mr. roy: i think what jim is doing is calling a bluff of people saying they're going to deal with democrats. good luck explaining that back home, that you're cutting a deal with the democrats. never in the history of this institution, to the best of my knowledge, have we ever appointed a speaker pro tem with ethis full pows of the speakership without a duly elected speaker. we have not done that. to do that would be playing games with such an important position, third in line to the presidency. we should do our job and select a speaker. the constitution says that. so any move to do otherwise is contrary to the constitution and would do enormous damage to not just the republican party but the house of representatives. and i violently oppose any effort to do that on the floor of the house. reporter: do you think there'd be a legal challenge to it? mr. roy: i believe it's constitutionally -- not just questionable but directly contrary to the constitution in se, we shall choose a speaker. and to

mr. trump learned from his mentor, the lawyer and fixer roy cohn, how to walk up to the line of illegality without crossing it. he has got incredible balls, mr. pratt says. trump says, would you go and tell that guy over there to steal from me? and so he can say, i never told the guy to steal. and things like that is how trump gets away with it. crowds attempts to curry favor with trump were first reported earlier this month, with the details that trump revealed secrets about americas submarine fleet to the australian billionaire. according to protests count, as described by the sources, pratt told trump that he believed australia should start buying its submarines from the united states. to which unexpected trump, leaning toward pratt, as it to be discreet, then told pratt to pieces of information about u.s. submarines. the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a russian submarine without being detected. trump is denying these reports on social media and calling anthony pratt a, quote, red haired weirdo from austra

roy blunt. [applause] mr. blunt: thank you, tom. tom is a good friend, our accomplished wives are good friends, which makes it easeor for -- easier for us to be good friends. tom has been an adviser of mine since i announce fahd years ago i wasn't going to run for another term. the united states senate is one of the few places in the world where at my age, after 26 years in congress, people would ask why are you leaving so early? i want to join in welcoming margaret, and thanks to kelly who filled in while we wayed for margaret to get here. and with my colleagues, with my friend val demings from florida, we found ways to work together. we had an op-ed published not too long ago, i was glad to be part of that. one of the reasons we're here, tom daschle's determined leadership that you have to find solutions. i point out that the bipartisan policy center is not nonpartisan. it's bipartisan. and that's different. when tom daschle and i first had a chance to work together, i was the republican whip in the house and he was the democratic

mr. netanyahu. some would argue on our and i think judge over theory about some of the reasons we did have roi on thell i think is because are pretty turn and pivot to ukraine, which i think we had to which we have to understand is this is a nonsecurity advisor which is over in a few weeks ago said we have never had this kind of coldness people i might not recording directly but he said -- never seen it this quiet. well, we were wrong. i think that attacks like th this -- if you may, not this, but they've been trying for a while. but israelis and the americans were able to understand what wa happening and squash, much like the retention tax here in new york but thank god we have people that have a news report these attacks picks of the intelligence failure concerns m but, jesse, i greet you in limiting terrorist infrastructure of hamas had to be the focus. proportionality is not the issu but we have to understand, if they own gaza, israelis, then they will own gaza that's the second question. your point, what comes next? maybe we said we don't care wha comes next. but i think we have to be mindful of

mr. roy: where jim jordan is calling the bluff and walk out a deal with democrats and good luck on that deal to choose a speaker. i don't favor moving that procedure. never in the history of this institution, never, to the best of my knowledge without having elected a dually elected speaker. to do that would be playing games with such an important position with third in line to the presidency. and do our job and select our speaker. any move to do otherwise is contrary to the constitution and would damage not just to the republican party and house of representatives and i violently oppose that. i believe it is constitutionally -- i think it is contrary to the constitution saying we shall choose a speaker without having chosen the speaker makes no sense. i think we need to take a step back and choose a speaker.

mr. roy: again, this is something that every one of us has a vote and you have to vote. if my colleagues are comfortable. >> you want to hear the members why they came out against jim jordan. mr. roy: i had a lot of private conversations, many of them are friends, but they have to explain what their motivations are and motivations and issues looking backwards that isn't well. the question is how we go forward and mr. jordan is receiving the vast majority of republican votes. 199 compared to 200. [indiscernible] what do you make of appropriators voting against jim jordan. mr. roy: they can cast their own vote and explain it to their constituents. there is a lot of support for jim jordan in texas. but it is not lost on me that the proprietors and house armed services committee folks are the most skeptical at the moment and change the status quo and with the money we don't have. >> when you talk about the -- [indiscernible] >> first of all, my support is not changing. the conference, in my view,

mr. jordan? rep. roy: no. the way i look at it is jim got 200 votes for speaker of the house. four years ago people would have laughed. at the end of the day we are in a position where now people can, they are out there. their constituents will let them know whether they are for or against them. that's true for all of us. we have to look at our constituents in the eye and tell them why we do something. we'll see what happens over the course of the day. i expect we'll go back to the well at some point. >> you think some of those votes will flip before the day is out? rep. roy: i don't enjoy being in the prediction business. what i know is we have to listen to our constituents. we'll see what happens. >> do you expect them to offer anything to both, either a policy or rules? rep. roy: you have to talk to jim about that. my perspective is jim's standing up for the american people against this town, basically, and saying we need to change this place. people aren't looking for him to be cutting deals. i think getting people to understand how you approach things, that's different. h

roy: he's 199, 200. kevin was down to 200 at the low point of his cycle. it is not meaningfully different. so we will see what happens now where mr. jordan wants to go next. i am sticking with him through the process. again, the number is not dramatically different. four lost, two gained, plus one who came back. reporter: did he ask leadership to put the resolution on the floor? he said he wants to see where people are. rep. roy: i think what jim is doing is called the bluff of folks who said they would go work out a deal with democrats. good luck solving that back home that you are going to cut a deal with democrats to choose the speaker. the fact is i do not favor moving to the floor on that procedure. never in the history of this institution, never, to the best of my knowledge, have we ever acknowledged a speaker pro tem without having elected a duly elected speaker. we have not done that to the best of my knowledge. to do that would be playing games with such an important position that is third in line to the presidency. we should do our job and select a speaker. the constitution says that. any move to do otherwise is contrar
