00:00 People say it's chaos here just because the special interests don't have a
00:05 unified way to control everything. I have no regrets and I think it was the right
00:09 call and I think we're gonna come out of this process stronger, a fighting
00:13 Republican force ready to confront the Biden administration in ways that we
00:17 hadn't under the prior speaker.
00:20 I would support Jordan. The problem is there's I think there's enough people
00:27 that would see what has happened and transpired over the last 40 hours to
00:30 not support him that we're gonna have the same problem with Jordan that we had
00:33 with Scalise. So it's a math, I think it's a math problem frankly so that's
00:39 that's the challenge we've got we got to figure it out tomorrow morning.
00:43 So to me what I'd like to see is if Jim can't get to 217 it makes sense that we
00:53 figure out a way where they can share the power. One is speaker and one is
00:59 the majority leader. But if that doesn't work then you got to go to other people.
