HOUSE CHAPLAIN PATRICK CONROY IS BACK ON THE JOB, THAT IS AFTER
BEING TEMPORARILY RELIEVED OF HIS POSITION BY SPEAKER PAUL
RYAN BECAUSE OF HIS MORAL OBJECTION TO A TAX BILL THAT WAS
GOING TO BE HARSH ON THOSE MOST VULNERABLE IN SOCIETY.
HE WAS IN THE HOUSE TO BE RELIGIOUS AND GAUDY HAD A
PROBLEM WITH THAT.
PAUL RYAN WASN'T GOING TO STAND FOR IT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE FOUGHT BACK AGAINST THAT.
BUT
THEY FOUGHT BACK WITH WORDS AND NOW THEY ARE TRANSITIONING
OVER TO FISTICUFFS.
WE HAVE FOOTAGE FROM THE HOUSE FLOOR AND THEY ALMOST COME TO
BLOWS OVER THE SKY PATRICK CONROY.
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THERE IS CROWLEY AND MACARTHUR GETTING
INTO AN ARGUMENT.
MACARTHUR, AN EPISCOPALIAN, WALKED OVER AND ACCUSED CROWLEY
OF CRITICIZING A NON- POLITICAL ISSUE.
ONCE YOU FIRE YOU GUY YOU THINK PAUL RYAN FIRED HIM?
SO HE SAYS PAULINE IS GOING TO POLITICIZE THIS WHOLE THING.
JOE CROWLEY WHO WAS A DEMOCRAT/ CANDIDATE VERSUS THE REPUBLICAN
MACARTHUR/EPISCOPALIAN ñ ONCE IT GOES DOWN IT TURNS INTO A FIGHT
BECAUSE CROWLEY WAS TRYING TO PUT AN INVESTIGATION IN.
CANNOT PROPOSE SOMETHING?
I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT MAYBE
JUST GET RID OF THE CHAPLAIN.
HE PRAYS HOPING THAT THESE GUYS HAVE THE DISCERNMENT.
WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE NEXT VIDEO.
AS LEGISLATION ON TAXES CONTINUES TO BE DEBATED THIS
WEEKEND, MAY ALL MEMBERS BE MINDFUL THAT THE INSTITUTIONS
AND STRUCTURES OF OUR GREAT NATION GUARANTEE THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE ALLOWED SOME TO ACHIEVE GREAT
SUCCESS WHILE OTHERS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE.
MAY THEIR EFFORTS THESE DAYS GUARANTEE THAT THERE ARE NO
WINNERS AND LOSERS UNDER NEW TAX LAWS, BUT BENEFITS BALANCED
AND SHARED BY ALL AMERICANS.
HOW COULD YOU?
YOU COULD NOT SEE IT BECAUSE THEY WERE CROPPED IN
REALLY CLOSE.
FROM THE BACK, PAUL RYAN HAD AN AX AND HE WAS RUNNING AT
CONROY AND THEY TACKLED HIM THANKFULLY, SO INSTEAD THEY
JUST FIRED HIM WHICH I THOUGHT WAS BETTER.
HERE'S THE THING, CONROY IS ONE OF THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
I WOULD SAY THAT THAT WAS KIND OF A LIGHT INSPIRATION FROM GOD.
LET'S NOT HAVE OVER WINNERS AND LOSERS.
I WOULD'VE BEEN THROWING BOMBS, NOT LITERALLY, RHETORICAL
RELIGIOUS BOMBS.
THERE ARE THINGS I CAN'T SAY UNFORTUNATELY, BUT THE WAY
THAT THEY TREAT THE POOREST AMERICANS ON A DAILY BASIS
IN THAT CHAMBER DESERVES HARSHER LANGUAGE THAN WHAT
WE SAW FROM CONROY BUT HE GAVE A LITTLE BIT AND FOR THAT HE
LOST HIS POSITION AND HE HAS NOW BEEN BROUGHT BACK IN, AND FOR
THAT THOSE TWO REPRESENTATIVES ALMOST COME TO BLOWS, SO
MUCH SO THAT SOMEONE HAS TO STEP IN.
IT'S FINE IF THEY WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS AND IF THAT'S
WAS GOING TO GET THEM TO DO THAT.
I WOULD SAY THERE ARE ONLY 500
ISSUES THAT THEY SHOULD BE IN EACH OTHER'S FACES FOR.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES
IN ALL THE REPUBLICANS' FACES ASKING WHY WE AS A NATION
HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT LEAD IN OUR WATER.
ANYONE HERE CAN BRING UP 100
DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT THEY SHOULD BE SHOUTING OVER.
I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE JAPANESE PARLIAMENT.
I WANT PEOPLE BEING THROWN OUT OF THEIR SEATS AND STUFF.
THEY ARE GETTING INTO A FIGHT OVER A GUY THAT THEY BOTH
SEEMINGLY LIKE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING.
NOT TO MENTION THAT HE GOT FIRED BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE
BELIEVE THAT THE MAN WHO SPEAKS FOR THE GOOD LORD SAYS LET'S
BE FAIR AND THIS IS TOO MUCH.
AGAIN, I AM ALL ABOUT JOB CREATION, HE PROBABLY GETS
PAID WELL TO GIVE THE MORNING PRAYER BEFORE EACH SESSION
OF CONGRESS.
THAT IS FINE BUT DO WE REALLY NEED HIM?
IT'S JUST A THING.
APPARENTLY ONCE HE SAYS SOMETHING YOU DON'T AGREE
WITH YOU GET RID OF HIM SO YOU MUST NOT THINK HE IS USEFUL
IN THE FIRST PLACE, RIGHT?
UNLESS HE AGREES WITH YOU, SO WHY IS HE THERE?
I WAS AN ATHLETE IN COLLEGE AND WE HAD, BEFORE MEETS, GAMES
THEY HAVE THE CHAPLAIN COME AND SPEAK TO YOU AND PRAY OVER
YOU AND I HAD NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE.
I THINK THEY DO IN SOME HIGH SCHOOLS, PROBABLY CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS AND I SAT THERE AND SAID WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT ARE
WE DOING, THIS IS WEIRD.
I'M NOT A HEATHEN LIKE YOU ARE, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.
TECHNICALLY I AM.
BUT I WAS LIKE, WE DOING IT HERE?
IT JUST SEEMED OUT OF PLACE TO ME THAT'S ALL, BECAUSE WE
ARE ABOUT TO RUN SOME HURDLES AND THAT IS NOT REALLY
GOING TO BE WHAT IS GOING TO DETERMINE BECAUSE GOD
DOESN'T CARE WHETHER OR NOT I WIN THIS RACE.
CAN I JUST POINT OUT THAT IT IS AMAZING THAT WITH THE
REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE FOR SOMETIME NOW THAT WE
DON'T HAVE A PROSPERITY GOSPEL GUY IN THERE?
WE STILL
HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS KIND OF PRO- POOR, I THINK THAT IS WEIRD,
IT'S NOT CREFLO DOLLAR OR SOMETHING THAT IS GIVING THE
PRAYER.
WE KNOW WHY.
THERE ARE OTHER REASONS WHY.
I AM SORRY.
IT LITERALLY SLIPPED OUT.
THIS DOESN'T SEEM VERY SEPARATE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUR WHOLE THING IN THE GOVERNMENT.
IT'S OUR THING, NOT THEIR THING.
