LARRY: CLAUDIA TENNEY, THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
ON SET, JOINING ME DAVID ASMAN
AND SEAN DUFFY CO-HOST OF "THE
BOTTOM LINE" THAT PREMIERS
JANUARY 23.
ON THIS QUICK POINTS, WHY YOU AS
A FORMER CONGRESSMAN, WHY WOULD
MITCH McCONNELL AND RICHARD
SHELBY BETRAY THE HOUSE LIKE
THIS.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMICS
OF THIS BILL.
AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE
POLITICS.
WHAT’S UP HERE.
>> NIECE ARE NOT RONALD REAGAN
REPUBLICANS.
RICHARD SHELBY, A LONG-TIME
CONSERVATIVE IS BAILING ON HIS
CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES BECAUSE
HE WANTS TO BRING PORK BACK TO
HIS STATE BEFORE HE LEAVES THE
SENATE.
I THINK WHAT’S GOING ON HERE,
LARRY.
YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS FIGHTING SO
HARD TO HAVE THIS TRANSFORMATION
OF AMERICA THAT BARACK OBAMA
TALKED ABOUT.
THEY ARE NOT COMMITTED TO
BRINGING US BACK TO THE
PRINCIPLES THAT MADE THIS
COUNTRY GREAT.
LARRY: WE SHOULD PUT UP ON THE
FULL SCREEN TO MY DEAR BELOVED
PRODUCERS, THE MOST VALUABLE
PLAYER IN THE EARMARKS LEAGUE.
WHAT SEAN DUFFY JUST SAID IS
FILLED WITH TRUTH.
THAT SHELBY WHO HAS A
CONSERVATIVE RECORD FOR MANY
YEARS AS BOTH A DEMOCRAT AND
REPUBLICAN HAS GONE HOG WILD
WITH SPECIAL INTEREST EARMARKS.
OF THE TOP 10, 8 OF THE EARMARK
LEADERS ARE REPUBLICANS.
DAVID ASMAN, HOW IS THAT
POSSIBLE.
>> YOU HAD A WONDERFUL INTERVIEW
WITH MANY RAND PAUL. HIS DAD WHO MANAGED TO STAY A
HIS DAD WHO MANAGED TO STAY A
LIB TEAR YEAIAN --STAY A LIBERTA
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THAT.
SHELBY AND ALL THOSE OTHER 8
REPUBLICANS LEADING THE PACK IN
EARMARKS.
IT’S JUST PORK, SPENDING OTHER
PEOPLE’S MONEY FOR YOUR OWN
VANITY PROJECTS.
IF ANYTHING IT SHOULD BE FUNDED
BY THE STATE, NOT FED RAL
TAXPAYERS.
LARRY: WHY DON’T THEY BECOME THE
MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS FOR LOWER
TAX RATES OR FEWER REGULATIONS.
WHY DOESN’T THE SENATE PICK UP
ON HR1 IN THE HOUSE TO TURN THE
OIL AND GAS SPIGOTS BACK ON.
THERE IS A GROUP OF REPUBLICAN
SENATORS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE
FOREVER AND EVER WHO ARE BIG
SPENDSERS AND INDISTINGUISHABLE
FROM DEMOCRATS.
>> CONSERVATIVES HAVE GIVEN
THEIR MONEY, TIME AND ENERGY TO
ELECT THESE PEOPLE, AND THEY
EXPECT MORE FROM THEM.
WE ALL LIVED HOW BUDGETS WORK.
BUT FOR PEOPLE AT HOME, AN
OMNIBUS BILL IS GOING TOY GIVE
US SPENDING FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
A CR CAN GIVE US SPENDING UNTIL
THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY.
AND SAY NOW LET’S LET
REPUBLICANS IN THE CONGRESS COME
IN AND HAVE A MASSIVE HAND
PRINT.
DAVID: REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO VOTE ON THE PAY-GO.
LARRY: THEY ALWAYS WAIST.
BUT THEY SHOULD BE.
THE PAY-GO RULES ARE STILL IN
EFFECT, ALL THE WAY BACK TO
STWEN.
BACK -- BACK
TOBACKTO 2010.
ALL YOU NEED IS 41 TO SAY NO.
THEN YOU HAVE AN ACROSS THE
BOARD CUT WHICH WOULD GIVE SOME
SEMBLANCE OF SPENDING RESTRAINT.
RAND PAUL IS RIGHT.
REPUBLICANS HAVE EMASCULATED
THEMSELVES.
ALL THIS SPENDING WATERED DOWN
THEIR MESSAGE ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
>> THEY HAVE NO CREDIBILITY.
LARRY: THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
REPORTER SAID SHE GOT DETAILS
FROM McCONNELL.
SHE SAID HE SAID LOOK LIKE GOOD
APPROPRIATORS WE ARE ALSO BOND
OVER CONVICTION THAT OUR TRUE
OPPONENT WAS NEVER EACH OTHER,
IT’S THE HOUSE.
HE’S ADMITTING YOU WERE THE
ENEMY.
HE CAME OUT AND SAID IT.
THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
REPORTED IT.
LARRY: I HAVE ANOTHER POINT.
WE ARE GOING TO PUT UP POLLS ON
THE FULL SCREEN.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN VOTERS
ARE SAYING THEY WANT NEW BLOOD
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
MOST AMERICANS OPPOSE A
TRUMP-BIDEN REMATCH.
I LOVE TRUMP AND PROUDLY SERVED
HIM FOR THREE YEARS.
DON’T NECESSARILY LOVE OF THE
THINGS HE HAS BEEN DOING AND
SAYING RECENTLY.
IN QUITE I’M QUITE DISTURBED
ABOUT IT.
WHAT I HEAR IS PEOPLE WANT TRUMP
POLICIES BUT DO NOT NECESSARILY
WANT HIM.
WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?
SEAN: I WOULD AGREE THAT’S WHAT
THE POLLS SAY.
BUT THAT’S WHAT ELECTIONS ARE
FOR.
WHEN YOU SEE THEM ON THE STAGE
AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEE WHO
THEY WANT.
POLLS CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE
WAY IT TURNS OUT IN THE
ELECTION.
TRUMP BROUGHT THEM THE FIGHT AND
TOOK IT TO THE MEDIA AND
DEMOCRATS.
BROUGHT THE POLICY TO THE
FOREPROPERTY THAT WERE NEVER
REPUBLICAN POLICIES.
JOE BIDEN HAS A HARD TIME
COMMUNITY KAIGHT.
-- A HARD
TIME COMMUNICATING.
HE SHUFFLES AROUND.
DAVID: WHAT’S LACKING IS
LEADERSHIP.
YOU NEED A LEADER.
YOU MAY HATEDONE DONALD TRUMP’S
ATTITUDE.
BUT HE WAS A LEADER.
WITHOUT LEADERSHIP YOU WILL NOT
HAVE A RESOLUTION WITH WHAT’S
HAPPENING IN THE HOUSE.
LARRY: HE FOUGHT THE
ESTABLISHMENT.
DAVID: IT WAS THE SWAMP WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT.
LARRY: MAYBE RON DESANTIS IS A
GOOD SWAMP FIGHTER.
I DON’T KNOW.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DONALD TRUMP
WEIGH IN ON THIS ISSUE.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HIM COME
OUT AS ONLY HE CAN.
SEAN: HE WOULD RALLY THE HOME
BASE OF THE SENATORS AND THEY
MIGHT GET SO MUCH PUSHBACK.
IF LARRY KUDLOW CAN’T GET DOWN
THOSE NUMBERS MAYBE DONALD TRUMP
CAN DO IT.
LARRY: I’M GOING TO GET ON THE
HORN AND SPEAK TO HIM.
HE CAN DO IT.
DAVID ASMAN, THANK YOU.
SEAN DUFFY.
BOTTOM LINE.
JANUARY 23 RIGHT HERE ON FOX
BUSINESS.
YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST.
WITH DAY BEGAN.
AND WE’LL ALL BE TOGETHER ONCE
