And then the other aspect coming is, you know that the Democrats, they've already said they're going to eliminate the cloture rule.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

uh when this when this when they next time they get the majority of the senate and if that happens guess what all of the policies change you get puerto rico you get washington dc estates you get a u.s supreme court that's packed and logged up with more than nine members you change the very nature of the trajectory of this nation do you get the feeling that there are republicans colleagues of yours in either the house or senate who prefer to be in the minority

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

Um, I, I gotta believe that there are, um, some people are very comfortable.

This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

I, you know, when I was, I was chair of the freedom caucus when we were in the minority before and we pushed back everything.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

And I actually had, you know, we were, we were asking for roll call votes on virtually everything we possibly could to slow them down, do everything we could to slow down their agenda.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

And I actually had Republicans come to me and tell me how irresponsible they thought that was.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

And so that's a crying shame to me because, uh, I believe that, uh,

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

We shouldn't be in the minority.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

I believe that America is still a majority center right nation.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

And that means that you have to do everything you can to preserve that center right status, which means you have to keep the Republican majority in the House and the Senate and lay the groundwork for 2028.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

Because if you screw up 2026, guess what else is screwed up?

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

The election of 2028, which is where a new president will be considered.

VINCE

Well, you're gonna have to do at least a couple of things.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

Number one is the healthcare issue because, and I'm not suggesting that you have to extend the subsidies, but you have to provide an alternative so that the vast majority of Americans

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

have their premiums go down, they have better access to health care.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

You can do that by just creating a free market system that's separate and apart from Obamacare.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

You have to turn down a lot of Obamacare.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

uh regulations but we have legislation to do it i introduced legislation last week on it um i think we're going to be voting this week on a on a bill that's going to largely i shouldn't say largely it's going to make a difference it will actually reduce premiums by about 12 percent um save 30 billion dollars over 10 years now that is just that's just

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

little bitty parts of what needs to be needs to happen.

VINCE
This Could Win Us The Midterms | Episode 189

But but that's a first step in the right direction.
