00:00 Do you believe in coming out of that meeting?
00:02 Do you know who you're going to support?
00:03 And does the conference have a clear idea of who?
00:06 -Yes, I will be supporting Jim Jordan tomorrow.
00:10 He answered every question.
00:11 He answered every question honestly and with energy,
00:14 and that is the bare minimum that the American people want.
00:17 It's what the American people need,
00:18 and it's what the American people deserve.
00:21 I'm very excited about this vote tomorrow,
00:23 and I hope that we'll come together
00:24 for the next speaker very, very quickly.
00:28 -Do you think that the conference is united
00:30 behind Chairman Jordan?
00:32 -We'll find out tomorrow,
00:33 so we'll have our conference vote tomorrow,
00:35 and I hope that win, lose, or draw,
00:37 that we all get behind one person
00:39 so we can go to the floor in the afternoon and have that vote.
00:42 -Can you explain the "A" on your shirt and why you're wearing it?
00:45 -I'm wearing the scarlet letter after the week
00:47 that I just had last week, being a woman up here
00:50 and being demonized for my vote and for my voice.
00:53 I'm here to let the rest of the world know and the country know
00:56 I'm on the side of the people.
00:57 I'm not on the side of the establishment,
00:59 and I'm gonna do the right thing every single time,
01:02 no matter the consequences,
01:03 'cause I don't answer to anybody in D.C.
01:06 I don't answer to anyone in Washington.
01:07 I only answer to the people.
01:09 Thank you.
