Congressman Matt Rosendale.

00:13:52.100 We're coming right back.

00:13:53.120 Stay with us.

00:13:53.680 We're back talking with Congressman Matt Rosendale.

00:14:02.340 Congressman, I I'd like you to to to listen to Kevin McCarthy.

00:14:07.620 He had some words for you and specifically I would like to to roll that if we could, Mr. Fawcett.

00:14:15.100 I read a tweet the other day of Matt Rosendale.

00:14:19.180 Um, he goes to mass every day, but you know what he said his prayer was all last year that Republicans didn't have a big victory, that they had a narrow victory.

00:14:30.640 When you have members like that, that are part of your team, you got a tough team.

00:14:36.660 Well, there you know, he's admonishing you for wanting to have more influence over that rhino conference.

00:14:43.840 Uh, your reaction to his words, people from Montana are glad that I'm tough.

00:14:50.180 That's first that's first that we'll start it off.

00:14:52.900 But 100 percent, I was hoping that we had a thin majority because I knew that that would give us the ability to move that conservative agenda forward.

00:15:02.880 Lou, if we did not have a small majority, then we would be dealing with the same old nonsense that we do year after year after year, which has brought us thirty three trillion dollars of national debt.

00:15:16.760 And guess what? I was right. That's why we passed H.R. one domestic energy policy legislation that was very conservative.

00:15:27.220 That's why we passed H.R. two. I've been told that was the most comprehensive and conservative border security and immigration legislation that has ever been passed in Washington.

00:15:38.780 That's why we passed the National Defense Act, NDAA, with all Republican votes had never been done before, including a five and a half percent increase of pay for our service members.

00:15:51.760 But we also clawed back and made sure we removed all the taxpayer funding out of the NDAA for things like transgender surgeries and abortions that previously the the more moderate members were afraid to extract.

00:16:08.980 And by having a small group of very conservative members, yeah, we were able to get that accomplished and bring everyone along with us.

00:16:17.280 So what are you mentioned to your constituents, the people you represent back there in Montana, your phone had to be running, running, ringing off the hook.

00:16:27.740 What's been their reaction to your position to the vote to replace the speaker?

00:16:34.460 I have had very, very few people reach out to me and say that they were disappointed in that vote.

00:16:42.760 I won't say that I haven't had any, but I've had very few.

00:16:46.620 I mean, it's more like twenty five or thirty to one saying we are so proud of the work that you have done.

00:16:55.420 And we know that you're trying to rein in this out of control spending.

00:16:59.620 And quite frankly, Lou, I mean, it's very difficult for someone like me to sit here and be lectured by folks that have been here for several decades about how I'm supposed to conduct my affairs when they're the very people that have been in management of increasing the national debt to thirty three trillion dollars.

00:17:19.820 I tell them, I think maybe we need to try something a little bit different.

00:17:24.360 Let's try it my way.

00:17:25.620 Let's talk about another fellow from Montana, and that's Steve Daines.

00:17:31.260 He had strong words as well.

00:17:34.560 What do you say to him?

00:17:36.900 Well, I think the strong words are probably going to be floating around for another week, is my guess, because tensions are high and tempers are hot.

00:17:47.620 And people often say things that they regret later on.

00:17:51.900 And so I don't take any of it to heart, Lou.

00:17:54.380 I really, really don't.

00:17:56.000 I've been in a legislative body here for almost three years.

00:17:59.280 I served in the Montana legislature.

00:18:02.660 And some folks, the pressure just it forces them to make statements that they often regret.

00:18:11.120 So I don't worry about it.

00:18:12.700 I've got a very, very short memory when it comes to those kinds of things.

00:18:15.640 And I very quickly get back to the work at hand, which is to make sure we pass those appropriation bills so that we don't have yet another continuing resolution around Thanksgiving.

00:18:27.840 Now, Daines is in charge of that money, that Senate money.

00:18:33.140 You know, you think he's going to be the sort of fellow to kind of short arm you on the on that money come Election Day?

00:18:41.060 I think that the voters across Montana will have to talk to him about that.

00:18:47.140 Well, I think that, you know, you can you you convey immense judgment and wisdom, I must say.

00:18:56.320 And I tell you what, a great courage.

00:18:58.460 I want to compliment you again.

00:19:00.440 It must is we look at what is happening in that town.

00:19:04.420 The 118th Congress showed great promise.

00:19:07.680 We're here in September.

00:19:08.760 And if it weren't for you, you brave eight, I don't you know, we wouldn't be in too good a shape.

00:19:15.760 I don't think the Republicans, by the way, all these smart fellows over in the Senate in particular, and all the you know, even the bow tied folks in the House have much idea of just how frail the public opinion is about what the Republicans are doing.

00:19:33.240 You have done something to ignite support in the base in this country.

00:19:39.420 And I think that assures you at least an even shot of taking even more seats in the House and control of the Senate come 2024.

00:19:48.640 What do you think?

00:19:49.920 I think the people across this nation need hope.

00:19:54.160 And that's and that's they see things are bad and they just need a glimmer of hope.

00:19:59.060 And this is why the pundits and the pontificators do not understand the the absolute notoriety and support that Donald Trump has, because they they are out of touch with the man on the street.

00:20:17.060 They're out of touch with the regular Americans. 0.94

00:20:20.400 When I when I went back to the district in August, Lou, I can tell you something.

00:20:24.920 I didn't go off on a fishing trip or go off on a code down on some exotic location somewhere.

00:20:31.680 I spent the month of August traveling around the state meeting with my people, because guess what?

00:20:36.060 I love the people I represent.

00:20:37.820 And I listen to the folks that have businesses that are trying to make payroll that they themselves don't collect because they're trying to make sure that their their employees are able to go home at the end of the week and make that paycheck.

00:20:51.360 OK, and I talk to those folks.

00:20:54.340 And when we stand up and fight for them, they have hope.

00:20:58.460 They know it's still tough, but they have hope to come out and get up again and do it tomorrow.

00:21:04.240 And that's what we are providing for these folks.

00:21:07.000 They see that somebody is in there fighting for them and fighting and and winning.

00:21:13.600 And that's really important.

00:21:15.260 And it's interesting to me because you all you know this, the the folks over at the Chamber of Commerce and the business roundtable,

00:21:23.420 those people are over there just puking themselves at what happened because they had a nice, comfortable arrangement with with Speaker McCarthy and the boys over in the Senate.

00:21:33.480 You know, the boys over in the Senate are a real problem.

00:21:36.740 McConnell likes those buses.

00:21:38.300 He loves omnibus bills and he is going to be fighting you tooth and nail because he's got an agenda all unto himself.

00:21:45.640 And they and the lily livered leadership over there means to let him have that because he they all want his money.

00:21:53.960 So how are you going to deal with it?

00:21:56.060 That is exactly right.

00:21:57.900 Boy, did you summarize that?

00:21:59.360 And so that is why it's so critically important that the speaker not only has a vision of where we need to go,

00:22:06.580 but has the intestinal fortitude to take these battles on.

00:22:11.500 You've got to be able to walk over there and say, I'm not going to accept X or Y. 0.90

00:22:18.500 And there's got to be credibility, OK, in the words that you speak.

00:22:24.460 And if you do not have that credibility, you're going to get rolled over.

00:22:28.760 If you walk over to the Senate or to the White House and say where your stance are,

00:22:34.060 but you wink and you nod and say, you know, but let's go ahead and work this out.

00:22:38.980 Then then we are going to continue down this path.

00:22:42.440 And you, after working on the financial channel for all that time.

00:22:46.300 No, we are on the path, the financial ruin.

00:22:49.460 We cannot continue to pile this debt on the American people.

00:22:54.740 The dollar is going to lose so much value that they won't be able to afford their day to day

00:22:59.780 things that they need, or we're going to end up having these other countries,

00:23:07.200 which we see taking place right now.

00:23:09.660 China, Russia, working together with Saudi Arabia to utilize the yuan

00:23:13.980 instead of using the dollar as reserve currency, as the petrodollar.

00:23:18.540 We see the bricks getting together.

00:23:19.960 If that happens, if the global community loses enough confidence in the dollar

00:23:25.240 that it is no longer the reserve currency,

00:23:28.140 we will see a financial collapse like no one in this country has ever witnessed.

00:23:33.700 We're going to get a forecast from you.

00:23:36.000 Who do you want to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives? 1.00

00:23:39.800 We're going to come right back right after these brief moments.

00:23:45.120 Stay with us.

00:23:46.160 We'll be right back.

00:23:52.600 We're back now with Congressman Matt Rosendale.

00:23:55.920 Congressman, who do you want to be Speaker?

00:23:57.760 Do you have a favorite?

00:23:59.040 I don't.

00:23:59.620 I'll tell you, I'm really, really pleased, though, Lou, that we're going to have,

00:24:03.740 I understand we're going to have a forum on Tuesday.

00:24:06.880 Here's what I find fascinating.

00:24:09.160 Back in January, everyone was saying, if you don't want Kevin, then who do you want?

00:24:13.700 Who do you want? 0.96

00:24:14.360 Who are you going to put forward?

00:24:15.460 And I continue to say, there's a lot of very talented, intelligent people that are leaders

00:24:21.060 that we could put up, but none of them want to put their hand up as long as the king is

00:24:26.460 still on the throne because they are fearful of retribution.

00:24:31.200 And everybody's like, oh, you know, they didn't believe it.

00:24:34.580 But let me tell you something.

00:24:36.620 When Kevin McCarthy was removed yesterday, before midnight, five people came out and

00:24:42.340 said they wanted to run for Speaker.

00:24:44.780 So exactly what we were talking about would happen has happened.

00:24:49.520 And I think we're going to have a good forum on Tuesday so that we can listen to the vision,

00:24:55.340 okay, the vision, and listen to the people that want to be a leader of the Republican

00:25:01.720 Party and see that they will make the commitments to us and then try to judge them as best we

00:25:08.220 can to whether they will stick by those commitments so that we can continue to do good things,

00:25:15.800 to move a conservative agenda.

00:25:17.640 I want to listen to everybody.

00:25:20.900 I've told folks today, I don't know who I'm going to vote for.

00:25:24.520 I can tell you there's only two people I know I will not vote for.

00:25:27.920 I will not vote for Kevin McCarthy, and I will not vote for Matt Rosendale as Speaker.

00:25:33.680 But everybody else, I'm going to consider.

00:25:37.000 Well, I think that that is both, again, a wise and judicious perspective.

00:25:44.020 I think it is going to be important, though, to make certain you all don't make the same

00:25:50.720 mistakes again.

00:25:51.720 Because when we look back over this, what has been tolerated?

00:25:55.600 You go back to Boehner.

00:25:57.440 You go back to Ryan.

00:25:58.580 And you go to Kevin McCarthy.

00:26:02.960 This is, it's outrageous because they were all handpicked by their predecessor.

00:26:09.420 And if it's business as usual, you know, the country's doomed.

00:26:14.580 I mean, you guys, you know this.

00:26:16.600 You hold the future of the Republican in your hands because the Senate is gone.

00:26:21.420 The Senate is absolutely filled with Republicans in name only, rhinos at best. 0.92

00:26:28.620 If we can't have a free, fair election in 2024, there's no point in the rest of this, is there?

00:26:34.060 No, there isn't.

00:26:35.000 And I will tell you that while I support all those efforts, I want to make sure that they

00:26:40.540 are executed at the state level.

00:26:44.020 What I do not want to do is have the federal government come in and start making any decisions

00:26:49.320 about what is considered to be a free and fair election.

00:26:53.460 Because what I think is a free and fair election and how they should be conducted

00:26:58.420 is certainly not going to be what Hakeem Jeffries believes is a free and fair election.

00:27:04.280 And once we start down that path of allowing the federal government to interfere,

00:27:08.800 first of all, the Constitution clearly states that these are things that are to be left to the states.

00:27:15.060 And I think it would just be a really, really bad thing to do.

00:27:18.220 Now, I do believe that there are some opportunities where the federal government can continue to reward

00:27:27.320 people for doing good things as far as making sure that they have the highest election integrity

00:27:33.820 standards.

00:27:35.340 And that would be, you know, the carrot instead of the stick.

00:27:39.000 And that is something that I think we can consider.

00:27:42.520 We've gone through a lot here today.

00:27:44.440 I just want to once again say congratulations and thank you and your colleagues for standing

00:27:50.740 up for what is right and what gives this country an assurance of a future.

00:27:56.000 Well, I appreciate it.

00:27:57.940 Lou, it's always great to be on with you.

00:28:00.440 I enjoy it because you are a straight talker and you use common sense.

00:28:05.740 And I can tell you that it's in a short order up here.

00:28:09.100 I mean, it truly is.

00:28:10.920 We've got a small group of individuals that is willing to sacrifice everything in order

00:28:16.360 to preserve this republic.

00:28:18.160 And as I look at my work up here, what I see are there are just far, far too many people

00:28:25.240 that have made this a career.

00:28:28.240 And once this becomes your career, then every vote that you cast becomes tainted.

00:28:33.500 I had a very successful career.

00:28:35.620 I was blessed by God, had a successful career in real estate, brokerage, development and

00:28:40.680 management, raised my children, put them through school and then had the opportunity to become

00:28:47.480 a public servant.

00:28:48.780 And so now I look at every single question that comes before me and vote upon it according

00:28:57.060 to my convictions and according to the Constitution.

00:29:00.500 And I let the politics work themselves out.

00:29:05.300 And if we have more people doing that, then by golly, you all would be better served.

00:29:12.360 And this place would be much smaller than what it is right now.

00:29:17.540 Congressman Matt Rosendale, we thank you so much and appreciate you greatly.

00:29:23.060 God bless you.

00:29:24.120 God bless you.
