| 0:00.0 | Hello, America. And welcome to the Monday edition of John Solomon Reports, a podcast from |
| 0:10.5 | Justin News, we're today. We're going to spend the whole podcast talking to a congressman |
| 0:15.8 | on the front lines in Congress. Representative Lee Zeldin of the great state of New York. |
| 0:22.2 | He is joining us. He's been on the show before. And what we're going to talk about today |
| 0:26.7 | is really what lies ahead for Congress. What's the dynamic going to be like when there's |
| 0:32.0 | a Joe Biden in the White House, a 50-50 split in the Senate and a less than 12 member difference |
| 0:42.6 | between Republicans and Democrats in the House with Democratic leadership and very narrow. |
| 0:47.8 | What are the strategies? What are the challenges? What are the opportunities? What legislation |
| 0:52.5 | might get passed? What things can Republicans do to engage and get things done? What things |
| 0:57.5 | can they do to block things that they don't want? That's what we're going to spend the |

| 1:22.9 | us a really good perspective. I know many of you have asked, you know, is the world |
| 1:25.9 | coming to an end? Are they going to be able to get statehood for Puerto Rico and DC and |
| 1:31.8 | other territories? Are they going to be able to get the growth of the Supreme Court, |
| 1:39.3 | pack the Supreme Court? Are they going to get other policies in around? And I think getting |
| 1:43.9 | a first-hand perspective, what I've said on television is based on my experience. And |
| 1:48.6 | also based on well over 100 interviews in the last three to six weeks, a lot of the |
| 1:54.8 | people I'm talking to think the majorities are too slim for Joe Biden to get any of the |
| 1:59.8 | big wish list items or many of the big wish list items of the Democratic Party. So I'm |
| 2:06.3 | going to be interested to hear what congressman Zeldin has to say, what things he and the Democrats |
