including eight new one-vote threshold for motion to vacate, in other words one republican can force of both to ask the speaker if he doesn t keep his promises and mccarthy also agreed to add freedom caucus members to the all important rules committee and committed t standalone votes for each of th 12 appropriations appropriation bills as well as a vote on term limits for members of congress. again, look at your screen, mc carthy has already laid out his commitments to america, it on paper, he signed his name, that is a promise and submit, he s given detailed promises on the economy including less government spending. fewer regulations, domestic energy production, protecting against china surrounding our supply chain issues, also promises related to foreign policy, border security, ending the biden catch and release and bringing back the successful trump policies on the border. funding the police, yes, that s
like barnacles on a boat that he s not going to be able to ge off. but there is progress to your point. what you think, who are the four that you are think hard no kevin under any circumstances. mac gates would one. to keep matt gates, i think bishop. bishop from north carolina said he might resign for it. he said he didn t mean that, he said he would eventually hav to leave congress, but he wasn saying that, just at that momen bird but these guys don t have personality problem with kevin m ccarthy, they do not believe or trust him one way or another whether it something and the past or something, they don t trust impaired they also see a lot of upside in what they re hearing from constituents that say put up the fight, can chang congress, and to your point, th 200 plus our saying we re going
becomes less, and that is possible to then have that number as long as it is more than 212, but there will be democrats missing as well. to your point in your open, i think that you are right. there is a lot of concern about spending specifically in a lot of people are saying we need to change the way congress works great some of these concessions deal strictly with that and i think you saw one of the nominating nominating speeches today, french hill from arkansa essentially, go right to that saying we don t want massive bills hitting the floor, we wan to be able to read them over 70 to hours. we want to have a say in all of this. they are trying to structure this deal that as you point out is being written up, so it is i stone that the opponents come with a 20 voting against mc carthy can say see it and say i can sign onto this. there are never mccarthy votes probably for them that aren t
zero democrats voted, how many voted for the inflation reduction at? all of them. you re dealing with the democratic party sure they are more disciplined and more in lockstep because they don t invite dissension and disagreement, we have people wh are bringing to the table different ideas and they want t make sure that they are heard before the congress is seated. one last thing, i know that the are running around saying i m doing this for the trump base even i m doing this because of my constituents, that is fair, this same constituents could be hurt if we don t act with some alacrity now. why? because they are hearing now from the irs in different departments i can t help you as a constituents because they are not yet a member of congress they can t get the high securit clearances, they can t get into security briefings and they can t help the constituents bir they don t pass a rules packet
donald trump, who just reannounced or announced his re-election not re-election, he will be running in 2024, chuck schumer 71. so a lot of elderly lawmakers. i mean, this generational shift was needed yesterday, wouldn t you say? well, that is definitely the feeling of the younger members of congress. you have seen a lot of people leave over the years because they get elected at a younger age, perhaps in their 20s, 30s or 40s, and they serve for a few terms but it doesn t really seem to be a chance for advancement because of the way congress is set up. and it really is run by octogenarians. that s the way the chambers operate. and so we ve seen people who felt that they could have been in line for speaker leave congress previously or even run for the senate or do different things because they feet there was no chance for advancement. this is the chance now.
