This is Good Morning DT with both Thompson and Beth
troud Man.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All right, seven twenty one on WBT Friday morning, seventeenth
of October, seventeenth day of the government shutdown in Washington,
d C. The guy we're going to talk to you next, well,
his his colleague getting a little exasperated yesterday. I don't
like being mad, Mike.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I want to be happy, Mike.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I want to be a happy warrior, but I am
so upset about this.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
God bless America. We're done.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's how the House speaker ended his daily news conference,
updating everybody about what's going on from his perspective during
the shutdown. We go to the hotline now on Friday morning.
Welcome in Congressman Mark Harris from District number eight. Good morning, Congressman.
Hello Mark Harris. I don't think he's there.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Oh there is.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We had you on meal apparently.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Sorry, can you hear us be with you?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Good?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So I hope you're doing okay. And I was just
playing a clip of Mike Johnson. I don't know if
you heard that, but I know you know about his
press conference yesterday where he was a little out of sorts.
Towards the end, obviously frustrated with what's going on in
now day seventeen What about the government shutdown seventeen days
in from your perspective.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well, listen, let me just say a word about Mike Johnson.
Speaker Johnson has done, I think a phenomenal job in
the role as he continues to bring leadership in the
midst of this crisis of this shutdown. He is working daily,
he is keeping folks informed, he's meeting with folks, talking
(01:45):
with folks. But again, this government shut down that we
are in, people continue to ask when do you think
it'll be over? And you hear all kinds of wild
rumors or statements out there, But the only person that
really is going to be able to answer that question
is Chuck Schumer. And that is when that he's going
to release or get five more folks on his side
(02:09):
of the aisle in the Senate to pass or at
least allow the vote on the continuing Resolution that we
passed all the way back on September nineteenth to make
sure that the government remained open. So, I mean, that's
one thing that I have to keep clarifying with people.
The Senate just keeps voting, and a majority continue to
(02:31):
vote in order to have the vote on the clean CR.
And yet they've got to have that magic number of
sixty because of the filibuster. And so even though you've
had three Democrats crossover, you're still short because they cannot
take the vote on the Quean r. This is a
procedural vote that is holding everything up in the Senate
(02:54):
and it's unfortunate, and we we continue to to hope
that something's.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Going to break and tell us again how far how
long that CR would carry us, that.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
CR would carry us November twenty first, which again is
not They're winding the clock down on that, which is
really kind of crazy. Again, the purpose of that clean
CR best was so that we could continue to pass
appropriation bills and get that done. The Senate has passed
three of the twelve. We passed three of the twelve.
(03:31):
My understanding, all twelve on the House side are out
of committee and have got to be presented on the
floor and they're in the pipeline ready to roll, so
that we would be able to vote to move those
appropriation bills and get as many as we possibly can
by that November twenty first day, because again if we
(03:54):
avoided the government shut down, then we certainly were going
to have an additional seven weeks in order to get
to that November twenty first date.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
So if the negotiations or if no conversation has really
had about the healthcare aspect and the subsidies that the
Democrats are asking for, what happens. If we get to
November twenty first, then what happens And if the government
is still shut down, well.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There's going to obviously have to be a new cr
that will have to pass with another date out there
or a different kind of syr I guess. But at
this point those subsidies do not expire until the end
of the year. The question is, I mean, if they
keep the government shut down and it keeps going all
(04:43):
the way to the end of the year, I mean,
I guess say you shoot themselves in the foot, because
those subsidies expire at the end of December. Any way,
shape or form, they just do. So the thing that
we have continued to say, and the Speaker has continued
to say, that open the government, open it up, allow
us to be able to get back in have session,
(05:06):
be able to meet in committees, be able to have
the debate, have the conversation, have the negotiation, and decide
how we're going to move forward. But the craziness of
this shutdown that Chuck Schumer has insisted on, and truly,
from my perspective, he is doing it to look over
his shoulder, to please the left flank. I know there's
(05:29):
these rallies that are going on nationwide tomorrow that are
just kind of hating on President Trump, that type of thing.
I think they call them No King's Rally, and they're
doing them across the country. The biggest one is in Washington,
d C. I guess, And it's just an opportunity for
Chuck Schumer to kind of be the big man on campus,
(05:50):
I guess, and show that he's fighting President Trump. And
yet at the same time, nothing's getting accomplished except we're
having to move money around so that we were able
to pay the troops. Thank god, President Trump had Pete
Haiks that do find some money there at the Department
of Defense. We were able to pay the troops on
(06:12):
October fifteenth, which was important, critically important. And so all
those kind of things are going on right now, making
sure the women, infants, and children are paid. But again
that money is going to run out quickly. But President
Trump rust boded at the office, Management and budget are
continuing to work and manage that as well.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You mentioned some headlines, not domestic headlines, but some of
the stuff going on overseas. Obviously trying to see if
the Gays deal is going to hold. But also President
Trump will meet with Vladimir Zelenski today and it's been
announced that he's going to have a face to face
meeting soon with Putin. I want to get your take on,
especially the truth social posts he put out there yesterday
(06:59):
regarding what's happening in Gaza. Will continue with Congressman Mark
Harris here on WBT on a Friday morning, October seventeenth.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
This is good morning, Bet.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We continue at seven thirty seven on a Friday morning.
Bo and Beth here talking to Congressman Mark Harris. Lots
of international headlines to get to here, and so a
couple things on the President Trump front yesterday. Congressman Harris,
he had a truth social posting, a short one yesterday,
but I'll read it real quick.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Here.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
He says, if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza,
which was not the deal, we will have no choice.
But to go in and kill them. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. So you're watching what's happening
with the peace plan signed in the Middle East as
we head into the weekend. And then also a word
now that President Trump is going to meet with Vladimir
(07:55):
Zelenski today at the White House and we'll meet face
to face in the coming days with Vladimir Putin. This
is President Trump talking about the situation going on with
Ukraine in Russia. Yesterday.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Marco Rubio is going to be meeting with his counterpart,
as you know, Labrov, and they'll be meeting pretty soon.
They're going to set up a time and a place
very shortly. Maybe it's already set up. They've already spoken.
And I thought it was a very good phone call.
I thought it very productive. But I'll be meeting with
President Putin and we'll make a determination tomorrow, a meeting
(08:29):
with President Zelensky, and I'll be telling them about the call.
I mean, we have a problem. Don't get along too well,
those two, and it's sometimes tough to have meetings. So
we may do something where we're separate, but separate but equal.
We'll meet and talk parties. But this is a This
(08:51):
is a terrible relationship the two of them have, and
it's one of those things. I've seen things that nobody
would believe, but this is one of them. So I'll
be any We're going to be meeting in Hungary. Victor
Robin is going to be hosting, and it's it's really
uh something that's time. I thought this would be because
(09:13):
of my relationship with President Putin. I thought this would
be very quick, and it s turned out to be.
Who would think I did Middle East before I did this?
We did a total of eight, now seven and now eight,
and we're gonna make this number nine.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, So Zelenski scheduled to meet with Trump in just
a few hours. Congressman, on those two fronts, both the
Middle East peace plan that we hope is going to
hold and also what's coming ahead with Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Your thoughts, Yeah, listen, I since we talked last Friday,
if you stop and think about it, we saw amazing
things that took place over the over the weekend, and
then our earlier on Monday of this past week. What
took place and seeing those hostages come home, I think
(10:02):
the whole world was just incredibly touched and moved by that,
and then of course President Trump traveled over to Egypt
had assembled all of those folks from the Arab nations
who were again meeting with him. It was a historic
time and I think that all too often we move
from one crisis to the other. Now, granted that there's
(10:24):
still some issues obviously, as we're seeing kind of the
Hamas raise its head, ugly head again and continuing some
of its activity. I told my staff yesterday when I
saw that true social I said, you have to appreciate
President Trump's directness. I mean, as you said, that was
a true social post. That was short and sweet, but
(10:47):
it just put it out there. The deal is the deal,
and Harmas is going to disarm, and they cannot continue
to do this, and if necessary, they will have to
be taken out. And he's very clear about that. So
we continue to hope that's going to hold, that work
is progressing. I think you have to be encouraged. I'm
(11:10):
encouraged by what has developed just in the last day
or two. The meeting that's going to be happening with
Zelensky today, I'm hopeful it's going to be a very
positive thing, as he's able to President Trump's able to
talk with him about what this meeting. I was a
little bit surprised to see this meeting was going to
be coming up in two weeks in Budapest. That was
(11:32):
certainly encouraging as well. Could it have to do with
the fact that Trump is still exercising his peace through
strength and those Tamahawk missiles that are going to be
very important have evidently become a bit of an attention
getter for Putin. As President Trump talked about that next thing,
you know, a phone call happens, the next thing you know,
(11:55):
a meeting is set up, and so I don't know
how all that's going to eventually play out. But again,
President Trump has maintained the overall posture of the United
States of peace through strength, and of course he's working
through NATO and working with NATO, which is how those
Tomahawk missiles would ultimately be sold to Ukraine. So again,
(12:18):
a lot of moving pieces, very fragile time, but I'm
very hopeful for the progress that we may very well
see on that front as well.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You know, he famously posted on social media just several
days ago that he thought that Ukraine could get back
all of the territory, which was new language from President Trump.
What do you think is to be made of the
meeting in Budapest in Hungary? Given that Victor Orbon, the
Prime Minister there, is considered one of Putin's closest allies,
(12:51):
do you think that has any impact on the meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, he may be one of Putin's allies or considered that,
but you've got to remember he is a strong, strong
relationship with Donald Trump, and he has been considered an
ally of Donald Trump all along as well, and he's
very conservative and UH he's brought a lot of reforms
to Hungary UH in the process as well. So I
(13:17):
think that I think it's going to be a very
interesting meeting. And I think when you really stop and
look at all of the facts that are playing out,
the fact that Putin is losing, he is losing credibility
with Donald Trump, and every time he talks and then
does something different, I think that his boot stock value
(13:40):
goes down UH as a leader. And I think Trump
is I think positioning himself to UH to try to
get to a conclusion to this thing.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
If possible, Congressman Mark Harris will have to stop it.
There We're up against the clock. We appreciate your time
each week, and perhaps next time we talk to you
the government will be open. But I'm not going to
hold my breath this way.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This day, we can hope and pray. Listen. I just
heard yesterday Senator John Kennedy say that he thought this
could go through Thanksgiving, and I thought, surely not. So
we're praying that nothing like that continues on. But anyway,
we're going to keep working to get it open.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
And Thanksgiving would be past that. November twenty first, you know,
deadline for the cr Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, there would be a lot of things that would
be moving prior to that. But again they can they
until they vote in the Senate to move forward. We're
just stuck and right now that's on Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, we appreciate you coming on and hope you have
a good weekend. We'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Thank you very much, look forward to it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, sir, that's Congressman Mark Harris District number eight. Joins
us every Friday, sometimes from DC, sometimes from the district here,
but always gives us an ear to the ground on
what's happening.
