So I talked to some of these guys yesterday, Matt Gaetz and Chip Roy and those cats, and I said, hey, look, man, stop blackmailing the majority of the majority. Stop holding these things over the Speaker's head and my head. Stop voting against these rules. Because when you vote against a rule, I don't get a chance to vote for or against a bill which is effectively disenfranchising 750,000 Wisconsinites and the rest of the American public. So I respect Chip Roy's constituents, I respect Matt Gaetz's constituents, and I expect them to return that favor to me and respect my people in Wisconsin. (01:30–01:45)
