Speaker . We are. This is really important that we get this right. That we get back to work. Im not exaggerating. It probably would have devolved into a little physical altercation. Neil theyre still fighting mad. Its not over yet. House majority leaders, Steve Scalise and jim jordan throw their hats in to the ring to replace Kevin Mccarthy. Republican congressman Matt Rosendale, one of the eight that voted him out, still says he has no regrets and neither does nancy mace. Damn right shes fundraising off of this and proud to continue to do this. A busy your world is now. Welcome. Im neil cavuto. Yesterday the storm and now the followthrough because it is far from over. They now try to move to find a successor to Kevin Mccarthy who has made it official, he doesnt want his old job back. Aishah hasnie in the capitol in the thick of it. Good afternoon to you. The house just adjourned and sent everybody home until at least friday. Sort of an effort to cool everybody down. People are so dang angry here on capitol hill. Anyone that is still Walking Around incredibly frustrated with what just happened yesterday. We do know at this point that theres a couple of names being floated for the next speaker. Scalise is in, jordan is in. Kevin hern, who is a chair of the largest republican Largest Group of republicans in this conference, he could be next. Were just awaiting an official announcement from his office. We do not expect a speaker vote until at least next wednesday at the earliest. All know congressman graves said the party is so divided and so angry that this could take awhile to figure out. Look, theres scenarios that could go on for weeks. The first step is letting people go home, decompress a little bit. The second step is letting us come back together and i think before we have a single discussion about speaker, weve got to discuss the functionality of the possession. Now, theres a lot of demands being thrown around before people say that theyre going to vote for somebody. Some groups are demanding that the Conference Change that one person threshold for the motion to vacate the speaker before they say that they support anybody. Mean meanwhile, legislation as a standstill. Oversight work like Issuing Subpoenas in the biden impeachment inquiry, that is frozen, neil. Some republicans are talking about expelling matt gaetz if hes found guilty. Nancy mace, theres talk that she might be removed from a centrist republican caucus, although she told you that that is a big rumor. Democrats are also facing the gops furry for siding with gaetz. Nancy pelosi and democratic leader steny hoyer were kicked it of their capitol hideaway offerses. A privilege afforded to them under former speaker Kevin Mccarthy. Bottom line, this is unchartered territory. You hear that from lawmakers all day. They dont know what happens next. Neil . Thanks, aishah. Youll hear from nancy mace later this hour. A lot of fastmoving pieces. Lets go to Matt Rosendale of montana. He was one of the eight republicans that voted Kevin Mccarthy off the island. Goo to have you. Good to be back. Neil you gotten blow back senator cotton from arkansas says you wont come within a country mile of the senate if you are looking to become montanas next senator. Thats up with of the nicer comments youre getting from many. What do you think of that . I can tell where you im getting nice comments from, montana. An overwhelming majority that say they support my decision to vote against Kevin Mccarthy and to have him removed, but they really appreciate the fact that i showed the courage necessary at this particular time in our country. You and i have talked many times about this National Debt. 33 trillion. There was a sequence of events that has lined up the last ninth months that has load us to this points. Its not just one situation. We started off working together very well. After that speakers race. We passed some great legislation because a small group of very conservative members pulled the conference over to the right. We passed the Domestic Energy production legislation. Hr 1. We passed what im told is the most conservative and comprehensive immigration and Border Security bill that had ever been passed, hr 2. We passed the ndaa, this congress, neil. With all republican votes. It was the most again, conservative that they had ever passed and removed funding for transgender surgeries and abortions out of the department of defense. Thats the kinds of work we were doing. Where we failed is on the big spending bills, neil. You know we cannot continue down this path to financial ruin. And Kevin Mccarthy sold out republicans when it came to those big bills. On the debt ceiling bill, he went to the democrats to buy votes. It was 169 and only 145 republicans that supported that measure. After republicans worked together. Neil as you know, he did get more than 200 of your colleagues in your party and their support. He didnt get yours and seven others. That is the one thing that stuck in the crawl of Kevin Mccarthy and the speaker. Heres kevin. Theyre not conservatives. They dont get to say theyre conservatives. Neil youre not a conservative. What do you think about that . The people across the state of montana would beg to differ. Theres a lot of people that will be saying things the next week. As representative graves said, tensions are high, tempers are hot. I dont let any of that bother me. I go on the next day, feelings will be mended and we will be able to get our work done. The fact is neil you think you can . No matter who wins, no matter where you stand in this race, whether its for Steve Scalise or jordan, other names are popping up it seems by the hour, but that no matter who wins, its essentially going to be the same teal. Have a five or six vote majority to work with. Thats not much to work with no matter who gets it. Youre spot on. You know what else theyre going to have, neil . Well have somebody that is trustworthy. Neil who would that be . Who fills that definition for you . Im glad were going to have a Forum On Tuesday and everybody that is interesting running for speaker is going to come before the conference and say theyre interested. I find it very interesting that now that the king has been removed that my gosh, we had five people before midnight last nights. Neil Steve Scalise and jim jordan are the more prominent names. I dont know if they cancel each other out. Im wondering what you think of either of them. I think theres going to be a slate of very qualified talented individuals that will always come before the conference on tuesday. Neil thats not what i asked. Im sorry, sir. What do you think of them . I think very highly of every member of congress that i serve with. Neil thats a very astute answer. You know that . Let me step back about the idea that one of the eight wants one of the eight. Thats the argument. You guys want one of your serves in that position. Is that true . I dont think so. I really dont. I think the eight people that voted to remove Kevin Mccarthy did that out of sense of duty to our country. We see the National Debt careening towards financial ruin at 33 trillion. We see that Kevin Mccarthy utilized more democrat votes than he did republican votes to pass the major pieces of financial legislation. We just cant continue on this path. Bill honest, i talked to people that have been here decades, neil. Im sorry. I wont be lectured to by people that have been here for several decades about how we should be handling these issues when they have led us to a 33 trillion debt. Neil what was the breaking point, congressman. Ive talked to you a number of times. Apparently you were not keen on the speaker at the time Kevin Mccarthy became the speaker, continuing with plans for what amounted to a sixweek vacation in the middle of this. That you and your colleagues were not too pleased with that. What was the catalyst . I think the sequence of events, neil. The Debt Ceiling Package where we had passed it and instead of forcing the senate to send us something as a counter offer, he negotiated a separate deal with the president. The next step was not fulfilling his obligation and allowing the Appropriations Committee to started bringing the bills forward on to the floor so that we could fulfill our obligation as per the budget act of 1974 and deliver all 12 Appropriation Bills by june 30th. The next act was to force us in to that continuing resolution. That was engineered. That was engineered by Kevin Mccarthy. He was able to sspending bill neil might very well be the case. I understand that. Youve been very consistent on this to be fair to you. I do wonder how you feel that you and your seven colleagues that voted against Kevin Mccarthy joined every single democrat in the house . Every single one . How do you feel about that . I feel redeemed now that immediately thereafter that we had several of the members that were standing up saying they were interested in running for speaker because they were for fear of retribution, were not able to do that in january. I would have loved for this to have taken place back then. It was out of fear of retribution that they would do so. Now were going to have a fair and open process to elect the next speaker. Neil every democrat voted with you guys on that. Not a one that bolted from their ranks. I find it very interesting that he passed a continuing resolution saturday with 209 democrats. Neil so where december this go nobody wants to talk about that. Neil i understand. Next week it will come down to a vote. Why so long . Why wait that long . That i dont like. Now me, i would like to stay here right now in washington and get back to work on those Appropriation Bills. Of the eight remaining Appropriation Bills, that will consume 400 billion of the 6. 9 trillion that the federal government will spend. So its a small percentage of the actual spending. We should get those knocked out within a twoweek period very easily. That is where our attention needs to be. At the same time, lets go ahead and get our next speaker elected. Neil let me ask you about that if youre setting your sights on the senate and being montanas next senator. I didnt say that. Thats your words. Neil ret me ask you, are you interested in running for the senate in montana . Im considering it. Neil youre more than considering it. Youve moved along way here. Im considering it. We need too make sure that we put the strongest republican forward. Ive had a lot of support from people across the state. Im discussing it with my family. Its a big decision. Neil what raised eyebrows on that point, congressman, you said i would rather a smaller republican majorities or gains and that would keep us essentially on a more conservative mission. I didnt want to screw that interpretation up. Did i interpret it right . The proof is in the pudding. I said when we were looking at a 270 or a 280 House Majority that we would have Business As Usual and Kevin Mccarthy would have just been pushing us towards that typical spending that we have seen over the last several decades. I knew that if we had a small conservative group that we would be able to move the agenda to the right. The proof is there. H. R. 1 and hr 2. The ndaa. All of these things could not have been achieved if we had 260 or 270 republicans that were following Kevin Mccarthys lead. Neil congressman, thanks. Having been consistent on that. This is not some new Point Of View on your part. Thanks, matt. Thank you. Neil much has been made of the key opponents kicking Kevin Mccarthy out trying to fund raise off of that. That was a point that Governor Desantis of florida raised just yesterday. When i see the republican congressman pointing out that theres a lot of fundraising going on around that, that makes me uncomfortable. I think when youre doing things, you need to be doing it because its the right thing to do. Shouldnt be done with an Eye Offen Rating fundraising. Neil nancy mace says shes fundraising it and proud of it and plans to do more of it. Well be talking to her. Meantime, take a quick peek at the corner of wall and broad. Stocks came back because Interest Rating fell down a little. The economy is humming and thats a part of it but theres also concern that what is going on in washington has people just anxious.

Neil all right. No speaker, and as yet no firm budget besides what happens maybe in 40 days or so when they try to avoid a government shutdown. The message is clear from republicans, some call renegades who brought down the Speaker Of The House. There could be no funding for ukraine. That sends dangerous signals that those that dont wish us well. That comes from Major General pitard. Very good to have you with us. Thanks, neil. Howdy from texass george h. W. Bush campus. Neil its a beautiful place. I wonder what george h. W. Bush would think about this congress and some of its members that are not keen on funding ukraine without the Pros And Cons of that. There does seem to be a sent meant, bring that money back here. Focus on spending that money here. Ive talked to a couple of these no votes for Kevin Mccarthy, general, that say pretty much to a man or woman that if that is in future budget agreements, that they work out to avoid a shut down, they wont be a part of that. What do you think . I think as america, as the worlds super power, has a global responsibility. Americas allies as well as adversaries are watching the turmoil that is watching whats going on in our congress. Any time that a super power has turmoil, it which causes inconsistencies, that can cause reverberations around the globe. Neil what is your biggest fear . That russia reads in to that were tiring of the war . Lets use ukraine as an example. China gets the same vibes, that its happening. Sends a message to russia and russias leader, putin, who will take this as american losings commitment to supporting ukraine possibly, which could also cause him to be much more embolden not only with ukraine but with other areas like the Baltic States like astonia, lithuania, who are right next to russia. If russia becomes more embolden, well see a more embolden china with respect to taiwan, the south china sea. We may see more challenges to america during this turmoil period. We must be comfortable. We must be careful of north korea conducting more missile tests, testing to see if america is weak. Neil im wondering, too, general what signal it sends when up to half the president ial candidates in the Republican Party are also at best leery of more aid for ukraine. Others less so, but saying they want to check every penny. How do you feel about that . Well, its a fair comment as far as making sure any of our taxpayers money going to ukraine is spent wisely. Its a war of attrition. At some point, that war must be settled. Ideally in ukraines favor overall. But so i understand that. I also understand that those same president ial candidates have never been to war. If you have been to war, you do not want to see american troops have to go fight unnecessarily. In this case, we have ukraine, which is willing to fight the russians. All they need is our assistance as far as equipment and logistics behind them. So american troops would not be on the ground. So that will save american blood in many ways with Just A Little Bit of american treasure. Neil general, as you know, one of those candidates has served, ron desantis of florida, who also is leery o
