The Great America Show - REP. ANDY BIGGS SAYS IF GOP KEEPS PUTTING THE SAME PEOPLE IN CHARGE WE CAN’T RESTORE AMERICAN GREATNESS

00:00:00.000 hello everybody i'm lou dobbs thanks for being with us for this episode of the great america show in the midst of those midterm elections there were all sorts of cross currents and whispered subtexts to all the drama that was unfolding before our eyes

00:00:16.420 you know lying cheating and stealing the marxist dims it seems fair to me to say had the upper hand when it came to cheating and stealing i frankly don't know that the republicans were reported to be the bad guys in any such election cheating or stealing anywhere in the country

00:00:35.380 now that speaks better of their ethics than it does their energy and commitment doesn't it as for lying though that's a tight game between these two political parties

00:00:45.660 the edge certainly goes to the marxist dims though mainly because they've got the white house and joe biden that's a real advantage the republicans did as well as they could without either the white house or the national corporate media on their side

00:01:01.220 they did try to keep up with that lying thing ronna mcdaniel rnc had saying they were doing great on their ground game before the election she was so emphatic that it made some folks feel like crying for what the republicans

00:01:16.220 were about to do to those poor marxist dims turns out no sympathy required at least not for the dims save it though for the losers the gop they're still a bunch of losers they've got mcdaniel and the other macs mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy

00:01:34.220 mcdaniel mcconnell and mccarthy now that's the three mcrinos right what a bunch mcconnell financing dims opposing republican candidates mccarthy raising a half billion dollars and thinking for sure bigora the little people will never consider

00:01:51.740 why the big money sprinkled the green over his rhino head ah no lads and ladies the three mcrinos have done it again

00:02:00.520 and they now say that if we don't anoint mccarthy as speaker the radical dims will have their say

00:02:07.900 as if there's any daylight between a rhino and a full-on marxist menace like schumer

00:02:13.180 pelosi or jeffries globalist elites they be all and no differences at all with the likes of the mcrinos

00:02:21.280 trying to make a difference is one of the republican party's leading conservatives the former chairman of

00:02:27.840 the freedom caucus re-elected to congress for a fourth term this year congressman andy biggs is

00:02:33.900 our guest a great american and congressman great to have you back with us now paul ryan reviled by

00:02:40.600 most conservatives and most decent americans when he was speaker is daily trying to find some kind of

00:02:47.200 relevance or at least get his name in the paper his latest effort to say he supports kevin mccarthy

00:02:53.520 for speaker saying mccarthy's been good for conservatives what do you think congressman

00:02:59.120 i i'm not sure you know uh what to think about uh former speaker ryan um endorsing kevin but it's

00:03:09.340 not just not a surprise i mean look mccarthy was his majority leader right mccarthy's been the the

00:03:16.980 minority leader for four years the majority leader for two years he's been in leadership for i think

00:03:22.440 seven or eight years uh you know he's been training for this his whole life and and i think paul ryan

00:03:29.860 uh would view mccarthy as kind of an extension of of paul ryan's speakership perhaps and um

00:03:38.380 you mean he's going to block block subpinnas he is uh going to reach across the aisle to all of the

00:03:45.840 democrats and do what he's told uh i mean his his speakership was a disgrace in my opinion

00:03:52.500 uh what is your meaning well i mean i think you're i think you're right i mean look kevin

00:03:59.200 mccarthy already said that he didn't want to impeach anybody he thought that that was a political

00:04:06.180 thing that just democrats do it'd be political showmanship um he's talked about reaching across

00:04:12.360 the aisle um and doing that type of thing and you know luke there are things that we probably agree

00:04:17.860 on with the democrats but here's the deal they view us as political enemies they attack us with every

00:04:23.960 tool that they can possibly think of uh they want to give us now hakeem jeffries who is really radical

00:04:30.960 left and i i've worked with hakeem on a on a bill called the jack bill to go after crooked lobbyists

00:04:36.080 but you know the the bottom line is they view us as political enemies and if you want the status quo

00:04:43.700 free trump free trump then i would i would say that maybe mccarthy would be the one that people would

00:04:50.280 want and and that's why i say maybe it's an extension of the paul ryan years maybe that's what

00:04:55.280 paul ryan felt like his he's gotten a bad rap from conservatives yeah well his if you can do a

00:05:02.460 psycho analysis of that man i i don't know what to say it's just he is uh just absolutely awful he

00:05:11.140 wouldn't he was anti-trump with the president of the united states and his own party uh he's this

00:05:17.380 should be the kiss of death for kevin mccarthy's ambitions to be speaker of the house for to be

00:05:22.940 endorsed by the likes of uh paul ryan don't you think yeah well i i do think so but but that's for

00:05:31.600 people who live outside the dc bubble for people in the dc bubble maybe that's a good thing i guess

00:05:36.720 i don't know but but like you lou the people you said just a second ago that people want change

00:05:42.740 and if you just keep putting the same people in you're not going to get that change the structural

00:05:48.200 change necessary to restore american greatness and and so when i was going out campaigning for myself

00:05:56.220 and for others in in my district and around arizona and across the country i can tell you

00:06:02.060 the question i got more often than any other was are you going to give us the same leadership are we

00:06:08.360 going to have mcconnell and mccarthy is that what is that what the republicans are going to do

00:06:12.760 and i just don't think that's what they want i think the american people want a change

00:06:19.320 well i i'll go farther i i will tell you that the american people don't want mccarthy they don't

00:06:25.640 want mcconnell and one of the reasons that there was a to me there wasn't the red tide that was

00:06:32.160 expected part of the reason was people didn't know what to think of you guys uh you didn't gather a

00:06:39.940 contract with america you didn't tell anybody what and i'm saying you i'm talking about the conference

00:06:45.360 the republicans and the democrats the republicans in the house and the republicans in the senate

00:06:50.460 just simply didn't tell anybody tried to dance through it like well we won't make any waves and

00:06:55.840 maybe we'll get a wave i mean it was a bizarre moment and and in my estimation frankly a terrible

00:07:03.820 leadership from mcconnell and mccarthy uh your thoughts yeah yeah lou i'm with you on it that's so

00:07:11.240 so about about a year ago i put out something called my america first plan it's been on my

00:07:16.320 website i've talked about it but but i i felt we needed to have a positive affirmative action plan

00:07:23.080 not just say we're not the democrats and we'll we'll go around the the the off the cliff at a slower

00:07:29.140 pace mine was to say look we're gonna we're gonna attack uh inflation energy we're gonna attack

00:07:36.240 the border crime the woke policies the the feckless foreign policy of this administration

00:07:42.840 and then then i gave a list of at that time uh of legislation that that would go to that i i also

00:07:51.680 said look here's the oversight these are the committee hearings we need to have everything

00:07:56.400 from fauci and covid and gain of function to now hundred you know hundred biden and what's going on

00:08:01.820 there to the weaponization of doj and the fbi and then i also went through luke because i thought this

00:08:07.160 was important is to tell the american people yeah we'll be in we won't have the white house but here

00:08:13.040 is how you get stuff done you leverage the money bills you leverage the ndaa and other must pass

00:08:19.980 legislation you hold the oversight hearings and then where you need to you apply what i call

00:08:25.320 constitutional um uh discipline and that's impeachment of people like alejandro mayorkas

00:08:31.540 so i i think you're right i think i think people don't didn't trust republicans to actually get in

00:08:40.300 and make the changes we need now we got more votes nationwide but we didn't get them uh we didn't get

00:08:46.640 the wave that we thought we were going to get and i think it's because what you said so well and i'll

00:08:52.340 give you one other thing too but but that we didn't articulate our position of what we were going

00:08:57.260 to do and we didn't have the trust we have to have the trust and then the second thing is um the you

00:09:03.660 you had that um that group that pack that super pack that kevin mccarthy raises money for and they

00:09:10.380 were putting money against people like a great conservative uh like anna paulina luna out of florida

00:09:16.000 she got out spent like 12 to 1 and they were playing in primaries and they they took out tried to

00:09:21.360 take out the levitt uh uh the the young lady uh levitt out of uh new hampshire they withdrew money

00:09:27.760 from her you had majuski majuski in ohio you had you had people um sabatini in florida you had people

00:09:35.540 that were good good conservatives and all of a sudden uh this money's pouring in against them

00:09:41.760 um from that from the clf which was that super pack that mr mccarthy raises money for and so

00:09:49.360 that hurt as well the clf tell everybody what that means that's the congressional leadership fund

00:09:57.220 and that's so that's different that that is kevin mccarthy raises a bucket line 100 over maybe even

00:10:04.840 as much as 200 million dollars for the clf and what they do that group is it's kind of run by a guy

00:10:10.600 named uh jeff miller's big on that doesn't like conservatives doesn't like me doesn't like you

00:10:15.600 lou by the way um and oh by the way you give him a big hug for me will you

00:10:20.780 i like every i like everybody me too i'm i'm a lover not a well i'm a fighter too but i you gotta

00:10:28.660 i love everybody i just gonna fight for the rights of people right so anyway they they they put money

00:10:35.600 into campaigns uh of of and kevin cannot coordinate but he can make recommendations

00:10:42.060 and they put money out there yeah so when i ask you about that it's the same deal uh the senate

00:10:49.460 leadership uh right committee is that you know the big bucks uh wild pack for the uh for gives mcconnell

00:10:58.080 all of his power uh without the power in both the uh the senate and the congress uh the leaders are

00:11:05.680 significantly constrained is the way i would put it and if you go back to to uh you you know citizens

00:11:14.200 united and look what we've done i mean we've made them we had them armed and dangerous already the

00:11:20.680 leadership in both uh the senate and the house of both parties but when we citizens united made

00:11:28.060 it nuclear uh and we've got to take a look at that because it's just not the way to do business in

00:11:33.900 america this has become a this has become a uh corpocracy uh if you will as a result don't you think

00:11:41.560 yeah it really really has um and and and then you add to the the funding lou you add the rules changes

00:11:50.360 over what last 30 40 years where where speakers have basically uh centralized power

00:11:57.080 into the leadership so that these major bills uh they're going to be it's going to be

00:12:04.000 negotiated between the the the top r and d in the senate the top r and d in the house they're going

00:12:11.360 to get together they're going to work this out and then and then they don't let us do they don't

00:12:16.340 let you have amendments they're going to put they're going to give this bill to you that has

00:12:20.040 maybe 15 20 pieces of legislation in it plus a whole bunch of other extraneous garbage

00:12:25.680 and they're going to give it to you and say we're going to do this uh uh in four hours um and they

00:12:31.600 won't they don't give you time to read it that you can't amend it uh you know and and paul ryan had

00:12:37.680 the most bills in history that that uh where you could not uh amend them the most what we call closed

00:12:46.280 rules so so you couldn't so so basically his speakership was run out of k street by the chamber

00:12:54.320 of commerce wasn't it yeah well it's that's that's what people tell me i was so new lou i was i was so

00:13:01.540 busy just trying to do good legislation and wondering why uh my bill i had a bill um that would have funded

00:13:09.460 paying for the wall uh on the border wall through the through a small tax on all of the transfer payments

00:13:17.020 that people send uh out of this country that that just leave our economy uh because they're getting

00:13:23.820 paid under the table they would have paid for that wall many times over he paul assigned it to seven

00:13:30.180 committees and so i was fighting on all of that front um and trying to protect president trump from the

00:13:37.220 the false allegations against him and in in reality what was happening is the power center

00:13:45.280 was preventing significant uh actions from being happened everything from the the paul ryan repeal

00:13:52.260 that's all of that paul ryan and mitch mcconnell were the president's biggest enemies on capitol hill

00:13:58.460 i'll give the president credit i i can't imagine as he did several times actually sitting down and

00:14:04.460 grinning across the table from those guys because my temptation would have been to slap him right

00:14:09.120 upside the head i mean metaphorically i don't mean physically yeah uh and the fact of the matter is

00:14:15.980 uh he put up with them way too long and what didn't get enough support at all uh from the republican

00:14:22.860 party in any fashion as president and what he accomplished is amazing but i want to i want to get us

00:14:28.500 back to this and and that is the leadership and what's going to happen here uh what are you going

00:14:35.120 to do and how much support do you have and what's it going to take for you to prevail well um i got in

00:14:43.700 the in the vote we took last week i got 31 people voted for me another five people didn't vote for me but

00:14:50.300 they they voted against kevin and kevin had 188 but i cannot tell you how many people came up to me and i

00:14:56.420 and i'm talking to people daily uh now and and they're starting to realize kevin will not be

00:15:02.980 the speaker of the house because look i saw a projection this morning that we're going to have

00:15:08.280 a three-seat majority at the most and the projection i saw was that we'll have a one-seat majority and if

00:15:16.200 that's the case any person can prevent you from being the speaker of the house because you got to get

00:15:22.380 to 218 and any republican can do that so people are starting to realize that and um i'm an alternative

00:15:31.180 and i and i hope that people would realize that i was the speaker i was the president of the arizona

00:15:36.740 senate for four years i know what it's like to have a fairly thin margin i was never that thin but i do

00:15:43.060 know how to work with people uh within the wide spectrum of the republican party to get legislation

00:15:51.760 through but i also have the courage to stand up to to uh the biden administration so i think i think

00:16:00.020 what you're going to see lou is is over the next month or so you're going to see people saying well

00:16:06.880 i can't get to mccarthy and mccarthy's not going to get there and that lot maybe say well i support

00:16:12.920 biggs or i don't support biggs but somebody else may emerge um so that on january 3rd but but if the

00:16:19.280 american people sit quietly quietly by it'll be it we don't know i don't know how i don't know who

00:16:28.400 would be it if if if we sit quietly by we have to be out there talking well if you know by the way

00:16:33.860 the american people got nothing to do with this andy and you know that uh this is all about the

00:16:38.820 members of your conference and the u.s congress and it may be that we're looking at a moment in time

00:16:46.260 a historic moment in which we will actually see republicans rise up and say they're not going to

00:16:54.120 just have a daisy chain that runs from john boehner to paul ryan to kevin mccarthy because in that

00:17:02.280 direction lies disaster we've seen it time and time again because in 2024 the president united states

00:17:09.520 will be donald j trump and we've got a bunch of rhinos right in the center of the republican

00:17:16.120 conference in the house we've got a we've got a i don't know what the number is 40 50 conservatives

00:17:22.000 in the freedom caucus and uh conservatives that are on the periphery of it this is a time for the

00:17:28.920 conference to actually come together and draft somebody that they think would be the right

00:17:33.880 leader uh everyone from moderates uh to to the freedom caucus uh you know i everybody why can't

00:17:43.040 that be done why can't there be an honest to god rising up on the part of the republicans

00:17:49.300 and they draft the man or woman they want to be the speaker of the house instead of sitting there

00:17:55.700 being told like children how it's going to be like you were talking about why doesn't somebody

00:18:01.280 take it as a damn insult that the leader of the house would give them four hours to look at a

00:18:06.540 800 page bill and vote on it the hell with that crap yeah lou that you're saying exactly what i've been

00:18:16.920 telling people and that is this is a this is a historic moment we can change the trajectory we look we are

00:18:24.480 in an existential crisis in this country um we're we're going to go one way or the other here and

00:18:31.980 and if republicans fail to make a dramatic stand in 2022 in in who our speaker is and how we fight

00:18:41.640 against the biden administration and and lay the foundation for 2024 then we weren't going to win

00:18:48.400 2024 lou that's how serious i think this thing is oh hell i'm not worried about 2024 right now i'm worried

00:18:55.940 about the fact that we won 2022 and we don't know what the hell you guys are going to do you guys won

00:19:02.280 an election i don't care what the margin is is it one is it two three i i don't know but uh we know

00:19:08.900 that the republicans survived small margins before from the 1930 to back to 1916 we saw it uh so it'll it'll all be

00:19:19.700 it'll all be okay but it could be beautiful if there just was a fire in that conference to do the right thing

00:19:28.280 to no longer behave as if as rubber stamps for the the conference leader whether it's the speaker whether it is

00:19:34.840 the majority leader whether it's a minority leader and i'm talking about both parties i don't care who

00:19:39.800 it is but yeah watching the dems just act like lemmings whenever schumer snaps his fingers i mean

00:19:48.100 it's it's preposterous well that's why i stepped up lou that's why i stepped up because somebody's got

00:19:54.220 to try and light that fire and that's what i'm trying to do right now and i'm trying to light the fire

00:19:59.340 and um you know i hate to say it i love these guys but but sometimes i look at it as i'm trying

00:20:06.120 to light the fire the woods wet the woods wet and and uh and i'm trying to first i got to blow on that

00:20:14.200 wood to dry it off and then we're going to light the light the wood and that's that's that's the hope

00:20:19.360 that i have and and uh i'm going to keep fighting it because lou we cannot elect somebody who's going to

00:20:28.500 do the same thing that has brought us to this point and and is is afraid to use every tool in

00:20:38.400 the toolbox you know you know when we we started doing the freedom caucus started leading this this

00:20:43.960 thing on vote and just process to say we're going to vote on every bill you know who gave me the

00:20:49.520 hardest time it was republicans it was not democrats republicans said it's inconvenient you're wasting

00:20:56.660 our time everybody's going to vote for this bill anyway and i and my my first step was to them was

00:21:03.280 to say look here's the deal if we don't use every tool then we will get beaten every time and if we

00:21:10.960 can slow this down keep them so busy that they're focused on on their 30 suspension bills and we

00:21:18.080 require a vote on every one of them then maybe we have a chance on the back end to stop 10 or 15 of

00:21:23.860 their bills because they simply don't have time to process them and get them through how about that

00:21:27.900 and they just that that's too logical that's too strategic i guess and you made me laugh with your

00:21:34.620 the wet wood metaphor because i i think the choices in that conference are going to be

00:21:40.480 wet wood dry wood and dead wood

00:21:43.360 well dead wood burns lou that's what i was gonna i got in your metaphor dead wood this would be a

00:21:52.280 combustible uh combustible uh agent for you yes uh we got a few of those so that you could spark you

00:21:58.200 could dry it some of that wet wood uh i i want to go to if i may uh the idea that uh these expulsions

00:22:08.940 of intel democrats uh uh uh il il omar elhan omar uh and it's just aoc's not going to be a committee

00:22:21.700 i'm thinking you talk about low hanging fruit now that was it for mccarthy he he doesn't want them

00:22:26.660 on committees uh what are your thoughts about that well i mean you got to get swalwell and shift off the

00:22:34.320 intelligence committee because they see things that the rest of us don't even see them and and

00:22:39.420 then and then shifts a leak a minute so yeah and then omar she's you know she's easy to boot up

00:22:46.700 foreign affairs because uh she she hates israel uh one of our allies and so that's the problem

00:22:53.260 but but as you say this is the point i've been trying to make to my colleagues performance art

00:22:59.920 this is everybody was going to do that everybody who became speaker was going to say look that she's

00:23:06.640 not going to be on foreign affairs those two guys are going to be off intel let's see who you would

00:23:10.780 rather have for intel and make sure that that we have a a an honest intel committee the problem is

00:23:17.860 that is that's that's weak sauce it's it's it's something that has to happen and anybody was going

00:23:26.340 to do it that was going to be this this speaker so let me ask you this let me ask you this then

00:23:30.580 what are you going to do that's going to light a fire under all that wet wood in the republican

00:23:36.260 conference first of all i'm advocating to change the rules so all the wet wood can actually participate

00:23:43.140 so you d you decentralize power so for instance on you got to stop the inflationary pressures the way

00:23:49.800 you do that is you do a budget how about doing a budget for a change out of out of 20 years

00:23:55.260 no budget for 20 years no budget in the six years i've been in congress so you you get the budget

00:24:01.340 process back to work and you do a seven-year balanced budget program that that would be

00:24:08.960 deflation and not that not deflationary but it would reduce the inflationary pressure

00:24:13.180 you start putting into minds that we're going to balance the budget and then you allow every member

00:24:19.140 to participate both republican democrat to participate in the amendment process on the

00:24:25.380 floor so you decentralize power and give power to them how about on committee assignments how about

00:24:31.020 we're going you expand the steering committee right now the steering committee doesn't matter whether

00:24:35.520 they've expanded or not it's it's the arm of leadership and how do i know that because kevin realizes

00:24:43.220 he's not going to be speaker so what he's telling people is what committee do you want to be on well if

00:24:48.240 the steering committee was as pristine as he says it is he couldn't make those promises so you open

00:24:53.360 it up you get people on the committees based on talent capacity interest not based on how much money

00:25:00.760 that they that they pay to the nrcc nrcc is important for sure but you don't base your committee

00:25:10.020 assignments on a pay-for-play scheme which is what that is so what what i'm talking about is

00:25:16.000 decentralizing power away from the speaker and allowing people to participate in a way that's

00:25:22.320 meaningful where they can represent their constituents everybody listening to you right now

00:25:27.140 is getting a a very good uh tutorial on the constitutional republic and its uh legislative branch

00:25:36.040 this is i mean it's awful when we when i think about what you're saying it's just awful that we

00:25:43.380 have a situation where a united states congressman or a u.s senator doesn't have to go to a committee

00:25:50.200 hearing doesn't have to really be uh boned up on uh uh you know appropriations doesn't have to do the

00:25:57.620 heavy lifting because they know this is just going to be swept through rubber stamped and it's going to

00:26:02.520 go down to a party line vote so what the hell and as a result you get people like swalwell yeah you

00:26:08.720 get the people like ship there's no hard work going on there they're playing politics full-time

00:26:14.080 and public policy hardly at all so i mean we are we're lucky to have survived these past 20 years

00:26:21.320 frankly because the way this government has gone the congress the congress and the house i'm going to

00:26:27.720 say this out loud it's disgraceful of what it has become and it isn't it is no longer the people's

00:26:35.180 house and doing the people's work uh it's doing whatever k street says whatever the chamber of

00:26:41.520 commerce says the biggest lobby in uh in washington dc lobbying the federal government it's outrageous and

00:26:49.820 nobody seems to give a darn uh yeah so yeah lou i just you know i'll just tell you that my colleagues

00:27:00.700 they're baffled some of them why we have like a 10 percent of 15 percent whatever it is approval rating

00:27:07.220 and i can tell you why we have a 10 or 15 percent approval rating we don't respond to the american

00:27:14.080 public and our constitutional duties we should be we should be trying to shrink the size of the federal

00:27:20.980 government um how about how about going after people uh like instead of putting 87 000 irs agents

00:27:28.780 into it how first getting rid of those 87 000 irs agents and then going after people like this uh this

00:27:35.680 this bogus special um uh prosecutor coming in to investigate donald trump which

00:27:42.260 use the holman rule reinstitute the holman rule which allows us to defund a bureaucrat or a small

00:27:50.660 agency boom like that well we we don't do that and and that's why i'm like we need a leader to do that

00:27:58.660 and um and if we're not going to do that then we will always be uh viewed with disapprobation we'll be

00:28:06.840 the most mistrusted institution in america when we used to be a trusted institution we should reduce

00:28:14.060 the size of the federal government devolve the powers back to the states where they're meant to be

00:28:19.100 and as we do that we'll shrink the bureaucracy we'll shrink the tax burden on people we'll stimulate

00:28:23.960 the economy and we'll be a freer people again yeah well you know one of the things that happened here

00:28:31.940 we've seen the house moderates now decide they're going to create a caucus that's uh filled i i guess

00:28:38.760 you could call it the rhino caucus uh because they mean to be so so tolerant uh that they're probably

00:28:47.620 reaching across the aisle unilaterally uh as a caucus uh what do you make of it uh they want to be a

00:28:54.160 counterweight they say to the freedom caucus well they've been there uh you know the tuesday

00:29:01.800 group the problem solvers those have all been always been there the mainstream group yeah main

00:29:07.520 street group those whatever they call themselves but here's the thing lou i do know this because

00:29:12.120 i i talked to to them they're some of my i've worked with some of them on legislation

00:29:16.780 they we can bridge the gap to get things that would be done that they don't they want a fence built

00:29:26.680 they they want to admit title nine so that men can't go into lock women's locker rooms

00:29:32.860 and and play uh sports they want to get to the bottom again of function and covet and how that

00:29:38.760 started they want they want a a budget that works for the american people they don't want us to go

00:29:46.000 bankrupt there are ways ways to bridge the gaps but having these uh without a leader that's actually

00:29:53.640 talking to people on the ground about policy and empowering people to solve the problems

00:30:00.960 if everything goes back to these the the leadership again i mean they they're they're making the

00:30:06.560 decisions and the rest of us are out there um you know as you said it we're we're out there without

00:30:13.200 the power to do something so so they they then try to distract you from doing good policy making and

00:30:20.880 doing good oversight and so uh there's this constant bickering and and contention instead of trying

00:30:29.260 to find the the few i mean because there are areas that would actually move the ball forward and return

00:30:34.160 us to more constitutional republic form of government well you're the right everybody agrees on yeah let me

00:30:39.560 inject some reality here into this into the fact that even if you achieve that and i and i take your

00:30:45.560 word for it i believe you could do that uh then you're up against the radical marxist dems uh almost

00:30:53.020 to a person the democratic caucus uh conference they are marxist dems they are destructive they hate

00:31:03.000 america they hate every institution that is worth a mention in washington dc they mean to destroy and

00:31:11.480 and i mean they've got some significant progress to report on the destruction of our judiciary the

00:31:17.600 corruption of the department of justice the fbi the federal bureaucracy itself the executive is out

00:31:24.440 of control it's run i mean this is a puppet president how do you do business with a group of people like

00:31:30.880 that who are trying to destroy america it's one of the to me that's it's your thoughts well first of all

00:31:39.640 since we do have a majority even though it's small that's where you where you bring these the the

00:31:45.100 moderate republicans back and say look we agree on these 10 or 15 things this will be our agenda and

00:31:50.840 it's going to be the fence it's going to be title it's whatever and it's balancing the budget etc

00:31:55.220 that's and you you keep them from going to democrats by by allowing them to be empowered

00:32:02.440 to to solve the problems that we all agree as republicans even the rhinos agree on on the money

00:32:12.060 parts of the platform well let's do that and that would be lou that'd be historic out of the last 20

00:32:17.620 years that that hasn't been done but then you move it then then then we have to deal with the senate

00:32:22.480 which is a as big a problem as you can imagine because we don't have the senate and you've got

00:32:28.020 10 to 15 republicans that are going to vote with the democrats on really bad stuff let me let me

00:32:34.800 remind everybody the reason you don't have the senate is because of a guy by the name of mitch

00:32:41.080 mcconnell yes he campaigned against republican candidates well i mean that's and that's right

00:32:47.700 but but what i used to tell paul i actually told him a couple times as i said i don't understand why

00:32:53.220 you keep telling us we can't do something because the senate can't do something the house is the house

00:32:59.260 we can do the very best we can do and that's what we should do and if it's not as great as as andy big

00:33:06.420 things or or even lou dog's things if if we're moving the ball forward on conservative freedom

00:33:14.400 constitutional policy we put it in the senate they have to make the bad decision they either have to

00:33:22.080 agree with us or they have to disagree and at some point the public will understand it is people like

00:33:28.720 mitch mcconnell so let's do our job for a change let's do the best job we can do and and that will

00:33:36.360 put pressure on the other side of the of the of the capital the senate to do to do a job and and they

00:33:43.460 might push some of this stuff through they may not push everything through but we might get some of it

00:33:47.920 but the point is if we don't do that in the house then we've just rolled over and we all become

00:33:54.460 wet wood that's that's the bottom line well said and i appreciate it congressman uh we we always give

00:34:02.520 our guests the last word and uh i'm going to turn to you for your concluding remarks it's been an
