Plus no interest until January two thousand and twenty four on all smart beds ends Monday. Whatever you need were here, will Steve reelected as speaker. Fourth time as the Congress sworn in yesterday, only seven votes carried her over House Minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy after five Democrats broke, rank next guest sworn in for second term and said he proudly voted against her joining us. Is Republican Texas, congressman Lance Gooden, congressman good morning to you and congratulations good morning. Thank you very much Steve. Her margin was really narrow. I know there were no defections on the republican side. She had five or six and in fact, Jared Golden voted for Tammy Buck Worth and Conor Lamb voted for Hakeem Jeffries.

She must have done some real arm twisting behind the scenes she must have. You know. Nancy Pelosi is very you know. Nancy Pelosi is very good. At counting votes shoe has had one hundred years to master the process. It was close. They were sweating it they didnt know if they would have members unable to show up. They have been proxy voting this whole year. There were members in the chamber yesterday that had made their first trip it Washington, D, dot c in about eight months, and so there was uncertainty, one member claimed to have Covid six days ago. They had allegedly set up plexiglass for her in in the event they needed her vote at the last minute on the floor. They didnt be in the end, but it just goes to show how nervous they were about the whole process. Steve. I think you are referring to Glen Moore a Democrat from Wisconsin announced six days earlier. She had tested positive for covid didnt say when or if she was negative said she was cleared of by her

doctors to travel, so she was in the chamber. You know I mentioned this a moment ago. After a couple of weeks of really bad publicity, Eric Swalwell, Nancy Pelosi, reinstalled him on the Intel Committee after that relationship a number of years ago, with the chinese spy, its incredible the fact that he was even there after the all, if she had any knowledge of that is stunning to me. But after what came out in the last month that he would still be on that committee is either incompetence or desfather ration on her part to Keepdesdesperatio whole vote theory. That would make sense to me she had to have his vote to stay speaker keeping him on because she actually believes in him is just crazy to me. Steve then again back when he first came in. She was apparently brief, evidenced on what had transpired, thats, correct, Steve and put it on it anyway. It speaks to her judgment, its a shame. We also know if the situation were reversed.

If it were a Republican on that committee, they would just be. There would be outrage on the streets on the democratic side, Steve absolutely all right. There is outrage on the in the streets of the Democrats that a number of Republicans, including you there are one hundred and forty house members who plan to challenge the electoral college certification on Wednesday. What happened touring the election that has pushed you to the point where you say hey. We have got to talk about this before we vote. You know in my election in Texas. Just at a much smaller scale, level poll watchers, representing my campaign, were turned away from polling places in Democrat, Run Dallas County, and I thought to myself. If this is happening to me here, whats happening in these other areas and then come to find out. There were numerous instances allegations sworn testimony by people who are purging themselves. If Theypurge Perjurin

telling the truth, numerous counts of voter fraud across the area. Thee have not had full audits of ballots in Georgia when you recount the same ballots. All over again, all you are doing is recountinged what numbers we have been refused a full signature audits in places like Georgia. I heard yesterday that if, in fact, there was this fraud that the Senate runoff for Mr Perdue is not even necessary, so we have just got so many questions that voters want answers to. My constituents want answers to, and I dont understand why Democrats refuse to even have a conversation about this. These allegations you would think they would want them cleared up going into January, 20Th, Steve right that he was what I read. The main thing Republicans just simply want to have the discussion want to have the debate result. Mastly, though I would imagine you would like some sort of election reform so that this never happens again. That would be nice its difficult to imagine a scenario where we have meaningful reform. If Nancy Pelosi is speaker, especially if we lose in Georgia tomorrow,

the Georgia Races tomorrow are so critical, but would he have got to at least shine a light on fraud and these allegations and put these to bed, and I dont think that we have had answers. I dont understand why the other side calls my side. Those of house are come out in opposition to certifying these results. Why they have called us unamerican why they say its irresponsible. I dont understand why Republicans in the house, some of my own colleagues would actually come out and say that what were doing is unamerican and unwise. I think getting to the root of these allegations and determining what fraud did or did not take place is very american and is our duty. As members of Congress Steve. We should point out that Democrats have done it in the past, so its not unprecedented congressman. Thank you very much.
