I AM TOLD WE HAVE THE GREAT

CONGRESSWOMAN CLAUDIA TENNEY

FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK.

CLAUDIA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I ASSUME YOU VOTED.

CLAUDIA, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US,

FIRST OF ALL THIS IS BALLOT

THREE, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING

133 BALLOTS LIKE WE DID IN 1856.

WE MIGHT GO NINE WHICH WE DID IN

THE MODERN ERA IN 1923.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

YOU LOOK LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.

GIVE US A LITTLE INSIDE

BASEBALL, WHAT'S COOKING?

>> HAPPY NEW YEAR.

WE'RE UNDER OUR THIRD BALLOT.

LUCKILY MY NAME IS AT THE END OF

THE ALPHABET.

I GET TO VOTE LAST TO BE HERE

WITH YOU.

THIS IS PRETTY UNPRECEDENTED AT

THIS MOMENT, RIGHT NOW I THINK

REPUBLICANS I THINK NEED TO

START STICKING TOGETHER.

I LISTENED A TOWEL THE

CONFERENCES.

I LISTENED TO THE DISCUSSIONS.

WE HAVE OUR GOVERNMENT IN

DISARRAY.

WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER.

WE NEED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

DEPENDENT ON WHAT WE CAN DO AS

REPUBLICANS.

WE'RE THE LAST BET HOPE RIGHT

NOW.

WE HAVE SENATE RUN BY DEMOCRATS.

WE HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION,

FREEWHEELING, EXECUTIVE ORDERS,

OUR BORDERS IS OPEN.

WE HAVE SKYROCKETING INFLATION.

WE ARE THE ONLY THING THAT CAN

STOP WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS

AUTHORITARIANISM, COMMUNISM FROM

THE LEFT.

WE EVEN HAD A DEMOCRAT GET UP ON

THE FLOOR TODAY SAID SHE WAS

HONORED TO VOTE FOR HAKEEM

JEFFRIES FROM THE PEOPLES

REPUBLIC OF BROOKLYN.

LAST TIME I KNEW NEW YORK STATE

WAS NOT A COMMUNIST REGIME.

IT WAS NOT THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC

OF CHINA.

THESE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT ARE

LAUGHING, MOCKING US, WE NEED A

SPEAKER IN PLACE, GET EVERYONE

SWORN IN.

WE NEED TO GET DOWN TO THE

BUSINESS OF FIXING INFLATION AND

OUR ECONOMY, GETTING GROWTH,

DEALING WITH THE SOUTHERN

BORDER.

HOLDING THIS ADMINISTRATION

WHICH IS VERY LAWLESS

ASKEDDABLE.

WE HAVE TO GET STARTED ON IT

RIGHT AWAY.

I HOPE WE GET TO THE BALLOT REAL

SOON.

I APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND THE

CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE BUT GUESS

WHAT, FESTIVE JUST IS OVER, TIME

FOR GRIEVANCES IS OVER, WE NEED

TO STICK TOGETHER AS A GROUP

OTHERWISE WE FAIL THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE.

LARRY: CLAUDIA TENNEY, I WAS

TALKING ABOUT WITH NEWT GINGRICH

ABOUT ALL OF THIS, AND I THINK

NEWT AGREED, THIS IS ABOUT

PERSONALITIES, NOT POLICIES.

I DON'T SEE THE POLICY DISPUTE.

I MEAN IT IS NOT LIKE KEVIN

McCARTHY IS SOME FAR LEFT-WING

GUY FOR HEAVENS SAKES.

IT IS NOT LIKE THE COMMITMENT TO

AMERICA WHICH ALL OF YOU PUT

TOGETHER IS IN A COGENT,

CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLED MESSAGE

THAT WILL STOP BIDEN'S RADICAL

AGENDA.

IT IS ABOUT PERSONALITIES.

YOU KNOW, CLAUDIA, TO ME

PERSONALITY POLITICS IS THE

WORST KIND OF POLITICS.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.

THE FORMER SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH

IS EXACTLY RIGHT.

THIS HAS COME DOWN TO

PERSONALITIES.

I HEARD GRIEVANCES, KEVIN, YOU

VOTED FOR OMNIBUS BILL FIVE OR

SIX YEARS AGO.

WE'LL HOLD THAT AGAINST YOU, NO

MATTER HOW FAR YOU GO BENDING

CHANGING RULES.

TO BE HONEST I THINK KEVIN HAS

GONE FAR ENOUGH.

THESE RULES, HE MADE CONCESSION

AFTER CAN SESSION.

YOU NEED TO JOIN THE TEAM.

STAND UP FOR THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE.

STAND UP FOR A RULES PACKAGE

THAT GIVES US A STRONG LEADER TO

STAND UP TO THE SENATE.

REMEMBER AS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST

TIME I WAS ON THE SHOW, THE

SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES

THAT GAVE US $1.7 TRILLION

SPENDING BILL THAT IS GOING

GOING TO LEAVE US STUCK AND

JAMMED UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE SUBPOENAS,

GETTING THEM COMPLIED WITH IS

GOING TO BE WITHOUT OUR POWER OF

THE PURSE, THAT WE'RE GIVEN BY

THE CONSTITUTION.

THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES HERE AT

PLAY.

I THINK SOONER WE GET BALLOT.

SOONER WE GET SPEAKER, GET DOWN

TO WORK I THINK BETTER IT IS FOR

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

LARRY: CLAUDIA, YOU'RE ON THE

FLOOR EXPERT VOTING, I'M NOT BUT

MR. McCARTHY GOT 19 NAY VOTES,

SORRY IN SORRY, EACH OF THE

FIRST TWO BALLOTS.

I'M SUGGESTING THAT IS NOT SUCH

A BAD THING.

THE 19 HAS NOT GONE TO 30 OR 35.

HE ORIGINALLY HAD, HE WON THE

MAJORITY LEADER, MAJORITY VOTE

EARLIER BUT I THINK HE LOST 30

SOMETHING VOTES.

SO FAR THE NAYS HAVE NOT

BALLOONED.

IS THAT A GOOD SIGN FOR KEVIN

McCARTHY IN YOUR JUDGMENT.

>> I DO.

I THINK THAT THERE IS A LOT

GOING ON IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA

WORLD, A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES

DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS

GOING ON HERE WITH THE SAUSAGE

MAKING AND INSIDE BASEBALL.

THAT WE NEED TO GOVERN, THE

ALTERNATIVE IS THE OTHER SIDE.

THEY'RE MOCKING, MAKING FUN OF

US AND GRANDSTANDING ON THE

OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOR.

GUESS WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS TO

OURSELVES.

IT IS NOT THEM.

I THINK WE'LL BRING IT TOGETHER.

THE PETTY GRIEVANCES.

I THINK THOSE 19 WILL EVENTUALLY

TURN OVER TO SUPPORTING KEVIN

McCARTHY.

LOOK, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET A

PERFECT SPEAKER.

WE NEVER HAD ONE.

AS MUCH AS I LOVE NEWT GINGRICH,

SPEAKERS IN THE PAST WE NEVER

HAD A PER SPECK SPEAKER.

WE HAVE REPUBLICANS IN PLACE TO

WORK WITH US, MAKE CONCESSIONS

WHICH HE HAS DONE.

I THINK IN SOME CASES HE HAS

GONE TOO FAR.

WE CAN DO ANOTHER RULES ADJUST

ONCE WE GET A SPEAKER IN PLACE,

GET CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.

LARRY: THANK Y
