=== Why We Won By Default (02:07) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart Podcast.
[00:00:04]  Do you think I'm right?
[00:00:05]  Do you agree with me most Americans don't really know what the agenda is and that this election wasn't really won on ideas?
[00:00:12]  It was sort of like the Republicans are, well, they're not that party.
[00:00:15]  They're not Obama's party.
[00:00:17]  Yeah, I think we mostly won by default because of how we had some good candidates, but we mostly won by default because the president has this overreaching European vision of a central government that can solve every problem.
[00:00:29]  It's not true.
[00:00:30]  The American people reject it.
[00:00:32]  And I'm thinking, you know what?
[00:00:33]  We could do a lot better.
[00:00:34]  And I think that the Republican Party ought to stand for those people that are out of work.
[00:00:38]  That's exactly.
[00:00:39]  Congratulations on your indictment, inductment, and being inducted into the Senate Hall of Fame there.
[00:00:46]  Let me disassociate myself from the indictment word.
[00:00:48]  I'm teasing.
[00:00:49]  I'm teasing.
[00:00:50]  Thanks.
[00:00:51]  Good to be on.
[00:00:51]  Good to have you.
[00:00:52]  All right, Senator.
[00:00:53]  Good to talk to you.
[00:00:54]  All the best.
[00:00:54]  Congratulations.
[00:00:55]  Thanks, John.
[00:00:56]  Have a good day.
[00:00:57]  You can explain what it is that a Republican stands for today because I don't think most people know.
[00:01:01]  Amen.
[00:01:02]  You and I have talked about your big five in the past, and I'm aligned with you on them with school choice and the border and free market health care solutions.
[00:01:09]  But your word agenda is exactly right.
[00:01:11]  Like you, I'm a limited government, small government guy.
[00:01:14]  Most of my lived in Washington and can't be solved here.
[00:01:17]  I'm glad to hear you've only been in Washington a month.
[00:01:19]  You still haven't been corrupted because you're still speaking out.
[00:01:22]  I mean, that's a very good sign for the future for you.
[00:01:25]  And I say that cynically, of course.
[00:01:26]  He ought to be voting based on the Constitution, our rule of law, and what's right, and not worrying about, you know, whatever legacy he may have as Chief Justice.
[00:01:35]  I agree with you.
[00:01:36]  And I'm frustrated as a conservative.
[00:01:39]  Tell me why I shouldn't be, if I shouldn't be.
[00:01:41]  No, you should be.
[00:01:43]  Why don't we just go stick with the Constitution?
[00:01:47]  Sean, you and I are 100% aligned in being for the Constitution.
[00:01:51]  All right.
[00:01:51]  I got to run, though, Senator.
[00:01:52]  Thank you for your update.
[00:01:54]  We appreciate it.
[00:01:55]  Thanks, Sean.
[00:01:56]  Aren't there legal challenges then that we have available to us that the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to do something?
[00:02:02]  Yeah, I'm with you, and we should pursue anything and everything.
[00:02:05]  It should be an all of the above strategy.
