Speaker 1 (00:00):
They have been up all night long. I think a
bunch of them fell asleep in the House chambers last
night as they're trying to get this vote in where
O'Neill joins. It's now Roy, good morning, welcome in so
long night, they're still working at it.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah. I came Jeffries to he'll talk, and the Democrat
from New York is the minority leader, and he gets
to talk as long as he wants. It's been over
an hour and hour and a half. We'll see. We're
expecting him to wrap up soon, the House Speaker said
earlier today he might see a vote in the eight
nine o'clock hour and then this will be done. We
(00:32):
finally really got the big movement around three point fifteen
this morning Eastern time, when the final Republicans came on
board to approve the rule that set up the final
vote on this big bill, which really is the centerpiece
of President Trump's agenda. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
And I was talking to Congressman Gary Palmer last night
as I was heading to bed, and I said, how's
it going, And he said, well, voting on adopting the rule,
four Republicans voting against the rules, so it's not likely
to pass without the rule passing, we can't bring the
bill to the floor. And I said, is this open
for debate? And he said yes. And then he said
(01:09):
I said, so where are we now? And this was
about an hour later, and he responded about ten thirty
last night and said, I just saw this. We're still
on the floor. I think this will go all night.
And then as I wake up this morning, it looks
like they've got these four Republicans that were kind of holdouts,
and they needed them to come around, because he said,
(01:30):
and I've seen that, you know obviously on Fox this
morning they're talking about it's a done deal. It's just
a formality at this point to get the vote.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Right. So they came around around three point fifteen this morning.
They had their concerns about too much debt, or they
didn't like the custom Medicaid, or they wanted money for
rural hospitals, whatever their issue was. A lot of them
also were saying, hey, look, this is going to kill
me in my election. So can we get air Force
one to visit and you know, can you get you
that highway fund money? Can you just set a little
(01:59):
aside for a bridge my district? That sort of stuff.
Has been happening in the horse trading, and that's really
what those holdout votes were about. But the arm twisting
was done and now it should be official a few
hours from now.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You mentioned the king. Jeffries, the Democratic leader, has been
instill speaking as we do this interview this morning. If
it's a done deal, why does he continuing to just
go on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, because it's their last gasp to put stuff on
the record. It's you know, look, both sides do it.
When it was Minority Leader Mike McCarthy, I think holds
the record for the longest one of these speeches. So
Republicans do it, Democrats do it. And look, it's really
these Republican holdouts that made this vote go to a
record overnight for over six hours, actually two votes to
(02:45):
bring when it came to the rules. So you know,
both sides are to blame for the fact that this
is getting dragged out right now.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, well, good news. We'll go to the president's desk
and meet that July fourth deadline that he wanted. All right,
fourth of July. Speaking of that Roy, here we go.
Are you going to be celebrating?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Absolutely? All right, here's a trivia question for you. How
many hot dogs are we going to eat on the
fourth of July?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
How many hot dogs collectively do you know?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh, my gosh, in the United States, remember about three
hundred and fifty million Americans ish of how many hot
dogs will be consumed for the fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I'm going to go with fifty million.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You're missed it by oh so much. You missed it
by one hundred million, it's all. It's one hundred and
fifty million hot dogs are going to be eaten at
the fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I read the wrong stad
that Joey Chestnut's eating fifty million my bed and McKenzie's
eating one hundred million. Yeah, McKenzie's she's chopping down already.
She's acting like this as the last day of school
in kindergarten. She can't wait for.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The pet And one more quick fun fact. How many
official American flags have we had in our two hundred
and forty nine year history. The stars and the stripe
in the blue fields all stay the same, but the
number of stars change and they flags are approved each time.
So how many different versions of the American flag have
we had officially.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, I'm going to go a dozen twenty seven. Wow, man,
I'm sure I'm at this today. Well, one of the things,
for sure, I did see that eighty six percent of
America will celebrate in some fashion. I don't know what
the rest of the fourteen percent are doing, but hey
have at it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But yeah, they're working.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Is it not feeling a little bit more patriotic this
year than most years or recent years anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, you know, so we just got the Gallup surveyed
that said there's less pride in America. But yeah, I
think it's also the fact that it's out a Friday
is also helping. So I think we're all many, so
many of our colleagues have taken advantage of having this
whole week off that you and I are the only
schmucks still working today.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Look, I've got two hours and forty minutes to go
and then I'm southbound to the beach. All right, buddy,
there it is. Have a good weekend, Roy, Thank you
so much. I appreciate you. Six nineteen. Also, a lot
of I think the feeling of patriotism coming back has
to do with who are president in the United States,
and it is feeling good
