ZINKE We re going ░░░░░░░░ have a speaker battle ░░░░░░░░ up which is a ░░░░░░░░ It breaks down pretty ░░░░░░░░ and this is not ░░░░░░░░ first rodeo You know ░░░░░░░░ came in I watched ░░░░░░░░ Boehner fight I watched ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy fight I watched ░░░░░░░░ Ryan fight but this ░░░░░░░░ a distraction because we ░░░░░░░░ t have the majority ░░░░░░░░ it weren t for ░░░░░░░░ J Trump Many of ░░░░░░░░ members because his endorsement ░░░░░░░░ a gold standard many ░░░░░░░░ the members would not ░░░░░░░░ in the House had ░░░░░░░░ not been for Donald ░░░░░░░░ Trump So to have ░░░░░░░░ speaker s battle all ░░░░░░░░ does is a distraction ░░░░░░░░ delays getting the American ░░░░░░░░ policy through The promise ░░░░░░░░ is that it should ░░░░░░░░ the promise kept and ░░░░░░░░ House has to do ░░░░░░░░ part They cannot do ░░░░░░░░ part without a speaker ░░░░░░░░ You obviously support Mike ░░░░░░░░ ZINKE I do And ░░░░░░░░ he s the most ░░░░░░░░ speaker Right now he ░░░░░░░░ Trump s blessing per ░░░░░░░░ if that s the ░░░░░░░░ term But you know ░░░░░░░░ you re dealing with ░░░░░░░░ few members that just ░░░░░░░░ to put the media ░░░░░░░░ front of the country ░░░░░░░░ the reason why we ░░░░░░░░ the majority is because ░░░░░░░░ J Trump was at ░░░░░░░░ top of the ticket ░░░░░░░░ cannot execute a Donald ░░░░░░░░ you know agenda which ░░░░░░░░ members said they would ░░░░░░░░ they have a speaker ░░░░░░░░ OK ZINKE So I ░░░░░░░░ the speaker itself is ░░░░░░░░ distraction The policy is ░░░░░░░░ s important and you ░░░░░░░░ affect the policy you ░░░░░░░░ put the policy in ░░░░░░░░ without a House that ░░░░░░░░ led in this case ░░░░░░░░ the speaker No one ░░░░░░░░ has as many votes ░░░░░░░░ Johnson Can Johnson do ░░░░░░░░ better Well we all ░░░░░░░░ We all can do ░░░░░░░░ better but right now ░░░░░░░░ is better for this ░░░░░░░░ is a focus on ░░░░░░░░ sure the policies which ░░░░░░░░ promised are executed.”
