going to come out of this chaos. concurrent with the speaker race is an effort to change the rules of the house, the way this place works. and regardless of who wins, i think we are going to get some changes in the way this place works. >> on this demand that he's making, on this list of demands, especially the demand that he's not going to give up family time is one thing. that stuck out to a lot of people that, wow, this is a man who's trying to figure out a work/life balance that a lot of us haven't been able to accomplish. you think he's trying to demand his way out of contention, though? >> that's what i think. and look, i'm sympathetic to his demands. if you say that the speaker's job now includes getting to go home every weekend to your family, i expect we have 50 more people that would take the job under those conditions. >> congressman thomasie, it's great to see you. thank you so much. keep us updated. >> all right. i will. >> we're marking you down as a no vote. >> a soft no, maybe? we'll see. we'll check with you tomorrow.
