Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Maria Bartiromo
0:05
went ballistic on a very popular Republican as the set of her show just went haywire during
0:12
an interview segment earlier today talking about the race for Speaker of the House
0:18
She had one of the candidates on and it got really intense
0:22
Folks before we get started I want to remind you to like and share this video. It really helps us out and helps our channel grow and it really helps keep us going and

0:35
That also really helps us out. So Maria Bartiromo was interviewing Steve Scalise, a very popular Republican, probably
0:42
somebody you like, definitely somebody I like. There's a race between him and Jim Jordan right now for Speaker
0:47
I think both men are great. I think either one would make an excellent Speaker and I don't think we need to take
0:52
sides here and say one is evil and the other one is good
0:56
They're both great Republicans. They're both great conservatives. Well, Maria Bartiromo wanted to know where Scalise stood on aid to Ukraine and aid to Israel
1:07
Now I have my own philosophies on this. I think aid to Israel, who has been a staunch ally and who has been a partner and who has
1:16
benefited us many times with tipping us off about possible terrorist attacks before they
1:21
happened, they deserve our help and our support and our money. Ukraine has not really been a valuable partner
1:28
They've been a leech that has continuously taken from us and not given us anything that
1:32
I can think of. So they're not the same beast. Be that as it may, Maria Bartiromo got very angry with Scalise because she said he wasn't
1:39
answering the question. Let's take a look at it. Do you have ideas in terms of getting the numbers down
1:47
You've got now 39 days left to get the remaining appropriations bills passed
1:52
Will you be able to do it? And at what price? Yeah, and I want to get right back to work on the appropriations bills
1:59
We had passed three of those right before everything happened with the speaker's race
2:04
And now let's get back to moving more appropriations bills. We had a few teed up ready to go
2:09
We are over 70 percent of funding of government out of the House
2:13
Senate hasn't done zero. We're going to be in the 80s when I'm finished my first week as speaker
2:19
The members are ready to get back to that work. Let's keep passing all of the appropriations bills
2:25
By the way, that's something you haven't seen Congress do in a long time. And I think we need to get back to that as a normal process, not a unique time where
2:32
Congress is actually appropriating bill by bill, not in big packages, no omnibuses, no
2:37
midnight hour deals, all these shot clocks and deadlines that get missed
2:41
Let's get back to doing our work on a normal process. But we're going to get back to that day one as well when I'm elected speaker
2:47
Well, I understand. But the truth is, is with all due respect, Congressman, you're not answering any questions
2:53
Do you endorse sending money to Israel in an emergency package? Do you endorse sending the twenty four billion dollars the president Biden is asking to Ukraine
3:00
Are you going to manage bills? Maria, I just told you. As you asked me, I just told you I spoke with Ambassador Dermer yesterday about very specific
3:09
things that Israel needs. Some, by the way, are in the what's called the S OPS bill, state foreign ops bill that
3:15
we just passed out of the House, the defense appropriations bill that we just passed out
3:19
of the House. That's real money in pieces of legislation we passed out of the House ready to go
3:25
Iron Dome funding, munitions, real things that we've been talking about. And obviously we need to talk about even more specific things
3:32
You want to get in details. I'll get into details with you. Now, I think Scalise is trying to play it cagey
3:36
He's trying to play it coy. He doesn't know which way the members of his caucus want to vote, I think
3:41
And he's trying to maybe gauge them. But you have to stand firm in what you believe in
3:44
If you believe in something, if you have core values, core beliefs, you have to stand in those
3:49
And if people come along, great. And if they don't, that's great, too. Every day on here, except for Mondays, I give you guys my core beliefs and my values
3:57
They don't change if Donald Trump disagrees with me or Jordan disagrees with me or Matt
4:02
Gates disagrees with me. My core values and my principles are my core values and my principles
4:07
Everybody should have them. We shouldn't be led by what other people want and then change our principles and our values
4:13
on a whim, because then they're not principles and values. If I say something you disagree with, it doesn't mean you have to hate me
4:19
You can still enjoy the other things I say, but you disagree with me on that one topic, that's fine
4:23
Because you have core values and beliefs that maybe don't match what my core values and
4:27
beliefs are. And that's okay. Scalise should have answered the question directly
4:30
I think Morita Bartiromo was right here. He should have answered the question as it was asked
4:36
But I want to know what you guys think. Let me know in the comments, please. Also, again, please remember to like, share, and if you haven't done so already, please subscribe
