Thats not why i ran to congress and why i came to washington d. C. In fact, i was one of the americans in 2016 that looked at a president ial stage of 17 candidates and the only one that stood out to me was donald john trump. The very man that stood up and represented Republican Voters and americans across the country that were sick and tired of a republican establishment failing us over and over again. Thats why i supported him in 2016, thats why i supported him in 2020 and thats why i support him now. But what happened when President Trump became president and the republican majority in the house and the republican majority in the senate is the republican establishment under paul ryan failed President Trump and failed the agenda that we wanted to get done. They passed a 1. 3 trillion omnibus that did not fund the wall after we had stood at trump rally after trump rally and said build the wall. They failed us. They funded the uni party agenda. They funded the status quo that washington d. C. Just wants to keep going and keep going. And you know what happened . Thats why republicans lost the midterms in 2018 and nancy pelosi became speakers. Republicans didnt fight, they allowed the russia hoax and what happened when democrats took over the house it was impeachment number one and the entire war against trump continued and that war on President Trump are the war same voters ready to go and vote for that man in november and put him in the white house in january and thats exactly what is happening. Hes winning poll after poll after poll because hes the only one fighting while the republicans in the house and republicans in washington continue to cave and be part of the uni party. Mitch mcconnell has a 6 Approval Rating for a reason and thats because hes caved to the democrats and continued the disgusting Business Model in washington d. C. That thrives on forever wars and thrives on building a bigger government and taking away the freedoms bit by bit by bit of americans. Republican voters in america americans altogether gave republicans the house. They gave us the house in 2022. You want to know why . Because they were fed up with the democratic agenda that is destroying this country. Wide open borders. An economy thats crashing. Freedoms being stolen. Covid shutdowns, all the horrors that happened when joe biden took the white house and democrats took full control. Thats why we won the house in 2022. But what have we done with it . What are we giving Republican Voters to vote for . President trump is the reason why people are going to turn out in november and im here fighting every single day to push my party to be a republicancontrolled majority that will fight and pass his agenda when hes in the white house in january and right now, we are not that republican majority. We have a speaker, mike johnson, that we by the way i elected him and voted for that man so i have every right to be standing here. It wasnt a choice of america, it was a choice within our republican conference. And i voted for mike johnson because his voting record before he became speaker was conservative. He voted against funding ukraine. He was solidly prolife. He voted to secure the border. He voted to fight against democrats. Fight against the witch hunt against President Trump, but once he became speaker he has become a man that none of us recognize. He passed three continuing resolutions and then he finally passed a twopart omnibus that fully funded joe bidens agenda and the democrat agenda. Funded the department of justice that is wants President Trump in jail for the rest of his life, which is a death sentence. Fully funded fbi which raided maralago and gave them a brand new building as a gift. Prolife mike johnson funded full term abortion clinics. Funded the trans agenda on children that 70 of americans are completely against on both sides of the aisle. And he fully funded joe bidens open border policy, the number one issue in america. So i entered a motion to vacate, but i didnt call it for a vote. I was controlled, i was responsible, i was being conscious and caring about my conference and our majority, it was a warning to stop serving the democrats and support our republican conference and support our agenda. And he didnt do it. And we all went home and Republican Voters everywhere, americans were raging at mike johnson and he doubled down. He didnt change course. He continued and when we came back, he reauthorized fisa and he was the deciding vote himself to stop the warrant requirement of fisa. He voted it down, but only six months before that, before speaker, he was for it. That was the second betrayal. And then we all went home and america raged and i was still responsible. I was still patient. And i was still being careful with our republican majority. And then we came back. Then we came back and thats when mike johnson fully joined the disgusting Business Model of washington d. C. To fund forever wars. Yes, thats what this is. The uni party is make ukraine great again. The uni party is all about funding every single foreign war. They think this is the Business Model that needs to be done. Americans do not want to send their hard earned tax dollars to fund the murder in Foreign Countries and fed up with it and screaming as loud as they possibly can. Our economy should not be built on the wars in Foreign Countries. Thats know what our economy should be built on. Thats not how you grow jobs in america. Thats horrific and needs to end. Thats what the uni party does and continues. Mike johnson fully embraced it and he funded 61 billion 61 more billion dollars to ukraine. Funded a war in israel while he funded hamas and gaza. How do you support israel when youre funding hamas and gave more money away while our border stays open and today, 300 americans will die from fentanyl and tomorrow and the next day 300 more americans will die from fentanyl poisoning because theres a war on america, led by the cartels in mexico and nobody in washington d. C. Gives a damn and has enough courage to face it. And americans are sick of it. Sick and tired and fed up. And you want to know something, nobody wants to rock the boat in washington d. C. Oh, no. That would be uncomfortable, marjorie. We dont want to face the issues, marjorie. Lets wait and get through the election, marjorie. Lets just assume President Trump is going to win and well fix it next congress, marjorie. Im sorry, how many more americans have to die. How many more dead american bodies have to pile up before the house of representatives thats paid for by americas tax dollars actually does something about it . I want to know when this town is going to give a damn about americans. And thats what this is really about. Well, theres one thing i know. Theres one thing i know. If we get President Trump back in the white house in january of 2025, and we are lucky enough to earn the trust again from voters in america to have a republican majority in this house of representatives, we have a job to do. We cannot let people down again. We cannot fail President Trump. And this cannot happen, the maga agenda that i believe in, the make America Great again agenda that i support and americans support and the whole reason why republicans are going to turn out and vote in november because they support President Trump, we need leaders in the house of representatives that are going to get this done, not working for Hakeem Jeffries. Not working for joe biden, and not going to be twisted and lulled into continuing the disgusting practices of washington d. C. Mike johnson is not capable of that job. He has proven it over and over again. Now we have Hakeem Jeffries and the democrats coming out, embracing mike johnson with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss, and they are ready, they have endorsed him, ready to support him as speaker. They want to keep it going, keep the band together. Why . Because mike johnson is giving them everything they want. Everything they want. Every single thing they want. So its really interesting to me, Hakeem Jeffries that has gone through round after round of speaker votes and weve all witnessed it, havent we, america . And i want to tell you i think its good that america witnessed all of that and the democrats said his name over and over again, they said Hakeem Jeffries because they wanted to elect him speaker. Well, i find it very satisfying that theyre ready to vote for mike johnson and you want to know something, i want to see it happen and i want to see recorded votes. I think the American People, by the way, who i represent, i think the American People need to see a recorded vote of do they does congress does the members of congress support the uni party . Is this what they support . I think every member of Congress Needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they may. And so next week, i am going to be calling this motion to vacate, absolutely calling it. I cant wait to see democrats go out and support a republican speaker and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for congress again, having supported a republican speeblg speaker, a christian conservative. I think it will play well, im excited about it and cant wait to see my republican Conference Show their courage and show who we are, because voters deserve it. Is the republican party, have they finally learned their lesson . Have they finally heard the message from voters back at home . Are they willing to actually fight or are they going to just keep going along to get along because its really easy to do that in washington d. C. Im going to tell you at over 34 trillion dollars in debt with millions and millions of people invading our country, an economy that i dont know how is staying afloat because every Business Owner i know has been suffering and people fed up with the drama on television and fed up with the fighting and fed up with the bull from washington d. C. Are ready for a republican majority thats ready to support President Trump and his agenda in january of 2025, and im happy to deliver that vote for everyone next week. And at this time id like to turn it over my good friend and ally here, Thomas Massie and hell explain his thoughts on this, thank you. Well, its an honor to be here today with one of the hardest fighting and most articulate members of our republican conference. I think shes gone about this in a reasonable way, she is agiven the speaker multiple chance toss chance to resign, to leave. What are the bee trails to our party and country . The first betrayal was the omnibus deal. Under Kevin Mccarthy we did seven separate spending bills. And when mike johnson entered did we work on the other five . No, disposed of and an omnibus bill that spends more than Nancy Pelosis omnibus build that builds the fbi a brand new building and here we are in our Judiciary Committee asking them for answers, they mock us. They thumb their noses at us. And why shouldnt they. If were going to build them a new building and send them strongly worded letters as if were going to do something about their insolence. The second betrayal of mike johnson was passing fisa without warrants. Did he do this in the property way . No. The authority for the fisa 702 program rests with the Judiciary Committee, but mike johnson decided to let the Intel Committee run this program and when it came and fought hard in the rules committee and fought hard on the warrant and whether you should have a warrant to file on americans. This is a constitutionally redundant vote and it should be obvious to anybody thats read the constitution that you need warrants and you can say, well, poor mike johnson hes got such a slim majority. You cant get everything you want, Marjorie Taylor greene or Thomas Massie hes got a slim majority. He was the slim majority that cost the deciding vote that says you can spy on americans without a warrant. It was 212212, he didnt vote on the other amendments, he went out of his way to vote no on that amendment and was the deciding vote on fisa without warrants. So, what was the third betrayal . The third and final betrayal . Nearly 100 billion dollars for foreign wars and he just put that on the floor. Hey, started out as a veterans bill to give veterans Better Benefits hr15. Chuck schumer stripped every word out of it and put the supplemental in it and sent it back to the house and using the rules committee which i sat on, and they pretended like we voted on four separate bills, they changed them to amendments and concurred with the senate bill and sent back to the senate. This whole thing was pre conferenced with Chuck Schumer. Why is it that in all three bee trails the senate didnt change a word of the bills when they went from the senate to the house . Its because mike johnson was doing Chuck Schumer and joe bidens biddingment they didnt need to change a word of the bills. Chuck schumer wanted those bills exactly as mike johnson passed them and promised. Fisa without warrant, omnibus with a new building for the fbi and 100 billion in foreign aid with no Border Security in it. As ms. Greene stated our border is wide open. Wide open, this was our last chance for leverage and the speaker gave it all up. Now, why would Hakeem Jeffries endorse a republican speaker . Arent they arch rivals . I mean, what does Hakeem Jeffries want after all . He wants an open border . He wants to increase spending . He wants to take back the majority and most of all, he and the democrat conference here want President Trump to lose. Who do they think can deliver on all four of those things . Mike johnson will deliver these things for them, increased spending, open borders, a loss of our majority and a loss for President Trump because this is so demote demotivating. And it was from another country, not the american flag. Mike johnson should have brought the white flag and waved it in front of us. It was a capitulation, it was humiliation not just to us, but the american taxpayers who pay tax dollars, and fund other countrys borders without securing our borders. Im going to challenge my colleagues to think about it this weekend because as Marjorie Taylor greene said, were coming back and were voting on this next week and you get to have the choice if youre a republican, are you going to embrace Hakeem Jeffries like mike johnson has, are you going to embrace the uni party like mike johnson has when you come back are you going to fight for americans who gave us the majority and you may say, oh, well, this is lovely bipartisanship. Look youve got Hakeem Jeffries hugging Speaker Mike Johnson and helping him keep his majority or keep his seat, but the reality is, this isnt policy. This isnt like some criminal Justice Reform where the left and the right can agree. This is about who holds that gavel. Right now they are both holding that gavel. They are sharing power about procedures, about what bills will come to the floor. About how long well debate those bills and which committees are compromised by which member. They are sharing power and you may say, ill close with this, congressman massie Hakeem Jeffries told you hes going to save Mike Johnsons bacon. Why did through with this, its a futile exercise. Why would you go through with this . Look, we didnt get elected to make excuses. We didnt get elect today say we shouldnt even try. We got elected to come here and give it our best. And also, to impose transparency. What we see is coming out of the uni party and it will be consolidated and transparent and apparent next week to all americans when this vote happens. Some of our colleagues have thrown up their hands in frustration and apathy. Lets not even try, lets coast it out. I tell you what, its too dangerous to coast this one out. We cannot coast this one out. Hakeem jeffries knows if we coast this out, we loose the majority, spending goes up next fall. He knows the border will stay open and he knows this is going to demotivate our voters, why try. We will fight the uni party and well have the vote last week and look forward to it and i have one last challenge. Challenge members of my own conference to think whether they want to join the uni party next week. We have a Leadership Team, a team of leaders from conference chair, to whip, to majority leader. Why do we have a team . We have a team so that when one of them goes off the rails, the other can get the others of them can meet with them and say, you are no longer suited for this job. So i challenge the whip, the majority leader, the conference chair, the policy chair, everybody in our conference to sit down with mike johnson and have that talk and tell him, its not worth it, mike. Its not worth it to share power with Hakeem Jeffries just for the
