Regret The Democrats playing games with january 6th . Yes. They played so many politics. What they did to this institution, what they did to this building was so wrong. The idea that they put magnetometers there, the idea that they would go to any republican member that they had been cosponsors of bills, and they no longer could be a cosponsor, that they would find members 5,000 if the magazine top of theers went on. But when nancy went around it or clyburn, it all got waived. The idea that bills didnt have to go through committee, the idea they created a select committee on january 6th and they wouldnt let the minority appoint who to do it . Im trying to change all that and bring the body back so they can work together. But i think they did a lot of damage to us. Yes, sir . The house is trying to pass the appropriations bill one by one. Where are you in the process thats always been my goal. You know, i just talked to mitch yesterday, and i had a call in to schumer, and i talked to hakeem last night. What i was going to do is because we had passed. We had taken five up. We passed four of them. I was going the start individually preconferencing so we can get this work done. Im concerned with the timeline now. Look, i truly believe at the end of the day, we can get this all worked out. I do believe at the end of the day, we can find Common Ground and do something about the border. I dont know if this has caused problems. Look, i was doing squawk today, and they had the other tv on msnbc. And the first time i saw msnbc running a whole story about the border, with people just walking across. Pritzker sent a letter yesterday about the immigration. Massachusetts governor state of emergency. Connecticut. Everybody is becoming the number one. They cannot ignore it. And i had told my members all before, i heard Gaetz Say On The Floor oh my god, kevin asked for top gap measure when we kalmbach. The whole plan was buzz those eight and a few more had held up passing any bills all summer, i was going to do just what we did saturday, a Stopgap Measure with disaster. I had gone out to hawaii. We looked at what happened to florida. Those people shouldnt be held back. And we could finish doing it all individually. But somehow they think thats a dirty word. Yes . Have you spoken with your [ Inaudible Question ] oh, yeah. Oh, you know, my poor mom. Have you guys met my mom yet . My mom is fabulous. My mom is this italian lady. And she calls me the other day. She said oh she gets worried, reads what you guys write. And she says im so nervous, im so nervous. Why, mom . Its all right. Last night when she went in the house and left her car running in the garage all night long. My mom only fills her car up once a week in costco and then calls me. She still lives in california. The price of gas is so high. She asks me what im going to do about it. I think this job is always harder on your loved ones than you yourself. Theyll be okay. Did you make a signed deal with the white house on ukraine . No, no. Look, unequivocally no. Oh, well, if you want to categorize this. People think, i did tell when we were doing the Stopgap Measure, there was a concern in there, does it have transferability on money. I believed and my staff believed that it did. But what i did say to the white house, if it does not, if you think some way it doesnt do it, he will fix that. I did say that, and i did say id do it. Look, i support arming ukraine. That doesnt mean sending them cash, but arming ukraine. I have been on the white house even before they sent the supplemental, i said you guys are doing it all wrong by just sending it as a supplemental. And i think the president is failing here because hes not telling the American Public what is the mission. Now, we have a lot of members who are navy s. E. A. L. S who have been in theater, and f18 pilots, and theyre frustrated. They want to support, but they dont want to support an never ending war. They want to see what is going on here. On the white house, you got to come down and talk to everybody, but you should listen to them and the prospects. Im really concerned the longterm. Whats happening around looks a lot like the 1930s. A lot of actions that putin takes is very similar to hitler. If you are history buffs, youll know, hitler served in the world war i army, right . He hated that his country collapsed and he signed the treaty of versailles. And what did he do . He ran and created a new party and ran a democracy. Again and again and again until he won. And when he won, what did he do . He took the freedoms away. And then he rebuilt his military. Even though it went against the treaty of versailles, the world power said nothing. And then what did he do . He took part of czechoslovakia. He took austria. And then he told the entire world he was going to take the rest of it on a given day. So now the world power could not sit back. So in comes neville chamberlain. What had happened . Well, hitler loved it because he was equal now to the world power. But he saw weakness. Neville chamberlain made him sign a piece of paper and told peace for our time. And then he invaded poland the next year and world war ii began. If you study, putin didnt serve in the soviet union army, but he served in the kgb. He hated that his country collapsed to the west. He hated it so much, when gorbachev died, he still didnt attend the funeral. What did he do . He rebuilt his military. But he learned something. A military makes you strong, but dependency makes you weak. He rebuilt it by selling his natural gas to europe. But when his pipeline that went through ukraine, when they changed power, he didnt want the pay. So he proposed a new pipeline, nord stream 2. Everybody loved it. America at least sanctioned it. Merkel said great. But what did he do when he rebuilt his military . Invaded georgia, took part of the donbas, took crimea, and the world powers really didnt say much. But then when he parked 100,000 troops on the border of ukraine, and after he watched afghanistan collapse, thats going to give us challenges for the next two decades. He got his meeting with the world power. So in comes biden. And what does biden do . He lifts the sanctions off nord stream 2, but asks nothing for it. Putin misreads that and invades ukraine, thinking it would collapse in two weeks based upon afghanistan. But now we have something even worse thats happened in the 1930s. Before hitler moved, he created an axis of power, right . With italy and japan, all countries who wanted to expand their sphere of influence. Before putin invaded afghanistan, what did he do . Create an axis of power with china, north korea, and iran. All countries who want to expand their sphere of influence. So what we do here is very important. We cant sit there and just collapse it, because it will look from afghanistan. We cant just throw money at it. If we provide the weapons to be successful but why its so much personal to me, in was it 2014 or 2015, when putin invaded the first time, i went to ukraine. And then i came back. And i took a bipartisan group, and we went to the white house, and we sat in the Situation Room with then the Vice President who was in charge of ukraine, joe biden. And we advocated lets sell them javelins so they can stop tanks. So they wouldnt invade. He said no. He said europeans wouldnt want it. Why dont we sell them to them now and keep them in poland, then. Didnt think that was right. And i fear of making the same mistake twice. And sending the wrong messages. But the thing i would tell everybody is more americans are dying on the Southern Border than are dying in ukraine. Each and every day, a plane of americans crash from fentanyl. And i dont understand how the white house continues to ignore it. My whole plan, and ive been up front from the very beginning what i would say, if you want anything on ukraine, we got to do something with the border. Mr. President , you mentioned earlier i was joking. Theyre all right. Consider supporting primary challenges to republicans . You know one of the things when i was running for speaker, i couldnt get involved in primaries. But i told the conference, im a free agent now, arent i . I think im pretty good at electing people. When is the last time you spoke to president biden, and do you expect to now . You know, i was thinking than. Its been a long, long time. Couldnt remember when i spoke to him last. You know, ive worked with a couple of different president s. I would have thought i thought we had built some respect for one another going through the debt ceiling. I know he got frustrated with me, but and i have a great deal of respect for the people in his office i worked for, richette and, theyre smart. I respect them. They were honest. And i thought we made a good agreement. As a president , i would engage more. I think being handson, look, youre the leader of the free world. All the other president s i think bringing people together is a better way talking through stuff. When youre in those rooms, you can talk about all sorts of things. Do you think opening additional inquiry to his son might have been trigger to that . To what part . The part about you guys not communicating very much . No, lets talk about that. You guys play remember what an Impeachment Inquiry is. Simply the ability to give the house, republicans and democrats the power when you request for information. So if you were lawmakers and i hold you in highest steam, because you are investigative reporters. Youre supposed to cover this stuff. When i came into power, i didnt know any of this. I did not know when he was Vice President that his family created 20 Shell Companies. I had no about that. Not saying thats wrong. I did not know they got 16 of the 17 payments from romania while he was Vice President , and he was supposed to be in charge of romania. I didnt know that. I had no idea when a whistleblower came to us and said that the fbi has an informant they still pay who claims that the president was bribed by 5 million. And whats interesting, we had to fight to get that document. And when we got that document, it said it would be hard to find because he has a lot of Shell Companies. Then i had no idea that irs agents would come to us. How would i know . They come to us and say, look, weve worked for 16 years. We dont have any political basis on the other side, but were concerned with whats happened here, that doj allowed the statute of limitations to run out, that they werent allowed to interview hunter because when they went and told the fbi, they told them, and then they even told the inaugural committee, i dont know how that played in, that the doj would call Hunter Bidens attorneys and tell them they dont even know about a storage unit with all the papers before they could go there. The president told us he never had a meeting. He never talked to his son. Look, when he said he never talked to his son, i dont believe that. I dont think its wrong you talk to your son. I want you to talk to your kids about anything. It doesnt mean youre influencing anything. I had no idea that the partner to hunter biden that also served on the Ukrainian Energy board said they would literally call in to meetings. And then he said that they were getting a lot of pressure, bure re burisma, to do something about the ukraine prosecutor. And i did know the president tell the entire country that he withheld A Billion Dollars of american taxpayer money to get rid of the prosecutor. And then we found out that the president not only called into meetings, he went to cafe milano. He went to Cafe Milano More Times and met with The Business Parters of hunter biden than he has gone to the boarder in 50 years. But with each meeting you went to cafe milano, and ive never had this happen. Ive been to cafe milano, but ive never gotten a new porsche the next day and never got 3 million wired to me from a russian oligarch. So if you knew all of that, would you at least say hmm, i think there is more. Weve never asked for the tax or the Bank Statements of the president , of hunter, or anybody else. And these 20 Shell Companies had credit cards that were being paid. Now this laptop that was supposed to be russian that we now found out was hunter, in there he did say his father would take the money from him. He did make and we did find out that the president i didnt know this when i became speaker, used another name while he was Vice President for emails. And in one of the emails, it said it only went to him and his son hunter, and it was about a phone call he was going to have with the president of ukraine. Now, if you knew all of that, would you say oh, i dont have any more questions. Or would you say at least as a lawmaker, and you have a role here, wouldnt you at least say okay, well, were going have to go get some more documents. And if youre going get nor documents, i just want to make sure if theyre going to fight it and string everything out, that we can get it. Thats all an Impeachment Inquiry. Now if that made the president upset, maybe he shouldnt have lied to us from the beginning. Yes . Former President Trump is very active in supporting you mr. Gaetz not telling the truth on several things, claimed today the president supported what what was your experience i doubt if thats true. Yes, maam . You spoke about fundraising prowess and hoping the majority is here last year. Are you nervous that because [ Inaudible Question ] look, i didnt say that. I was just told that by democrats in their conference. Thats what helped them make their decision, that a lot of the frontline i think their quote was why would we help the person that becomes our executioner. Do you think that todays events will hurt the conferences chance of expanding . No, im sure matt gaetz will give the nrcc a lot of money. He raised a lot online. You mentioned that gaetz had a grudge against you and its personal. Why does he not like you . Im not quite sure. I dont need to find out either. Look, judge me by my enemies. Have you spoken before wednesday . No. So much of this area of str strategy. [ Inaudible Question ] conservative option to try and pass that and then see do you think that was the right tactic . Should congress do that Going Forward . Well, let me ask you this. Democrats earlier. Let me ask you this. Would we ever have gotten the debt court of appealing . The president said he would never talk to me, that we just had to raise it. Had we not passed the bill so, yes, i think it worked well. All right. Yes . What kind of roles do you see yourself playing in the party moving forward . Is that campaign . Well, no, ill continue to help all the way possible. Look, ive been very fortunate. When i came to congress in my second term, i got to be chief deputy whip. I got to be Majority Whip. I got to be Majority Leader. Ive been Minority Leader and ive been speaker. Ive been blessed. And there is something about 10,000 hours i believe in it, a lot of different experience. I believe in bringing new blood up and helping them. And i want to help them all the way. Look, i enjoy you. I dont know if youll cover me as much. But im sure i wont miss you, but see you soon. A wide ranging former House SpeakerKevin MccarthyHolding Forth on a broad variety of subjects from impeachmenting president s to hitler. Ousted as speaker. Good evening, along with jake tapper and kaitlan collins. Thank you for joining us. That was now congressman mccarthy speaking to reporters, moments ago saying he would not be trying to get that job back. I dont regret standing up for choosing up for governing over grievance. It is my responsibility. It is my job. I do not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise. I dont regret my efforts to build coalitions and find solutions. I was raised to solve problems, not create them. So i may have lost a vote today, but as i walk out of this chamber, i feel fortunate to have served the american people. Kevin mccarthy taking his name out of the running, which in turn came moments after the House RepublicanConference Meeting which set a vote on his replacement for next week. According to members afterwards, meaning it seems a weeklong power vacuum for the house, a week of wouldbe leaders maneuvering for position, a week in which nothing of any consequence in Congress Gets done. Anderson, it was quite a finish to an already historic day. A House Speaker undone by a rebellion within his party led by ultra maga florida congressman matt gaetz. The last time there was a motion to vacate, a vote to get rid a speaker was in 1910, but speaker joe cannon soundly survived that vote. Speaker Kevin Mccarthy not so much. On this vote, the yeas are 216. The nays are 210. The resolution is adopted. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. The office of speaker of the house of the United States house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. Moments after that, speaker pro tem Patrick Mchenry of North Carolina gavelled out the session, and it kind of looked like he was pretending matt gaetzs head. The chair declares the house in Recess Subject to the call of the chair. Very angry. Eight republican members led by gaetz sealed mccarthys fate, using the onevote motion to vacate tool that mccarthy rather recklessly agreed to in order to get the speakership. Mccarthy rode the tiger, as john f. Kennedy famously said, and then found himself insi
