00:00 if nothing has changed in your opposition to Sculley's.
00:02 I'm supporting Jim Jordan.
00:06 Has he reached out to Mrs. Sculley's?
00:08 No, I haven't heard from Steve at all, but I am calling for us to take this to the House
00:13 floor.
00:14 It's absurd to go conference after conference.
00:17 We represent the people.
00:18 I think it's the right thing to do for the American people.
00:21 Kevin McCarthy had to go 15 rounds.
00:23 The next speaker should be able to do the same thing.
00:26 That's my message to the conference today, is let's stop doing meetings where we have
00:30 to check our cell phones.
00:32 I'm not checking my cell phone.
00:33 I'm not a 14-year-old.
00:35 I don't leak to you guys out here.
00:37 Y'all already know that.
00:38 I think we need to act like adults and be representatives and get on the House floor.
00:41 What's your major concerns with Sculley's?
00:44 He is battling cancer.
00:46 My father died of cancer, and I have great compassion for him for that.
00:51 We have a president right now that clearly has dementia.
00:54 We have Chuck Schumer, who's 80 years old, is the Democrat leader in the Senate.
00:59 We have Mitch McConnell, who looks like he has many strokes on camera, over 80 years
01:05 old in the Senate.
01:06 We need a strong fighter for the Speaker of the House in the Republican Party, and this
01:10 is how the American people feel.
01:13 I wish him the best.
01:14 I want him to recover, but I want his full energy and efforts to focus on that, and I
01:19 think that's the right thing to do.
01:20 Super, you then shunned down the concerns about his health.
01:21 Thank you.
01:21 concerns about his health.
