SCRUTINY BUT WE WILL NOT FORGET
AND THAT IS THE ANGLE
>> JOINING ME NOW DELIGHTED HE’S
WITH US HOUSE MINORITY LEADER
KEVIN McCARTHY, GREAT TO SEE YOU
TONIGHT.
NOW, THE ISSUE WITH WASHINGTON
IN A LAME DUCK SESSION IS WHAT
IN YOUR ESTIMATION.
>> THEY TRY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT
YOU SAID.
WHEN I LISTENED TO THIS THIS
SOUNDED LIKE WHAT I WAS SAYING
TO THE PRESIDENT DURING MY
MEETING LAST WEEK.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT ACTUALLY
BROUGHT UP, SHE SAYS, WHAT CAN
WE DO ABOUT THE DREAMERS?
I SAID NOTHING.
YOU’VE GOT TO SECURE
THEEREDEREDER.
I INVITED THE PRESIDENT DOWN TO
GO TO THE BORDER WITH ME AND HE
MADE THE MISTAKE AND ASK ME WHAT
WOULD I DO.
I ROLLED THROUGH EVERYTHING
BECAUSE I WAS JUST THERE IN EL
PASO.
YOU BRING THAT NUMBER UP OF
70,000 IN ONE OVERPASS IN SEVEN
WEEKS, 70,000 PEOPLE HAVE COME
ACROSS.
ONE OVERPASS.
WE DON’T CONTROL OUR BORDER
ANYMORE.
THE CARTELS DO.
YOU CAN SEE TRACERS COMING TO
OUR NATIONAL GUARD.
YOU CAN SEE A LADY WHO DIDN’T
PAY --
>> Laura:.
>> Laura: THEY DON’T CARE
THOUGH.
>> THEY DON’T.
>> Laura: THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT
THIS.
>> NO, BUT THEY’RE DESTROYING
OUR NATION.
BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING DOWN
THERE, YOU ALREADY HAVE THREE
MILLION ACROSS.
IF THEY LIFT TITLE 42, JUST IN
THE NEXT TWO YEARS WHILE HE’S IN
OFFICE, 13 MILLION MORE PEOPLE
THEY PROJECT WILL COME ACROSS.
>> Laura: YOU WON’T BE SPEAKER
LONG IF THAT HAPPENS.
>> NO I WON’T ALLOW IT.
I TOLD THE PRESIDENT I WAS VERY
CLEAR FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
IF HE WANTS THE NDAA I TOLD HIM
YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE VACCINE
MANDATE ON OUR MILITARY MEN AND
WOMEN.
WHY?
THEY’RE NOT MEETING THE
RECRUITMENT GOALS BECAUSE OF
THIS PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.
>> Laura: JUDGE SHOULD THEY BE
VOTING ON THIS?
WHY SHOULDN’T THEY DO SHORT-TERM
SPENDING.
>> THAT ACE DIFFERENT.
>> Laura: THE NDAA IS THE EXTRA
MONEY THEY WANT.
>> I WANT THE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE
ON THIS AND I WANT THIS TO GO IN
LAW.
THIS IS WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN
WHEN WE’RE IN POWER.
SINGLE SUBJECT.
PEOPLE WON’T BE ABLE TO THROW IN
POT FUNDING AND OTHERS.
RIGHT NOW THAT’S NOT IN WE’RE
TRYING TO HOLD IT OUT.
>> Laura: ARE YOU TALKING TO
MITCH McCONNELL ABOUT THIS?
HE’S SO SMART IN SO MANY WAYS
DID ALL THE GREAT JUDGES BUT
THIS OP NAH BUS THING TAKES AWAY
YOUR POWER FOR TEN MONTHS.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Laura: YOU WILL HAVE NO
EFFECT ON THESE CRITICAL ISSUES,
ZERO.
>> WE’RE 28 DAYS FROM
REPUBLICANS HAVING THE GAVEL, WE
WOULD BE STRONGER IN ANY
NEGOTIATION.
ANY REPUBLICAN TRYING TO WORK
WITH THEM IS WRONG.
>> Laura: DOES THAT INCLUDE
McCONNELL.
>> YES.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON
ANYTHING IF WE HAVE THE GAVEL
INSIDE CONGRESS?
>> Laura: YOU JUST WON THE
HOUSE.
>> YES.
WAIT UNTIL WE’RE IN CHARGE.
I TOLD THE PRESIDENT, IF WE
DON’T HAVE A LIFTING IN THE
VACCINE, I’LL DO IT IN JANUARY.
I TOLD THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,
HE HAD HIM CALL ME JUST SUNDAY
NIGHT.
>> Laura: BUT DO THEY KIND OF
KNOW PEOPLE ARE MOVING AWAY FROM
THE ASK VACCINE MANDATES?
IS THAT KIND OF A -- I KNOW THEY
SAID -- COULD THIS ALL BE
POSTURING AND WE’RE JUST PLAYING
THEATER HERE?
>> NO, THEY’RE NOT ANT WE WANT
TO PUT IT IN LAW.
IF WE WANT IT HERE WE COULD PUT
IT EVERYWHERE ELSE.
>> Laura: SPEAKING OF WHAT THAT
MEETING WITH BIDEN WAS LIKE
HERE’S THE STORY THE PRESIDENT
WAS TELLING.
THEY’RE TELLING ME WHAT THEY
COULD DO AND WHAT THEY WERE
GOING TO DO AND I SAID YEAH
BIDEN RECALLED DEMONSTRATING HE
RESPONDED TO McCARTHY BY LIFTING
HIS PEN AND SHOWING IT TO THE
ROOM.
I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
A PEN A VETO HE SAID.
WHAT’S YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY.
>> HE LIFTED UP HIS PEN BECAUSE
I SAID HE’S PLAYING POLITICS.
AND AFTERWARDS HE CAME TO ME AND
SAID I WASN’T TRYING TO BE
POLITICAL KEVIN I SAID YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU NEED TO COME TO THE BORDER
WITH ME BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE
FENTANYL KILLING OUR CHILDREN OR
THE MILLIONS COMING ACROSS THE
PEOPLE BEING HUMAN TRAFFICKED.
I SAID YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
>> Laura: THEY DO UNDERSTAND.
THEY’RE NOT STUPID.
>> I REQUESTED THEY PUT THE NAVY
SEALS WITH THEERED BOARDER
AGENTS.
THEY HAVE BORDER AGENTS BEING
PROCESS AGENTS INSTEAD OF BEING
ON THE JOB.
>> Laura: THE BIG QUESTION I’VE
BEEN GETTING PINGED ALL DAY IS
THIS RNC LEADERSHIP QUESTION
BECAUSE A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ARE
WORRIED BECAUSE THEY THINK, YOU
KNOW, GLAD THEY WON THE HOUSE
AND I A COUPLE MORE SEATS LOOK
LIKE THEY’RE PICKED UP WE’RE
GOING TO TALK TO JOHN IN A
MINUTE BUT WHO DO YOU THINK
SHOULD TAKE OVER.
I LIKE ’RONA McDANIEL, GREAT
PERSON I LOVE HER, HARMEET
DHILLON IS A YOUNG FEMALE,
CALIFORNIA.
OBVIOUSLY INDIAN AMERICAN.
>> I LIKE HARMEET, SHE DOES A
TREMENDOUS JOB BUT I THINK RON A
DID A TREMENDOUS JOB, TOO.
WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
>> Laura: YOU DON’T THINK YOU
NEED CHANGE.
>> EVERY REPUBLICAN ENTITY LOST
EXCEPT THE HOUSE.
I’VE BEEN FOUR YEARS, WE WON
EVERY TIME.
>> Laura: WHAT ABOUT EARLY
VOTING ON THE SENATE RACES SHE
COULD HAVE HELPED ON THAT.
>> THE ONE THING I SEE
HAPPENING, THE SENATE LOSS, THE
GOVERNOR’S LOSS, THE PRESIDENT’S
LOSS, BUT THE HOUSE HAS WON IN
BOTH CYCLES.
WE PICKED UP IN CALIFORNIA.
WE PICKED UP IN OREGON, WE
PICKED UP IN NEW YORK.
WE WON FIVE SEATS THAT BIDEN WON
BY MORE THAN TEN POINTS.
WE BEAT THE D TRIPLE C CHAIR.
THAT HASN’T IN 42 YEARS.
I THINK THE QUALITY OF THE
CANDIDATE MATTERS.
WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER IN
PENNSYLVANIA WITH A BETTER
GOVERNOR CANDIDATE THERE, IT
COST US.
BUT, LOOK, I SAW THE RESENIORS
SOURCES, I SAW THE ENGAGEMENT IN
THERE AND THE RNC IS A SMALL
GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS OF
COMMITTEE WITHIN AND COMMITTEE
WOMEN.
>> Laura: DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD
BE DECENTRALIZED?
SHE THROUGH THAT OUT LAST WEEK.
WHY BASE IT IN WASHINGTON SEND
IT OUT TO THE HEART LAND.
>> WE HAVE TO DO THAT EVERYONER
EVERYWHERE.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF
WASHINGTON.
WHY IS THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
IN WASHINGTON, WHAT ARE THEY
PRODUCING.
>> Laura: HORRIBLE.
>> GET IT OUT TO THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC LET THEM UNDERSTAND.
>> Laura: WILL WE CONTINUE TO
MAKE PROGRESS A IN CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA HAS TO TURN AT ONE
POINT.
>> WE WON IN CONGRESS IN EVERY
SINGLE CYCLE.
WE WON IN LA.
WE WON THREE SEATS THAT BIDEN
CARRIED BY MORE THAN TEN POINTS.
SO WE PROVED IN THE HOUSE WE CAN
WIN IN EVERY SINGLE PLACE.
THE QUALITY OF THE CANDIDATE
MATTERS.
HAVING THE RESOURCES.
>> Laura: YOUR MESSAGE THOM
TILLIS, McCONNELL, HOLD OFF.
>> 29 DAYS, CAN’T YOU WAIT?
BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN
IS, YOU’LL GET A REPUBLICAN BILL
OUT OF THE HOUSE, YOU’LL BE IN A
STRONGER NEGOTIATION POSITION
AND WE’LL BE CUTTING INSTEAD OF
