The House Prepares to Re-Open

Fox News Radio's Ryan Schmelz joins us to discuss the latest as the members of the House of Representatives head back to Washington DC. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're sort of poking fun at this subcommittee vote last
night as four as Yeah, I said, its emotions report
is agreed to that and the vote itself goes to
the full House in Washington, D C. This morning, where
they're not worrying about lighting the tree yet. Fox News Radios,

(00:21):
Ryan Schmells is there, Ryan, Thanks for doing this today today.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Of course, good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So we heard a little while ago that it may
be as early as four o'clock today, your colleague, let
us know. What do you hear about the full vote today?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's that's I think that's that's accurate, Yes, four o'clock.
You know. The one of the reasons why they might
be waiting a little while because ultimately they need to
give members time to get back into town. So a
lot of them are traveling after Veterans Day events. There
was actually a group who were on a flight last
night and they had to have their flight diverted because

(00:57):
somebody is being unruly, yelling to work fascist at some
of the members. So that's kind of the situation we're
in right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And when we talked yesterday we discussed variables. Is there anything,
Are there any other things that could pop up that
would somehow sideline this thing or are is it a
steel pipe lock today in the vote?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, a tenant is going to be a problem, or
it could be a problem, you know if members have
issues getting flights back to DC or just traveling back
to DC in general. You know, Republicans are going to
probably need to have full attendance to be able to
pass this thing, and they're going to need everybody to
be on the same page. You know, they're going to

(01:43):
lose one, They're going to lose Thomas Massey, but if
they lose just one more vote, the bills in trouble.
So it's a tough situation to be in, especially with
the margins. But you know, if Democrats don't show up,
or some Democrats decide to vote for the build and
then they'll be in good shape. So attendance is kind
of that weird, you know thing kind of hanging over

(02:05):
this where if everybody's there, we know what the map is.
If not everyone's there, we.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Don't know what the map is, and traveling could be trouble. Right.
The TSA is still folks are still talking about. There
was sixteen thousand flights canceled yesterday alone nationally.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, you've got some who are
traveling by motorcycle to the vote today, so it's it's
going to be a fascinating thing to see if everyone's
home safe or not.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't know about you, but I hope that stage
coach gets in on time and there it is, see
the movie Trains, Planes and Automobiles. That is our friend
Ryan Schmel's Fox Nigts Radio in Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Thank you, of course, thank you.
