end up with a new kachb date? let s bring in one of the 20 rebellious republicans, chip roy of texas, a member of the house freedom caucus nominated jim jordan for the speaker ership the third ballot. congressman roy, thanks for joining us. you ve been vocal about the opposition to mccarthy to be speaker and nominated jim jordan this time round and voted for biron donaldson. you seem different from some of your rebels, though, that you seem actually focussed on a set of pri of principles and rule sets. do you agree with that assessment or no? first of all, thanks for having me on. that s close to correct. i would take some issue with saying that i ve been in constant opposition to mccarthy as much as trying to offer changes that i think are p paramount to make the housework again. that s a bipartisan criticism. we haven t had an open debate since 2016. we can t keep spending money we don t have and allow the border to be wide open and endanger people and keep business as us
