20 or so holdouts against jim jordan have no goals, no asks or objectives other than to suffer the eight of us. The eight of us are willing to accept censure, sanction, suspension, removal from the republican conference. We will remain republicans and continue to vote with republicans on republican principles but if what this means is a pound of our flesh we are willing to give it to them to elect jim jordan for speaker. Colleagues blame you for this disruption. Mr. Gaetz we have a speaker designate. And i think the world was on fire when americans sat on krrs 33 trillion debt. The world was on fire to watch the dollar slip away. So maybe when the lobbyists and the special interests dont have total control of the speaker of the house and think the world is on fire and chai use. But chaos. This is legislating. We believe jim jordan is an inexpirational candidate for speaker. What do you want other than for us to suffer some consequence that we are ready to endure. The Republican Party failed the American People and delivered no wins. The two opportunities we had to force positive change were the Democrat Senate and white house was the debt ceiling and continuing resolution both of which we did. Jim jordan represents a chance to put a fighter and leader at the top of the republican conference instead of the special interests. The votes you are talking about, you say they want to punish you. They say they have more problems with jim jordan and his strongarmed tactics and saying the same things you said about kevin mccarthy. I have worked with jim jordan. He is not a person who goes to strongarmed tactics. Jim jordan is being blamed by the tactics of outside groups that jim jordan has no control over. We want to understand how to get to a Comfort Level with jim jordan. We allowed the assent of kevin mccarthy. We had specific goals when promises were made to meet those goals. We were willing to work with the team. Work with the team, help us select a republican speaker. How can you say these are strongarmed tactics . Had three votes the entire week. Back in january it was vote after vote after vote after vote. He holds one vote and tries to talk to these folks. I hear a lot in this conference you have to support the team and support the conference and support the majority. What do the American People say . Are you hearing what the American People saying . He is the most popular republican in this country. The americans want jim jordan and a lot of the representatives dont care what the American People have to say about it. Kevin mccarthy back in january lost votes for nine rounds. Wasnt until the 12th round. Jim jordan has republicans supporting him, i guess it sounds better to blame him for the actions of others than to tell your constituents you dont want to vote and continue to represent the special interests instead of grassroots republicans that gave us the majority. Kevin mccarthy lost votes for nine rounds. Jim jordan was voted on for nine rounds. And yet folks want to report that jim jordan has no path to victory after two rounds, now three rounds. We keep voting to elect jim jordan as speaker. This is not about us but bigger than us. So i think that needs to be made clear, not about the 435. About the eight of us saying this is what well do. [indiscernible] hes on record of the nine multiple elections. If he had that working in secret, why would he disclose that to the public . Thats to cast doubt. He rings the bell and everybody comes running. Republicans should take note when hen Patrick Mchenry reid his name, democrats cheered. [indiscernible] he is doing a fine job and needs to stay in that role. Speaker mchenry deserves credit for existing calls to expand the pro tempore role. Patrick mchenry has earned our respect for having abided by the limitations on the power of the pro tempore position and he should be comefnedded. What are you willing to do to be removed from conference . We are eager to better understand who are unwilling to vote to jim jordan would accept some consequence. We violated no rules of the house. That were voted on unanimously. If women want eight of us to be rapid on the knuckles, we are openminded to that. We stand behind what we did. We believe the republican conference needs to change, Congress Needs to changef we are the reason, we are willing to submit ourselves to consequences. If you were removed from the conference that would mean you lose your committee assignments. We share the Republican Party stated objectives and values. If they want to
