00:00 When you look at the chaos in Congress right now, the inability to elect a speaker, especially
00:06 in a time of crisis when urgent action from Congress could be needed, how would you, if
00:11 you were in the Oval Office right now, handle that, bring some unity to the Republican Party?
00:15 And are you concerned that this inaction from the GOP might have some consequences for Republicans
00:21 in 2024?
00:22 You know what I'll tell you, when I was governor and we had a Republican House and a Republican
00:26 Senate, they would butt heads, I would bring them into my office and I would say, "We're
00:30 not leaving until you figure this out."
00:32 This doesn't need to play out for Americans to see, it needs to play out behind closed
00:36 doors.
00:37 They don't need to leave until they fix this.
00:40 They don't need to get paid until they fix this.
00:43 What I will remind my fellow Republicans is, you don't fix Democrat chaos with Republican
00:49 chaos.
00:50 Get it together, get us a leader.
00:52 If you look at what's happening in Congress, they have one job and that's to get us a budget.
00:58 And here you have, they have only given a budget on time four times in 40 years.
01:03 We have not seen action from Congress on the border, on the budget, on bringing down debt,
01:08 on trying to make sure that we get legal immigration, or in dealing with all these other issues.
01:14 When America is distracted, the world is less safe.
01:17 We are seeing that play out.
01:19 Get it together.
01:20 This is not about you, it's about the American people.
01:22 And the American people are done with this.
01:24 They need to get in a room and not leave until they figure this out.
