We dont know what deals have been cut. most of the members on that floor probably dont know all of the assurances that have been made. we know there will be a rules package and that rules package will leave the speaker much less powerful than the speaker has been.

Must have this strong rules package. my point all along is that we either need this strong rules package, thats what determines how congress will act, how we will govern in this next congress. we need this package. >> neil: apparently kevin mccarthy has signed off on the package that it does some of the things including the freedom caucus and some conservative colleagues are little bit more empowered setting the legislative agenda and the rules committee, what have you. but that was everything t...
