>> THANK YOU, BLAKE BURMAN AT
THE WHITE HOUSE THIS MORNING
JOINING US RIGHT NOW TENNESSEE
CONGRESSMAN, CHUCK, GOOD TO
SEE YOU THANKS FOR JOINING US,
YOUR REACTION TO THE PRESIDENT
AGENDA WE WANT TO GET YOUR
THOUGHTS, ON WHAT CAN GET DONE
IF ANYTHING IN THE NEXT SEVEN
WEEKS.
>> GOOD MORNING, MARIA.
YES, OF COURSE, THE
PRESIDENT'S AGENDA IS
OVERWHELMING HE IS DONE
OUTSTANDING JOB TWO YEARS
WHETHER DOMESTIC FRONT
INTERNATIONAL FRONT STAYED SO
BUSY, NOW THAT OFF THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL, HE IS GOING TO
PARIS I THINK GOING TO BE A
ROBUST AGENDA WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO KEEP AMERICA GOING
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, KEEPING
TAXES LOW, REGULATIONS LOW,
AND TO AVOID SOME OF THE
DISTRACTIONS THAT I THINK SOME
DEMOCRATS NOW ARE TRYING TO
LOOK AT, IN TERMS OF
INVESTIGATIONS AMERICAN PEOPLE
WANT US TO GOVERN COUNTRY MOVE
FORWARD THAT IS WHERE I THINK
WE NEED TO GO.
IN REGARDED TO THE NEXT SEVEN
WEEKS, I WILL BE BACK, NEXT
WEEK WORKING HARD, GOING TO BE
INTERESTING, THIS WILL BE A
LAME-DUCK SESSION I THINK WE
CAN ACCOMPLISH SOME THINGS IN
THE HOUSE WE'VE GOT TO ON THE
SPENDING SIDE I REMEMBER THE
HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
WE HAVE GOT TO GET THAT DONE
FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
SO I HOPE WE HAVE A PRODUCTIVE
SEVEN WEEKS.
>> CHUCK, JASON CHAFFETZ.
>> JACE HOUN ARE YOU.
>> GOOD, THIS IS ONE OF THE
HAREVIDENCED WORKING MEMBERS
IN CONGRESS POURS HIS HEART
AND SOUL INTO IT GLAD TO BE ON
HERE WITH YOU, A QUESTION
THOUGH IS -- YOU HAVE TO PASS
SPENDING PACKAGE I BELIEVE BY
FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER IS
THERE ANY CHANCE THERE IS ANY
CUT IN SPENDING?
OR IS CONGRESS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO POUR GASOLINE ON
THIS FIRE SPEND AS MUCH AS IT
HAS?
>> JASON THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION, I APPRECIATE YOUR
GREAT SERVICE CHAIRMAN IN THE
HOUSE IT WAS PLEASURE TO SERVE
WITH YOU.
I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WANT US TO GET THE SPENDING
PACKAGE WRAPPED UP.
AS YOU KNOW, WHEN WE BROKE THE
CONTROLS OF THE BUDGET,
CONTROL BROKE THE SEQUESTER
FOR TWO YEARS, THAT OPENED UP
THE OPPORTUNITY TO FUND
DEFENSE TO GET THAT DONE, AND
TO ADDRESS WHAT WE FELT WERE
OUR NATIONAL DOMESTIC
PRIORITIES DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, FOR
EXAMPLE, I REPRESENT -- OAK
RINL TREMENDOUS FEDERAL ASSETS
NEED TO BE FUNDED AND THE LIKE
THERE ARE A FEW BILLS LEFT WE
HAVE PASSED THIS OBVIOUSLY TO
DECEMBER I DON'T THINK THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO SHUT
DOWN, ONE THING THAT IS GOING
TO BE IMPORTANT, IS FUNDING
FOR THE WALL, I HAVE SUPPORTED
ON HOMELAND SECURITY
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
FUNDING FOR THE WALL THE
PRESIDENT WANTED FUNDING FOR
THE WALL SO THERE IS SIMPLY
SOME ISSUES THAT COME UP
IMPEDE THE PROCESS BY AND
LARGE I THINK WE WILL GET IT
ZMEEN DO YOU THINK THAT
FUNDING IS FUNDING FOR THE
WALL GOING TO BE IN THE
PACKAGE IN DECEMBER.
>> I THINK WE ARE GOING TO TRY
REALLY GOING TO TRY, AGAIN,
THE PROBLEM COULD ALWAYS BE
WHAT IT HAS BEEN BEFORE UNITED
STATES SENATE ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT FRUSTRATED ME AS
YOU KNOW WE WORKED HARD IN THE
HOUSE PROMOTED PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S AGENDA WORKED HARD TO
GET THINGS DONE, PASSED LAST
BILLS, THEY WERE IMPEDED TIME
AND TIME AGAIN IN THE SENATE
BECAUSE ABOUT OF THE NUMBERS
NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF
ANYTHING OUR MAJORITY DID, BUT
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE 60
VOTES, SO AGAIN WE DON'T HAVE
60 VOTES IN THE SENATE I THINK
YOU WILL SEE HOUSE GETTING IT
DONE, WE JUST HOPE SENATE GETS
IT DONE.
>> WAS IT THE ADMINISTRATION
CHANGING THE RULES FOR ASYLUM
SWHEESHGZ AND WHERE THEY CAN
APPLY FOR ASYLUM A U.S. MEXICO
BORDER APPEALS COURT SAID
PRESIDENT CAN'T END DACA
DEFERRED ACTION PROGRAM WHERE
ARE WE IN THIS DO YOU THINK
ANYTHING GETS DONE WITH NEW
CONGRESS IN THE NEW YEAR ON
IMMIGRATION?
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION, OF COURSE,
UNFORTUNATELY, THE NINTH
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS HAS
TRADITIONAL BEEN VERY LIBERAL
VERY FAR LEFT, HAS BEEN
OVERTURNED EVEN IN PRIOR
YEARS, BY THE SUPREME COURT.
BY LESS CONSERVATIVE SUPREME
COURTS SO WHILE THAT IS A
LITTLE BIT OF A SETBACK I
THINK ULTIMATELY HIGH COURT
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT,
WILL REVERSE NINTH CIRCUIT ON
THIS AND OTHER ISSUES I AM NOT
UNDULY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
ON IMMIGRATION I THINK WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT FROM
IT A PRACTICING STANDPOINT
FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, AND,
OF COURSE, THERE ARE ALWAYS
POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS TO
THIS, BUT THAT PROBLEM IS NOT
GOING TO GO AWAY, THE CARAVAN
IS COMING NEEDS TO BE STOPPED
SO EVERYONE, AS AMERICAN, NOW
THAT THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER,
WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO
GOVERNING THAT IS WHERE I
THINK WE ARE.
>> UNANIMOUS NAPS POTENTIALLY
NEXT SPEAKER WHAT SHE SAID
JUST A LAST NIGHT ABOUT
SNIEMGS WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR
BORDERS OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS
TO PROTECT AND DEFEND WE TOOK
AN OATH, WHEN SWORN INTO
OFFICE TO PROTECT AND DEFEND
WE HAVE TO PROTECT, IN A WAY
THAT PROTECTS OUR BORDERS AND
HONEST OUR VALUES, AND ALSO,
RECOGNIZING 11 MILL PM IN THIS
COUNTRY WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IN
TERMS OF LEGALIZATION PERHAPS
A PATH AND I BELIEVE A PATH TO
CITIZENSHIP.
>> I FEEL I AM HAVING A DE
>> I FEEL I AM HAVING A DÉJA
>> I FEEL I AM HAVING A DÉJÀ
VU BECAUSE I HEARD THIS BEFORE
CONGRESSMAN.
>> YES.
WELL, AND IT IS GOING TO BE
INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT NEW
MAJORITY IS GOING TO DO FIRST
OF ALL, I THINK GOING TO HAVE
PROBLEMS INTERNALLY, THEY HAVE
IT BE ELECTED PEOPLE FROM ALL
OVER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
SPECTRUM, SUPER FAR LEFT, I
THINK IF SPEAKER PELOSI IF
SPEAKER WANTS TO BE ABLE TO
EITHER FW ANYTHING
ACCOMPLISHED HAS TO REALIZE TO
WORK WITH ROBUST REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY, GOT TO RAISE HER
THINNER MAJORITY GOING TO HAVE
A REPUBLICAN SENATE DONALD
TRUMP WILL BE STRONG
REPUBLICAN LEADER IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, SO IF SHE SETS THE TONE
FOR WANT TO GO WORK WITH
REPUBLICANS TO, GET THINGS
DONE, THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE
THING, IF SHE GOES OFF, TO
TRADITION LEFT WING CAUSES,
SHE IS GOING TO BE IMPEDED
GOING TO BE BEATEN.
>> WE WILL LEAVE IT THERE ARE
YOU GOING TO VOTE NOR KEVIN
MCCARTHY TO BE MINORITY
LEADER.
>> YES, I AM, I SPOKE WITH
KEVIN EARLIER, WHETHER OR NOT
HE WAS GOING TO BE SPEAKER OR
MAJORITY LEADER AND SO OR
MINORITY LEADER SO I HAVE
WORKED WITH HIM IN THE PAST I
THINK HE HAS DONE A GOOD JOB
WE HAVE LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS
NEXT WEEK, SO THAT IS HOW I'M
GOING TO VOTE THERE ARE A LOT
OF VOTES OUT THERE, BUT I
THINK OUR MINORITY HAS TO GET
