The Great America Show - REP BOB GOOD SAYS KEVIN MCCARTHY WILL BE DENIED THE SPEAKERSHIP

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs and welcome to The Great America Show. Delighted to have you with us

00:00:05.340 today. I have to tell you I'm getting a kick out of the number of Trump-hating corporate media

00:00:10.900 outlets owned by oligarchs or global corporations that are running almost daily, fake poll after

00:00:18.380 fake poll, trying to suggest President Trump's weakening in his public approval ratings,

00:00:24.100 that somehow Mr. Trump is suddenly not the man to beat in the Republican Party in 2024.

00:00:31.640 It's, I think, really laughable because they're so obvious about it all. They're running these

00:00:37.540 fool polls almost every day, the establishment doing anything, no matter how absurd or downright

00:00:43.960 silly, trying to pry the President away from his base and to create a projection of weakness on

00:00:51.720 his part, his base that is actually now the Republican Party's rank and file, and it's still

00:00:57.800 President Trump's party, isn't it? Do the phrases make America great again sound familiar to you?

00:01:04.460 How about America first? They certainly do sound familiar to me. By the way, was it Trump who

00:01:10.980 invited Hispanics and blacks into the Republican Party? Or was that Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Mitch

00:01:17.540 McConnell and Karl Rove? Cartoon character rhinos who hate the man who did what they couldn't.

00:01:24.520 He won the presidency and they lost. Trump brought into the party working men and women,

00:01:31.080 minorities, blacks, Hispanics, the very people Romney, Ryan and Rove ignored or perhaps just

00:01:36.920 plain didn't want in their corporatist white shoe country club Republican Party. Trump's 2016

00:01:43.500 victory ended that party, and he is today the leader of the new Republican Party that the

00:01:50.500 establishment, the globalists, corporatists, Wall Streeters, woke academics and elites detest.

00:01:57.840 They're no better, by the way, than Hillary Clinton was, who looked down her snoot at Republicans 0.93

00:02:03.500 from all walks of life. She called us all deplorables, remember? We all remember that,

00:02:09.560 and she meant every word of it. And so did the Marxist Dems who run Washington today,

00:02:14.680 and they're still trying to destroy President Donald Trump. Not because he's no longer the

00:02:20.820 Republican leader, but because he is the leader. Not because he's weaker, but because he's stronger.

00:02:27.900 He's still the disruptor, and he will win in 2024. The Marxist Dems and Deep State have spent more

00:02:34.820 than six years trying to destroy this man with two impeachments, plots to subvert and overthrow his

00:02:41.920 presidency, falsify evidence, lie, the FBI and DOJ trying to frame him to bring him down with now two

00:02:49.780 special counsel investigations as well. And like the hyenas they are, these Marxist Dems are still

00:02:57.200 bringing all the power of government they can muster to try to stop him, to destroy him, and us.

00:03:04.820 And that conflict intensely defines the battle for the speakership in the House. That battle raging now

00:03:11.760 between RINO Kevin McCarthy and Freedom Caucus co-founder Andy Biggs. Because the Speaker of the

00:03:18.180 House has been exclusively RINO Republican-led for all but six of the past 22 years in this century.

00:03:26.080 And Trump Republicans are bridling under what they see as RINO collaboration with the Marxist Dem-directed

00:03:33.980 Democrat Party. A party trying to destroy America, our history, our Constitution, our economy,

00:03:41.140 our faith, our families, and the American way of life. Our guest today is embroiled in that fight,

00:03:48.260 Congressman Bob Good of Virginia. He's a member of the Budget and Education Committees, a strong

00:03:53.700 conservative supporter of secure borders, a great American. And Congressman Good is among those who

00:03:59.900 support Congressman Andy Biggs for Speaker of the House. Congressman Good, it is great to have you

00:04:06.000 with us. Welcome to the Great America Show. Thank you, Lou. Great to be with you and appreciate you

00:04:11.400 having me. This is some kind of battle that's shaping up on Capitol Hill in your conference

00:04:16.920 and for the Congress itself. As Kevin McCarthy seeks the speakership, how goes the battle?

00:04:24.620 Well, we are resolved to demonstrate the courage necessary to bring true transformational change

00:04:32.920 in the interest of the country, in the interest of the Congress, and in the interest of the

00:04:36.600 Republican Party. I tell my colleagues who are in this battle with me, we will remember for the rest

00:04:42.800 of our lives what we did at this time. And we've got to make historic change. The country is teetering,

00:04:49.760 as you know. There's so many crises that we could point to as the greatest threats to the country.

00:04:55.840 But the point is, we can't do what we've always done. As you know, we'll get what we've always

00:05:00.240 got, and the country cannot survive another two years of that. And so we're resolving the battle. We are

00:05:05.700 going to deny Kevin McCarthy the speakership. It's just a matter of that recognition being more widespread

00:05:11.980 so we can more publicly vet quality candidates who can get us to 218 that represent the conservative

00:05:18.200 center of the conference. Well, that is, that is absolutely, it warms my heart to hear you say

00:05:26.720 that. And I, and I appreciate your forthrightness and, and concrete statement that you're going to

00:05:34.380 deny him the speakership. Because I want to read everybody a tweet from the Congressman about a week

00:05:41.900 ago, what he tweeted this, what has Kevin McCarthy done over the last two years to demonstrate he

00:05:51.020 will challenge the status quo plaguing Washington and fight for the will of the American people

00:05:56.860 as house speaker. Now that was a, that was over a week ago. And I think you succinctly put forward

00:06:03.640 the, that, that was not succinctly anywhere else, as far as I know, put forward. And I think you hit

00:06:22.660 it right, right on the head from the, from Jump Street in this collision of forces within the GOP

00:06:30.320 conference itself. What have, have you seen anything that would change your mind?

00:06:36.000 No, sir. And really, Lou, if Republican members of Congress are honest, they would tell you that

00:06:43.640 not supporting Kevin McCarthy, it's actually doing the will of the people who elected us.

00:06:49.760 You know, I often will say, I'm not here to do the will of the people who voted against me,

00:06:54.620 because I told them what I was going to do, and they voted against me. I am here to do the will

00:06:59.280 of the people who voted for me, the promises that I made to them, all the things that I would fight

00:07:03.500 for, the things that I would stand for, and how I would cast my votes on their behalf.

00:07:07.440 And over the last three years, since I first started my journey to run for Congress in 2020,

00:07:11.740 you know, in 2019, when I began the campaign, I have had hundreds and hundreds of voters and

00:07:17.580 constituents in my district plead with me and beg me and implore me not to support Kevin McCarthy.

00:07:22.140 I came in 2020, and there was no challenge to him, and no one was standing up against the status quo.

00:07:29.200 He was elected by acclamation. I saw that as a freshman, and I said, I will judge him based on

00:07:34.240 what he does in my first two years. And, Lou, he had an almost unique opportunity just as the

00:07:43.140 minority leader to candidate alone for the opportunity to be speaker when we took the majority,

00:07:49.360 and there was nothing that he did during my first two years to earn my vote. He failed time and again

00:07:56.140 to lead. He failed time and again to have a plan. He failed time and again to use every tool at our

00:08:01.940 disposal in a tight minority where we're just a few votes short of the majority. And there's nothing,

00:08:07.920 again, that you can point to to say, hey, that's the reason why he should be the leader.

00:08:11.620 And we're in it right now, Lou, as you know, what's going to happen in this lame duck spending fight,

00:08:18.400 you know, near and dear to your heart, get this better than anybody. But we're not seeing the demand

00:08:25.480 now. The challenge to McConnell in the Senate that we in the House will provide no votes for this

00:08:33.200 terrible spending package is going to try to get jammed down our throats, and that we're not going to

00:08:37.920 give no bipartisan cover to these weak, feeble senators who want to give them the 60 votes they 0.81

00:08:42.700 need. And that if they do this, we will fight them tooth and nail with everything we've got

00:08:48.640 in the majority in 2013 and beyond if they do this to us and do this to the country. Most importantly,

00:08:55.960 he's got an opportunity in these two weeks to show the fight we haven't seen in two years.

00:09:00.920 Well, he does have that opportunity. But instead, what we're getting is a sort of an

00:09:06.080 a la carte version of an agenda. Now he is promising because he sees that you guys are your

00:09:12.220 backs are your spines are stiffening. And you are really a now he understands, I believe,

00:09:18.940 the dimension of the threat you pose to his dreams of the speakership. He's saying that,

00:09:25.140 yes, we'll have subpoenas. We'll subpoena every one of those 51 intelligence veterans who will come

00:09:32.780 before the for the House. Now, my guess is he means that the House Intelligence Committee will

00:09:39.360 will send those subpoenas out. And then you will have a congressman chairing that committee 0.76

00:09:47.120 that I personally don't believe is quite the right fellow for the job. And I'm talking about

00:09:53.720 Congressman Michael Turner. He is he's a rhino. There is no doubt of it. He is not a man who had

00:10:03.000 when he had an opportunity to take to take charge of an investigation chose not to. And I'm talking

00:10:10.900 about with the CCP China. He has disappointed me on numerous occasions. I'd like to get your thinking

00:10:19.480 on that. Well, you're exactly right. And unfortunately, sadly, though, Lou, he is

00:10:25.220 representative of the majority of the chairman that we will have. In the short run, what this is

00:10:31.600 about, it's not about a person or a personality. But yes, it is about the short run, this objective,

00:10:37.100 this battle to get a better speaker for 2013 and 2014 for the next two years. But the bigger long term

00:10:43.420 pictures, we're trying to break up the swamp cartel. And we're trying to strike a blow against

00:10:49.140 a system, a Republican system, mind you, that's hostile to conservatives, that's hostile to our

00:10:56.140 base of voters. And it's hostile to the input of regular members where we can't almost conceive,

00:11:02.020 Lou, that we would have chairman of our committees that you would say, gosh, those are real fighters.

00:11:07.020 Those are real champions of conservatism. Those are real change agents. You know, Jim Jordan,

00:11:12.280 sadly, is the exception. And there's one or two others that are decent and okay. But really,

00:11:19.120 the majority of the rankers that we have that are in line to become chairman are those who will

00:11:23.820 disappoint you. They have played the game. They have navigated the swamp system. And that's what

00:11:31.440 we're trying to do is to deal a blow to a system that's frankly hostile to the very things that we

00:11:36.920 all run on and the very things we campaign against when we're asking folks to send us to Washington

00:11:42.960 to battle against the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi agenda. Well, I have to say, I believe that those committee

00:11:49.660 appointments by Kevin McCarthy should automatically disqualify him from being speaker. There is no way

00:11:58.560 in the world that any Republican, any conservative, you name it, should ever support him. This is a man

00:12:07.400 who is asking to lead rather than leading. He is a man who in leadership, as you point out

00:12:14.160 accurately, has failed to lead. His voice has been muffled when he attempts to raise his voice to either

00:12:23.560 support or to challenge a policy within the Congress. He has not done it. He hasn't supported

00:12:32.180 President Trump. This is a MAGA party, an America First party. Whether he likes it or any rhino likes 0.94

00:12:40.640 it or not, doesn't matter one whit. Republicans in this country believe in the foundation of America

00:12:48.440 First. And I think one of the questions everyone should have, everyone on Capitol Hill should be

00:12:53.340 asked. If you're not America First, what in the world are you putting first? I want to hear your

00:12:59.360 priorities if America isn't your priority. What do you think? Absolutely. You're exactly right. How

00:13:06.420 did that become partisan, by the way, to be America First? How did that become a negative term to some

00:13:11.360 people politically? But past his prologue, and all you've got to do is look when he was the majority

00:13:16.800 leader. When we had the majority in 2017 and 2018 and with the White House, how he was part of a

00:13:24.740 leadership team that went to pass these massive spending bills with a majority of Democrats

00:13:31.160 instead of Republicans. With an opposition of majority of Republicans, he went and crossed the

00:13:37.320 aisle and worked to pass spending packages with a majority of Democrats. And I'll give credit where

00:13:42.740 it's due. Daniel Horowitz, in a piece that he wrote for The Blaze, really spelled that out well about a

00:13:48.540 week ago. And I recommend that to our listeners here. But how time and again, Kevin McCarthy worked

00:13:54.280 to get the support of Democrats to pass spending bills that were not America First, certainly when it

00:13:59.320 comes to our fiscal situation and to help put us in this massive deficit, national debt that we have

00:14:07.180 now. We can't just be the party that's not just as it's just not as bad as the Democrats. And it's

00:14:12.500 slowing the train that's heading down into the abyss, but just at a slower pace. And the Democrats do it.

00:14:20.460 Well, and and Mitch McConnell is going to be demanding much of you and the Republican conference. And I'm

00:14:27.820 sure he and Kevin McCarthy have already got this worked out. This lame duck session. Are we going

00:14:35.800 to see an omnibus bill? Are we going to see any discussion about the NDAA? Or is this going to be a

00:14:44.520 a last minute, furious, spend-a-rama by the by the Democrats until January 3rd?

00:14:55.220 Well, definitively, we don't know yet. We're hearing that we're going to be back next week.

00:15:01.340 We're supposed to finish our work this week. I fear the worst. I fear that McConnell will make

00:15:07.040 a deal with the Dems and and we won't be able to block it in the House. And we won't effectively

00:15:12.200 message against the Senate Republicans to try to, you know, put the fear in them of going along

00:15:18.200 because we're going to unanimously oppose it in the House side. You know, the best we could do,

00:15:23.600 as you know, would be a, quote unquote, clean CR at current funding levels into the new year,

00:15:29.940 only to the start of the new year, so that the new Congress that represents the will of the people

00:15:34.120 who elected us would be the ones who determine the funding for 2023 and beyond. But instead,

00:15:39.900 I fear that we'll get a bad omnibus bill that'll be crammed down our throats. And despite the

00:15:45.740 conservative opposition, we'll pass the House with the Democrats, pass the Senate with Republican

00:15:50.720 support, you know, 12 or 13 Republicans. And it'll be bad for the country, bad for the Republican

00:15:55.860 Party, and bad for the people who elected us to fight for them.

00:15:59.700 Now, Mitt Romney has become the poster boy for deceit, duplicity, and divided loyalties, to say the

00:16:08.260 least. What is the party going to do with these rhinos? You'll notice that the Democrats don't have 0.99

00:16:15.200 dinos, but the Republicans have rhinos. Don't you think there should be a quota for both parties,

00:16:22.120 the same number, so they have to contend with the same obstacles and barriers to the will of the

00:16:28.440 people? Or maybe just get rid of the rhinos? What do you think? Well, the American people in those

00:16:35.860 respective districts and states need to do that. But do you think if the roles were reversed,

00:16:43.020 Lou, and we know the answer to this, that the Democrats would be helping us and would be

00:16:47.640 providing the votes that we needed to pass stuff like we're going to do with the Democrats? Would

00:16:54.280 Democrat senators cross the aisle and help us pass our spending bills? Would Democrats in the House 0.99

00:17:00.040 provide bipartisan cover and vote for Republican majority bills? Would they do that? That's not 0.72

00:17:06.400 going to happen. And the fact is, as you know, give credit again, we're quoting somebody, but as Dan

00:17:13.480 Bongino likes to say, the problem is half the Republicans are really Democrats and none of the

00:17:17.760 Democrats are really Republicans. Well, that's one way to put it. The unfortunate part is that the

00:17:24.940 Democrats think and Republicans don't. I've never seen a group of people like these Republicans over the

00:17:31.840 last, well, certainly since 2016, who have just been, frankly, brain dead is the only way I can say

00:17:42.580 it. They don't think of anything original. They don't try to come up with ways to subvert the

00:17:48.760 subversives. They sort of whine and complain about how mean and vicious and awful the Democrats are

00:17:57.720 because they're Marxist and they mean to be mean and they mean to destroy America, but they don't

00:18:03.060 have an answer. Now, you're going to be in the majority. But what I have not understood is why

00:18:08.100 under Paul Ryan, who trained Kevin McCarthy, why there is anyone that is, you know, why not just stand up

00:18:16.920 and say this, this crap will not happen. We're stopping it here because there is, there are maneuvers that

00:18:26.640 you can make as the minority. And I'm talking about even in the lame duck session. Why not

00:18:31.980 go after Mitch McConnell? What is it exactly that the Republican conference has to lose

00:18:38.080 if they point out to the world what an awful, awful person Mitch McConnell is? And I'm making it

00:18:46.860 personal. He is an awful person. He has campaigned against Republicans as well as denied support to

00:18:53.600 Republicans. This is a man who is attacking his own party. Again, duplicitous Machiavellian. And by the

00:19:01.900 way, I don't know whose interest he's working in, but it isn't the United States. And the same is

00:19:07.420 true for Mitt Romney and, and that whole leadership bunch in the Senate.

00:19:13.380 Absolutely. And if, if we in the house, if we won't fight with every tool at our disposal,

00:19:20.160 when we're in the minority and there's no pressure on us, quite frankly, because we can just oppose the

00:19:25.280 Democrats and, you know, and, and they can pass their stuff anyway. But not if we get the Senate

00:19:31.460 to fight, but, but what are we going to do in the majority when the pressure is on us to lead and for us

00:19:36.900 to govern and for us to pass legislation and so forth. But you, you pointed out McConnell, but McCarthy too,

00:19:43.900 similar to what McConnell did in a high profile basis in the Senate races, McCarthy as well spent millions of dollars

00:19:50.900 this past election cycle in primaries against the will of the voters of respective house districts who wanted

00:19:58.900 conservatives. He spent millions of dollars through conservative leadership fund and other means to try to defeat

00:20:05.900 conservatives in primaries, money that could have been used in the general election to elect more Republicans

00:20:11.900 to the house. And so one of the demands that we're placing on whomever would become speaker, whoever wants

00:20:16.900 to lead us, whoever, you know, we're trying to post the job here and say, Hey, let's in my position, let's stop interviewing

00:20:21.900 the candidate who we're firing because they failed the job previously as minority leader.

00:20:26.900 Amen.

00:20:27.900 To say what we're looking for here as we want to, you know, interview new candidates for the position.

00:20:32.900 One of those is we don't play in primaries. The Republican leadership doesn't spend donor money

00:20:38.900 that's given to the Republican party and Republican funding mechanisms to put the thumb on the scale in primaries. 0.81

00:20:46.900 And McCarthy has admitted that he spent money to try to elect those who would be loyal to him and would vote

00:20:52.900 to support him as speaker, which I believe is effectively stealing donor money.

00:20:58.900 No doubt about it. And there's no, no, no one is, I think, under any false impression about McCarthy

00:21:08.900 and why he raised more money than any other minority leader in history. That money comes with lots of obligations.

00:21:17.900 And they're not obligations to the nation, or in fact, even to the Republican party.

00:21:23.900 I'd like to get to a couple of those issues, though, within the conference.

00:21:29.900 This is a time, I think, for a revolution within the party. I think it's, as you said, you've got nothing to lose.

00:21:39.900 You really have nothing to lose. And yet there are so many people walking around sort of whispering

00:21:44.900 and with their head down in the conference, Republicans, who are afraid to speak up here

00:21:50.900 because they're afraid they're not going to get money if good old Kevin is the speaker.

00:21:56.900 He's not going to dole out any money to them for their campaigns.

00:21:59.900 There's two years that we've got to save a republic.

00:22:03.900 And what you all do is, as you well know, is absolutely critical to the future of the country.

00:22:10.900 This cannot be the Republican Party of old.

00:22:13.900 Ronald McDaniel has got to be thrown out of the RNC.

00:22:16.900 Right. Kevin McCarthy has got to step away from the speakership.

00:22:20.900 He's not he he's not.

00:22:23.900 We don't need another Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

00:22:26.900 We didn't need the first Mitch McConnell.

00:22:28.900 We don't need a continuing majority leader.

00:22:32.900 Excuse me. Minority leader in the Senate of his of his ilk.

00:22:38.900 Yes, sir. You think about what we're going to need from leadership in the new Congress,

00:22:43.900 when we're going to just have the House and the Senate and the White House to be controlled by the Democrats.

00:22:47.900 We're going to need nerves of steel, spine of steel that we're going to be willing to defund this government,

00:22:54.900 to use the power of the purse, you know, to defund the eighty seven thousand IRS agents,

00:23:00.900 to defund the weaponization of the federal government against its own citizens, to threaten.

00:23:04.900 We're not going to not threaten, but they refuse to fund a government that doesn't secure its border,

00:23:09.900 to refuse to fund a government that doesn't go back to the Trump energy policies and surrenders that energy independence.

00:23:14.900 You know, that continues a vaccine mandate against its citizens that continues to allow, you know, 1.00

00:23:20.900 our law enforcement to collude with big tech to suppress information to the American people that we're going to refuse to fund that kind of a government.

00:23:27.900 And we're going to use the power of the purse. And as you know, you've got to be willing to say no and to walk away and, frankly, let the government shut down.

00:23:35.900 That's the only way you're going to have ultimate leverage, if they know you're willing to do that, which, as you know,

00:23:40.900 if you shut down the government or if you don't pass these spending bills, all that means is you've got to spend less than the revenue that's coming in,

00:23:46.900 which would be a great thing anyway. We've got $5 trillion coming into the Treasury because of the Trump tax cuts,

00:23:51.900 but we're spending $6 to $7 trillion. And all they'd have to do is cut the discretionary spending if we didn't raise the debt ceiling, frankly,

00:23:58.900 and if we didn't pass more spending packages.

00:24:01.900 And in a different but I think also larger perspective, this government is weaponized against the American people.

00:24:08.900 You mentioned the 87,000 IRS agents that they're hiring. My God, who do they think they're going to be turned on?

00:24:15.900 They're going to be turned on the middle class of this country. This is a government that try to go into a federal court and get a fair shake.

00:24:23.900 If you happen to have a left wing judge, try and get a fair shake from your prosecutor if he or she is is left wing and George Soros funded.

00:24:36.900 Don't even think about it. And oh, by the way, if you want to go to your school board, your zoning board,

00:24:41.900 and raise your voice about your concerns. Oh, you're a domestic terrorist.

00:24:46.900 This Justice Department, this FBI right now, I mean, the FBI for crying out loud, Congressman,

00:24:53.900 they've got three television shows going right now on TV.

00:24:59.900 Think about it. Now, why did they suddenly need three TV shows?

00:25:02.900 And how much money do you think they're spending to to drive those shows in the right direction?

00:25:09.900 I mean, look at what they now they're showing up for local murders.

00:25:14.900 How many FBI agents are there? What are they doing?

00:25:17.900 They are working more than ever in a in the role of first responders.

00:25:22.900 And by the way, the sheriff's departments and police departments, I think if you press very hard, they're going to be very upset about it all.

00:25:28.900 But that's what's going on all across this country with this FBI.

00:25:32.900 They're weaponized and they're directed. And you know at whom.

00:25:37.900 That's right. This administration, Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and a lot of them, they believe the greatest threat to the country is Americans.

00:25:46.900 The greatest threat to the country. And you touched on NDAA.

00:25:49.900 They've they've told their own military that the greatest threat to the country is climate and racism in the military.

00:25:55.900 And that that's reflected in the funding package, the NDAA, the hundred billion dollar bill that got passed through the House, despite the conservative opposition voted by voted for and supported by our own leadership.

00:26:08.900 And leadership again, when we could have defeated it because they couldn't pass it without Republican votes in the minority.

00:26:14.900 Rare opportunity of leverage that we had. We squandered it once again.

00:26:18.900 The fourth time we've done that on the NDAA, my first term here.

00:26:22.900 Well, it's outrageous. The Dems want to the Marxist Dems, as I call them and I think properly, who are driving the Democrat Party.

00:26:30.900 They they want to defund police departments all over the country.

00:26:33.900 But oh, no, they want to spend a lot of money with that FBI, which has become nothing more than the a group of brown shirts operating at the orders of the of the Marxists in this country and in this government, the deep state and the Democrats. 0.82

00:26:51.900 It's an it's an awful moment in history and it can and it only highlights how important it is, what you all must do for this country.

00:27:00.900 And I and even if it's a great personal sacrifice, I really think that the patriots in this conference and there are patriots like yourself in this conference who will stand up.

00:27:12.900 I think what we by the way, why not just draft a leader, Congressman?

00:27:17.900 Why not draft a speaker? I'm told Jim Jordan doesn't want to do it.

00:27:21.900 You know, I take him at his word, but that isn't his choice.

00:27:24.900 That's a conference's choice drafting because he's probably the in my opinion, he's certainly one of those who would be the right man to take the job.

00:27:32.900 You know what those who say they're not seeking it, that's actually a qualifier instead of a disqualifier.

00:27:38.900 Quite frankly, those who'd be willing to serve if called upon.

00:27:41.900 And once we make it clear, it's not going to be Kevin McCarthy.

00:27:44.900 And once we get past the denial stage and reality sets in, then we'll be able to more publicly vet those candidates that can get us to 218.

00:27:52.900 Those who have credibility and stature with the candidate with the conference and with the country and represent again, the conservative center of the conference and who would rise based on the merits of what they've done in Congress.

00:28:05.900 And we can do a whole lot better in the short run with a better speaker.

00:28:08.900 And in the long run, again, deal a blow to a system that's a system that's hostile to the very things that we say we stand for.

00:28:15.900 Absolutely. Well, we're we're reaching a point on this broadcast that I just it's one of my favorite moments where I shut up and I allow our guests to have the last word.

00:28:27.900 And I know there's some some some support for that in the audience as well.

00:28:34.900 Let me ask you to give us your concluding thoughts.

00:28:38.900 The last word for this edition of The Great America Show.

00:28:42.900 Well, I just want to thank you, Lou, for having me.

00:28:45.900 I want to thank you for your encouragement in this very important battle that will take place on January 3rd.

00:28:51.900 And, you know, there's many, many so-called conservatives who have faltered now in this time, this moment of time that we need people to come together and support us.

00:28:59.900 And those who who criticize Republican leadership and criticize rhinos and criticize the status quo, who now are trying to pressure us to conform and to fall in line and to support the status quo.

00:29:11.900 But I want you to know there's enough of us who are resolved to do the right thing to risk everything politically to bring transformational change.

00:29:19.900 I know that the Republican voters across the country are with us and we're determined to see this through.

00:29:24.900 And I appreciate you having me with you today.

00:29:26.900 Well, Congressman Bob Good, we we applaud you.

00:29:30.900 I appreciate all that you're doing for the country.

00:29:33.900 And as you and I have agreed, the stakes are so high and there is absolutely at risk is the entire republic, which we have to preserve for our own good as Americans and for the world as well.

00:29:54.900 Congressman, I've enjoyed talking with you.
