Leading this hour, a new sign of the clear dysfunction in the republican party, right . Right now. I mean, how bad things have to be to turn down two days. All expenses paid at a Luxury Resort well, thats the reality for many many House Republicans and a source says, fewer than half of them have rsvp. Yes. For the annual event starting today, that is meant to build party unity. Republican Congresswoman Name since he made shes doing a tv or parents instead congressman Kelly Armstrong says hed rather focus on his campaign for governor. And congressman tim burchett remarked, quote, i dont retreat i move forward. I got a farm to run. This comes just one day after republican Lawmakers Said hes quitting congress altogether next week because of the fighting and bickering cnns Melanie Zanona is live for us in white sulfur springs, West Virginia where this retreat is taking place. Melanie, nice gig. What are you hearing . From lawmakers who did show up apparently we lost Melanie Zanona as sound. Okay. I wonder if he didnt laugh at my funny joke. Lets go now to Congressman Mike Lawler from new york. He a republican. Hes live on capitol hill clearly not at the greenbrier resort. Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. Congressman lawler our thanks really so bad amongst House Republicans right now that you all cant even spend a few days together at a Luxury Resort in the mountains listen jake, we spent a lot of time together, obviously here on capitol hill i have some events in washington tonight and then im going back to my district for events tomorrow. But look, obviously, we have been focused on a lot of pressing issues in washington and i know therell be having a good retreat and discussion about the path forward on a number of key issues, including the supplemental package, which ive introduced a bipartisan bill defending borders, defending democracies to secure our border and get aid to our allies and im sure ill get the Cliff Notes Persian of the discussion. But look, we talk daily on these issues on the work that we have ahead of us and, you know, being out of retreat is not going to change the fact that we have a lot of work to do, right . But it is the least Productive Congress since the 1930s. Ive never seen it so dysfunction shan, all you have ken buck, Congressman Ken Buck quitting next week instead of even just sticking it out until the end of his term, he announced he was retiring because of how uncomfortable and awkward and dysfunctional and all is youre not denying that . Well, respectfully, ken buck is one of the people that helped create some of the dysfunction by voting to remove Kevin Mccarthy as speaker of the house. So thats kinda rich coming from him. But look at the end of the day. We have passed a lot of bills through the house. I know a lot of times the focus is on the house. Chuck schumer and Senate Democrats who are in the majority down the hall have not passed much of anything. We have been focused on issues that impact the American People from Border Security with h. R. 2, which we passed in may of land this year, to energy independence, which hr one which we passed last year as well. So theres a lot that we have focused on just because as the senate chooses not to act cant put that solely on the house. Obviously, we would like to get a lot more legislation across the finish line but we are focused on the Appropriations Process will be coming back next week to pass the second tranche of Appropriations Bills for fiscal year 24 and get right to work on fiscal year 25. We have the supplemental package before us. I signed a Discharge Petition yesterday to bring that to a head because we need to support our allies. We need to secure our border. And these are issues that im continuing to focus on, despite some of the noise, despite some of the the infighting and despite some of the friction in a divided government right . But the reason that youre signing a disk charge petition to force the supplemental the foreign aid package onto the floor is because youre speaker, even though this did pass the senate by a big bipartisan margin, the speaker refuses to bring it up. And the reason he refuses to bring it up is not because it wouldnt pass on the floor if it was introduced today, it would get more than 300 votes from democrats and republicans such as yourself. Hes afraid, hes afraid to bring it forward because if he brings it forward theres going to be a rebellion from the far right. And he could lose his, his speakers his position as speaker right obviously, we had the motion to vacate back in october of last year that ended in Kevin Mccarthy being removed as speaker i think the speaker obviously has some concern about some of our members trying a similar tactic because they dont get their way. But ultimately, the responsibility of congress is to act. And i and others are willing to do that. And well forced the issue which is why i signed a Discharge Petition my hope is that republicans and democrats not only can unify hi behind getting a Border Security package and foreign aid package across the finish line, but protect the institution you know, remember, took eight republicans and over 210 democrats to team up to remove the House Speaker in october of last year. I know he came jeffries has intimated that they wont go along with that. Again you know, which certainly i think is important for them to clarify that they would not be party to another effort. At undermining the house and the institution. But we need to get our work done. It requires both parties in a divided government democrats control while the senate and the white house working together to get these issues across the finish line from our Appropriations Bills, which were in the process of doing to this supplemental, were not going to agree on everything. There does need to be negotiations. Thats why weve put this bill forward. But my objective and that of my colleagues, Bipartisan Group many of us part of the Problem Solvers Caucus is to get this across the finish line. Ukraine needs the support. Israel needs the support. We see the threats me in aiding from the Unholy Alliance of china, russia, and i ran this is the moment for america to be the leader that it is of the free world. And we need to pass thats this bill across the finish line here in Congress Speaking of china today, you voted in favor of a bill that would force the Chinese Owned Company bytedance to sell the social media app tiktok to a us entity or face a total ban what do you say to your constituents . Who dont see the app is a National Security threat. They just want to tell jokes or see funny videos or talk to their friends look as my colleague Richie Torres from new york said, in the last hour, this is not a the app itself. It is not about the content on the app. Were what our citizens here in the United States are doing on the app. The issue is about the chinese ownership of the app and the tie it is bytedance to the Chinese Communist party and the National Security threat that, that poses as the Chinese Communist party im the government in china looks to use data and information gathered on apps like tiktok for their own intelligence gathered during that is the concern here. And so we have passed legislation that seeks to force bytedance to sell the app so that americans and others around the world can continue to use it, but not be in fear of their privacy. Or our National Security being at stake. Because of the ties to the Chinese Communist party and this move puts your party in the house and senate at odds with former President Trump a place that your party in the house and senate is rarely willing to go. Mr. Trump says he opposes a ban on tiktok, even though he formerly had supported one. Your he opposes a ban on chinese ownership of tiktok. Why do you think trumps wrong on this issue well, i think all of us recognize in a bipartisan way the threats emanating from china. The former Speaker Mccarthy set up the select committee on the competition between the Chinese Communist party and the United States, specifically to look into to many of these issues that we all agree on, especially when were talking about the threats emanating from china, russia, and i ran. And so i think the former president , certainly in the past has expressed his concern about chinas ties to bytedance and tiktok and the need to protect the security and privacy of americans and so my position on this has not changed. Ive not wavered on this obviously you saw today a large Bipartisan Group in the house saying that we are concerned about the National Security implications here and we move forward with the bill in a big bipartisan vote, and well see hopefully the senate will take it up and take action so that again, were not seeking to ban tiktok were seeking to force the sale of the app to ensure that the ties between the Chinese Communist party and tiktok are no more, and that theyre not able to use them the Data Collected on tiktok to either manipulate our children here in the United States or pose a National Security threat do you think of tiktok has essentially spyware on the smartphones of the American People i think there is Great Potential for that, and that is part of the concern when you see how the data can be manipulated, how it can be utilized, and certainly how the app is being applied in china versus the United States, the restrictions that the chinese hes have put in place on Tiktok Versus what is being done here and how the algorithm could potentially be manipulated to indoctrinate our children here, to impact our governmental operations. I mean, just look at the fact that they were able to use the app to force teenagers and Young Children to call members of congress about this vote. And i think that speaks potential to the power of the app and how they can have an impact on our own government here in the United States. Again, we want people to be able to use social for media to express their First Amendment rights, to be able to communicate their ideas, to be able to create a videos and entertainment. But at the end the day, we want to protect the privacy and security of american citizens and our National Security. And thats what this is about. Why why do you say tiktok forced to teenagers to do that instead of enabled or empowered to teenagers to reach out to their representatives in congress well, certainly look, obviously, everyone is free to call their member of congress and they should. But when you have that type of coordinated effort and basically telling these children that this is going to ban tiktok when thats not exactly what the bill does. The bill is intended to force a sale which is something and by the way, that the chinese do continually two American Companies operating in china. And so this is again about National Security dirty interests here in the United States and protecting the privacy and security of american citizens, including our Young Children new york republican Congressman Mike Lawler.
