Speaker 1: You guys may know John Mellencamp. He's a singer songwriter.
Speaker 1: You'll know his songs, most of you will. They're amazing.
Speaker 1: They're songs that you can sing along to instantly. You
Speaker 1: may not even know that he's the writer of the song,
Speaker 1: but he's really, really, really good at music. John Mellencamp
Speaker 1: has also been very outspoken about politics, and a lot
Speaker 1: of his political statements he's made over the last several
Speaker 1: years have turned out to be I think it's fair
Speaker 1: to say disastrous if you look at the stats. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that's hardcore anti Trump, for example, right, he's
Speaker 1: a guy that loves Joe Biden and Biden nomics and
Speaker 1: thought that the world was gonna be in a better
Speaker 1: place if Joe Biden was elected.
Speaker 2: Now, look, if you're gonna make political.
Speaker 1: Statements, then you should expect to take some heat when
Speaker 1: you're wrong. You should expect to take some heat even
Speaker 1: when you're right.
Speaker 2: It's part of my job. I have people. It's now
Speaker 2: become so regular, and it's sad.
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of decency left in society
Speaker 1: with some people. Everywhere that I travel now, I expect
Speaker 1: somebody to say something to me or to give me
Speaker 1: the finger, or to cust me out. It's become a
Speaker 1: weekly event. I'm going to have more about this than
Speaker 1: just a second. But first, let me tell you about
Speaker 1: my friends at Patriot Mobile. For ten years now, Patriot
Speaker 1: Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
Speaker 2: Why would you care about that because.
Speaker 1: Big Mobile is giving big donations right now to hardcore
Speaker 1: leftist causes organizations candidates.
Speaker 2: Those include Planned Parenthood.
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you're tired of giving your
Speaker 1: money to cooperations that are literally fighting against your family values,
Speaker 1: then switch to Patriot Mobile. When I look down at
Speaker 1: my cell phone on the top left, it says Patriot
Speaker 1: and I know, with every text and with every phone call,
Speaker 1: I'm standing with a company that protects my values but
Speaker 1: also gives back to what I believe in. When you
Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending a message that you
Speaker 1: support free speech, you're supporting religious freedom, You're supporting and
Speaker 1: advocating and donating to protect the sanctity of life in
Speaker 1: this country because five percent of your bill every month
Speaker 1: goes back to conservative causes that you help choose to support.
Speaker 1: We're talking about causes like protecting our Second Amendment rights,
Speaker 1: for supporting our military, our veterans, are wounded warriors, and
Speaker 1: our first responder heroes, just to name a few. Is
Speaker 1: switching easy, you better believe it. You can keep your
Speaker 1: same cell phone number you have right now, keep your
Speaker 1: same cell phone, or upgrade to a new one.
Speaker 2: Plus.
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile also is going to give you free activation
Speaker 1: right now when you use the promo code.
Speaker 2: Ben.
Speaker 1: All you got to do is call them nine to
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. It's nine seven to two Patriot,
Speaker 1: nine to seven two Patriot. Get rid of that woke
Speaker 1: phone company you have right now and switch to Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com
Speaker 1: slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot.
Speaker 2: All right now.
Speaker 1: I was on a plane to New York City to
Speaker 1: host out Numbered on Fox News Channel, And this was yesterday,
Speaker 1: and there was somebody on the plane that mouthed off,
Speaker 1: and I just smile and grinned because I don't care,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to get into an argument on
Speaker 1: a flight like that, Like that's not what I want
Speaker 1: to do, right So I just hope that's all right.
Speaker 1: You got that off your chest. I hope you feel
Speaker 1: good about yourself. You had your moment. I don't give
Speaker 1: you a reaction. I smile and grin. Guys sitting next
Speaker 1: to me looks at me. He's like, dude, what was
Speaker 1: that about. I'm like, I work in TV and politics,
Speaker 1: and I said, welcome to American others.
Speaker 2: We've lost all civility.
Speaker 1: Now here's the part that makes me laugh about these rich,
Speaker 1: entitled individuals like John Mellencamp. They believe that they should
Speaker 1: be able to spout out on stage to you and
Speaker 1: write lyrics about how you're an ignorant, white trash dumb
Speaker 1: a redneck if you voted for Donald Trump, and.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to just take it.
Speaker 1: And when they get it wrong right after they make
Speaker 1: money off of mocking you in society and flyover country,
Speaker 1: and then someone in the audience decides to fight back
Speaker 1: or make a comment, they can't handle it because they
Speaker 1: are dictators on stage right.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 1: It's not a democracy to them. That's my show. I'm famous.
Speaker 1: You're a minion, you're a peon. You're the one that
Speaker 1: paid one hundred and twenty dollars for that ticket. Shut
Speaker 1: up and sit down, and I want you to hear
Speaker 1: John Mellencamp.
Speaker 2: He did an interview about a year ago.
Speaker 1: With Dan Rather, who still does these sit down interviews
Speaker 1: with Access TV. And I want you to hear what
Speaker 1: he had to say about politics, because I think it's
Speaker 1: important for you to hear this and put it in
Speaker 1: perspective with what happened is at his concert last night.
Speaker 3: Listen writing songs that resonate with what some people call
Speaker 3: quote conservative americal or reactionary America, people on the right
Speaker 3: hand side of the liverpoo expect. But were you ever
Speaker 3: worried that your lyrics or the songs might cost you
Speaker 3: something in the marketplace, or did you ever think about that.
Speaker 4: I am the most liberal person you know. I told
Speaker 4: Obama to his face. I said, man, you're just not
Speaker 4: liberal enough for me. And this is when he was
Speaker 4: running for the first time. He was in Boston. They
Speaker 4: had the Democratic National Convention and I played at the convention.
Speaker 4: I remember that, and he gave that great speech and
Speaker 4: I was talking to him and I just say, man,
Speaker 4: you're just not.
Speaker 2: Liberal or not.
Speaker 4: And you know, so if I am relating to conservative listeners,
Speaker 4: they're not listening to the songs you know, if your
Speaker 4: goal is to be as big and as popular and
Speaker 4: as famous as you can be, then you're in a
Speaker 4: different business that I'm in.
Speaker 2: That's not my goal now.
Speaker 4: I have as I will quote my girlfriend who said
Speaker 4: to me, John, we've already both been to the moon.
Speaker 4: We don't need to go there again.
Speaker 2: And she was right.
Speaker 4: I've been to the moon and I've found a bunch
Speaker 4: of dead beats up there. I don't need to go back.
Speaker 1: So that's the mentality of John Mellencamp right. Anyone who
Speaker 1: disagrees with him is a deadbeat. Everyone that disagrees with
Speaker 1: him as an idiot. If no one can be liberal enough.
Speaker 1: So fast forward till last night. There was somebody in
Speaker 1: the audience that was calling out John Mellencamp for some
Speaker 1: of his political statements, and this guy's political making political.
Speaker 2: Statements on stage.
Speaker 1: And then someone fights back and he doesn't like it,
Speaker 1: and so this is what he says, and this is
Speaker 1: what he does.
Speaker 2: Listen, it's amazing. Whoa.
Speaker 1: Now the guy just yelled, hey man, just play some music.
Speaker 1: In other words, stop your politics up here. I came
Speaker 1: to see you play music. Just play some music. John
Speaker 1: Mellencamp looks down at the guy.
Speaker 2: What do you think I mean, here's your thing, man,
Speaker 2: You don't know me.
Speaker 5: You don't you know me?
Speaker 2: And Joe.
Speaker 4: Find this guy and let me see him after the show.
Speaker 1: Find this guy and let me see him after the show.
Speaker 1: You hear that you don't know me? Calls them a
Speaker 1: you know what sucker, and he says, you don't know me.
Speaker 1: Find me after the show.
Speaker 2: Guys, I can stop this show right now and just stop.
Speaker 2: I can stop this show right now and just go home. Now.
Speaker 1: This is liberalism. It's it's it's it's derangement. It's trumped arrangement,
Speaker 1: sending to rum right, Oh, I can. I can espouse
Speaker 1: my politics and tell you why you're wrong. But if
Speaker 1: you say something back to me about just playing music
Speaker 1: and stop being a tool, right because I didn't come
Speaker 1: here for a political speech, then this is the threat,
Speaker 1: right like you minions out there, you worthless Americans who
Speaker 1: have made me rich and famous.
Speaker 2: I'm so rich and famous now I actually don't have
Speaker 2: to deal with you.
Speaker 1: I don't have to deal with you man, right because
Speaker 1: I'm John Mellencamp and I can look at you and
Speaker 1: call you a blank sucker and tell y'all see you
Speaker 1: after the show. So, oh, it gets better.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 4: Since you've been so wonderful, I'm gonna cut about ten
Speaker 4: songs out of a show.
Speaker 2: There you go, so there you go?
Speaker 1: Right, Since you guys have been so wonderful, since one
Speaker 1: of you got out of line and didn't like my politics,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut ten songs out of the show to
Speaker 1: punish you, the people that pay me. But again, I'm
Speaker 1: so rich, I'm so wealthy, I'm so famous, I'm so
Speaker 1: above you, and you people that buy my tickets are
Speaker 1: are are? Are are beneath me? I'm gonna cut ten
Speaker 1: songs out of my set?
Speaker 2: How you like them? Apples? Alwa's not done?
Speaker 5: Keep listening.
Speaker 1: There it is stops a song mid song about Jack
Speaker 1: and Diane and says, you know what shows over when
Speaker 1: I tell you that liberals are the most intolerant people
Speaker 1: that I've ever met. This is just another long list
Speaker 1: of the examples of just how intolerant the left has become.
Speaker 1: And when they get it and you tell them they
Speaker 1: get it wrong, or you tell someone hey, can you
Speaker 1: just shut up and play music? Basically like I'm not
Speaker 1: here for your politics, bro, You don't know me.
Speaker 2: I'll meet you after the show.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna punish the entire audience. I'm
Speaker 1: going to I'm gonna punish every one of you minions.
Speaker 1: And guess what, I've already got your money, so I
Speaker 1: don't even have to give you anything else. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: cut ten songs out of this and you know what, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start a song that everybody loves, get you
Speaker 1: guys to sing along for five ten seconds, and then
Speaker 1: on top of that, I'm gonna quit the show.
Speaker 2: How's that, you blank suckers.
Speaker 1: This is how intolerant the Democratic Party has become.
Speaker 2: And even at a concert now they will go rogue
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 1: Now, what happened with John at his concert is really,
Speaker 1: honestly no different than what we're witnessing now in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. With the Democratic Party when it comes to
Speaker 1: funding for Israel.
Speaker 2: What I mean by this, Well, the the US not.
Speaker 1: Only have said to Israel, if you strike back in Iran,
Speaker 1: you'll do it alone. In the US military says they
Speaker 1: will not help Israel if they do strike back against Iran.
Speaker 2: That's number one.
Speaker 1: But we also know now they won't give the funding
Speaker 1: needed for Israel to protect and defend itself through Congress
Speaker 1: without them tying it to other things at the left demands.
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that?
Speaker 1: Apparently we have to fund all of the other liberal
Speaker 1: agenda items, every single one of them. And if we
Speaker 1: don't fund them in a big bill together so that
Speaker 1: everything comes together right in a certain way where all
Speaker 1: the other port barrel spending projects of the left, then
Speaker 1: Israel will be held hostage while they're literally under attack.
Speaker 1: We also have been told now that House Speaker Mike
Speaker 1: Johnson announces the House will vote on measures for Ukraine
Speaker 1: AID and Israel AID in announcing the plan for the
Speaker 1: Congressional Chamber to vote on measures that would provide USA
Speaker 1: to countries such as Israel and Ukraine. Now, before you
Speaker 1: get angry at Johnson, I want you to understand that
Speaker 1: Johnson's not an idiot.
Speaker 2: Johnson understands that we need to get.
Speaker 1: Funding to Israel, and we may have to make a
Speaker 1: deal with the devil, meaning the Democratic Party to get
Speaker 1: that money to Israel. I'm gonna explain all this before
Speaker 1: you cast stones at him. I just want you to
Speaker 1: understand there is perspective here on what would happen in
Speaker 1: the Senate, which is not controlled by the Republicans. Johnson
Speaker 1: said there will be votes on the measures separately in
Speaker 1: four different pieces. Now that's the part that's important for
Speaker 1: you to understand, because there's been a lot of people
Speaker 1: in conservative media that have been over reacting to Johnson's
Speaker 1: plan and they don't understand it.
Speaker 2: I made a lot of phone calls last night.
Speaker 1: To make sure I understood exactly what the plan of
Speaker 1: the speaker was. So the measure is to I'm quoting
Speaker 1: measures separately in four different pieces. That will cover assistance
Speaker 1: for then another piece will cover assistance for Ukraine, and
Speaker 1: then another piece will cover the Indo Pacific, and the
Speaker 1: other will be about issues pertaining to national security priorities represented.
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green said she believes this is the wrong direction, saying, quote,
Speaker 1: our border is the number one policy issue that voters
Speaker 1: care about all over the countries, she said, so she
Speaker 1: believes this is somehow wrong. She said, everyone is having
Speaker 1: to pay taxes right tax Day was the fifteenth. Everyone's
Speaker 1: having to pay their irs taxes to fund a government
Speaker 1: that doesn't care about fixing the problems in America. She said, Instead,
Speaker 1: we're funding endless foreign wars and countries most Americans can't
Speaker 1: find on a map. The American people, she went on
Speaker 1: to say, are sick and tired of this. Here's a
Speaker 1: little bit from the congresswoman who believes that we should
Speaker 1: just be able to do one thing only at a time.
Speaker 1: I love the idea, it's also not reality, thoughts.
Speaker 2: What is your real many?
Speaker 6: I am firmly against the plan as it stands right now.
Speaker 6: Here's what Republican voters across the country know. They know
Speaker 6: that Speaker Johnson passed a two part omnibus that funded
Speaker 6: Biden's open border deadly open border policies, funded the DOJ,
Speaker 6: which has ninety one federal indictments against President Trump and
Speaker 6: wants to put him in jail for the rest of
Speaker 6: his life.
Speaker 2: Funded the FBI.
Speaker 6: That rated Marlago and gave him a brand new building.
Speaker 6: Now he's telling American telling Republican voters that he's going
Speaker 6: to put Ukraine money for sixty billion dollars, supposedly broken
Speaker 6: down to make it more appealing, somehow of funding for Taiwan,
Speaker 6: funding for Israel, and then some sort of national security
Speaker 6: package that includes the TikTok ban, which, by the way,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of Republican voters on TikTok, and Republican
Speaker 6: voters are angry at Facebook and Instagram for being censored,
Speaker 6: and are angry at sissek and DHS for spying on
Speaker 6: Americans in Facebook and formally Twitter. This is such a
Speaker 6: scam and people are so done with it. People care
Speaker 6: about actions. They're tired of Republicans going out and promising
Speaker 6: all these promises and saying how we're fighting for America
Speaker 6: and then sending their hard earned tax dollars. By the way,
Speaker 6: today's tax day, April fifteenth, everyone's having to pay the
Speaker 6: irs to fund this government that doesn't care about actually
Speaker 6: fixing the problems here at home. They just want to
Speaker 6: kick the can down the road. And people are not
Speaker 6: going to like any of this. They're going to be
Speaker 6: angry about it. And I think this is I think
Speaker 6: it's another wrong direction for Speaker Johnson in our conference.
Speaker 1: Plan.
Speaker 6: I haven't decided on that yet, but I just stood
Speaker 6: in the conference and told basically my entire conference that
Speaker 6: right there, and I just think this.
Speaker 2: Is the wrong direction to go.
Speaker 6: Our border is the number one policy issue that voters
Speaker 6: care about all across the country, and the Senate has
Speaker 6: not taken up a vote on a two our border
Speaker 6: package that we sent over there. They're just demanding that
Speaker 6: the House vote to fund Ukraine, vote to fund Taiwan,
Speaker 6: and send more money to Israel, claiming that our military
Speaker 6: is running out of ammunition. Well, you want to know
Speaker 6: something of these people in there cared about our military,
Speaker 6: why don't we do a separate bill to fund and
Speaker 6: rebuild our military with ammunition and supplies without having to
Speaker 6: fund a foreign war to do that.
Speaker 1: Ukraine has been a redline for you in the past,
Speaker 1: and you've said even recently when you followed the original MERSI.
Speaker 6: I didn't say Ukraine alone. I said we should not
Speaker 6: put Ukraine money before our border.
Speaker 2: And that's what I said.
Speaker 6: What is part of your consideration now as you designed
Speaker 6: what you're going to do here?
Speaker 2: Where do you why? What process?
Speaker 6: I'm telling you exactly what my thoughts are unfiltered as
Speaker 6: I walked out of the conference.
Speaker 5: Right there.
Speaker 1: You listen to Marjorie Taylor Green and there's a lot
Speaker 1: that she said there that I agree with. But this
Speaker 1: is the part that worries me about the Republican Party
Speaker 1: right now. You don't always get what you want, and
Speaker 1: we have a government that's set up where when you
Speaker 1: don't have the majority in the Senate and you barely
Speaker 1: have the majority in the House, you can't have a
Speaker 1: dictatorship because there's somebody else on the other.
Speaker 2: Side that believes the complete opposite of you in a way.
Speaker 1: Now, do I believe that we should be giving all
Speaker 1: this money and all the things that she mentioned? No,
Speaker 1: I don't, But I also know there has to be
Speaker 1: some level of compromise. And what's happening now, and this
Speaker 1: is what I think so many conservatives he'd understand, is
Speaker 1: if you are a conservative right now and you have
Speaker 1: this one two person majority in the House, you can
Speaker 1: become very famous, very quickly by threatening to vacate the
Speaker 1: speaker's office. Was exactly what happened last time to the
Speaker 1: last speaker, Okay, and Kevin McCarthy. And the amount of
Speaker 1: press and power, I mean, the amount of press that
Speaker 1: people like Byron Donald's of Florida, or Lowen Bobert of Colorado,
Speaker 1: or or Marjorie Taylor Green have, I mean, Warren Burber
Speaker 1: put this out closing the southern border is nowhere to
Speaker 1: be found. Her response to a tweet that was put
Speaker 1: out there by Speaker Johnson. So I've spoken with a
Speaker 1: House GOP conference on my planned address affical security supplemental
Speaker 1: legislation on the growing security crisis.
Speaker 2: This week, we will consider separate bills with a structured.
Speaker 1: And germane amendment process to fund our ally Israel.
Speaker 2: He goes on another list.
Speaker 1: But again, this is what Democrats are loving about Republicans
Speaker 1: right now, is that we can't get our act together
Speaker 1: to get anything done because we have so much infighting
Speaker 1: and every time Speaker Johnson has to make a compromise,
Speaker 1: and when you have a slim majority so none, you
Speaker 1: have to make compromises.
Speaker 2: That's governing. That's governing, folks.
Speaker 1: And we can sit here and keep getting our brains
Speaker 1: beat in if we if we hold the line and
Speaker 1: refuse to compromise, because every time that we refuse to
Speaker 1: compromise on anything, we lose because they have the votes
Speaker 1: to beat us.
Speaker 2: So we're losing. That's the truth.
Speaker 1: Now, we can sit here on our principles forever and
Speaker 1: we're going to lose the House.
Speaker 2: It will happen, Mark my word.
Speaker 1: Democrats will be in charge of the House before of
Speaker 1: the election if we continue to act this way. This
Speaker 1: is the warning I would love to have a big
Speaker 1: majority in the House. I'd love to have victories. I'd
Speaker 1: love for us to be able to dictate to Democrats.
Speaker 1: I'd love it if every Republican in the House was
Speaker 1: lock step with one another.
Speaker 2: The reality is that's not going to happen right now.
Speaker 1: We have a slim majority, and that means that the
Speaker 1: moderate Republicans also have just as much power as the
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greens, or the Lauren Boberts or the Byron Nelson.
Speaker 1: Like if I was in the House right now, I
Speaker 1: think many of you know me pretty well. I would
Speaker 1: be more of a hardcore conservative, principled individual who would
Speaker 1: be fighting.
Speaker 2: But I'm also not an idiot.
Speaker 1: I understand how democracy works and how votes work, and
Speaker 1: how governing works.
Speaker 2: And sometimes the job.
Speaker 1: When you get sent to Washington is to do the
Speaker 1: best deal you can get for your constituents and not
Speaker 1: walk around like you're a terrorist.
Speaker 2: Okay, if I don't get what I want, you're not
Speaker 2: going to get to be this anymore.
Speaker 1: Why do you think some of me moderate Republicans have
Speaker 1: quit the House because they say it's the most dysfunctional house.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, it's the most dysfunctional house they've ever seen.
Speaker 1: No one's getting anything done right now because no one
Speaker 1: can move because they're paralyzed by a few members. Lauren
Speaker 1: Bobert is a great example of this, and I like
Speaker 1: her energy. I really do the House Freedom Cack has
Speaker 1: issued a statement expressing support for the prospect of Israel AID,
Speaker 1: while declaring that it would not abide using the emergency
Speaker 1: situation Israel as a bogus justification to ram through Ukraine
Speaker 1: AID with no offset and no security for our own
Speaker 1: wide open borders. Now, I agree we need to dig
Speaker 1: in here. The question is for how long? And do
Speaker 1: you do it indefinitely? Knowing that you're one vote away
Speaker 1: from total disaster. And let's say that we've moved to vacate,
Speaker 1: you know, as Marjorie Taylor Green was talking about a
Speaker 1: second ago, and you get rid of Mike Johnson, who's
Speaker 1: gonna get.
Speaker 2: The job next?
Speaker 1: Let's say that we give it to a hardcore conservative, right,
Speaker 1: the people that believe they are the most conservative of all,
Speaker 1: like Marjorie. You think anybody's gonna follow her. She wouldn't
Speaker 1: win the speaker's vote. So that's done Byron Donalds, who
Speaker 1: I like. Is that guy gonna become the speaker?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna get the majority of the votes? No,
Speaker 1: so that guy's done. Lauren Bobert, Let's go with Lauren Bobert.
Speaker 1: For example, you think Lauren Bobert is gonna get the
Speaker 1: votes seed to become speaker?
Speaker 2: No, so that idea is done. U. Matt Gates.
Speaker 1: Let's go with Matt Gates. Okay, is he gonna get
Speaker 1: the speakership? No, so that that idea is done. So so,
Speaker 1: who are you gonna get If you're gonna replace Kevin
Speaker 1: McCarthy with Mike Johnson, and Mike Johnson isn't good enough
Speaker 1: for you while you have a extremely slim majority.
Speaker 2: Who are you gonna get next? That's gonna be good? Right?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Who is that gonna be? Speaker? Johnson put out his tweet.
Speaker 2: I want to go back this, he said, I'm smoking.
Speaker 1: With the House up conference, I planned to addressed National
Speaker 1: Security supplemental legislation on the growing security crisis. This week,
Speaker 1: we will consider separate bills with a structured and germane
Speaker 1: amendment process to quote one fund our ally Israel, two
Speaker 1: support Ukraine and its war against Russian aggression. Three Strengthen
Speaker 1: our allies the Indo Pacific four pass additional measures accounter
Speaker 1: our adversaries and strengthen our national security. Now there are
Speaker 1: people that say, well, you need to have something in
Speaker 1: there on border security. I'm also a realist here. You
Speaker 1: could pass the most incredible border security bill in history
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: right now because the Senate will not pass it because
Speaker 1: the Senate is run by Democrats.
Speaker 2: That's the reality.
Speaker 1: So you can sit here and you can, in fact,
Speaker 1: you can pass legislation to finish the wall.
Speaker 2: Does it matter, No, because you don't have the votes
Speaker 2: in the Senate. And we've done this.
Speaker 1: Remember when we did this, like over and over and
Speaker 1: over again. How many times we passed the border security
Speaker 1: funding over and over again when Trump was in office, right,
Speaker 1: and then the Democrats and Senate we had all these fights.
Speaker 2: Remember all that, right, right? You remember you remember when
Speaker 2: that happened?
Speaker 1: Like that happened not that long ago, folks, And then
Speaker 1: it became a procedural process. I'm the most conservative. I
Speaker 1: just passed it again. No no, no, I'm the most conservative.
Speaker 1: I just passed again. No no, no, I'm the most conservative.
Speaker 1: I passed it again. That that's what happens. Okay, Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the ballgame, folks. And we did that over
Speaker 1: and over again and none of it passed. Ever, you
Speaker 1: want to get stuff done, we need to send better
Speaker 1: conservatives to Congress, no doubt about it. We need to
Speaker 1: send better conservatives to the Senate, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: But if you don't have the majority, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And even if we got that passed, and let's just
Speaker 1: say by some And this is the conversation I have
Speaker 1: with because I've been watching this guy since I was
Speaker 1: twelve years old. I started studying Congress hardcore when Newt
Speaker 1: Gingrich was a speaker and the Contract of America happened,
Speaker 1: and it was a brilliant to get a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff done real early on.
Speaker 2: It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Okay, And they did it in nineteen ninety four, and
Speaker 1: they came in with an agenda, but they had the votes,
Speaker 1: and they had enough votes to be able to do
Speaker 1: it even while losing some conservative votes. I would love
Speaker 1: to do another contract with America. I'd love to come
Speaker 1: in and have a list. But let's just say that
Speaker 1: we passed this massive border security build today. Let's say
Speaker 1: we did it in the House, and it went to
Speaker 1: the Senate, and let's say there were some senators that
Speaker 1: defected from the Democratic Party and voted for it, which
Speaker 1: they wouldn't, but let's just hypothetically say they would.
Speaker 2: Then we go to the president. You think the President's
Speaker 2: going to sign it?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: Of course not.
Speaker 1: But all of what I just said was a complete
Speaker 1: hypothetical that would never happen because we don't have the
Speaker 1: votes in the House to do it the right way,
Speaker 1: much less the Senate. Now, let me make a comparison here,
Speaker 1: and this is the full circle, and this is the
Speaker 1: most important part of what I'm going to probably say
Speaker 1: today on this issue. Just like I told you and
Speaker 1: explain John Mellencamp earlier, right, guy walks up there, this
Speaker 1: is what I believe, This is what I demand. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what I want. And if you guys in
Speaker 1: the minute don't agree with me, then I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: my toys and I'm gonna go home. Is that any
Speaker 1: different of a ridiculous stand than what some of the
Speaker 1: Republicans are doing in the House. Right If I don't
Speaker 1: give what I want, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: blow up everything here. I'm gonna blow up the speakership.
Speaker 1: We won't have a speaker. We're gonna get another speaker.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this all over again, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be dysfunctional. Is that any difference of a stance in
Speaker 1: John Mellencamp, You either agree with me or I quit
Speaker 1: playing for you.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: If you don't agree with me, I'm gonna take ten
Speaker 2: songs off the list.
Speaker 1: Is that any different than holding hostage on the other side?
Speaker 1: I mean, both sides can do this, folks, John Mellencamp,
Speaker 1: let me go back to it.
Speaker 2: I want to play it for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, this guy yells out, just shut up and sing right,
Speaker 1: And John Mellencamp's like, you don't understand.
Speaker 2: You guys are minions.
Speaker 1: I'll go home, I'll take my music, my guitar, and
Speaker 1: I'll leave quiet.
Speaker 2: Just play some music.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: What do you think I've inji you? Yeah, here's the thing, man, you.
Speaker 5: Don't know me. You don't know me.
Speaker 2: Hey, Joe, find this guy and then they see him
Speaker 2: after the show. Guys, I can stop this show right now.
Speaker 2: I'm just going s what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 4: Since you've been so wonderful, I'm gonna cut about ten
Speaker 4: songs out of the show.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 6: Jack had his game.
Speaker 2: Shows over. You know what, show's over.
Speaker 1: That's no different than what Marjorie Taylor Green's doing right
Speaker 1: now on every issue. You can't govern this way. We
Speaker 1: as Conservatives are getting laughed at by the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: because we have a majority in the House. And every
Speaker 1: time we dig in this way, the same exact thing happens,
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again. Okay,
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, the same exact thing happens.
Speaker 1: We have four or five people who are holding a
Speaker 1: legislative agenda hostage on the Republican side, and they have
Speaker 1: enough Sigo fans around them that are obsessed with them,
Speaker 1: like you're.
Speaker 2: Not the right thing.
Speaker 1: Way to stick it to them, Way to stand up
Speaker 1: to Johnson, wait to stand up to the Republicans, Way to
Speaker 1: stand up to all these people that are doing all
Speaker 1: these things. Way to go, don't don't don't stop, right,
Speaker 1: don't whatever you do, don't stop.
Speaker 2: You just keep sticking it to the man.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean we're winning, doesn't mean that we're moving in
Speaker 1: the right direction, doesn't mean that we're this is some
Speaker 1: sort of big success that's happening. I want to be clear.
Speaker 1: You gotta look at what you want, and you gotta
Speaker 1: look at the reality of what you may be able
Speaker 1: to get.
Speaker 2: And we are.
Speaker 1: Teetering right now on the edge. And I'm warning you
Speaker 1: of losing the majority in the House. Now, if we
Speaker 1: lose the majority of the House, do you know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You have any idea what's gonna happen. If
Speaker 1: we lose the majority in the House. Democrats will be
Speaker 1: able to run through trillions more in spending. They'll be
Speaker 1: able to do whatever they want to do with Ukraine funding.
Speaker 1: They'll be able to do whatever they want to do
Speaker 1: on issues like green, the Green New Deal and green
Speaker 1: alternative energy.
Speaker 2: They'll be able to spend us into oblivion.
Speaker 1: That's what will happen, all because we refuse to compromise
Speaker 1: and understand that, hey, there's things we want, but in
Speaker 1: a democracy, you may not always.
Speaker 2: Be able to get it.
Speaker 1: And if we want to get those things, and I
Speaker 1: want to get them, and I think most of you
Speaker 1: want to get them, right, I believe that both of
Speaker 1: us will. I think everybody in this conversation wants to
Speaker 1: get those things.
Speaker 2: We want to secure border.
Speaker 1: Then we have to actually support and win and beat
Speaker 1: the Democrats and have a majority of the House of
Speaker 1: the Senate with real conservatives. Part of our problem is
Speaker 1: we've elected a bunch of middle of the road people.
Speaker 1: We've elected a bunch of average people that we didn't
Speaker 1: vet who said, oh, I'm a tea party conservative. They
Speaker 1: got to Washington they actually were it. That's on us, like,
Speaker 1: we screwed that up. But we can't govern the same
Speaker 1: way that John Mellencamp does with his audience. When someone
Speaker 1: disagrees I'm out of here, I'm taking my toys and
Speaker 1: going home. That's something we cannot do. Please share this
