a delicate balance for them their first vote is member of congress is going to be for nancy pelosi of speaker. and many promise that they wouldn t do s it so eyes are focused on that very first vote did you break your bond to your constituents on day one but even on day two, three, and four and bringing radical bill after call bill to abolish i.c.e. they want to get rid of interior border patrol agent, this open border mentality medicare for all with eliminate private health insurance and help bankrupt medicare. and then let alone all of this personal stuff where they want to keep going after president and ultimately impeachment. they that go down that leftest agenda that sid not where middle america and nip from republican to democrat are, are you guys ready to organize on these committees battle them inch for inch territory territory, territory. we absolutely need to. look i was there on the energy and commerce committee on new energy of congress in 2009 when they
the past of the 60 vote rule in the senate especially on appropriations bill they ll say well that senate policy that s senate business, you know the thing is we ve got so many bills that we sent over to the senate that we passeden with the majory vote and by the way, with a lot of those were tough votes to pass because not democrat would vote with us and we got it done and we re not one of the bills could get it through senate because of that rule. it really makes it hard for us to follow through and things we want it see done. but at the end of the day those are rules that we have to work with so we can work together to get big things done in a classic example of that is the tax cuts bill. you said we ve had more tax income than ever before in american history with the tax cuts. but we re spending more and borrowing more than ever in american history, and people look at this and they say, we re not even making really any progress. it is barely to that even republicans on capitol
border at least securing in a way that matters? well you know we don t have a consensus completely about how to properly secure the border. most of our members have voted in one way or another to secure border that includes building the wall.s the difference is that you have no support not one democrat we brought two different bills on the house floor in the last few months to secure the border. we have over 220 republicans voted yes not one democrat voted yes so clearly mentality on other side is not to support securing the border a lot of people talked off when it comes tile to actually vote to secure border they re not there. and even americans who aren t maybe where you and i are on immigration law, which they ll say at a minimum secure the border, you know about and what you do with different aspects of the immigration policy is one thing. but securing american s border critical it our national security. not one in the was willing to vote yes. here s the problem. republicans o
did. and they didn t try to go to fix immigration policy. so when they right now try to use, use the left and use immigration and they look well republican don t care about you. they didn t care when they have everything. and they try to solve this problem and not one democrat stepped up to vote when pelosi controlled that time she didn t have a bill to the floor not good or bad. i think in diners, in pubs, kitchen tables all over the country, they re not thinking about what pelosi did or didn t do they re say okay we sent republicans in they got a majority we got to republican house republican senate, republican president, we spend billions and billions of dollars massive debt, and we can t cobble together five billion dollars to try to secure that southern border. i think yeah, mark let me say this because first of all we did put at least one and a half billion in place surely not the five billion there is some wall
that s being built but on top of that we work closely with the president to rebuild our military after what president obama did to literally degrade to point where last year we lost more men and women in training deathen than in combat. by more than a 3-1 margin we also by the way got regulations under control. but obama era regulations were crushing the no just the middle class they were killing manufacturing in america we have reversed that. working with this president and tgetting bills to his desk that he signs. the tax cut bill, not one democrat voted with us, but yet we got a bill on not since ronald reagan in 1986 that we have tax reform get bill get to the president s desk and this was incredibly historic cut taxes at every level made our country competitive again and we re withel reiing rewards andy the way, the federal government this year took in more money to the treasury with those tax cuts but those people that would say tax cuts equal deficits. we took in more money this
