Why 13 Republicans Betrayed Voters?
00:05:15

|
| They've had money in Washington like it's M&M's candy. | |
| And now they want to spend another 50 to 100 billion dollars on that sham thing. | |
| So explain this to me, Dennis. | |
| Why would 13 Republicans, after what happened on Tuesday, when the voters repudiated the Biden agenda, why would they do this? | |
| And I blame Kevin McCarthy. | |
| And I'm friends with Kevin McCarthy. | |
| He's from California. | |
| But he did not whip this. | |
| And Pelosi did not have the votes to pass that bill. | |
| It is astonishing. | |
| It truly is. | |
| So my theory, which I wanted to bounce off you, I thought you would have a better answer than I. My theory is it's great money for their districts, and that is more important to these Republicans than the country. | |
| I think, unfortunately, you're right. | |
| There were port barrel projects. | |
| There were earmarks for special districts. | |
| Democrats bought these votes, but I would have thought that Republicans would have put the principle of this. | |
| I mean, my God, we already gave the states $1.9 trillion, remember, in March. | |
| That's right. | |
| This is 1.1 trillion. | |
| Well, the key thing is what you said, money we don't have. | |
| Let me read their names. | |
| Don Bacon, Nebraska. | |
| Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania. | |
| Andrew Garbarino, New York. | |
| Anthony Gonzalez, Ohio. | |
| John Kotko, New York. | |
| Adam Kinzinger, Illinois, Nicole Maliotakis, New York, David McKinley, West Virginia, Tom Reed, New York, Chris Smith, New Jersey, Fred Upton, Michigan, Jeff Van Drew, New Jersey, Don Young, Alaska. | |
| These are Republicans who have nothing in common with the conservative principles, basic moral principles that your country comes before money for your district. | |
| So, do you think that's the number one reason that they bailed the Democrats out? | |
| No, I think so. | |
| Well, for some of them. | |
| For others, they bought into this lie that this is an infrastructure package. | |
| How do you buy into that? | |
| No, no, I don't understand. | |
| What if they called it an investment in Topps baseball cards? | |
| Would they buy that? | |
| Here's the thing. | |
| I mean, if I had been the Republicans, I would have said this. | |
| Incidentally, it's not bipartisan. | |
| The Republicans had nothing to do with writing this bill. | |
| Pelosi wrote this bill herself with her Democratic colleagues. | |
| They never even consulted with the Republicans. | |
| Do you remember, Dennis, what the first act of Joe Biden was when he became president? | |
| The first act? | |
| Yes, the pipeline. | |
| This is a guy who says he cares about infrastructure. | |
| And by the way, that pipeline costs nothing. | |
| That one is free. | |
| It's paid for entirely by the private sector. | |
| He killed that while he approves the pipeline from Russia to Germany. | |
| And then he says this is an infrastructure bill. | |
| And the Republicans said, when you approve the Keystone pipeline, we'll talk about infrastructure. | |
| But my God, there's so much money in this bill for mass transit projects. | |
| Why is it that a company, Tesla, right now, is the third? | |
| Most valuable company in the world. | |
| It has a $1 trillion market cap. | |
| You get that? | |
| $1 trillion is the worth of this company. | |
| Why does the federal government have to shower with subsidies? | |
| It's a disgrace. | |
| And I think of the small business owner getting clobbered and Tesla getting billions. | |
| Billions. | |
| Billions. | |
| Yes, billions. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| So tell me this, what I'm not clear on. | |
| Do you think that these Republicans who voted for this one will vote for the bigger one coming up? | |
| Oh, God forbid. | |
| Remember, we talked about this three weeks earlier. | |
| This is the worst bill. | |
| That I've seen. | |
| I arrived in Washington in 1984 when Reagan was president. | |
| I've been proud to work for Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. | |
| That's pretty cool. | |
| And everything that we have done to accomplish, whether it's work for welfare reforms, with supply-side tax rate reductions, whether it's limited government and whether it's education choices, all of these things are in jeopardy. | |
| I can be on your show for two hours and tell you all the horrific things that are in this bill. | |
| We need every single Republican. | |
| Why is it, Dennis? | |
| There are only two Democrats out of 257 in the Congress. | |
| That's less than 1% are against a massive spending bill that would bankrupt our country. | |
| Because, I know you're asking this rhetorically, but I would just like to answer it nevertheless. | |
| Everyone left of center believes in government. | |
| I would like you to hear, we have a couple of, we have a minute. | |
| Sean, please play for Stephen Moore what the head of the DNC said last week. | |

DNA Of The Democratic Party

|
| Steve, this is something for you to embed in your mind and send out even. | |
| It's just one line from a press conference that Jamie Harrison gave. | |
| Because they have become a party of fascism and fear. | |
| And those are the two things that really motivate them right now. | |
| Right, no, no, that's not the quote. | |
| The DNA of the Democratic Party is what I wanted. | |
| That was bad enough. | |
| Imagine that, the head of the Democratic Party says the Republican Party is fascist. | |
| The DNA of Democrats is that we believe in government. | |
| There you go. | |
| That's the answer, Steve. | |
