Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Jim Jordan
0:04
is now the odds-on favorite to become the next house speaker and he's just
0:09
revealed what his first act would be. Before we get started please make sure
0:14
you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Particularly liking and sharing really help us out and we really do appreciate it. And really those little things they
0:23
help our small channel continue to grow. So Jim Jordan was talking to Fox News
0:29
host Maria Bartiromo and this is at a point when he was not the odds-on
0:33
favorite. It was him versus Scalise. Scalise has since dropped out of the
0:36
race and she asked him what his first directive would be if he were made house
0:41
speaker. Which is I think a great question. I think it's the people want to
0:45
know and I think the people in your caucus want to know. And it's about time
0:49
the Republicans pick a speaker. We have to get going with this. So Jordan gave
0:53
his answer and honestly I support it. Let's take a look. People were fighting
0:57
for the things they care about that will make a difference for our great country
1:01
As Speaker of the House what would be your direction in the face of war in the
1:06
Middle East right now? We are looking at a candidate yourself and Steve Scalise
1:12
vying for the job. You know President Trump has endorsed you. He wrote on Truth
1:17
Social over the weekend that he would like to see you as Speaker of the House
1:20
But tell me what your first directive would be as Speaker. To help the State of
1:28
Israel. There will be some resolution on the floor to support the State of Israel. We will consult with Chairman McCaul. We will consult with the Senate. We'll work
1:34
with the State Department and the White House. But that is something
1:38
I think gets bipartisan, bicameral, full support from the United States government. Because again this is our great friend and great
1:45
ally in the State of Israel. So I think that's front and center. And then frankly the next order of business is to deal with what's coming on November 17th
1:52
And I will outline a plan that I think we have to have. When we walk out of that
1:55
room next week we got to have 218 votes for a Republican Speaker. And we got to
1:59
have 218 votes for how we deal with with November 17th when the when the funding
2:03
bill for the government runs comes due. We need to have a plan for how we're
2:07
going to deal with that. And I will outline that in front of my colleagues on on Tuesday when we get together. You have been talking with many of your
2:14
colleagues over the weekend. Steve Scalise is also asking colleagues for their support. Can you give us a sense of whether or not you feel you can you
2:22
have those votes? We've got amazing feedback and incredible feedback. At a time of war
2:29
it's important to know who your friends are. Israel needs our help right now and
2:32
I'm behind that a hundred percent. This is not Ukraine and Russia which is a
2:37
much messier situation. This is a terrorist attack where you slaughtered civilians. There is a definite line here of good and evil and the United
2:48
States has to be on the side of good whenever and wherever it can. This is one
2:53
of those times. Israel has been a great partner to us. They're not just a country
2:57
that takes from us. They give in terms of intelligence, in terms of intervention
3:01
all kinds of things. Israel's always been there for us and we should be there for
3:06
Israel. I want to know what you guys think about this so please let me know in the comments. Also please remember to like, share and subscribe because it
3:14
really helps us out. I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explained America. We love you
3:19
guys. God bless you. Take care everybody
