Pete welcome to the final hour of fox friends on sunday, october 1st. Year of our lord, 2023. And weve got a whole festival on fox square and thats Pumpkin Chili. Rachel i cant wait to try that. It looks amazeing. Pete have you had Pumpkin Chili. Rachel i have. Joey ive had stuff with sweet potatoes, i bet its similar. Pete it is fall. Its on. Summer is over, rachel. Rachel its officially over. The fox square setting, the set design is just so incredible. As you said, pete, one of the best weve seen its beautiful. Joey as long as its Pumpkin Chili and not Pumpkin Spice chili, i might have to you draw the line. Rachel you just had a Pumpkin Spice dairy queen. Joey President Biden signed the Stop Gap Bill into law last night, just hours before a midnight deadline would have triggered a Government Shutdown. Rachel its just a temporary fix, funding the government through november 17 and leaving congress with 45 days to pass a full spending bill. Pete Senator Mark Markwayne Mun was the liaison between the house and the senate. He joins us now. Thank you for being here p. It turns out what was happening between the house and senate became very important there at the last minute. Democrats trying to stall, well get to what happened while that was happening in the house as well but break down the house Senate Dynamic and how it played out yesterday. Unfortunately, the house and senate really they dont understand each others rules. I had the privilege of serving in both houses. What was going on, was the democrats in the house was trying to stall to allow Procedure Motions to begin the senate. One Procedure Motions begin on the schumer bill it cant stop they had have to continue through which would have led us to a shutdown. The democrats knew you that. That they tried to vote slowly. We were trying to communicate with the white house, tell them to relieve the democrats and allow them to vote on the clean cr. The white house held up what the democrats were voting on on on friday. We said you would go to a shutdown if you do this. If the schumer bill gets passed, theres zero chance the white house will get it. This is what has to happen. While the negotiationses were going back and forth, senator john thune and Speaker Mccarthy allowed me to go back and forth and communicate with both people to give them time to work it out which actually happened and why none of us are happy with the clean cr because we like to see things change, at least we didnt shut down. Joey on this whole process, americans are Hearing Terms like cr and stop gap appropriations and its a hard to give an education in two minutes about this but the house is going to pass theyre in the process of passing 12 bills, these 12 bills fund a portion of the government. Most of it is not sunset anyway. So each of these 12 bills will come through the house and make it to the senate. Will any of these bills in the way theyve been written by the republicans in the house have a chance in the senate or is there a chance that its going to get rewritten by democrats. They have a chance. But what will happen is we both pass our 12 appropriation bills. To break it down, cr is a continuing resolution, meaning we continue to the fund and a operate government the way it is. None of us here talking right now believes that government is perfect and we shouldnt make changes. We need to make the changes. The only way we make changes is through the 12 apro bill 12 appn bills. 75 of the government is called mandatory spending on automatic pilot. Were never going to balance the budget off the Discretionary Spending which is what were doing with the 12 appropriation bills. The bills in thousand and senate are exactly the same with just different eye balls looking at them. When theyre different, what we do by constitution, we go to conference and the house will assign their conferees and the senate will likely take their whole committee and go to conference and we work out our differences and have a unified bill that comes to the floor which is what were doing with the nda, National Defense authorization act. Ill try to break the acronyms down if i use too many of them. Rachel senator, you make it clear, they were in this conscongaline, slow walking thee trying to make the government shut down because they thought it would be advantageous for democrats. One of the Squad Members on the house side, decided his name is Jamaal Bowman, hes from the bronx in New York City, a loud and boisterous member of congress who has never been shy before to speak his mind. Heres what he has done. He was caught on tape. He pulled a fire a alarm which is now claiming he thought was a door and we know of its a lie. Could you explain two things. One, again, why he was doing this. And what kind of investigation is going to go into this . Because members of Congress Need to the investigate and get to the bottom of why what he did, why he did it, if he was coordinating with other people because he interfered as you will explain with an official proceeding which many people are in jail for right now. Listen, if you believe what bowman is saying, youre just going to the blinding light of what hes saying. By the picture, theres a sign there that says door closed, alarm will sound. Its very clear. Its red even. Beside that alarm, it says fire alarm, very clear and theres usually a ribbon across the door that he had to cross to get to the point so theres no question that he knew exactly what he was doing and theres no question that he was trying to slow down the process because thats what they were trying to do. And if you remember too, they had went to conference. Then they came out, did the conga line and you had what a Hakimjeffries Go in and take whe call a magic minute. As he was talking, you look behind him, as soon as we got the deal struck between the house, senate and white house, as soon as that happened the white house released the democrats to vote and all their faces went blank. We had bowman in the meantime trying to stall the whole process, my lord, the guys a principal. Knows better. I would like to go back to check to see if hes done it at a school that hes a principal of to get out of work for a day or two. Rachel its against the law. What are republicans going to do. Theyve thrown the book at january 6 protesters for the offense of interfering with an official proceeding. That is exactly what this congressman was doing. So what are republicans going to do . Speaker mccarthy made it very clear that hes going to hold him accountable for this. And just imagine this a republican, you know the democrats wo would be going all out, every news outlet in the country would cover this. Speaker mccarthy came out very strong immediately and said we will hold him accountable, well investigate and hold him accountable. The video im sure tells the whole story. It will be interesting if he pulled the fire alarm and went through the door or if he pulled the fire alarm and walk away, it looks like hes pulling it with the arm a closest to the door and angling away from it so looks like hell be walking the opposite direction so the story of going through the door is such a lie. Pete absolutely. I want to be clear about this. Ultimately, democrats believed it would have been politically expedient for them shut the government down and point at republicans. Yes. Pete thats the ultimate outcome they were aiming for. 100 . We told them very clear that if the schumer bill passes the house p isnt going to pick it up and its going to lead to a shutdown. Why would you argue against this clean cr. We were having the argument with the white house until late, late, late friday night, going back and forth, letting them know theres no chance for the schumer bill to pass. If youll allow the clean cr, we made the point what is your argument about a clean cr, giving us 45 more days to work out the differences in if the bill. And they were just 100 wanted to blame it on House Republicans because joe bidens numbers are in the tank and they think it would be better for them much like it was for obama in you 2013 when we had the Government Shutdown. Rachel this is Jamaal Bowman talking about President Trump and the law. Listen or im sorry, its a tweet he wrote. He said no one in this country is above the law, including President Trump. So what does the law say about pulling an alarm and interrupting an official proceeding and trying to affect the outcome of this vote. Its a federal crime. Its absolutely a fe federal cr. Those words hope a any he belies hopefully he believes and hel confess to this instead of continuing to make up lies. You see this from far left democrats who act completely childless when it comes to something they believe is wrong and they accuse the republicans of doing exactly what they do. Rachel yeah. Pete senator, youre in the senate now but you were in the house as mentioned. On another network, representative matt gaetz just said he will move a motion to vacate Speaker Mccarthy. Your reaction to that . Matt gaetz is not a principal guy, not a policy guy, hes about self promotion, its all about matt gaetz. Hes accusing speaker mccar this of working with the democrats which the irony of this, the only way he can possibly remove Speaker Mccarthy is that he has to work with the democrats. Speaker mccarthy will have 200 votes all day long and probably more from the republicans. So that means the most hes going to get is 20. So hes going to have to work with 198 democrats to remove the House Republican speaker. Matt gaetz is all about himself. Remember, none of the networks would give him the time of day after he was you accused of sleesleeping with the underage. Now hes found fame because he opposes Speaker Mccarthy and hes going to ride this horse as long as he can. Joey direct and thank you for that. Pete thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Rachel thank you. I hope you gibb us an update on what happens to Jamaal Bowman. All right. Thank you, senator. Turning now tour headlines. Starting with a fox news alert.

Joey i know theres a generation that identifies with her songs. I think its because shes a well curated celebrity.
