00:00Jim, come ahead.
00:02Is your warm-up better?
00:04Yeah, not at all.
00:07Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families.
00:11When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom.
00:15And we will bring that fight in committee, on the floor, and on the stump every single day.
00:23I want to thank my colleagues for their support.
00:26And I want to introduce our current whip and next Congress's whip, the gentleman from Minnesota, Mr. Tom Emmer.
00:34Thank you, Chair.
00:39Today is not a day for celebrating.
00:42We lost last Tuesday, and I take it personally, as do my colleagues.
00:47I fought for these seats as the NRCC chair and worked like hell to keep them as the majority whip.
00:54We're going to do it again.
00:55Over the next two years, we will regain the trust and confidence of the American people so we can build
01:02back our majority in 2028.
01:04To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase, because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting
01:14your name on a ballot.
01:15House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat accountable for every vote cast, every committee hearing held, and every sentence
01:23set on MSDNC.
01:26This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical
01:33communists that they are.
01:35We will expose every empty promise that they made to voters.
01:38We will expose Democrats' economic agenda that will make housing, food, gas, and health care more expensive.
01:45We will expose the Democrats' sanctuary state open border policies, all that will make our communities less safe.
01:53Not only will we ensure the American people know who these people really are,
01:59but House Republicans will put forth an agenda that speaks directly to the American people.
02:03With this House Republican team, I am confident we will win back the trust and confidence of the American people
02:09in short order.
02:11We will undo the damage and chaos caused by these radicals, and we will retake the majority in 2028.
02:17Now that the election is behind us, we are one conference, and we have one mission,
02:22to earn back the trust of the American people and take back this House.
02:29We have seven weeks before the next Congress begins, and we cannot waste one single day.
02:36Democrats may have the majority, but we must, and we will, go on offense day one.
02:44We're going to hold Democrats accountable.
02:46We're going to challenge their policies, and we're going to give American families a compelling reason to put Republicans back
02:56in charge.
