| 0:00.0 | Well, we have a new speaker. The question is, was the battle worth it? The answer? Absolutely. Kevin McCarty is a speaker of the house and the fight that took place. |
| 0:13.0 | And the holdouts and the debates and the new rules package that is coming because he is the speaker, was it worth it? Yeah. How much did save you? Hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending was, is what it was at stake and now we have rules in place to stop it from happening. |
| 0:34.0 | Chip Roy, it was the mastermind behind much of this and the chief negotiator and getting many of the Republicans that were holding out. He was one of them to then back speaker McCarty. |
| 0:48.0 | He did it because he said we needed to stop the excessive spending in this country. He was on stay the union. He had this to say. |
| 0:57.0 | Finish you. Right. So why is that? Because when you push back on the swamp, the swamp is going to push right back. We saw that in this way. That's okay. So you say, well, are we going to have this kind of conflict going forward? I hope so. But we started this now. It's January. |
| 1:11.0 | So the debt ceiling or the debate is going to be in a few months. Let's do it now, guys. Right. Get this out there. Both sides of the aisle. Everybody within each party. Let's figure out how we're going to actually fix this because the American people are sick of us not doing our job. |
| 1:24.0 | There is a bigger risk though for the US defaulting on the debt ceiling when it comes to the debt ceiling vote, then some short term embarrassment for Kevin McCarty. That's it. The default is a bigger deal and could actually cost billions of dollars understood. |
| 1:39.0 | But remember in 2011 when that cut cap and balance was negotiated and put in place. And frankly, it worked for four or five years to constrain spending. Now it had some side effects. |
| 1:48.0 | Defense spending was getting waxed pretty good. And we don't want to see that. We want to be able to figure out how we can get this going the right way to make sure defense is protected. |
| 1:55.0 | But we need to put limits on spending and then get to the table. You have to do that at home, Jake. I have to do that at home. Every American has to do that. |
| 2:03.0 | If we don't stop spending money, we don't have I promise you we will never sit at a table. Colin all read who's going to be on here a little bit that I was talking to in the green room. |
| 2:11.0 | Colin and I need to be able to sit at a table and figure out how we're going to fix this for the country. We can't do that if the leaders jam through $1.7 trillion omnibus bills like happen in December. |
| 2:22.0 | Where we have no debate on the floor. We have to open this debate up offer amendments. Do our work limit spending within our means and then move for the country forward. |
| 2:30.0 | If McCarthy fails to offer a debt ceiling bill that all has offsetting spending cuts. If he offers what the Democrats and the Senate want, which is a clean bill, would you vote to vacate the speaker ship? |
| 2:45.0 | Because that will now be able to be one person making that motion to vacate the speaker. |
| 2:50.0 | Look, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to play the what if games on how we're going to use the tools of the house to make sure that we enforce the terms of the agreement. But we will use the tools of the house to enforce the terms of the agreement. |
| 3:02.0 | No, you negotiate with Democrats and the Senate because as you know, I love by the way, I got you part here from right. Well, what about that? What about this? |
| 3:09.0 | There's no reason to go there yet. But this is what's driving the media crazy. They realize now that there are real changes coming to Washington. |
| 3:18.0 | They realize that people like Chip Roy and representative Comer are going to do what they said they're going to do. For example, Comer today, you want to know one of the perks of what we just accomplished. |
| 3:30.0 | Representative Comer said, hey, we're going to investigate Joe Biden. We're not investigating Hunter Biden. That's the point I've been saying for a long time. |
| 3:39.0 | Republicans need to get smart about this and understand Hunter Biden is not what you need to be focusing on. It's Joe Biden. Now we got a lot of intel from Hunter Biden. We have a lot of information on how the family crime network works. No doubt about it. |
| 3:56.0 | But I really don't care about the hookers. I don't care about the prostitutes. I don't care about the drugs with Hunter Biden. It is about Joe Biden. And what is Joe Biden been doing? |
