Mike Johnson

Should the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois be in prison?

I'm not the attorney general.

I'm the speaker of the House, and I'm trying to manage the chaos here.

I'm not following the day-to-day on that.

I do know that they've resisted the introduction of or the offering of National Guard troops in Chicago, which is a terribly dangerous city and has been destroyed under, in the process of being destroyed under liberal Democrat governance and their terrible policies.

No.

You're talking about EMTALA, which has been part of the law for most of my life.

Emergency care is provided without question to anyone who comes in.

If you're hemorrhaging and you show up in an emergency room, you get treated.

That's something we all support.

That's a very good law.

We're in favor of it.

You're cherry picking a tiny subset of the issues.

Could you go nuclear and blow that all up and end the filibuster once and for all and allow everything for only majority party vote, 51 votes in the Senate?

I mean, is it possible?

Yes.

Is it wise?

You can have a lot of people who would tell you it's not.

I mean, on the Republican side, I would be deeply concerned if the Democrats had

a bare majority in the Senate right now, a Marxist ideology taking over the Democrat Party?
