Jared Halpern joints Now Live from DCR, Fox correspondent there, Jared,
welcome in, Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Absolutely, it feels like midday with all the action overnight
on the House floor.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Oh my gosh. I was talking to our Congressman Gary
Palmer about this at about ten o'clock and I said, hey,
where are you? He goes, well, I got to be
honest with you. We got four Republicans that are kind
of out here and not wanting to play ball. And
I'm like, what, you guys. I know, I know, if
they don't get this through a certain stage of this,
we can't even bring the thing to the House floor
for a vote yet. And I guess at about three
(00:32):
thirty in the morning they kind.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of you know, yeah, they were able to flip those Republicans.
It's pretty extraordinary because these were freedom caucused, those fiscal
hawk conservatives who don't appear to have gotten at least
in the ability concessions. Nothing was taken in was put in,
nothing was taken out of this legislation. This is the
exact language that narrowly cleared the Senate earlier this week.
(00:57):
And so you know, I think they'll be questions raised
about kind of what led them to change their minds.
There had been discussion yesterday here at the White House
as a lot of these members were meeting with President
Trump and administration officials about how executive orders could be
perhaps used to assuage some of their concerns. Additional recisions
(01:20):
packages that process by which Congress can rescind funding that
it has already approved. It is a rare move and
one that is hard to achieve, but certainly something that
House Republicans could take up because it is extraordinary that
we went in a matter of twelve hours as many
(01:42):
as five, six, seven Republican no votes to just a
single Republican who voted against that procedural step to move
on to debate last night or I guess early this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, I got to tell you the fact that it's
going through. They did get to the early as far
as the deadline goes to the President's by July.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Fourth, the cash yet, but it appears that it will right.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think the only thing left to do is sign
they've got a final, final vote, but it looks like
they've already got it. I guess a keen Jeffery finally
wrapped up. How many hours was he?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, he's still he's still speaking. He's just fourth hours. Listen,
it's not you know who holds the record though for
longest floor speech in the House by an opposition leader.
Kevin McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay, all right, I do I want.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
To say for seven hours. So this is called a
magic minute. The top Republican and top Democrat in the
House are allotted one minute to speak, but it is
an untimed minute, so we call it the magic minute
because it can last as long as they would like
to speak. And so you know, the King Jefferies using
(02:48):
that privilege the same way that, like I said, a
couple of years ago, I remember being on the House
floor when Kevin McCarthy was out there and you know,
aids kept kind of bringing water and stuff, and they've
done the same thing. It's kind of a lot, but
it shows that the but I mean, I think what
it signals is that Democrats know that, you know, Republicans
now have the votes, and so this is kind of
(03:09):
the last effort they have to make their case. This
bill is going to be central I think in twenty
twenty six mid term messaging for both parties and so
you're seeing that play out now with Leader Jefferies on
the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I guess, and you know, you would have thought after
McCarthy's deal that the Congress would have voted. Okay, look,
this is this is a one hour max. Anybody that will, well,
no more, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I think Congress is going to vote to limit their
own time to speak.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I guess you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Got come on now, that's right, come on now.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Well, I would imagine that the President Trump has got
to be pretty happy about this, and he's going to
be eating some corn on the cobbon, you know, ribs
out in Iowa. What's he doing in Des Moines today?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, he's got this big. It's kind of a celebration
of America. He's calling it the kickoff to the America
to fifty celebration. Obviously, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of our independence is next year, but a whole year
of events planned by President Trump. It kicks off at
the Iowa State Fair. I have been there many times.
(04:10):
The food is tremendous. I usually have to go on
like a salad only diet for a week after when
I get home. A lot of deep fried food there.
It's very good, and Iowa is a state that is
near and dear to this president's heart. Right. It sort
of catapulted the twenty twenty four race, as he just
demolished the field on that cold night, and he's won
(04:33):
the state three times. He's going to talk. We are
told about some of the measures for farmers in these
trade deals, but I imagine it will turn into a little
bit of a victory lap here, maybe a long victory
lap here on the one big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
There you go, all right, we'll have a great Fourth
of July weekend. Jared, thank you, buddy, and we'll talk soon.
