| 0:00.0 | He replied, yes. Jim Jordan. He's the first one to publicly come out and say, yep, he'll |
| 0:10.8 | run to be the next house speaker. Well, I mean, look, there are some people who are |
| 0:16.6 | elated about that. My question is going to be the same thing it was with McCarthy. What |
| 0:21.2 | do you plan to do about federal spending? What tools are you willing to use to fix it? |
| 0:27.1 | If you're not willing to shut the federal government down to fix the spending, then you're |
| 0:31.0 | not going to solve it. I mean, we can all, it's like, remember in those adventure novels |
| 0:34.9 | you used to read, do they have those when you were a kid, like in the 30s? Did they have |

| 1:21.0 | go into vote each time because my vote is the consent or the support of the people running. |
| 1:27.0 | I'm not for, I never vote on something just because well, I got a vote for one of these two people. |
| 1:30.4 | No, leaving it blank as my statement of I'm not consenting to what I know you will, will be. |
| 1:35.4 | I'm not supporting that. I'm not sure, even though Jim Jordan has a great track record of saying |
