I should follow up with him and ask did i persuade you on mini vans . Thanks to you at home for joining me this evening. There is as you know major Breaking News tonight about the Republican Party and its leadership from the former president of the United States who was just smacked down by a judge in new york to the historic chaos unfolding in the house of representatives where Kevin Mccarthy was just ousted as Speaker Of The House. And we are going to get to all of that this evening. But to understand how we got here we need to go back exactly 1,000 days ago to january 6th, 2021 when a violent mob stormed the u. S. Capitol.
Thing for the country without a doubt. My friends and i agree on that whether or not we agree on the speaker. He did the right thing. He did the right thing i think for this institution. He showed it could function in a time of crisis. Finally, i think he did the right thing for our party. He made sure we could continue to negotiate and achieve some of the very objectives my friend from virginia laid out and achieve them in divided government which calls for some degree of give and take.

Out the door. I think one of the key votes i would look for going up on the board early on is andy biggs. Andy biggs, not only has i think a reasonable mind, i think he can step back from this. He will also be very influential on others. As goes biggs, i think a number of them will also go. I really do. And for, you know, Matt Rosendale has to look people in the mirror and say you are criticizing the speaker for working with democrats but you are the one that will be voting with the democrats today.
