00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. This is The Great America Show and welcome. Great to have

00:01:27.280 you with us. The Israel-Hamas war started one week ago when Hamas terrorists crossed over

00:01:33.820 what most Israelis thought was a secure border into Israel. Hamas launching thousands of rockets

00:01:40.180 into Israel and the Israeli war government declared it means to kill every single Hamas member in Gaza

00:01:47.740 and they've gone about achieving that goal with determination. Dropping 6,000 bombs on Gaza 0.86

00:01:54.240 already. Almost a thousand bombs a day and those bombs having effect. Killing Hamas terrorists in 0.95

00:02:01.440 untold numbers, reducing much if not most of Gaza to rubble. And the Israeli ground war hasn't yet

00:02:08.540 even begun. Their armored units not yet rolling into Gaza as surely they will. And polling shows that

00:02:15.700 Americans support the Israelis. Their vow to eliminate Hamas in Gaza three to one. Americans support

00:02:24.500 Israel in that objective, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. The Biden administration is remarkably

00:02:32.240 quiet these days. They've declared their commitment to Israel. That meant a carrier strike force was moved

00:02:38.440 into position in the eastern Mediterranean. More U.S. warships on the way and huge supplies of U.S.

00:02:45.300 munitions pouring into Israel. While Hamas supporters cry out with calls from the United Nations,

00:02:52.280 so-called humanitarian groups from global Marxist groups, for Israel not to retaliate further against

00:02:58.900 Hamas. Those calls, in my opinion, pitiful and repulsive in their hypocrisy and duplicity. 0.97

00:03:05.200 This war, it seems to me, will end only when Israel decides, and no sooner, as it should be. 0.99

00:03:13.420 In the midst of the Hamas atrocities, this war they wanted with Israel, Washington seems completely

00:03:19.680 united in support of Israel. But the swamp itself is in turmoil as they watch the House Republicans

00:03:26.220 searching for a new speaker. The Marxist Dems in the deep state seem confused, unsure of which way to

00:03:32.660 return. And as of today, they're contemplating what it would mean to all of the desperate swamp

00:03:38.460 creatures to have a Speaker of the House who isn't a Marxist Dem, who isn't a tool of the left or K

00:03:45.320 Street, not a rhino, but instead a real Republican, who will lead the conference with integrity and

00:03:51.760 advocate and advance the America First agenda of the Republican Party and its 2024 presidential nominee.

00:03:59.140 As of this moment, it appears Jim Jordan is the likely winner of the Speakership.

00:04:05.040 Jordan, the well-regarded and respected Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

00:04:09.620 It's unclear how long it will take for the process to elect the Speaker. No one knows, and I can't even

00:04:16.160 guess, frankly. Days, certainly, but no one knows how many.

00:04:20.600 And now, a late add to the confusion, brought to you by little-known Congressman Austin Scott.

00:04:26.420 He says he now wants to be the Speaker. It's unbelievable. Another establishment congressman,

00:04:33.280 a rhino by any other name, and a never-Trumper to boot. And the conference better wake up to what 0.83

00:04:39.540 McConnell and the boys in the Senate, the boys and girls in K Street and the Chamber are doing now.

00:04:46.480 The swamp would rather have a Marxist Dem speaker than an America First Republican. 0.60

00:04:52.560 It's a battle, and it's going to be determinate in how the republic fares, in my opinion,

00:04:59.540 over the coming decades. Joining us now is attorney and great American Mike Davis.

00:05:04.360 He heads up the Article III project. And Mike, let's start with what is now the week-long war

00:05:09.980 between Israel and Hamas and the role of the Biden-Obama regime.

00:05:14.500 Yeah, I mean, there are deadly consequences when Obama and Biden fund Iran, and then Iran uses that 0.80

00:05:24.620 money to fund Hamas. And we just saw the worst attack on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas in many,

00:05:34.020 many, many years, maybe 50 years. And they mass-murdered many Israeli people, including 0.87

00:05:40.720 kidnapping, raping, torturing, and murdering women, children, including babies, and the elderly. 0.98

00:05:48.380 And it's just sick. And I don't know how Biden can send money to Iran and then turn around and say 0.99

00:05:55.380 that he's pro-Israel. I just, I don't know how you can do that. Biden has created a national security

00:06:01.680 crisis for Israel by funding Iran. Well, if, you know, you, if you can put together six billion 0.86

00:06:10.640 dollars, release it to the Iranians, and look straight ahead and say, you know, I had no idea 0.99

00:06:18.360 that they would in any way be funding terrorism. Surely they're not. The largest state sponsor of

00:06:26.120 terrorism, you give them six billion dollars, and this administration is so inept that they can't 0.84

00:06:32.560 come to the conclusion that terrorists will do what terrorists will do. They'll use six billion 0.59

00:06:38.120 dollars to commit atrocities and attack Israel. There's, this is just mindlessness on the part

00:06:45.580 of the national media who puts up with this tripe and this pretend president who has no idea in the

00:06:53.520 world what he's being told to do. But only to this point, he has been following orders nicely. Thank

00:06:59.400 you. And what's so sick is that the Democrat coalition has now brought in BLM and these other 0.96

00:07:07.980 third world Marxist trash organizations that hate Israel and make no bones about it. You see BLM 0.99

00:07:15.740 sending out messages after the worst terrorist attack in decades, praising the paragliders, 0.99

00:07:23.240 flying into Israel to, to kidnap rape, torture, rape, torture, and murder women, kids, and the 0.99

00:07:31.580 elderly. I mean, that, that's where we are with the Democrat party today. If they have become 0.99

00:07:35.640 a coalition of misfits, including BLM, including these, these terrorist sympathizers in Dearborn,

00:07:44.020 Michigan at the movie theaters, cheering on these terrorist attacks, what the hell have we become as a 0.60

00:07:50.880 country? And why has Biden let our border become wide open where he is mass importing these fighting 0.99

00:08:00.120 age men, unvetted fighting age men from these terrorist hotspots? What the hell does Biden thinks

00:08:06.220 going to happen in America when he imports these fighting age men from terrorist hotspots?

00:08:10.980 It's amazing to watch this proceed. And Tlaib and Omar, in representatives of the, in the U.S.

00:08:20.740 Congress, I can't believe that there hasn't been a censure, that there hasn't been a condemnation of

00:08:26.460 their, their remarks and support of Hamas. Can you? Well, I think what the next house speaker should

00:08:33.300 do when that person's elected, I think he needs to put a resolution on the house floor, condemning

00:08:40.360 this terrorist attack against Israel, right? Including the kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of women,

00:08:47.520 kids, and the elderly. And if any Democrats votes against this resolution, house Republicans should

00:08:54.180 kick them out of the house of representatives. And if any cowardly house Republican doesn't go along

00:09:00.580 with this, house Republicans should kick out that house Republican. We could not have these 0.94

00:09:06.800 subversive terrorist sympathizers like the squad in the house of representatives.

00:09:12.480 Yeah, I'm, I'm too much a proponent of free speech, Mike, to go as far as you on that.

00:09:18.880 Voters, at least ostensibly, they won majorities in their district. I think free speech prohibits me

00:09:26.680 from my commitment to free speech prohibits me from joining in that call. But I understand

00:09:32.200 your passion and I understand why you would want to do so. I have a bloodlust, I guess,

00:09:38.900 just as high as anyone else when it comes to what has happened to Israel and what these

00:09:45.040 terrorists of Hamas and Iranians sponsored have done. Your thoughts?

00:09:51.220 Well, I think that your, your thoughts on free speech are quaint and that is the way we should

00:09:57.200 operate in America, but that's not the way we're operating in today's America with the Marxist

00:10:02.060 left. They play for keeps and conservatives and other people on our side want to play by the old

00:10:08.780 rules. And these Marxist Democrats want to destroy us. They want to destroy our country. They want to

00:10:15.360 destroy everything we stand for. They want to mass import these, these people from third world 1.00

00:10:21.940 Marxist hellholes who do not share American values. They want to have them come in as unvetted fighting 0.98

00:10:28.860 age men. And I think it's time for conservatives, Republicans, and other people on our side to,

00:10:34.360 to understand we're dealing with a real enemy here. And sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

00:10:39.780 There's no chance that these Marxist Democrats wouldn't do that to us if we, if we, you know,

00:10:47.100 criticize their side. So I think that we need to fight fire with fire.

00:10:50.700 I think we do too. I don't know what to make of Republicans. I have to tell you, I'm extremely

00:10:55.580 disappointed in them and the pace of their investigations of Biden. Let's remember that.

00:11:03.120 And I don't have to tell you, but remind the many in the audience, a, an impeachment inquiry is

00:11:09.500 simply that it's an inquiry move to impeachment. If you bring charges with evidence and move forward,

00:11:15.780 it's not a judgment. It isn't a conclusion. And the president has every right once impeached to

00:11:21.900 defend himself just as president Trump did not once, but twice. And I certainly would not mind giving

00:11:28.580 Mr. Biden that opportunity. What do you think? I mean, I think there's no question that House

00:11:34.660 Republicans need to move forward with their impeachment inquiry on president Biden. There is

00:11:39.020 strong evidence that the president of the United States is compromised by tens of millions of dollars

00:11:45.840 and foreign bribes and other corruption to what seems like every Biden family member, except for,

00:11:52.560 of course, the five-year-old granddaughter who they finally acknowledged after five years of political

00:11:58.340 pressure. You have evidence that Burisma bribed the Bidens and Biden changed American policy.

00:12:06.260 You know, $10 million from Burisma to the Bidens and Biden threatened to cut off a billion dollars

00:12:12.980 in U.S. aid to Ukraine if the Ukrainian president didn't fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating

00:12:20.100 Burisma and the Bidens, right? And guess what? This foreign bribery and corruption leads to very

00:12:27.200 disastrous consequences for the United States. That $10 million bribe has now cost American taxpayers

00:12:35.500 $100 billion and growing. That's a 10,000 times return because Putin smelled Biden's weakness and

00:12:44.520 corruption. Putin invaded Ukraine when Obama put then-Vice President Biden in charge of Ukraine.

00:12:51.520 Putin went in and took Crimea. Four years of peace and prosperity under Trump, and then Biden's back

00:12:57.720 with his corruption, with his incompetence, and so is Putin. And Putin's trying to take the rest of

00:13:02.380 Ukraine. Having a compromised president of the United States has disastrous consequences for the

00:13:10.080 United States. And that's why foreign bribery is one of the key reasons that you move forward

00:13:15.480 with impeachment on the president of the United States. So why are these feckless Republicans doing

00:13:21.280 all but nothing? We're going to take that up with Mike Davis as we continue here on The Great America

00:13:26.820 Show. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

00:13:35.000 And we're back now with Mike Davis, founder of the Article 3 Project. And Mike, just before we pause there

00:13:41.340 for a moment, I said, let's figure out what's going on with this Republican Party. Here we are. We're in

00:13:51.020 October. And nothing has been done in terms of moving evidence to closure in the investigation

00:13:59.400 of President Biden. Why not?

00:14:02.520 Well, that's a very good question. I think that House Oversight Chairman James Comer has done a very

00:14:08.980 good job of gathering. I agree. He's been he's been methodical. He's been dogged. He's been

00:14:16.260 underplaying his hand, frankly, and he is building the case. And I think it's time for House Republicans

00:14:22.780 to move forward with with opening this impeachment inquiry and being serious about this inquiry,

00:14:28.580 because you cannot have a compromised president of the United States like we have right now. I mean,

00:14:33.880 it led to you say you say we can't we have had now for almost three years. And he was vice president

00:14:42.760 of the United States. He lied to get the job of president. He had a lot of help in a rig 2020

00:14:48.680 election. When you say we can't we have what what can we do now?

00:14:55.160 Well, I think House Republicans, once they get this new speaker in place, what they need to do is move

00:15:00.660 forward immediately with this impeachment inquiry. They need to do it aggressively and they need to

00:15:05.960 start issuing subpoenas. They need to issue subpoenas for Hunter Biden, for James Biden,

00:15:11.580 for Joe Biden, for Joe Biden, every Biden family member who received the proceeds of this foreign

00:15:18.100 bribery and corruption. They need to be holden before Congress to talk to staff investigators to get

00:15:25.540 their documents. OK, I got I've got the process down. I understand. But what I'm asking you is how

00:15:32.520 you know, should it be by the end of this month? Should there be impeachment voted on and brought against

00:15:38.520 Joe Biden? Why are we waiting all of this? And you recited much of the evidence that is there that is

00:15:45.320 extant. It is in their face. Why in the world should it take another month or two months? They have played

00:15:52.800 this game until now. We're in the fall of 2023 and nothing has been done.

00:16:00.100 Yeah, I agree with you, Lou. I mean, that's been my problem with this House Republican majority

00:16:05.660 since day one. They I think they got off to a very slow and sloppy start with the oversight across

00:16:14.760 the House of Representatives, except for James Comer's oversight committee. And that's a very good

00:16:19.700 question. That's going to be a key issue for the next Republican House speaker to address this and

00:16:25.780 to write this ship and get moving immediately. That's going to be a big test. I wrote a Fox News

00:16:30.880 opinion piece on this for Kevin McCarthy, and it was a big test for Kevin McCarthy that House

00:16:36.780 Republicans control the power of the person, the House of Representatives. Right. And, you know,

00:16:42.960 if House Republicans do not appropriate the money to the to the executive branch, the executive branch

00:16:50.620 doesn't have the money. So House Republicans can say this. Look, the American people are going to put

00:16:57.260 the federal government on a crash diet because the federal government is spending way too much money

00:17:02.960 and we have interest rates that are out of control. We have inflation that's out of control. We have the

00:17:08.020 federal government that's out of control. We have a weaponized and politicized federal government

00:17:12.940 that's out of control. And it's time for House Republicans to draw the line and say, you're going

00:17:17.560 to take the budget we give you, you're going to take the diet we give you, or you're not going to eat.

00:17:22.560 I have to quibble with you on just one minor little item. The federal government is not out of

00:17:27.840 control. It's in control. It's in the control of the Marxist Dems and their

00:17:34.740 corrupt their collaborators, the deep state there. And this is not about, you know, a bunch of dumb 1.00

00:17:43.720 half-witted bureaucrats who are just going to wait around for the House to come to its senses. 0.98

00:17:51.040 The reality is that the federal government is not in any way run by the consent of the government.

00:17:57.760 It is not run by the House. The House can't even make Christopher Wray,

00:18:01.880 Merrick Garland, anyone. They can't even carry out their oversight duties because they are so

00:18:08.440 feckless and weak. And you know it, and you just don't want to admit it, do you?

00:18:13.680 No, I mean, I agree with you that the House is feckless and weak. And they,

00:18:17.180 like, other than James Comer, I haven't seen very good oversight from anyone else in the House of

00:18:22.680 Representatives, right? And that's the problem. And so that's why I think this upcoming appropriations

00:18:29.280 process is so important. You appropriate the levels of spending that House Republicans want,

00:18:35.620 and you include appropriations writers. For example, we're not going to have federal funding

00:18:41.820 of gender-affirming care or gender chaos with kids or prisoners. We're not going to have federal 0.66

00:18:47.700 funding of equity, BLM, BS, where it's racial discrimination. They can put appropriations writers

00:18:54.460 in this process that have the support of 60 or 65 percent of the American people and let Senate

00:19:00.920 Democrats and President Biden shut down the federal government to appease the Democrats' radical

00:19:07.080 constituencies like BLM, right? This is where House Republicans can draw the line. I don't think the

00:19:13.160 American people are going to lose much sleep if the executive branch goes out of business for a few

00:19:19.280 weeks until Biden and Senate Democrats come to their senses and take the reduced spending,

00:19:24.840 the diet that House Republicans need to put them on.

00:19:27.540 Do you think there's anyone in the House of Representatives who can outwit the Biden White

00:19:31.960 House, the Marxist Dems, and the deep state? Is there one, is there two, maybe three people in

00:19:38.200 the House of Representatives so smart, so clever, so energetic, so animated by their patriotism and

00:19:43.800 concern for the republic that they will actually outwit the Marxist Dems in the Biden regime and

00:19:50.300 the Democrat Party?

00:19:51.520 No, I mean, but I don't think you need to outwit them. I think you just need to say,

00:19:54.540 here's the appropriation, here's the appropriation bill that you get, here's the reduced diet.

00:19:58.840 You're saying you don't have to outwit them?

00:20:00.540 No, I just don't, I don't think this requires wit. This just requires will, right? You just have to

00:20:05.200 pass the bills that House Republicans want, the appropriations bills that House Republicans want,

00:20:10.560 with the policy writers that House Republicans want. And if Democrats want to keep the government

00:20:15.800 running, they accept this reduced diet with these policy writers. And if the Democrats want to shut

00:20:22.420 down the government, go for it.

00:20:25.320 You know, go for it, bring it on, etc. The fact of the matter is we're looking here at a massive defeat.

00:20:32.660 President Trump wanted and endorsed Jim Jordan.

00:20:35.860 Scalise represents a defeat for MAGA, for the American first, and for President Trump,

00:20:42.640 the presumptive nominee of the party. What in hell is going on in the House of Representatives?

00:20:48.360 We're going to continue the conversation with Mike Davis. We're talking big time politics in the

00:20:55.200 House of Representatives and some very, very delicate and small minded people who haven't got the guts

00:21:04.060 to admit the only person with an idea right down the Republican Party is none other than their

00:21:08.960 presumptive nominee. Donald Trump. We'll be right back.

00:21:17.840 We're back. We're talking with Mike Davis. He is the head of the Article 3 project.

00:21:21.900 And we were just talking about what this represents. Scalise prevailing, the rhino number two,

00:21:31.000 taking up the baton from the previous rhino, Kevin McCarthy, and Jim Jordan endorsed by President

00:21:38.580 Trump, and who President Trump made it very clear he wanted as speaker. That's a huge defeat,

00:21:47.980 is it not? Well, I mean, I don't know if it's a huge defeat. It's I think that well,

00:21:53.000 they've just told the presumptive head of the nominee of the party, the head of the party, 0.98

00:21:59.380 because he is the leader of the Republican Party to go to hell.

00:22:05.100 Yeah, I mean, I think that the House of Representatives, they're going to pick their own

00:22:08.240 leader. I think it's good that other people can weigh in on it. But that's a decision for the House

00:22:12.440 of Representatives. They've made their decision by picking Steve Scalise. I actually have more hope

00:22:18.800 about Steve Scalise than you do. I think he's more conservative than McCarthy was.

00:22:23.940 Okay, that's subjective. So let's you and I talk about something. What is the last thing he led?

00:22:29.100 Well, show me, just give me one example of his leadership. Was there any movement toward any

00:22:34.000 particular policy that he led over the course of his 15 years in Congress? Was there anything he did

00:22:40.300 in leadership that sparked of originality and fresh mindedness? Is there anything here that suggests

00:22:49.500 he isn't just another hack rhino waiting who waited his turn? No, I mean, I think that he's been a I 0.91

00:22:55.620 think he's been a loyal deputy to Kevin McCarthy for many years. I think. But Mike, I'm asking you,

00:23:02.320 what has he ever done? Has he ever run a business? Has he ever? What is it? What is his distinguishing

00:23:09.660 achievement that makes us think he is should be the number three person in the succession of the

00:23:17.500 United States government?

00:23:18.860 No, I mean, I hear what you're saying. I mean, look, I think that he is Steve Scalise is trusted and well respected by

00:23:28.060 all factions of the Republican House Republicans. You know, you even see like Matt Gaetz, who was a vocal

00:23:35.580 opponent of Kevin McCarthy, is supportive of Steve Scalise. Matt Gaetz has said he'll support whoever the Republicans

00:23:43.740 pick, whether it's Jim Jordan or that's not a it's not a testament for it to Scalise because he was going

00:23:50.220 to vote for or support whoever they put forward. Right. Yeah. I mean, it's like he backed Steve Scalise.

00:23:57.900 He just said, I'll go along with it. But it just shows you that Steve Scalise did not does not have that animosity

00:24:04.300 among the MAGA crowd and the among the House Republicans that Kevin McCarthy did. Right. So there's more trust of Steve

00:24:12.460 Steve Scalise. They're willing to they're willing to give him a lot more running room than they were to

00:24:17.500 give. They were willing to give to Kevin McCarthy. Right. So let's ask the obvious question. Was this

00:24:22.620 a sympathy vote because he has been and may still be taking treatment and has been ill? No, I actually

00:24:30.540 think his cancer hurts it hurts his chances to become speaker. You saw that with Marjorie Taylor Greene that

00:24:36.860 she says that she's a huge fan of Steve Scalise. But because of his cancer, he should just step back and

00:24:42.140 focus on his cancer. I don't think the cancer creates sympathy. I actually think it hurt his

00:24:48.140 chances of becoming speaker. I just think we're being we're being subjective. I mean, I would think

00:24:56.060 that the 435 members of the U.S. Congress would be sympathetic to one of their own who was going

00:25:02.220 through a serious illness. I don't I take a different view. I've got a sunnier view of the

00:25:10.380 character of the 435 representatives than you. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm just telling you what

00:25:15.420 Marjorie Taylor Greene said, but I was joking. I was joking. I mean, I think that, look, he what they

00:25:24.620 know about Steve Scalise is he's a known commodity in leadership and House Republicans are very

00:25:31.500 conservative in every aspect of their lives, including who they pick for their leaders.

00:25:36.380 All right. All right. You got me convinced. You got me convinced. But do you think it makes sense,

00:25:43.500 on the other hand, to have a speaker who is undergoing treatment and has to be losing some of his

00:25:51.020 energy and time to to that treatment? Yeah, I mean, that's that's certainly a drawback. Right. And

00:25:57.460 I guess I would say that this is going to be Steve Scalise. It looks like we'll be the speaker

00:26:03.180 for the next year or so. And we'll see what happens with the House of Representatives. I'm

00:26:08.940 I'm worried we could lose the House of Representatives in the next election. We could see.

00:26:14.020 I think you can almost take it to the bank right now. Yeah. I mean, I think Trump's going to win the

00:26:18.020 White House. I think Republicans will win the Senate and we could lose the House of Representatives

00:26:22.300 in that process. And, you know, so this could be a very short tenure for the speaker of the house.

00:26:28.340 When you've got the when you've got the conference divided, as it is between rhinos and conservatives, 1.00

00:26:34.060 and I'm I'm sure that there are moderates in between. But I don't see how the Republicans

00:26:40.780 survive this in the House. I think the American people are going to be sick, sick to their stomachs

00:26:46.420 watching one rhino after another. The country is moving, moving to America first. The movement is

00:26:55.400 alive and strong and well. And you have people like Steve Scalise. I have to say I have to say

00:27:01.520 it this way, Mike. Everything you've said is wonderful. It's glowing and it's terrific.

00:27:06.320 There's just one thing. None of what you've said in glowing terms about Steve Scalise is connected

00:27:12.060 to anything of substance or reality. There is no achievement. There is, you know what? He followed

00:27:19.160 orders. I mean, that's the big that seems to me to be the distillation of what you're saying.

00:27:23.740 He followed orders and didn't make a noise when it was in disagreement with leadership.

00:27:29.400 You know, if he's going to expect the same of the conference, I think it's going to be a very long

00:27:35.100 day over the course of the next year and a half. Well, I would say this. I think that that Jim

00:27:42.120 Jordan, you have to you have to vote for someone. And it looks like the two candidates are Steve Scalise

00:27:46.820 and Jim Jordan. And I would say to Jim Jordan that he's I opposed him for many years because I think

00:27:52.480 he is too much of a an advocate for Google and the rest of big tech. I still think he is. And that

00:27:58.680 is a major drawback for Jim Jordan as speaker. I think that Jim Jordan after a, you know, I mean,

00:28:07.080 we can you can you can you can rag down, you know, Jim Jordan all you want. Here's the reality.

00:28:13.140 There was one candidate who in Paul Ryan, the conference had to beg him because there was no

00:28:20.700 one else who wanted the job. They did the same thing, by the way, with Boehner. Now, suddenly,

00:28:25.320 Kevin McCarthy is anointed by by Paul Ryan, who was a do nothing, know nothing, who and a pretender in

00:28:33.640 that office, who selected Kevin McCarthy handpicked. And now here's Steve Scalise,

00:28:39.960 who would have been, I'm sure, Kevin McCarthy's choice at the conclusion of his speakership.

00:28:45.860 If that day hadn't come sooner than he wanted, it's just we we're looking at a mess here

00:28:52.520 politically that the American people, I think, are going to be devastated by.

00:28:58.260 Yeah, I mean, we'll see. I like I said, Lou, I think that we have to give Steve

00:29:02.260 Scalise the opportunity to succeed. But I think he's going to have that opportunity with the next

00:29:08.520 government shutdown. Right. Is he going to actually hold the line and cut government spending

00:29:12.180 or is he going to be wrong with the D.C. Uniparty? You know what? If you have to shut down

00:29:18.020 the government to do this, that means that you don't have a leader. This should not be about

00:29:23.200 coercion. It should not be about holding the budget hostage. This is this is the stuff that is

00:29:29.740 animating the rhinos who are pretending to be conservatives. It has got to stop. There's

00:29:36.860 got to be public education. There's got to educate and under. And by the way, that's reciprocal.

00:29:41.880 There's got to be education in those districts with their representatives. 1.00

00:29:45.780 If the American people are too stupid to figure this out and the representatives are too stupid 1.00

00:29:51.460 to do anything other than play legislative terrorist, if you will, then we're we're in real 1.00

00:29:57.760 trouble here in this country. And I don't think you're going to see it. Well, in my opinion,

00:30:03.600 add anything positive to the future over the course of the next year.

00:30:08.540 Well, I hope Steve Scalise proves you wrong, because I think he's a lot more conservative

00:30:12.400 than Kevin McCarthy was. And I think that he is more ideological as well. So I let's give him the

00:30:19.820 chance to prove himself right or wrong. Well, you know, I have no, no, no vote. So he's he's assured

00:30:28.320 of, you know, my willingness to watch him proceed. But I really wonder, as we wrap this thing up,

00:30:36.780 just exactly how we got to a point where no one wants the speakership. That was my point. Jim Jordan

00:30:43.580 didn't want it when Kevin McCarthy was seeking it. Jim Jordan wanted it this time. And they're only

00:30:50.080 two really who were strong enough to voice their interest in it. And then what you get at the end

00:30:56.800 is, you know, a surprise, another rhino following another rhino. That's not the way the first America 1.00

00:31:04.020 first movement is working these days. We always give our guests, as you know, Mike, the last word.

00:31:08.620 So have at it. I've given you a lot to beat me over the head with. I think that Steve Scalise is

00:31:13.980 going to prove he's going to prove that he is a conservative leader as the Speaker of the House.

00:31:19.660 I think Jim Jordan has his hands full with the critical task of going after the weaponization

00:31:26.320 of our federal governments. That is more than a full time job. And I think Jim Jordan should double

00:31:31.960 down his efforts there. And that will be the best combination to help get our House of Representatives

00:31:37.180 in our country steered back to the right track.

00:31:42.100 Well, Godspeed to that right track. And I mean speed. Thanks so much, Mike. It's always great to
