WEBVTT

00:01.807 --> 00:04.358
SHE’S A MEMBER OF THE OVERSIGHT

00:04.393 --> 00:05.227
AND NATIONAL RESOURCES

00:05.261 --> 00:05.798
COMMITTEE.

00:05.799 --> 00:07.219
CONGRESSWOMAN PORTER, THIS IS

00:07.221 --> 00:09.057
SUCH A STRANGE MOMENT BECAUSE

00:09.059 --> 00:11.286
YOU HAVE THE SENATE MINORITY

00:11.288 --> 00:12.136
LEADER REACHING INTO HOUSE

00:12.137 --> 00:14.527
BUSINESS AND AS FAR AS I CAN

00:14.529 --> 00:16.120
TELL MAKING LIFE EVEN MORE

00:16.121 --> 00:19.109
DIFFICULT FOR KEVIN McCARTHY WHO

00:19.143 --> 00:21.881
WAS TRYING TO HANDLE THIS

00:21.915 --> 00:23.234
MARJORIE GREENE SITUATION IN

00:23.235 --> 00:24.597
WHATEVER WAS GOING TO BE HIS

00:24.599 --> 00:25.315
QUIET WAY.

00:25.317 --> 00:26.738
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO MITCH

00:26.739 --> 00:28.479
McCONNELL’S STATEMENT TONIGHT

00:28.480 --> 00:30.517
AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR

00:30.551 --> 00:31.491
CONGRESSWOMAN GREENE’S

00:31.525 --> 00:32.811
ASSIGNMENTS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY

00:32.812 --> 00:33.856
AT STAKE?

00:33.891 --> 00:35.112
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE

00:35.146 --> 00:35.776
HOUSE.

00:35.810 --> 00:37.872
>> I THINK EVERY ELECTED

00:37.873 --> 00:39.810
OFFICIAL HAS A DUTY TO TELL THE

00:39.811 --> 00:41.831
TRUTH, TO STAND UP FOR TRUTH,

00:41.865 --> 00:43.765
AND TO CALL OUT THINGS THAT ARE

00:43.766 --> 00:45.160
FALSE OR HARMFUL FOR THE

00:45.194 --> 00:45.848
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

00:45.882 --> 00:47.552
AND WHETHER THAT’S, YOU KNOW, A

00:47.553 --> 00:49.407
FELLOW MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC

00:49.440 --> 00:51.129
PARTY DOING THAT OR IT’S

00:51.164 --> 00:52.334
REPUBLICAN MINORITY LEADER MITCH

00:52.335 --> 00:53.203
McCONNELL, I’M GLAD HE’S

00:53.204 --> 00:54.008
STEPPING UP.

00:54.042 --> 00:55.801
I’M GLAD HE’S BEING TRUTHFUL.

00:55.802 --> 00:58.373
AND IT’S UP TO KEVIN McCARTHY TO

00:58.375 --> 01:00.432
STAND UP AND DO THE EXACT SAME

01:00.433 --> 01:02.141
THING OR I VERY MUCH HOPE HIS

01:02.175 --> 01:03.685
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES WILL HOLD

01:03.720 --> 01:05.710
HIM TO ACCOUNT.

01:05.744 --> 01:08.439
>> AND KEVIN McCARTHY HAS BEEN,

01:08.441 --> 01:10.572
IT SOMES S SEEMS TO ME, KIND OF

01:10.573 --> 01:11.481
TO MAKE THIS THING DISAPPEAR

01:11.482 --> 01:12.279
SOMEHOW.

01:12.281 --> 01:15.206
IT IS WITHIN HIS POWER TO SIMPLY

01:15.208 --> 01:16.522
KNOCK CONGRESSWOMAN GREENE OFF

01:16.523 --> 01:18.058
OF THE COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT THAT

01:18.059 --> 01:20.545
SHE GOT ON THE EDUCATION AND

01:20.547 --> 01:22.492
LABOR COMMITTEE, OF ALL THINGS.

01:22.526 --> 01:25.213
THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AFTER

01:25.247 --> 01:28.009
ATTACKING DAVID HOGG, ONE OF THE

01:28.010 --> 01:29.807
VICTIMS OF ONE OF THE MOST

01:29.809 --> 01:30.641
HORRENDOUS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

01:30.642 --> 01:32.142
WE’VE EVER SEEN.

01:32.144 --> 01:33.906
BUT WHAT YOU SEEM TO BE SAYING

01:33.907 --> 01:35.633
ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE AND WHAT

01:35.634 --> 01:37.455
THE SPEAKER SEEMS TO BE SAYING

01:37.456 --> 01:38.980
IS, IN STENY HOYER, IF THE

01:39.015 --> 01:39.854
REPUBLICANS DON’T REMOVE HER

01:39.855 --> 01:40.613
FROM THAT COMMITTEE, WE WILL.

01:40.647 --> 01:43.161
IS THAT WHAT YOU EXPECT TO

01:43.162 --> 01:43.613
HAPPEN?

01:43.615 --> 01:45.950
>> I THINK THAT’S THE DIRECTION

01:45.951 --> 01:48.044
THIS IS HEADED, BUT I WANT TO BE

01:48.079 --> 01:49.568
CLEAR, I HAVE A STRONG

01:49.602 --> 01:51.193
PREFERENCE HERE FOR THE

01:51.228 --> 01:52.810
REPUBLICANS TO STAND UP AND DO

01:52.811 --> 01:53.812
WHAT IS RIGHT.

01:53.814 --> 01:56.089
I WANT A REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT

01:56.091 --> 01:58.020
WE CAN WORK WITH, THAT WE CAN

01:58.055 --> 01:59.781
TRUST, THAT WE CAN TRUST TO BE

01:59.782 --> 02:02.017
TRUTHFUL, THAT WE CAN TRUST TO

02:02.018 --> 02:02.526
STAND UP.

02:02.527 --> 02:04.317
WE NEED THAT, ESPECIALLY IN THE

02:04.352 --> 02:05.431
WAKE OF DONALD TRUMP’S

02:05.432 --> 02:07.221
PRESIDENCY IN WHICH, YOU KNOW,

02:07.256 --> 02:09.086
REAL VALUES AND REAL ETHICS WERE

02:09.087 --> 02:09.975
IN SUCH SHORT SUPPLY.

02:09.977 --> 02:12.756
SO WHILE I’M ABSOLUTELY PREPARED

02:12.757 --> 02:15.048
TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE

02:15.049 --> 02:16.950
AMERICAN PEOPLE, FOR THE

02:16.951 --> 02:18.406
INTEGRITY OF OUR CONGRESS, MY
