Tony Gonzalez

Bipartisan deals negotiated and led by the Speaker of the House. What role exactly is he playing here?

It's kind of interesting. We have a president. We have a vice president. We have a speaker. It feels like it is if Elon Musk is our prime minister. And I spoke with Elon a couple of times this week. I think many of us.

Unelected.

Well, unelected. But I mean, he has a voice. And I think a lot of large part of that voice is a reflection of the voice of the people. Once again, a 1,500-page bill, how does that pass the smell test? It's absolutely wrong. It's what's wrong with this place. So we have to get back to regular order.

The other part of it, too, is while House Republicans were fighting over this spending bill, guess what Senate Democrats were doing? They were ensuring that President Biden got his 235th liberal judge over the finish line. That's why it's so important that House Republicans stay united, stay laser-focused on delivering on a President Trump agenda next year.
