a wooden plaque that says speaker pro-tem patrick mchenry, and i got a gavel. the ceremony, the gavel that i wrapped on that on that first day. so once in a shadow box, the others in a box. and those are my two keepsake for for that little, little bit of quirk that might be a jeopardy question. one day accordingly, pursuant to clause 12, a of rule one, the chair declares a house in recess subject to the call of the chair. you wrap tard with that gavel. i did say i wasn't unemotional about it. i kevin's a kevin mccarthy is a dear friend of mine and what happened to him was completely undeserved. he'd been he'd seen success after success in 2023. he kept all of his pledges from opening week and performed well and so the outcome didn't match the performer. so i thought, this is just unjust, unjust, not right. and in that moment, that's that that emotion just bubbled up in me. anger, anger, anger. yes, anger. this is not right. we've seen it. we've seen so much undermining of our institutions, the institutional functions that our government placed these checks and

because as has been pointed out by patrick mchenry, you know, donald trump is the president. i'm sure he's going to be on the phone to a few of these guys saying, get, get on the team. but again, this speaks to the nihilism of some of the members who just simply want to blow the place up. they want to disrupt for the sake of disruption. now, i like to know, though, patrick, you would know the answer to this, but you were a chief deputy whip. you know, ordinarily, you know, you should be telling the leadership where you're going to be before the vote. and as a courtesy, even if you're going to be against them, tell them. but i'm sure that didn't happen here with a few of these votes. >> well, don't be certain of that. don't be certain of that. i mean, you have people that talk very bravely. as i said before, in closed doors, and you go out in front of the cameras, you experience those. yeah. um, and, and actually, you know, we've seen this a lot, this congress. but what we see here is now a group of republicans that if they don't vote at the end of this vote, you have the the

former congressman and chair of the house financial services committee patrick mchenry is the keynoteaker at the conference. joining us now from it at the university of miami. congressman mchenry, we just had the breaking news from megan, a lot of numbers there. but the bottom line is this. we are debts and deficits are going up. cnbc.com story from jeff cox broke moments ago, the deficit wept up 40% spending. it's out of control. >> so, it's clear that we have a federal government that's too large for our capacity to pay for it. we are a great and growing economy, yet we have record debt and deficits. this is unacceptable. we have just a year and a half ago negotiated the raising of the e.l.f.debt ceiling. speaker mccarthy had me negotiate with the white house and bring them stubbornly along with spending reductions. unfortunately, this same congress has gone beyond what we were spending before that debt ceiling, but what we negotiated in the debt ceiling agreement. we had key changes to the environmental regulatory policy and welfare reform connected with those debt ceiling increase

chairman patrick mchenry, thank you for the greta: you have been in congress for many decades and you have passed nearly 70 bills into law. what has that been like? how have you achieved that? rep. eshoo: by working very hard. well, it is deeply gratifying. i have always thought we come here to do a job, not to hold onto a job. and i've always set goals for myself and my staff. and at the beginning of every week, these are the things that we need to get done. by the end of the week, how far have we moved the ball down the field on the various efforts? so you have to be highly intentional. i mean, plans fall apart week to week. and it's not everything that i would like to see done. but i think setting goals, and then be very intentional every single day. time is the most precious thing that is really given to us. and i have always thought that i need to make optimum use of the time that my constituents have given to me. so, i don't think there is a secret sauce. it's hard work. but it's such important work. so i am very proud of the body of bipartisan work that i have been able to achi

announcer: next, republican representative patrick mchenry sits down for a c-span interview to discussis time on capitol hill. he emphasizes the importance of having friends on both sides of the aisle, and comments on the history he has witnessed as a member of congress, including his recent experience as acting speaker following the ouster of speaker kevin mccarthy in october of last year.

kevin mccarthy and patrick mchenry are going against the coalition government that they agree to. this is in direct conflict to the power-sharing agreement that put him in office. as result of that you saw great unity in april and what they were able to pass. this is throwing that completely in the trash. if they continue to go forward and their plan is to rely on democrats in the house of representatives when they don't need any of them, that's not what the american people were getting when you put house republicans in office. >> host: callers waiting for you this morning. russ vought with us and to the bottom of the hour. the center for renewing america, from white house budget director and this is the way and out of arlington, texas, up first line for democrats. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. how y'all doing? i just want to say that my question is, why do we even have a debt ceiling when most countries around the world don't? second of all, i noticed your organization has in god we trust in it, and i kind of feel that's a little scary being the fact we have separation of ch

and i just i'm proud to serve with my ranking member, patrick mchenry, who has so kind and generous to me. i've actually enjoyed serving maxine waters some of the committee subcommittee chairs and ranking members like al green and and lacy clay and emanuel cleaver have become good friends of mine and i honor their and i'm grateful for it. but sometimes oftentimes we better than were given credit for. i want to take a second, because i think this is such important part of debate that we're having today and talk about american capitalism. i mean american capitalism is as the american model. it's been our american way that has brought us more opportunity, more prosperity, upward mobility, more innovation, more creativity, more generosity than any other country that has existed on the face of the earth. and part of that american capitalist is an idea that now that we don't have no government, but that we have limited and not that we have no taxes, we have a limited taxes. and what you saw over two years of a republican majority in the house and the senate with republican president is we di

patrick mchenry will join us. >> i was all wound up about congestion pricing. i'll save it.eciate it. >>> two entrepreneurs are finding new ways to beat the market. frank holland, do tell. >> thank you very much for having me right now. they released a book today called "you deserve to be rich." the con-founders have thousands of views on youtube and more than a million followers on social media. they're emphasizing, be as educated as you are enthusiastic. >> everybody's talking about bitcoin, that trickles down to xlm, so these waves happen based off of news cycles and what's currently making money in the economy and it's our job to kind of position the ship not just to jump on the different waves but to educate people. >> the pair say the surge and then the selloff in quantum computing stocks highlight a real shift from a hold on for dear life to a more strategic philosophy. >> we learned a valuable lesson over the past week, with the quick fall of quantum chips. but it's interesting, i think it says a lot of people are paying attention to it, the fact the quantum computin

you had great conversations with patrick mchenry other institutionalists that made the choice to leave. that will not be joining us it's so hard to find someone to find an issue how vulnerable that could be if you are in a swing district. even the state gop district collaborating on something like speeding up passport renewal time. something like that that so not a partisan issue. if you have anyone in your district into travel internationally, that would be a benefit to them. just the idea that you've sat down and taken those meetings with someone across the aisle could be enough to be targetedd. hiding your bipartisan accomplishments.by that is something i have seen emerge.be there was such a promise to bring out into the open to improve the transparency is generally going to be angry videos shouting there are some cases explaining why you voted yes on a bill for this is what i got done in congress today. or literally bring congress togr people it's not the type that's mode it was site with the very end is a great example with the large omnibus or the continuing resolution that had a

i had some great conversations with patrick mchenry, other institutionalists who made the choice to leavet be joining us for the 119th congress. about those incentives. how it's all possible to find someone across the aisle who cares about an issue and seek the same type of solutions that you do. but how vulnerable that could be if you are in a swing district or in even a safe gop district collaborating on something speeding up passport remodeled time. something that is so not a person to person issue if anyone in your district needs to travel internationally that would be a benefit for them. just the idea that you sat down and took the meetings with someone across the aisle could be enough to be targeted. like gabe said, hiding your bipartisan accomplishments is something i've seen emerge. >> i do think it's so unfortunate if you wind back to the advent of social media i do think ÃÃthere was such promise of how it could bring legislating out into the open and improve transparency. i think catherine is right the videos and generally it's gonna be videos shouting ÃÃthe videos explaining wh

i had some great conversations with patrick mchenry, other institutionalists who made the choice to leave and will not be joining us for the 119th 's . even a state gop district collaborating on something like speeding up passport renewal times. something like that that is so not a partisan issue and if you have anyone in your district who needs to travel internationally, that would be a benefit to them. i just the idea that you have sat down and taken those meetings was someone across the aisle can be enough to be targeted. like gabe said, hiding or by person accomplishments is something i have seen emerge. gabe: i do think if you wind back to social media, i do think you would have thought -- there was such promise of how it could bring legislating out into the open and improve the transparency. i think katherine is right, videos shouting no. there are some members, videos explaining why you voted yes or this is what i got done in congress today or literally bring congress to people. instead, because a lot of how the social media algorithms work, not the type of content promoted. i thin

i suppose patrick mchenry was on our air earlier saying that part of the symbolism around the message that we're hearing from these conservatives is that there are potentially enough of them to remove johnson as speaker under the adjusted rules. is that part of this? and is that like an implicit threat as this is going on? >> well, it always is. you know, it's a one person, one person can do that, can bring the speaker up for removal. and i have people saying remove the speaker. now, i said, well, he's not in, he's not in. i mean, you know, we're we're kind of in a limbo state there. the constitution provides for that. but in the new rules package, they're going to move it, i believe, to nine, um, nine members. and i think some of the freedom caucus asked for five, and they can live with nine, i suspect. and that's where it will move to. >> but the sort of. implication being that there may be enough of them together here that we're seeing that could move forward with that 100%, 100%. >> and they can, they can they can knock him out of the saddle pretty easily. and i think that's in th

in the past, the speaker was thrown over, patrick mchenry took over around he took over for kevin mccarthy boot, which he did. there is no speaker, come noon today. there is no control of the house of representatives mike johnson has two by four. it will be rocky. it will be high drama from 2:00 p.m. through 4 pm. >>> what is the end game for the republicans that might vote against him? is it back the same way was? is it just personal publicity? it does not seem like it is well thought out. >> there are a couple of ways to look at this, there are legitimate gripes with mike johnson, which i understand intellectually. they are upset that he did not get what he wanted to get with democrats in control of the presidency and the senate. that is nonsense. you have one branch of government. they don't like that he did pass ukraine eight. they tried to boot him out because of that. they don't like that he pass the clean government funding bill, which was his only way. they want changes to the way the house operates. those are things that you can make promises on, but he cannot execute on it that m
